  1. I am just confused on Red Hat Trying to Make Fedora More Open? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    One day redhat wants to put all the best resources in improving RH enterprise series.

    The next day redhat wants to put all the best resources in rescuing RH Fedora.

    Life was just better when there was a universally superior redhat 9. We could have successfully been at redhat 10 by now.

  2. HL2 mod problem on Natural Selection Mod to get Sequel, Source port · · Score: 1

    The problem with the mod is that HL2 itself barely runs on most people's PC nowadays. Who can develop except those with super 3Ghz processors with $500 video cards. I'd expect another year and a half before the mod community really picks up.

  3. Destructing Environment on Havok Team Interviewed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What would it take to create an engine that allow the destruction of the entire environment. Sure it's nice to toss toilets at a wall, but I'd like to see the wall collapse after 20 hits.

  4. Re:Weatherbug is not awadare on Who Invests in Spyware Companies? · · Score: 1

    Adaware is still the best free spyware detection program there is to my knowledge. I'd be happy to accept a better free alternative.

  5. Re:/.ed already? on Today in P2P · · Score: 1

    Where is SoulSeek on the list? Does anyone else think edonkey seems too techie?

  6. Re:Solutions: on Laptops, Headless Servers and KVMs? · · Score: 1

    Screw KVMs. Get a monitor that accepts both DVI and VGA input at the same time.

    One machine connects via VGA. The other machine connect thru a VGA-to-DVI cable.

  7. Re:Well DUH! on U.S. Officially Gives Up On WMD Search In Iraq · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Like I said, wait 20 years. The gassing and incinerating was not public knowledge until years after Allies troops invaded German territory. At the time of the war, nazi mistreatment was not on your daily newspaper covers.

    Vice versa, cheerleader posing is about the only thing acceptable enough to broadcast. Since it won't hurt Bush's chance of getting back in the office.

  8. Re:Premature post-mortem? on N-Gage No Longer Relevant · · Score: 1

    Heh, the N-Gage was irrelevant after the 1st week launch. It has on record one of the worst 1st week sales in any console ever. It reduced in price significantly, and still performed worst than Atari Jaguar.

  9. Re:Well DUH! on U.S. Officially Gives Up On WMD Search In Iraq · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather, two of the more well influential journalists quit in the middle of a war, that's no coincidence. We obviously have alot of things to hide.

    Just count 20 years from now, and all of us Americans will be as shocked as the Germans citizens who discovered the prisoner camp mistreatments for the first time.

  10. Re:Great magazine on Free Software Magazine Inaugural Issue Released · · Score: 1

    But I won't read it until 50% of the magazine is bloated with advertisement. Isn't that the requirement for all high-subscription based popular magazine.

  11. Re:Small european town.. on Resident Evil 4 Released · · Score: 1

    Well that's easy to answer. Capcom has more sequels than any other video game company in the industry. It's only natural for games to take place in more or less the same atmosphere sequel after sequel.

    Mega man series
    street fighter series
    RE series
    Devil may cry series
    Omnimusha series
    zzzz.....

  12. Re:Just write it off I guess on Biggest Identity Thief Ever Gets Put Away · · Score: 1

    I had a friend who used to throw away the credit cards if the person checking the signature did anything suspicious. Like dropping the card on the floor or staring at it in an unusual manner. Paranoid or not, this person went through a new card every other month and never had a single problem.

  13. Re:Might DRM be the mighty blow? on Linux Looms Large in DVRs, PVRs · · Score: 2

    DRM? I think subscription is the mighty blow. If there is any solution that is a 1-time purchase with no need to assemble/build anything. Work-out-of-box while being subscription-free. Then I am sold!

    Of course the quality has to be good too. Don't need all the features, basics will do.

  14. Re:Settles it on EA Nets Another Exclusivity Deal · · Score: 1

    EA is in uncharted territory now. No company has ever released 3 football games in one season. One of the following has to happen. Either they burn out their developers for good. OR all 3 football games will basically be identical.

  15. Re:What about feigning Injuries?? on Robot Makers Say World Cup Will Be Theirs By 2050 · · Score: 1

    LOL LOL.

    Brazil will still win with a secondary human roster.

    US will show up with football players with pads and an american football robot.

    English robots will have to carry 10x the armor to protect themselves from insane crowds who try to light them on fire.

  16. Re:Purpose? on Getting Broadband To The Bayou · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't go that far. After all Bush prefers low tech, innovationless profit like oil.

  17. Re:Craigslist on Is eBay the Promised Land? · · Score: 1

    Yeah that site rulez. Except sometimes I wonder the validity of the posts. Pick up free Blah Blah here. But what if the joke's on you, and there is nothing there.

  18. Re:Offshore? on FTC Tries to Can Sex Spam · · Score: 2, Funny

    US absolutely can't do a thing. It's the same old issue of a spammer in Antartica 1000 miles away across the world, pressing "send, send, send".

    I love how a million American parents are writing a million complaint letters to Clearchannel etc for flashing 1 second of Janet Jackson's breast. Here they are at the mercy of the porn spammers, and can't do a thing.

  19. Re:Three months is quick? on Three New Microsoft Bulletins · · Score: 1

    Well the bulletin is really a mistake. So those fixes won't cut it. The 3 real bulletin goes...

    - It's official, our Windows XP IS a vulnerability.
    - It's official, our Internet Explorer IS a vulnerability.
    - It's official, our Windows media player IS a vulnerability.

  20. Games on Mac on Marathon Trilogy Available for Free Download · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    That's like celebrating security on windows. Please, this is NOT a flamebait.

  21. Re:Practical? on Practical Guide to Red Hat Linux, 2nd Edition · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I agree. I am more interested in what I shouldn't mess with in the OS. How about an extremely safeproof tutorial to upgrading 2.4 to 2.6 kernel. And yeah, let me know exactly what I shouldn't do!

  22. What US Should do on EU Parliament Demands Fresh Start for Patent Directive · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Start from scratch! The U.S. patent system is screwed up beyond belief. There is nothing I can say here that hasn't already been said before. Also we need to make it so that no corporations can own patents. Only individuals or groups of individuals should own patents. An entire corporation is too big and too financially strong of an entity to own a patent.

  23. Re:GTA on Too Much Gaming, Anyone? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, with GTA san andreas I went full speed with a car into a skateboarding ram. After that I went for pizza. Paid for it, then robbed the restaurant.

    If only I could do this in real life, I wouldn't play video games.

  24. Re:Can't grill anymore on Lean Mean Grilling PC Mod · · Score: 2, Funny

    If they want to cook even faster, a heatpipe straight from the ATI or Nvidia would be nice. I'd like to use an Omaha steak as a heatsink.

  25. Re:what a coincedence on True Stories of Knoppix Rescues · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have never needed to rely on knoppix. For every major failure, I just use the setup installation OS CDs to boot.
