  1. I do, you insesitive clod! on Ukrainian Computer Destruction Championship · · Score: 1

    But what is wrong about ukrainian girlfriend? You'd be fed up all day, you'd have plenty of beer, and you'd sit in clean room, doing nothing. This is like a miracle or something. No, man, UA girlfriend is COOL, beleive me!!!

  2. I can't beleive... on 20th Anniversary of RMS's Original GNU Post · · Score: 1

    I can't beleive he beleived in what he was writing in that letter! For 20 yo stuff it sounds like a completely crazy idea! There was SOOOO much work to do... He's a hero, no doubt!
    GNU Rules, GNU forever!!!

  3. What limit do they have? on Statistically Optimal Music · · Score: 1

    100? 500? 2500? Not enough for a gang of slashdot geeks anyway. I wish I could listen to it in a week.

  4. I wish... on China Upgrades from Microsoft Office · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The time when such stories won't be news is at hand!

  5. Re:Counter-Strike is a bad example on MUD Co-Creator Bartle On Voice Chat in MMOGs · · Score: 1

    Well, it has a plenty of standard voice messages to choose from. Anyway, I only say that I don't LIKE it . And when I hear that crappy voice-sound from the headphones, it is something like "Welcome to the real world". In RPGs voice communication sometimes is OK too. For example, when you play with your boddie sitting in front of the computer next to yours, you too use the voice communication -- you talk to him. But instead of pulling you off the virtual world it helps to create even more effect. The game became MORE real, because you're not alone in this delirium :))

  6. He's completely RIGHT! on MUD Co-Creator Bartle On Voice Chat in MMOGs · · Score: 1

    And now I know why I hated players using voice communication while playing Counter-Strike. It blows me away from the game back to the real world. And I get tired of it :)

  7. Re:In other news... on SCO Awarded UNIX Copyright Regs, McBride Interview · · Score: 1

    Some people are writing code, others getting money and fame for this code :((

  8. I always suspectedd these two words are close on Linux Beer Hike in Slovakia · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But can anyone explain what this event is?

  9. Re:I'm 21 and am pretty lazy on Ageism in IT? · · Score: 1

    Well then, what do you do for money anyway?

    Honestly, I'm just jealous :)

  10. What's a big deal? on GoboLinux Rethinks The Linux Filesystems · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The only thing they have actually done new is initialization procedure, according to the article. Or they think that I'll set up a new system just because of new weird paths?

    I guess this distro is still "Yet another... "

  11. I guess wars of the future... on The Interplanetary Internet · · Score: 1

    Will take place in the IPN.

    Quake war:
    Mars vs. Earth

  12. The quiestion is... on Harry Potter with Guns · · Score: 1

    What is "to be cool"?

  13. I better say another two words... on Harry Potter with Guns · · Score: 1

    Richard. Stallmen.
    Because this guy have began a completely new era in software making. He have brought the idea of free/open source software, the liberty into computer world. He is THE ONE, that said "No" to moneymakers and made a software development a kind of art.

  14. Woah! on New Terminator 3 Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    The hot one! How they dare!

  15. I only wonder on New Terminator 3 Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Who is the unlucky robot, who will be violently killed this time.

  16. There are two separate things! on Clean Needles for Hackers · · Score: 1

    I think that there are two problems, not one.
    First: to protect the software from security holes.
    Second: punish people for commiting a crime.
    These are separate problems. The second is not a way to prevent security holes as the first is not the way to prevent crimes. Besides, different people are solving these two problems. The first is for software designers, the second -- for police. Both must just do their job not expecting the other to do it.

  17. Re:Does it matter if the design is over 100 years on Strange New Keyboards and Mice · · Score: 1

    I can hardly beleive, that the vertical mouse is more comfortable and ergonomical than my trackball:) But I guess vertical trackball will be nice. I always wanted the mouse to have an arms for my elbows!

  18. Slightly OT on Space Elevator Company Fission · · Score: 3, Funny

    I guess it is time to make a kind of "I survived slashdotting" signs for web-sites. Or T-shirts or something.

  19. Totally agree! on How Configurable Should a Desktop User Interface be? · · Score: 1

    Besides there can be several themes for the interface for user to get rid of some headaches while tuning it. I mean not the colors etc., but the set of functional keys and what they do.

  20. Hehe. You definitely haven't seen ... on Engrish LOTR: The Two Towers Captions · · Score: 1

    The REAL translation of LOTR. In russia one guy has translated LOTR1 into russian... Well, he hasn't actually TRANSLATED it, he wrote another script, but close enough to the original (sometimes :) ) And I haven't had this much fun watching a movie ever! I've been laughing from the first second till the last!
    Maybe I'm just not a big fun of this kind of movies, but it was owesome! Much better, than the original one :)

  21. Pension? Never heard of it! on Lifetime Careers in IT? · · Score: 1

    As for career -- I'm just a beginner. Only two years in it. I have been involved in three different projects and in all of them as a freelancer. And I begin to think that pension is a fairy tale for kids.

    I can add In Soviet Russia to the subject :)

  22. Try a long, loud, drunk party, on Immunity To Remorse In A Pill · · Score: 1

    that last for several days. Then, when this all came to pass and your head is ok, ask others what you have been doing for this days :) The thing, that you will feel -- that is the remorse.

  23. Oh! Them again! on How Are You Spending Your Christmas Vacation? · · Score: 1

    To see on Christmas those faces I've been looking at the whole year?? No thanks!

  24. Never thought of Windows as of entirely bad OS on Dvorak: Linux too much like Windows · · Score: 1

    I think Linux developers have many things to learn from it. Especially GUI. (Besides this GUI was designed not by Microsoft) Because Windows has what ordinary user wants: handy GUI. And most features needed by user are easy to tune. And extreme stability is unecessary if you turn on/off your PC several times a day. Honestly, It think that windows is much more convenient for desktops than Linux. Linux has much to offer to people too: open and free sources, stability etc. But this features are not for ordinary users. They are for scientists, programmers and so on. Linux distributors just have to think about it and beat Microsoft on those expanding parts of market. And Linux on home PC... I think it is still nonsence.
