  1. Re:GTK except the printing is still crap on Adobe Releases Acrobat Client for Linux · · Score: 1

    If you use KDE, you can change the printer command to 'kprinter', then this will bring up the KDE Print dialog which allows you to select printers, etc. I've done this and it works great.

  2. Cost on Linux Powers First Handheld Software Radio · · Score: 4, Informative

    This looks really cool, but it seems that the cost will be prohibitive for people who just want to listen to the radio. As the article mentions, the ability to operate on many different formats is probably more geared towards industry uses. Oh, and of course it will save lives because emergency response teams will be able to communicate better ;)

  3. Wellenreiter on Nmap Security Tool Survey · · Score: 5, Informative

    Although it wasn't on the list, Wellenreiter is really great wireless scanner. Plus, it runs on the Zaurus under OZ3, which makes it great for less conspicuous scanning since you don't have to lug a laptop around.

  4. Re:ig-pay atin-lay on Reading Lips In Software · · Score: 0

    Whenever you have a word that begins with a vowel, such as "I", you simply add "yay" to the end. So "I" becomes "I-yay". Kind of like if you want to speak Latin, you just add "us" to the end of every word ;)

  5. Re:Pieces? on Space Shuttle Columbia Breaks Up Over Texas · · Score: 0

    The local news here just showed some doppler radar of the falling debris, and it appeared to be mostly around central and east Texas, and some in western Louisiana.

  6. Re:A book recommendation for the submitter: on Scotland: Aliens' Official Favorite Destination · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wait... if digital photos can't be faked, that means all those "NUDE BRITNEY SPEARS" photos I get spammed with are real! Woohoo!

  7. Re:Isn't that wonderful. on Germany, IBM Sign Major Linux Deal · · Score: 0

    So IBM is thriving overseas, yet here in the US they are laying off countless employees. Am I the only one who sees a problem in that?

    Yes, you are. What makes you think that the US is so special that companies don't deserve to thrive anywhere else, and must concentrate their efforts here first?

  8. Two words... on At Long Last: Stable Version of FreeCraft Game Engine · · Score: 0

    Two words... Frozen Bubble

  9. Re:FIRST POST!!! PENIS PENIS PENIS on MS Judge to Allow Demonstration of Modular Windows · · Score: -1, Troll

    First if you start counting from zero maybe...

  10. Quantum Computing on A Timeline of the Future · · Score: 0


    I find it very interesting that we'll be using quantum cryptography by 2005, but we won't have quantum computers until 2007.

  11. Re:Opportunity or opposition? on Red Hat Invades Washington · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    OS X is one of the widest installed distribution of UNIX


    I'd sure love to see some figures supporting that claim. Also, as far as the elegant server thing goes, I don't think I want my server running a RAM-hog of a a GUI like that, thanks.
