  3. Re:Universal File Formats on Linux *Won't* Fail on the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Gee, and we wonder why Microsoft doesn't want to open their file formats, etc up?

    Yeah, slapping a 3 button mouse on my Powerbook is really going to help the whole portability thing....

    *Sigh*

  5. Excuse me? on On the Subject of OpenGL 2.0 · · Score: 2, Funny

    "OpenGL 2.0 is trying to bring stability and open standards to programmable graphics and GPUs."

    Uh...isn't that what OpenGL did in the first place?

    This is a technology that's been around for years and isn't verion 9 yet :)

  6. Re:Intresting, but is it really useful? on Sega, Nintendo Team Up To Create New Graphics Board · · Score: 1

    Let's not mention the giant flop called the Saturn.

    Mark this a troll, redundant, offtopic, but at least hear me out

    "Enhancements include anti-aliased text and first class internationalisation support, new accessibility features for disabled users, and many improvements throughout GNOME's highly regarded user interface"

    So, they are about 4 years behind Windows?

    I'm partial to KDE, and moreso ICEWM :)

  9. And all this time I was thinking.... on Time on "Pirates of Primetime" · · Score: 1


    "Will and Grace" were the Pirates of Primetime!

  10. Re:Welcome to the real world on Do You Like Your Job? · · Score: 1


    I think I'm slowly giving up. I'd always hoped that I'd find that "one place" where things were done *right*. Each job I take, I get a little closer. But I'm not there yet.



    Maybe as you are maturing, you're just putting up with more?

  11. Walling off Asian email?! on Walling off Asian E-mail to Prevent Spam · · Score: 4, Funny


    Is this why my mail order bride isn't writing back to me?

  12. Re:why put the wheels on the side? on Segway Hits the Auction Block · · Score: 1


    Think about where your feet are.

    Is it easier to stand on your feet when they are a shoulders width apart, or when your heel is in front of the toe of the other foot??

    It's all about balance.

  13. AMD who? on What's Next in CPU Land after Itanium? · · Score: 1

    Well...they never captured enough market/support.

    MMX or 3D Now?

    Intel will win by brute force.

    Itanium or Sledgehammer?

    Itanium.

    x86 is bad enough....64 bit x86 will really be a kludge

    Anything on computer readable format can't be copy protected.

    Sorry

    Thats just the way it is.

  17. What is this, HotJobs? on Cross Platform Video Conferencing Software? · · Score: 1

    However, if anyone had a basic skeleton for an application providing basic video/sound in/out, they'd be willing to work with the developers in order to plug in their own transport-code and develop a useable application. So my question is really twofold: Does anyone know of an existing video conferencing application that supports all three major desktop platforms? Does anyone know of an application whose developers would be willing to work with said company?

    First advertising, now competing with Monster.com

  23. Re:It's impossible to compare these on SuSE 7.3 vs XP · · Score: 1

    Flame bait?! Are you insane?

    I'm just saying the operating systems are SO different in purpose and composure, that it's pointless to attempt at comparing.

  24. It's impossible to compare these on SuSE 7.3 vs XP · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It'd be like comparing....Mac OS X and Windows XP, or OS 9 and Windows 2000.....

    Or a Ferrari and a Mercedes

  25. Re:From a similar experiment I've read about on No-Tech Schools In Tech Land · · Score: 1


    that may all be well and true, BUT

    you need computer skills to get many jobs, as say, an accountant.

    creativity doesn't help you one bit.
