  1. Re:Further study needed? on Acetylene Based Life on Titan? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's exactly the scientific and philosophical question a born again christian wouldn't want to be answered.

    And after that, we'll join the federation of planets. Oh, wait... Seriously though, any extreme form of democracy or lack thereof, doesn't work. You have to be somewhere in the middle.

  3. Re:B.S. on Bloggers Avoid Federal Crackdown on Speech · · Score: 1

    It has nothing to do with race, if that's what you are suggesting. In Holland, it's about the same. 80% of the people in prison is non-white. The main cause is not the color of their skin, but the fact that they all live at the bottom of society. Most of them are unemployed and are poor. If you raise their overall social standard (give them jobs, push society to accept "those" people), crime will drop.

    Why don't you create a high dpi image of that phrase yourself en go to Kinko's to get it printed on a shirt? That way you can even get it on a decent shirt instead of that thinkgeek crap that's unwearable after washing it a few times.

  9. Re:Don't Forget Opera on Corporate Servers Spreading IE Virus [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Yes. The free version has a small ad in the right upper corner though. It costs 34 euro to register and get rid of that advertisement.

    See: http://geoengine.nima.mil/ The vmap0 data contains roads, railways, cities, shorelines, et cetera. It's used by Terragear and FlightGear, so it has a GPL compatible license. http://www.terragear.org/ http://www.flightqear.org/

  13. Re:Namibia's government == GENOCIDAL RACISTS on Namibia Says "No Thanks" To Microsoft Donation With Strings · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I guess you only read the first half of the article. I quote: "But the Herero and Nama peoples from the arid central and southern regions mounted a rebellion against the colonial authorities in 1904. Tens of thousands of the rebels were massacred and stripped of their lands. Those who were left were rounded up into native reserves and used as pools of cheap labour for German colonial farmers. About 3,500 white commercial farmers own around 30 million hectares of farmland, most of which is semi-arid and used for cattle ranching and trophy hunting for wealthy European and American tourists." I can imagine they want to get rid of those so called white farmers. Oh, and nowhere can be read they are genocidal, i.e. killing the white farmers. They just take their land and don't pay enough money (not enough for those white supremists anyway). [damn, I hate it when Opera doesn't interpret my CR/LF's]

  14. Re:Where can I send a check? on Namibia Says "No Thanks" To Microsoft Donation With Strings · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Send them money to do what? Run windows? I'd rather send them one of my spare old Pentium machines to make it one of their workstations running Linux and OpenOffice. Imagine a beowulf cluster of spare pentium machines of all slashdotters. Seriously, if all slashdotters donated their 486's or P200's or whatever to the SchoolNet project... (!)

    That site is sick! Thijs, age 11, is having a relationship with an adult??? I mean, age 16 and 19 might be tolerable, but this site clearly promotes relationships with minors. Just look at those pictures. That guy is what, 45? I hope you burn in hell (though I don't believe in hell, but it should be there, just for you sick fucks).

    > You can't have something in user space take down the OS in Linux. --- That's not true. Try Xine or mplayer with a corrupted avi stream and sometimes it takes your whole system down. OK, you might say that's X11 crashing and X11's running as root, but it's still a user-app that brings it down! --Ivo

  24. Re:Easy to use Linux from Redmond? on Lycoris - Linux for the Masses? · · Score: 1

    My GF can not be qualified as a geek, doesn't run a server but is very satisfied with Mandrake 8.1 ON the desktop. In fact, after installing it as a try-out environment on a spare partition, windows was hardly booted and is now completely abandoned. With a good Gnome/KDE setup almost everything can be done graphical. Even more sophisticated stuff. And when you have to reside to a CLI, you probably have to do the same on a Mac or a Windows 2000 machine. --Ivo
