  1. Re:What impresses me most ... on Wikipedia Reaches Half a Million Articles · · Score: 1

    They're all Wikipedia articles, in that they were all edited at Wikipedia. If you mean how many of them are from the Wikipedia: namespace, then the answer is 0, as the count is only from the main namespace.

  2. Press Release on Wikipedia Reaches Half a Million Articles · · Score: 3, Informative

    Read the Press Release

  3. Re:Not surprised on Google and Their Server Farm · · Score: 2, Informative

    Google to its own rescue

  4. Better way to fight it on 'Online Poker' Googlebomb · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wouldn't it be better to implement the rel="nofollow" for these links? After all, they should be trying to punish the spammers, not reward Wikipedia (which is good but doesn't help with the spam problem).

  5. Wikipedia first for "online poker" on 'Online Poker' Googlebomb · · Score: 1

    Looks like the wiki entry is already first for "online poker".

  6. Re:Good thing on Nero Burning for Linux · · Score: 1

    Is there a distro that includes every dependency for every OS project out there? If there is, I sure don't want to run such bloatware. Why can't these projects offer an option of including every dependency they need instead of making you hunt for them?

  7. Re:Good thing on Nero Burning for Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, no, since K3B doesn't have them. For example, I wouldn't mind a VCD option out of the box (getting vcdimager, compiling source, finding out missing libcdio, getting the dependency resolved,... is not fun).

  8. Good thing on Nero Burning for Linux · · Score: 4, Informative

    Before discovering K3B, a CD/DVD burning software was the main thing I was missing under Linux. K3B is nice, but Nero (at least under Windows) had a lot more options.

    That weasel already has done so.

  10. Re:Blasted popup on RIAA Lawsuits from a John Doe's Perspective · · Score: 1
    That's what I am using. Perhaps it only comes up in some ads. I just went to it again, and I got one again about Netflix (source of the popup):

  11. Blasted popup on RIAA Lawsuits from a John Doe's Perspective · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Looks like they've got one of those pop-up ads that make it paste Firefox at villagevoice.

  12. They should keep the brand on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They should keep the brand Mozilla, by maybe offering a package of Thunderbird, Firefox, and friends, and calling that Mozilla (Suite?). It's not going to be as integrated, but at least they're not losing the brand name (for which so many people have fought for a long time).

  13. Re:Linus is probably biased about Mach though.... on Torvalds Switches to a Mac · · Score: 1

    One would expect Tanenbaum to grade as he thought. He thought linux would earn an F, that's what he would have given. Nothing contrary to what's exprected or intended.

  15. Gmail beta forever on Google Weather Service And GMail Improvements · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When is Google going to "release" Gmail to the public? I know that for all intents and purposes anyone that wants to can get an account, but I won't consider it open until I see a link on their homepage. It's not like they couldn't have a beta and a released Gmail.

    On an aside, I have a feeling that they will have to redesign their homepage soon as it's starting to get crowded.

  16. Re:BSOD on Microsoft Robots to Watch Kids · · Score: 1

    I used to see it on a semi-frequent basis when burning a CD using Nero. I even have a collection of about 10-15 such BSODs, of STOP 0xC2, 0x50, and 0x0A type. It was one of the reasons for switching to Linux and K3b as I was tired of wasting an entire spindle on WinXP.

  17. Could be useful on Google Calendar Coming Soon? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It'd be nice if they really integrated it into gmail. Yahoo already has such a feature, and it's not horrible, but I'm sure gCal could be much better.

  18. Where's the update? on New Vulnerabilities Discovered in Firefox 1.0 · · Score: 1, Redundant

    What's the use of having an update feature if you never enable it or get it in a working state? I have never been able to update firefox through the built-in feature.

    They upped the number of localized versions.

  21. Re:Something stinks here... on Google Donating Bandwidth and Servers to Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    What did Yahoo get out of the deal they made a while back? Ever think that maybe the content on Wikipedia could be worthwhile? You can't have the content if the servers aren't up.

  22. Re:It's just a throw away for them on Walmart Expands Low-End Linux Notebook Offerings · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What happened to the "people use windows because it came with their computer" rationale for Windows' dominance in the desktop OS market?
