    j/k :)

    "and one small note about an undisclosed presumably Japanese company that Microsoft if propping up."

    Nice Engrish

    Nice try. Don't you have a kernel to recompile?

  4. Re:Expensive. on Apple and Linux Beneficial to Each Other? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I could build an x86 box with the same power for 1/4 of the price.

    From another thread...

    Bet you it won't run OS X.

    PS. I'd buy one of those new 20" Apple displays if they came with a standard interface (namely DVI) instead of the proprietary ADC. I still want to see them around *innovating*, but not on their terms and at my expense...

    For 39 bucks from the Apple store you can buy an ADC to DVI adpater. If you're going to spend 2k on a display, you would think you'd do a little research first, eh?

  6. Re:Apple OS X and Linux on Apple and Linux Beneficial to Each Other? · · Score: 1
    I'm waiting for Apple to get a version of Quicktime for Linux.

    You're turning blue, take a breath please.

    Yah, now If only I could run Open BSD on a system with more than _one_ processor. =/

    I'm sure Theo thinks that's an exploit too...

    I vote this thread suX0r. Is that good enough?

  9. Re:alien economy? (+5 Flamebait) on UFO Evidence From SOHO Satellite · · Score: 2, Funny
    mabye the aliens can give me a job...

    A little cliche twist...

    On Klacknar, job finds you!

  12. Re:12 bits on Bringing Back the PDP8 · · Score: 1
    12 bits was a very good size.

    I'm sure most women computer scientists would argue otherwise. :)

    oh wait I can just dust off the snes in the attic!

    Yeah, but that wouldn't be geeky enough for /.

    Actually, they should get twenty Ellen Feiss' up there, watch `em smoke 3 pounds of fat ganja and see if they can type up a paper. Or smoke it. Whatever :)

    "If you want to run Itunes you have to buy a 3,000$ computer."

    That's odd...

    The $300 iMac I bought off eBay plays iTunes. :)

  18. Re:Phew on Evolution Reaches A New Milestone · · Score: 1
    Sound support! You can now have it play a sound on receipt of any incoming mail. Even better, you can use sounds as actions in filters, so you can set it up to not beep at you every 30 seconds when you receive spam or mail list traffic.

    Let me inject some reality here... Nearly every mail client created from 1998 and on has done this very same thing.

    Open source needs to step back and re-examine itself a bit. 4 years ago OSS was on the verge of a revolution, now the open source "movement" has become evolution.

    Why rehash the same tired software? Introduce something NEW (for Microsoft to copy).

    LCD? Isn't that a computer display?

    I can see that exact conversation if my mother migrated to a Unix based system... :)

  21. G3 Beer Keg on Mac Case Mods · · Score: 3, Funny
    Thank god I never thought of turning my computer into a keg when I was in college.

    Imagine if I could've gotten wasted, wasting time chatting and playing games.

    Oh wait, I did. I just had to walk across the room to the fridge.

    Lucky bastards.
