  1. Re:Religion on Pope Urges Priests To Go Forth and Blog · · Score: 1

    Then, evidence that priests, and to an extent, bishops, are human, and have failings, and sin (sometimes, criminally), somehow changed your belief

    You might come to realize that the people who are filling your head with this crap, don't believe it themselves.

  2. Re:But.. but... think of the children! on Bono Hopes Content Tracking Will Help Media Moguls · · Score: 4, Funny

    As far as musicians go, Bono is absolutely great at feeding starving children. Next time you suggest I should pay money for a U2 album just so Bono can keep doing that, think of my foot kicking you in the nuts.

  3. Re:Nautilus following KDE's Dolphin? on Gnome Switches Nautilus Back To Browser Mode · · Score: 1

    That's what the columns view does.

    No, that's something else that seems to be broken. Folders that expand in place are very handy. See the little expansion widget?

  4. Re:Nautilus following KDE's Dolphin? on Gnome Switches Nautilus Back To Browser Mode · · Score: 1

    Maybe some day Dolphin will have inline expandable folders.. I've never seen or used Dolphin until I saw this thread. That's the first thing I notice is missing. I don't know why the places panel is even there, I've always switched it to "Tree" so it becomes useful.

    It seems very silly to play the who copied who game in the open source world though don't you think? Isn't that the point of the thing?

  5. Re:Nautilus following KDE's Dolphin? on Gnome Switches Nautilus Back To Browser Mode · · Score: 1

    It also looks a lot like the way Nautilus looked 6 years ago.. And how Windows Explorer looks, and looked then.

  6. Re:Nautilus following KDE's Dolphin? on Gnome Switches Nautilus Back To Browser Mode · · Score: 1

    A dolphin clone? By reverting to a behavior that Nautilus had before Dolphin even existed? How's that work exactly?

    They're all clones of Midnight Commander if you want to play that game.

  7. Re:Communism on Cuba Jails US Worker Handing Out Laptops, Cellphones · · Score: 1

    In ANY democratic country an agent of a foreign power financing political groups would be declared persona non grata and kicked out.

    And sometimes they don't kick them out because they were never there. They bring them there to be punished for something that wasn't even a crime where they were.

  8. Re:Online things, and from non-us point of view on Record-Breaking Black Friday For eBay's PayPal · · Score: 1

    I'm in Canada and, as such, we don't have Black Friday either

    Sure we do, it's called boxing day.

  9. Re:upnp on MythTV 0.22 Released · · Score: 1

    how in the HELL do I set /. to show me all the posts in a thread? They keep changing the frigging code on the site and no matter how many places I go to and set a preference to see everything IT DOESN'T WORK!

    I find about half of the time I can't get to any other page of the comments too. I see the first 50 comments, and when I click on the "2" to see the next 50, it says I'm on page 2, but I see the same comments.

    Poor broken Slashdot...

  10. Re:no. it does not. on Home Phone System That Syncs To Computer? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ok, I'll bite. Does this seem like a business opportunity to anyone?

    Anyone who is worried about this kind of thing should already have an asterisk server which could do this for all phones, not just the cordless ones. And yes, its a huge business opportunity.

  11. Re:Yup. on Google Voice Now Works WIth Existing Mobile Numbers · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    God no... Not even in the post-GWB years. But we still resent you for besmirching the name.

  12. Re:Hulu? on Stargate Universe · · Score: 1

    No, they can't trademark the word "SciFi" since it's a common term

    Yeah, that would be rediculous. That would be like a trademark on windows.

  13. Re:Mafia Wars? on Burglar Logs Into Facebook On Victim's Computer · · Score: 1

    Yay Farmville.. Original Sim City with vegetables, and without the excitement.

  14. Re:Congrats on Start-up Claims SSD Achieves 180,000 IOPS · · Score: 1

    I can claim that I have confirmed it if you like.

    Who do you think you are, Netcraft?

  15. Re:That has NEVER been the goal on Con Kolivas Returns, With a Desktop-Oriented Linux Scheduler · · Score: 1

    If they really wanted maintainability they would have changed to microkernel architecture years ago.

    Obviously.. That's why Hurd is so successful.

  16. Re:Appears to coincide.. on Null-Prefix SSL Attacks Enabled In New sslsniff · · Score: 1

    And stunnel which makes non-SSL apps into SSL capable apps.

  17. Re:World Opinion on Five Technologies Iran Is Using To Censor the Net · · Score: 1

    Did Iran take lessons from Bush or something?

    No, that was Reagan, and Ollie North.

  18. Re:double bubble, toil and trouble on WebKit For Metacity/Mutter CSS Theming? · · Score: 1

    a lot of vocal people whinge about how removing IE doesn't remove Trident ... Either integrating the HTML engine with the window manager is bad (Trident/Windows) or it's good (WebKit/Mutter). It's not both at the same time because you want to be an individual and hate Microsoft, just like everyone else does.

    Right, and as individuals we all voted years ago speak as one unified voice which never contradicts itself. I apologize on behalf of the FOSS collective. Your suggestions will be assimilateda dnd addressed at next years conference.

  19. Re:Hell called on Microsoft Releases Linux Device Drivers As GPL · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have never virtualized Linux within Windows and never intend to, but I routinely virtualize WinXP on my Gentoo laptop

    coLinux seems to work well for when I do. My wife insists on booting her PC into Windows due to some stupid bug with Flash not showing some stupid menu in some stupid Facebook game. I've used coLinux on there so that computer isn't a completely useless box while being a Facebook terminal.

    Not that I'm bitter or anything. (I'm looking at you Adobe)

  20. Re:Ah yes, another breakthrough from MISPWOSO on Study Finds Delinquent Behavior Among Boys Is "Contagious" · · Score: 1

    When I was in school, I used to hang around with the "bad" kids. The ones who got caught and put through the juvenile justice system basically got taken out of real school and put in crime-school. This is what happens when you take a rebellious suburban kid and put him in a building full of gang members who can teach him everything he needs to know to become a full time low life.

    Those of us who did the same things, but never got caught and punished mostly seem to have moved on to earning an honest living and establishing a family.

    Big Buck Bunny looks pretty good too.

    Who is going to go make a big-budget film when they can't make any money out of it?

    I'm glad to see people have moved on to saying that about the movie industry instead of the software industry these days.

  23. Re:First Vote on Pirate Party Coming To Canada · · Score: 1

    Good luck seeing anything that simultaneously has good acting, good visual/audio effects, and a good story when none of the people working on it are being paid to do so.

    So you're saying nothing will change?

  24. Re:House, MD on FDA Considers Banning Acetaminophen-Based Pain Killers · · Score: 1

    I'm tired of not being able to get a decent decongestent because of some stupid war on drugs, and now the ONLY thing that works on my headaches might be banned? Fucking enough already.

    Makes about as much sense as banning Marijuana though nobody has ever died directly from it. It would make much more sense to ban Tylenol with Acetaminophen than to continue with prohibition of Marijuana.

  25. Re:Ummm on Could We Beam Broadband Internet Into Iran? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It was in reference to criticism that the US government wasn't doing enough to help or encourage the protesters overturn the election and/or government.

    I wonder how those people would feel if some other nation decided to start beaming kiddie porn into the U.S. to combat that repressive regime.

    Let Iranians sort out what is best for Iran for crying out loud.
