  1. Re:An ever worse word... on Isn't It Ironic? · · Score: 1

    totally :)

  2. I need some support on Linux Usage in the UK · · Score: 1

    Nevermind commercial support, can I pay for some?

  3. Irony the religion, believe. on Isn't It Ironic? · · Score: 1

    I hereby patent Irony as my invented religon.

    It's everywhere so much it's overpowering, and in this we take heart.

  4. works using? on Random Movement Printing Technology · · Score: 1

    - with any old ink? or locked down i wonder?

    - uses camera similar to ball-less mice?

  5. horay on Microsoft Pulls Plug for Support on NT4 · · Score: 1

    Now admin'll install linux! ...or upgrade thier hardware :(

  6. Re:looters ? on Hall On Worldwide Open Source Movement · · Score: 1

    technically GPL isn't completely open, nor is BSD or anything with a license, but hey, there you go

  7. a mpeg would be nice, how much did it cost? on Flight Simulator 2002 With 13 Monitors And 9 PCs · · Score: 1

    isn't a real glider cheaper ;)

    well, perhaps the winch / toe plane isn't

  8. Surely against trade descriptions act? (uk) on USB 1.1 Renumbered To USB 2? · · Score: 1

    It does mislead. There isn't any usb1.1 devices are there?

  9. database fs for linux on Tom's Hardware Looks At WinFS · · Score: 1

    "using a relational database to keep track of files"

    I don't believe it, I've been hoping for this recently.

    Could it be plausable with specialised hardware, such as the database itself stored seporately and keep tracked data seporate?

    I'd really like to be able to search quicker, a linux database fs for just a few files on a seporate harddrive anyone? I can't run updatedb constantly, but if it was incremental that would be interesting.

  10. Building a clone with linux as a x86 alternative on iBox Episode 2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'd quite fancy something non x86 for a bit of fun.

    But is building a clone mac too expensive? Being able to run osX would be nice.

    What's the alternative if I forgo osX and accept using Gentoo exclusively?

  11. monopolies definately bad for economy? on iBox Episode 2 · · Score: 1

    Can someone please help me test my assumption that anti-competitive practices and monopolies is bad for economy.

    At the moment I feel anti-competition etc should be curbed to favour the smaller companies, that competition should be encouraged to benefit the whole. Overly Marxist?

  12. what it took for me to suffer RSI on Computers and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Studied · · Score: 1

    Production line job, 9 hours a day.

    After work I used to play guitar until it started hurting.

    So I played Counter-Strike for a bit. Not as painful as guitar, which was better.

    If you're coding 15 hours a day I still doubt that it would be enough to get the extreme symtoms that all these reports and warning stickers on keyboards talk of.

    Your whist and hands may ache like hell but it's nothing compared with random shoot pain up your arm when driving.

    Now your back ...now that's a different matter.

  13. No problem, but the money gained must come back on Games Tax To Fund Obesity Prevention? · · Score: 1

    Whenever these `we'll tax this to discourage it` stories come out there's never the other side of the revenue flow covered.

    If the exact amount of money gained from the tax is spent in a single, easily identifiable, positive way, such as PUTTING GYMS UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT, for being waaaay too expesive, you may get some support.

  14. Is capping necessary at all? on The Australian Broadband Disaster · · Score: 1

    Can't they CBQ limit dynamically according to what's available?

    And why can't we buy per k/bit, with it limited to bands?

    Too awkward? Too liberal I expect.

  15. Re:Can someone please explain to me..? on Matrix Gets Egyptian Ban For Explicit Religion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    me too, well a bit anyway.

    I don't really enojoy action. The thing I came for was the storyline.

    Now, the storyline was good but there wasn't much of it in this one. Where were the suprises and tragedys? It was nearly constant action.

    It feels like they've tried to draw out 2 films into 3.

    Having said all this there was one scene that made all the shallowness and pretentiousness ok, much like Yoda fighting in the last Starwars.

    It's a lot more enjoyable if you think you can read into it, but there's actually not a lot of depth in the end - God, Judas, the Devil, blah blah

    Hopefully I'll find something new though, and the next Matrix COULD be better. At least this film has lowered a few expectations for the next.

  16. less bad games? on Concern Over Dropping Japanese Console Sales · · Score: 1

    does this mean we'll be left with only the good games designers?

  18. temporary numbers available? on Declaring War on Mobile Phone Spam · · Score: 1

    I've never had any mobile spam.

    But more and more sources are asking for my mobile number.

    Sure I can resist giving it out via TV voting but at some point I'm going to make a mistake, and once it's out that's it, so ->

    perhaps there is a way I can give out a temporary number, similar to temporary email services?

  19. how do Iget started with this thing? on A Blog With Unlimited Bandwidth (Beta 1.2) · · Score: 1

    At present don't know anyone else using konspire, well, enough for recommendations.

    So how do I get started with this thing?

  20. Re:I would rather see it coded well on Port Mozilla, Collect $3696 · · Score: 1

    but they have NOTHING right now.

    let's just pause to imagine that right now...

    ah.

  21. I'm afraid you may have to continue the fight on Executing a Mass Departmental Exodus in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    The relationship between employer and employee is harmonious:-

    they push,
    you resist.

  22. Re:Buses... on Motorola to Have Rapid I/O in All Future Processors · · Score: 1

    I was hoping to get away from the distractions of gaming by using linux too :p

  23. what Portage roughly is on Gentoo's Portage to be Ported to Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    similar to BSD ports.

    portage usually goes under /usr/portage

    you can update that dir with `emerge sync` or get a snapshot.

    inside /usr/portage is a myiad to .build files. These are python scripts that:

    - download the binary or source for a package
    - build it
    - install it

    Basically portage is a dependancy and package manager and automates ./configure - make - makeinstall and similar steps.

    It's very hands on to fiddle with /usr/portage too - can make own scripts fairly quickly.

    NB: portage does binary packages as well as source packages

  24. could OSS help in some way? on RealPC For Mac Delayed By MS Cease And Desist · · Score: 1

    I also exepct it to be a trademark issue. Can anyone think of a way to communicate the idea of emulating Windows specifically?
    How's about:

    `SoftWinbloze - come to the dark side` or something?

    Could a company use OSS projects such as bochs somehow to thier advantage? Is there a LGPL alternative?

    Could a company be justifiable as supporting the code but making money from something else other than writing it, such as commercial support, additional features and a guarentee that specific programs will run.

    If a project such as bochs had limits on the features it is expected to include a company can step in and add those features. Un/fortunately most of the time projects are free to out compete commercial projects. While this is a good thing it puts off proprietory dev's because they expect it to happen.
