  1. Re:or... on Music Downloads = Expensive Concerts? · · Score: 1

    Ian MacKaye? is that you?

  2. unattended.sourceforge.net on Installing Windows with Recent Updates? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For a completely different, Free Software suggestion,
    try unattended at http://unattended.sourceforge.net/ Haven't used this at work but uses a Linux or windows server, a boot disk and you write the Perl scripts. Seems like a neat project, installs programs and does all the rebooting for you.

    The university I work at recieves them from Dell with images, apps included we just do the 3 or so non-critical fixes since the image was sent to Dell.

  3. Hopper on Tim Bray's Top Twenty Software People in the World · · Score: 0

    Couple people mentioned Lady Ada as the only 'token' female, but where is Adm. Grace Hopper? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper Coined the term 'bug', helped develop the idea of programming languages (as a opposed to punchcards), developer of the FIRST compiler and was instrumental in the government's understanding and subsequent funding of early digital computers.

  4. Re:Hmmm, focus group, anyone? on Solaris 10 Released, Updated & Free (Like Speech) · · Score: 0
  5. Re:Limits on LOAF - Distributed Social Networking Over Email · · Score: 0

    perdue? do you mean Purdue? if this is not bullshit (who knows) then you could at least spell the university right!

    Flammed?

  7. Re:Someone please explain to me.. on Pike 7.6 Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    First the 'Native Americans' via landbridge
    then the phoenicians,
    then the vikings,
    then the chinese
    and then Christopher Columbus
    Sorry I don't remember the dates but you should look it up anyways

  8. Re:waste? on Zero Install: The Future of Linux on the Desktop? · · Score: 1, Informative

    Well, yeah and the guy who wrote it admits it too. He says, however that he started working on Zero Install before he had heard of Java Net Start

  9. Re:Deathtrap? on First Hover Flight Test of X-50A Dragonfly · · Score: 0

    If you ignore all the crashes that happened in NC

  10. Re:Not quite on Imagine A UN-Run Internet · · Score: 0

    Not quite, the League of Nations collapsed after the US would not join it. Even though Wilson did write the 14 points it used as its foundation, Senator Lodge got the Senate to vote against it, because the Pres still can't make treaties -only propose them informally. Without the US the other European countries kept up the Old World schtick and the rest you are right about.

  11. What about NetWare? on Novell To Cease NetWare Development? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What will they be doing with the code? Holding onto it or distributing it? If they would release it would anyone want it?

    Maybe a ransom like with blender? The more free code the better.

  12. Torrent please? on Broken Saints Finale Available · · Score: -1, Redundant

    If any one can supply that might be good so as to not kill their servers

  16. Re:MP3 players on Ogg Vorbis Portables On The Way · · Score: 0

    Lay off the crack okay? It's an open format

  17. IPv6 on U.S. Endorses ENUM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So if we can't switch to IPv6 this is supposed to happen? But how are they planning on those two interacting? I imagine that they won't have ENUM for devices or IPv6 for people but won't this make it a little more complicated. You sending the one email but it being routed to eight different devices doesn't necessarily make things easier

  18. Re:True? on Bruce Perens Canned by HP · · Score: 1

    Personal computers. This of course implies the faceless government buying impersonal computers.

  19. This doesn't mean on New GNU Hurd Kernel Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    That RMS will stop bugging everyone about calling it GNU/Linux though

  20. Re:RMS. PeTA. It's all good. on RMS Replies to "The Stallman Factor" · · Score: 1

    Don't support extremism. It's is often ill thought out and irrational. Support activism and vocalization, those are the reason people respect RMS, that he is standing up for what he believes. It is often the extremist that are heard but it doesn't have to be that way.
