BTW, am I the only one who looks at Shatner as the Richard M. Stallman of sci-fi? I appreciate his past contributions to the movement, and still enjoy his past work, but wishes he would just go away now.
I don't like the idea of closed-source binaries any more than the next guy, but I also like to play games. For me, that means I have to deal with using nvidia instead of nv.
I'd love to use all open-source; but it has to be useable for my needs, first. That's why I've always appreciated Linus's perspective on the BitKeeper flamefest.
Karma whores are individuals, or messages themselves, that attempt to receive feedback in the form of karma points. Often these will be needless information (such as a link to a wikipedia article to the subject being discussed)
This coming from the one who has the over used "Insensitive Clod" sig.
I imagine that would be a valid argument if my sig was my post. But it's not. The sig is a decorator, and nothing more. If people was to quote Yakov Smirnov in their sigs, more power to them. I only ask that their post, if intended to be funny, contains something creative or original.
Oh great. Now we can add the "Chewbacca defense" to the same illustrious group of overquoted "instant +5 funny" personalities as Yakov Smirnov, CATS, Kent Brockman, and the Beowulf cluster guy.
I can't wait for someone to mention that in Korea, only old people use the Chewbacca defense./me shoots self

NeroLinux vs. K3b
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Neros advantage is that it works, period. If you think that k3b works period with a full featureset on all hardware then feel free to peruse any distro mailing lists and forums for people who can't get burning to work. Especially of DVDs.
So if K3b works on all my systems (and it does), then Nero really doesn't have an advantage at all, does it? I don't really give a crap if Joe-Bob on the Debian list can't get K3b to work; for me, it works, period.
When translating for Slashdot, did you ever stop to think if it was the right thing to be posting the personal id number, home address, email adresses etc of the people involved?
This isn't some law enforcement agent we're talking about. It's a greedy little worm, offering up his "friends" for money. He's a mercenary; and mercs are paid money for risk.
He says at the bottom that much of the research was paid for by LimeWire. I was wondering throughout the article why he was givng LimeWire such a clean bill of health, when my experience has not been so good.
The disclosure does say something for his integrity, but I fear his appraisal may be somewhat biased (intentional or not) in favor of LimeWire.
Ok, stolen? We can't have it both ways. If it isn't stealing music, but copyright infringment instead, how is this any different? Just cause it's not the **AA being ripped off it's stealing now? Gimme a break.
People can download and distribute PearPC all day long; they don't care. What this is more akin to is me take a Britney Spears album, adding a really annoying bass beat, and calling it "Halivar's Greatest Hits".
Sakharov, Ghandi, Osama bin Laden, Nelson Mandela, those types of guys.
For some reason, I don't think OBL would appreciate being placed in that particular context. Likely as not, he'd kill the others for no other reason than to make a political statement.
However, since Ghandi and Nelson Mandela were big proponents of civil disobedience (break the bad laws and face the music), we'll be more than happy to treat OBL the same. By killing his ass, of course.
Hey, hey, hey! Look who just popped out of cryogenic suspension! It's been a long time since the good ol' days, back when Yakov Smirnoff was funny and CD's were still... magnetic?
Slashdot Mirror
I thought he was being sentenced to work at Electronic Arts. Hell, give me the $500K fine.
I swear, I just found it on the internet somewhere. Please don't tell anyone.
They should give the part to Bill Bailey and let Joss Whedon write and direct.
Buffy the Dalek Slayer? Your low UID is hereby revoked. Please turn it in as you leave the building.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Certainly gives new meaning to the term "memory leak" and "core dump", doesn't it?
No kidding.

No, I'm pretty sure your free 15-day pass has expired by now. You'll just have to make do with thumbnails from now on.
Frankly, I'm impressed you even clicked on the link.
The only "diverse ecosystem" I know of lives in my dirty laundry.
Is yoru underwear really "laundry" if you never launder them? Just wondering...
Let's say I get mad at your mom for scratching the paint on my car. As punishment, I break your legs. Who's the real bad guy, here: your mom, or me?

But my dogma runs AWAY from your karma!
Even after all the mods on his karma?
Sorry... I couldn't resist.
And if you are administrating a true multi-user old-style-Unix type server, you should know enough to stop people fork bombing you (i.e. quotas).
Or you can switch back to MS-DOS. Just one process; ultimate security!
Hey! I went to Wikipedia, and look what I found!

He dared to tamper in God's domain.
and i JUST finished recompiling it.
Lucky you. I've been compiling KDE 3.0 since it came out.
Eugene! Is that you?

Just kidding.
Mostly.

I say screw him.
It's called a "joke". The parent is obviously making fun of the "freedom fries" name, and is not really exhibiting francophobia of any kind.
Really, folks; before you hit the "Moderate" button, hit yourself with a clue-stick first.
