  1. Perhaps video game publishers should put on Kids Kill, Victim Sues Game Maker · · Score: 1

    Surgeon General labels on their games. According to the Surgeon General, impact of media violence is very, very small. So small it doesn't really have an impact. Reasearchers in other countries conclude the same thing. See here

  2. Rebranding Image??? on More Criticism of SCO's Claims To UNIX · · Score: 1, Funny

    I guess they've succeeded because now I see them as this

  3. Re:tell me about it on Microsoft Longhorn Delayed · · Score: 1

    They wouldn't need to make a service pack, because the up2date program works very nicely. It keeps a list of what programs you have installed. It auto-checks for updates. And it downloads the patches that are needed. No user input is really needed except to click next and to click which programs you want and don't want updated.

  4. Re:Speed up Wine development? Are you sure? on New Competition For CodeWeavers: Aclerex · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually what happened was, was Wine went to the GPL, Transgaming got pissed because it would screw up their buissness model, they got a bunch of OSS developers, who forked Wine and called it Rewind.

  5. Don't you people see the real reason for this on U.S. Funds Anonymizer for Iranians · · Score: 1

    It in a way might actually be saving your life. I'm sure in Iran the only websites they are able to look at are Anti-American. This tries to help stop that.

  6. Re:If you have to ask on How to Develop Securely · · Score: 1

    According to one of my Linux Admin books, if you break into systems, your a cracker, however to the media, as stupid as it is, though they like to think their so smart with technology, have screwed with the meaning of hacker.

  7. Re:Hitting a moving target on Is Linux as Secure as We'd Like to Think? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Using DHCP does. I'm sure some noob Linux OS like Lycoris or Lindows does, too. I think in Red Hat all you have do is click Use DHCP.

  8. Re:Open It Up on Cleaning Your Mice Wheels? · · Score: 1

    That's how I do it. Usually it's just a build up of dirt from your fingers, and I believe most if not all mouse wheels are non-stick. You'll get that new mouse feel out of the mouse too once you do that.

  9. Hmm so that's why on DVD Playback Issues On Consoles Enumerated · · Score: 1

    in the Rush press release for Rush in Rio, it said it's PS2 Comapatible, which means they actually are doing to testing to make sure the DVD will work in a PS2.

  11. Re:Hunting on Worst Linux Annoyances? · · Score: 1

    Excuse me but I hate to burst your bubble, but Debian is not a modern distro, its default stable installation uses the 2.2 kernel. They also take way too long to come out with a new install cd. Since my hardware is not all supported under the 2.2 or even 2.4.18, I would have to download the kernel source for 2.4.21, to get functionality of my hardware. I tried to install GAim once everything was up, well I couldn't because of library conflicts, and GAim needed both.

  12. My biggest annoyance on Worst Linux Annoyances? · · Score: 1

    is complete consistency across all Linux OSs. It not about the GUI, or the Installler, but the file locations, can't we put them all in the same place.

  13. Re:To all 1.4_rcx users on Gentoo 1.4 Final Released · · Score: 1

    Make sure you do a emerge modutils. compile the kernel with the command make;make modules_install(I'm not sure if you still need the modules_install), and make a dir called /sysfs That's about it. Also there is no bootsplash for 2.6 kernels if you want to have that.

  14. Re:Just the start on Photoshop in Linux Thanks to Disney · · Score: 1

    Because there are people that would pay $500 for photoshop, maybe not this current version but if they offered the next version for Linux, I'm sure there would be people who would buy it. They could even do a upgrade I'm sure.

  15. Re:I'm from the Show-Me State, prove it. on The Effect of Pirated CDs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A) I wouldn't believe the RIAAs number for a second. When you think about it, they always going to lie about numbers to make it seem like woe is me, so they can press for new laws and taxes that benifit only them.

    B) If pirated CDs are to blame, why aren't there FBI raiding Chinatown's over the U.S. everyday?

  19. For me Gentoo is the only one that really worked on Measuring The Benefits Of The Gentoo Approach · · Score: 1

    I switch to Gentoo, once my main machine was up and running again. I use to be a Red Hat user, that was fine up until Bluecurve. Then I was a SuSE user, great except for YaST2, granted its a fine program, but using it to install a system over the internet like that its stupid. It's slow and it takes way too long. I don't know why SuSE just doesn't offer ISOs. Then I was a Mandrake user, Mandrake is a the slowest of all the distros I've tried. I went to Debian. It's like Gentoo with regards to package installation, but I tried to install GAim, I need libspell4 or whatever it was, so I tried to install that, it conflicted with something else, so I uninstalled the conflicting library, guess what GAim depended on them both, and there was no way I was going to sit there and figure it out, it was too much a waste of time. Then came Gentoo. Yes, it wasn't as smooth as installing other distros and I didn't get it right each time. I saw GLIS(Gentoo Linux Install Script), and tried it out, it worked except I had to fix the Grub configuration. Then I decided to do another install on the same machine weeks later. The install went even smoother, and I did not use GLIS. I figured I'd go back to Debian, and give it another shot, because its like Gentoo but without the compile times, didn't like it. Gentoo is my one and only distro. If I need help, there is a forum and there are plenty of people to help me. This isn't a troll or a flame, its just my opinion and my experiance.

  20. I don't mind compiling times on Measuring The Benefits Of The Gentoo Approach · · Score: 1

    Since I do my compiling while at work and during when I sleep. I also use distcc. I also like how there is no dependency hell, and I know whats in my Gentoo system, with no programs I don't use.

  21. Rush is always involved in Mixing on Is Louder Better? · · Score: 1

    They always are involved in the mixing of there CDs. The artist in this case isn't left with little choice. However, Universal/Mercurey does not ask them for there opinion, probably because it's not their label anymore. They've been releasing the same stuff over and over again. BTW, RUSH was awsome on Tuesday.

  22. This may seem hard to believe....but on Inside the Abducted Engine · · Score: 1

    I've been talking to one of the devs of this engine for a year just about, and he showed me the shots of couple of days ago. From what I saw you only had a couple of FPS, still largely unoptimized. It runs like DOOM 3 at this point. He told me what was to be added to the engine, but I've forgotten most of it.

  23. How many people actually buy things through... on Telemarketers Sue Over "Do Not Call" List · · Score: 1

    ...telemarketing? How much buissness would they actually loose. Two million jobs, yeah maybe if these people got educations they wouldn't have a telemarketing job in the first place. If the list gets shot down, well I guess I'll have to go back abusing the telemarketer, and leaving the phone off the hook so they can't hang-up(some systems let you do this) and waste the telemarketing companies money.

  24. The probably won't happen for awhile on Microbes for Bioremediation · · Score: 4, Informative

    They have GE Bacteria that will eat oil, to be used in oil spills. These however are not being used outside of labs, because of the consern of "What will happen when the the oil is gone? What are they going to do? Die, or find something else?" So I would think the same with will happen.
