  1. Re:Software or Hardware? on Transmeta Releases Midori Linux · · Score: 1

    Transmeta CPU's are X86 compatible. If this distro increases the market for low-power devices, then it's helping Transmeta's business.

  2. Re:Of course it's significant... on QT 2.3, With Anti-Aliased Fonts · · Score: 1

    Biddies in the Slashdot lounge,

    All they do is they whine and scrounge....

  3. What qualifies you to speak on this? on Are Expensive RDBM Systems Worth The Money? · · Score: 1

    Why do you think that you're qualified to speak on this matter?

    From reading your comment you're just adding to the noise.

    Have you ever deployed/worked on/maintained an enterprise scale database?

    If not, then please shut up.

    It's amazing isn't it really. If you know that you've got no knowledge of the field, THEN DON'T TRY AND GIVE A TECHNICAL RESPONSE !!!!

  8. Re:There is no such word as Diablo on Blizzard Sues Over Diablo Movie Title · · Score: 1

    I should have learned by now, don't feed the trolls and all that, but I think he was actually a moron. Sad really.

  9. Re:There is no such word as Diablo on Blizzard Sues Over Diablo Movie Title · · Score: 1

    Ever heard of languages other than English?

    As far as I know Diablo is a romance language derivation of the Latin word for Devil.

    And also as other people have pointed out, ever seen a Lamborguini Diablo?

  10. Re:The only linux I ever installed on Corel Linux - Not Quite Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    LinuxNewbie is probably just what you're after. It's articles are aimed at the beginner at Linux.

  11. Re:The market of the dissatisfied on More On Phoenix Developer Consortium · · Score: 1

    How is he enslaved to MS apps? What's stopping him using something else?

  12. Re:Microsoft has a Linux strategy. Be very afraid. on Microsoft Bails Out Of Corel · · Score: 1

    I modded you down because you're talking rubbish. You obviously don't understand how free-software works.

    So what if there's a MSLinux with proprietry hooks so that .Net only works on that platform. How the hell is that different to what we've got now with Windows?

    MSLinux CAN'T subvert Linux, BSD, etc. BECAUSE THEY'RE FREE. If you don't like what MS (theoretically) do in the future, roll your own distribution and set up in competition.

  13. Re:www.4ppl30VV|\|3zj00.com on Apple to Include BSD in WWDC · · Score: 1

    Don't you think that people who release under the BSD liscence realise what they're doing?

    If they were as fanatical as the GNU lot, then they would have released under GPL.

    Also, how can they 'rape' BSD? How on earth will anything that they do influence in the slightest FreeBSD etc.

    Do you understand free software? It's not about a jihad against microsoft. It's about sharing of knowledge in an open process.

    In your line of thinking, then perhaps the BSD people should have kept their code under a proprietry license so that Apple couldn't 'rape' them.

  14. Re:Enough Talk on Apple to Include BSD in WWDC · · Score: 1

    Why would Apple want to release a PC version? As has been regurgitated untold times here and other places, Apple make lots of money selling hardware, and I would imagine that the majority of people buying it are buying it for the ability to run MacOS. If this was available on PC's then it would kill Apples hardware sales.

  15. Re:You need to read the damn article. on The End Of Books As We Know Them? · · Score: 1

    Still don't get it do you. READ THE ARTICLE. It's not a monitor it's electronic paper, it looks and feels just like paper.

  16. Re:Alternatives to mp3.com? on Burning The Candle At Both Ends · · Score: 1

    Vitaminic is not too bad. I've had much more sucesss (as in downloads) from there than both Mp3.com and iuma put together, with virtually no promotion.

  17. Re:.. and then it will get ill... on Spidergoats · · Score: 1

    If we're creating all these different types of animal (i.e. normal goats and silk producing goats) doesn't that mean that we're increasing biodiversity? 1 type of goat to start with, now we've got 2.

    Excuse my ignorance on the subject, but are the specs for the Java VM availabile, and if so, what's to stop anyone (with a lot of spare time on their hands!) writing a compiler for any old language that compiles into Java bytecode?
