  1. Of course you must pay on Microsoft May Charge for Security Tools · · Score: 1

    Do you think money grows on Gates' back?

  2. Good marketing on Microsoft May Charge for Security Tools · · Score: 1

    They have done well in promoting the need for their security-software.

    Is it possible for a company or community to build a counterpart?

  3. Re:They're improving the file dialogs... on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Good point. But you come up with the problems, please come up with suggestions.

    The margins, I believe, are a matter of themeing. The lower buttons are distinguised easillier by the bigger margin, but this too is adjustable.

    The only wasted empty space is on the left of the lower buttons, which's surface depends on the window-size. As the window-size gets greater that space is not much of an issue. Any other use of that space looks unnatural.

  4. Re:GTK? on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    That not-nihilist person, with his exploring character, is smart enough to click on the gtk.org link then, doesn't he?

    Just think man.

  5. Re:GTK? on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    That information the few people want to know is one click away. So if one is not a user already, nor a nihilist like the anonymous coward posting under you describes, which combined applies to (say) 2% of the slashdot readers, than that information is provided in one obvious click.

    yes, it's always a matter of weighting one thing to another.

  6. Re:Ahh. on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, could they make gnome ask for your permission to launch a program that uses QT libraries?

    That could be a really good mem-saver for users with limited experience.

  7. And then the obvious question rises... on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Where do I have to click to install this?

    *ducks for cover*

  8. Re:GTK? on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    To attrack potential users you say? What a nonsense...

    People should first know what linux (or other OS that is supported) is and then what gnome (or other manager) is before they remotely have to know what GTK is! And by that time they are already users!

  9. Re:GTK != Grand Theft Potassium on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    Grand Theft KDE?

  10. Re:They're improving the file dialogs... on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    What are your suggestions on the file-chooser?

    Speak out and help the community.

  11. Re:A lot of stuff in Gtk is replacing Gnome widget on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    For using it without gnome libraries.

  12. Re: GTK 2.6.0 = Mac OS 1994 on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    When will propertary software emerge from the dark ages of today and match the brilliant portability of linux? My guess is never.

  13. Re:Obligitory on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 0

    Yes... but does it run Linux?

  14. Re:GTK? on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    When you don't know what GTK is, you have little interest in knowing that there is a new version.

    Why waste headline-space for explaining?

    But still... I see a link to gtk.org. What's the big problem?

  15. Re:Mirror Link on Automatic Christmas Music · · Score: 1

    Your server 's a dead motherfucker now. :-)

  16. Re:Seems like a bit much to me. on Automatic Christmas Music · · Score: 1

    If a computer can compose music that I like better than what human artists compose, then I don't see any reason why not to let it do that.

    Plus, I'm sure you heard the latest 'all-famous-singers-unite-to-sing-for-freedom' song a million times?

  17. Hotmail servers on IT Practice Within Microsoft · · Score: 0

    I'm not trying to start a fight here, but what was the thing about the hotmail servers again?

    I heard it ran on some not-windows OS and was mapped through a windows computer so it seems like it ran on windows, or something...

    Could be all bullshit; enlighten me.

  18. Generated warmth on PSP Battery Journal · · Score: 1

    Only the winter edition will be using this much battery-power.

  19. Re:Why Mozilla will fail. on Mozilla Heading to Mobiles · · Score: 1

    You say people use different software to be different.

    You got a twisted and narrow world-perspective boy!

    If you like IE so much then stay with it. What harm do these OSS-people do to you? They do not force you to use their software.

    OSS-programmers use their knowledge and free time to help people compute safely and free all around the world.

    If a billion Mac and Windows users are right, they will soon switch to some alternative browser too. Just like millions before them.

    And remember, what the masses do or vote for is not always the best.

    And worst of all, I'm in the middle of them all (prov. Utrecht).

  23. In other news... on Geminid Meteor Shower · · Score: 1

    President Bush is initiating plans to build a meteor-shower protection shield above China... with modular extension capabilities for later optional purposes.

    Yeah, I remember way back when user #644398 was still to subscribe.

    Good ol' times.
