  1. Office on SuSE 7.3 vs XP · · Score: 1

    You may not have noticed their office mascot... to be fair tho, it is smarter than some of the other things they thought of...

    Best shown on this Flash5 app...

  2. correction on SuSE 7.3 vs XP · · Score: 1

    You mean Vi-Emacs-off

    You also cant get any kind of decent flame with a pitchfork or rotten vegetables, well maybe in the "Best manure" wars [cow or horse] and the whole "Not in summertime laddy" argument, tho it does provide good use of the more traditional "You stink" style trolling.

    What was I talking about again?

  3. Overpopulation? on Lab Develops Artificial Womb · · Score: 1

    Send them out to mine for valuable materials aboard massive computer regulated ships.
    I suggest we call them 'Megazones'.

    Better yet... Unreal Tournament.
    You know what i am talking about.

    All incoming mail has been ignored; lameness filter finally woke up.

  4. Re:Who cares? Language wars are over on What Makes a Powerful Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    Lisp... all too true... pity, it was the first language i learnt.

  5. Browser wars on Read the Fine Print · · Score: 1
    "Microsoft may automatically check the version of the Product and/or its components that you are utilizing and may provide upgrades or fixes to the Product that will be automatically downloaded to your Workstation Computer."
    Now it can install IE6.0 as your default browser without telling you.

    "Funny, I dont remember installing this Mozilla skin... Guess they ran out of other things to make..."
  6. Bah on World's Longest Slinky · · Score: 3, Funny
    "34 Slinkies soldered together. They are zinc-plated spring steel, and are very easy to solder. There is actually about 33 and a half of them."
    How much for 35 slinkies?
    My website could do with some slash-throughput
  7. Most Secure OS on Run Your Firewall Halted for Extra Security · · Score: 1

    You seem to be ignoring the security you get wiuth Connectiva

    [http://securityfocus.com/vulns/stats.shtml]

  8. Sometimes on WinInformant Says Windows More Secure Than Linux · · Score: 1

    Sometimes i wonder if they just make up numbers like this to get slashdotted and get some throughput...

    I recall a popup somewhere there on that page...

  9. Not quite the way i remember it.... on The Napsterization of TV · · Score: 1

    As far as i can tell Napster boosted sales of a lot of bands and promoted people to buy the albums, obscure bands really got a boost from napster as people often werent willing to go out on a limb to buy music they hadnt heard at any length. I know i bought 2 more albums because of my Peer to Peer experiences.

    Anyway Peer to peer is hardly dead, KaZaA has almost 500,000 people using it at any one time or so says my younger bro...

  10. Clearly. on WinInformant Says Windows More Secure Than Linux · · Score: 1

    Clearly windows is better defended against linux specific virii.

    But really, for security, its CP/M! dear god is that brilliant.

    Microsoft are catching up with the world though, they are only 9 years behind apple now, and about 20 years behind UNIX systems. Fantastic.

    Flamebait is served best liquered up.

  11. Fine then i'm patenting time. on Should DNA be Patentable? · · Score: 1

    Copyright??!! just by living i believe im copying so much of their DNA every second. It would be horrible to be born with a $500 copyright infringement fee on top of your head. viral RNA on the other hand... i dont see why they cant patent that... see how much cash they can twist out of virii and the like. So they want to patent something they didnt invent... certainly a turn up for the books... rivalling the patenting of the word millennium. Individual patenting of genes may be acceptable if they are used in non-human context - i.e. fatter pigs and whatnot. Hey ma... i invented a new end restrictase! "sorry dear, but theyve patented Guanine... does it have any of that in there?" Only a 1/4 of it or so... Stay away from free software... unless you know of a way to get back your free time.
