  1. urls on Interview with the Creator of Ruby · · Score: 5, Informative

    there the ruby language home page and you can download the latest version.

  2. next birthstone after perl? on Interview with the Creator of Ruby · · Score: 2, Funny

    that's treason - "off with his head!" ;)

  3. what's needed on In-depth X-Box Hardware Review · · Score: 4, Insightful

    what's really needed is the investment into making a game that makes use of all the new geforce 3 hardware. having console games made for the xbox (then probably being very easily ported to windows) will mean a larger amount of investment in pc games in the long run.

    (also possibly a monopoly on the games market)

  4. Re:Slashdot on China Shuts Down 17,000 Internet Bars · · Score: 1

    Q. people often say 'open source is communism!'. well, if it is, why isn't it allowed in china?

    A. because it isn't.

  5. Re:Way too late. on OpenGL 2.0 White Papers · · Score: 1

    the only people using that opengl dll are the people using software rendering. how many people do you know who use opengl in software rendering mode?

  6. new from maxis: sim work on Friendships in the IT Workplace? · · Score: 1

    all these answers are either lan parties (acceptable) or sports (count me out). isn't there anything more to life? i'm serious; is there?

  7. iis worm attempts boring? on Museum Of Broken Packets · · Score: 1

    surely the iis worms are one of the most useful applications around these days - forces an upgrade on the user; an upgrade to linux!

    if only they used the netcraft service to check first before ruining your neat log files...

  8. stability and portability on Spintronics in your Future? · · Score: 1

    ram that retains what's in memory only really comes into it's own when it's either running on a machine that is:

    1. running a stable os that doesn't need flushing
    2. i tend to leave my computer on all the time - it's got enough to do without me using it (downloading stuff for me, curing cancer, cracking codes etc...). the only time i turn it off is when it needs it OR:

    3. being used with a limited power supply
    4. a laptop running on a battery which you'll be booting much more often (saves time) because it's off (to save power).

    it'd be nice to save the environment too maybe ;)
  9. i know i shouldn't reply to a troll, but... on KDE 3.0 Screenshots · · Score: 1
    ...i have a couple of important comments to make:
    • the kde user interface is modifyable.
    • the new windows xp user interface has a two styles: blubbly mess in blue, brown or silver or (now get this!) the original windows interface. all these themes are just microsoft's attempt to catch up with the aesthetics of macos x and the x window manages and desktops.

    • kde is an entire desktop, not just an interface.
    • no forced registration and sending product keys to microsoft. with kde, your privacy is respected.

  10. gpl community on Fink Maintainer Steps Down Due To GPL Infringment · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the gpl's there for a reason - it's a community effort and you can't take from the community and not give back. i don't think resignation's the answer - how about fixing some of the problems instead? if you exit the game, you loose by default - keep playing!
