  1. Re:Not just any Blizzard developer on O'Reilly Showcases PS2 Linux Gear · · Score: 1

    You've explained what SDL is - but what's Loki?

  2. Re:So . . on Apple Cuts Off Under-18 Darwin Developer · · Score: 1

    I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books - so that's probably why I don't know.

  3. but is it... on O'Reilly Showcases PS2 Linux Gear · · Score: 1

    going to be any easier to code for the Linux platform than the other consoles?

  4. Re:So . . on Apple Cuts Off Under-18 Darwin Developer · · Score: 1

    Thanks - thought it was a LoTr reference - and then I thought there weren't house-elves in that at all!

  5. Re:Shakespere was right... on Apple Cuts Off Under-18 Darwin Developer · · Score: 1

    And that happened to be the one BTTF film where there was total anarchy!

  6. if it gets... on Gemini Observatory Probes Galaxy NGC 1068 Churning Core · · Score: 2, Insightful

    more people interested in astronomy it's worth it.

  7. Re:So . . on Apple Cuts Off Under-18 Darwin Developer · · Score: 1

    Where's it say in law you can't sign a contract if you're under 18 then?

  8. Re:What is the point of tectimony like this? on Red Hat CTO Testifies at MS trial · · Score: 1

    It seems to be that everyone with an axe to grind against Microsoft (justified or not) wants to get their two cents in before they lose their chance.

  9. Re:Auction off an Office [source?] License? on Red Hat CTO Testifies at MS trial · · Score: 1

    Doesn't this proposal just date back to the point where they wanted to split Microsoft into different companies - one of which would be for MS Office software?

  10. Re:I hope they'r more impressive in person (OT a b on Red Hat CTO Testifies at MS trial · · Score: 1

    " but if I was a RH shareholder, I would have been very nervous after watching that interview." - why would you be nervous? From what you've said it was just one exec who was unimpressive in his answers - he may just have been being realistic - and you're right a lot of eyes are on RH now - but you need people who like their job to make a company succeed - it sounds like this exec didn't - hopefully he's the only one.

  11. Re:What does rh have to do with this, really? on Red Hat CTO Testifies at MS trial · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes - that may be true - but they have done things since RH Linux was started that affected them. Part of this trial is about stopping them from further illegal actions too - they need to know what the things they've done were first - before they can implement measures to stop them doing them again in the future.

  12. Linux testimony on Red Hat CTO Testifies at MS trial · · Score: 1

    I thought most people knew about this already - so what's so earth shattering about it?

  13. Re:This is not a review. on Sizing Up StarOffice 6.0 · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't Timothy post an actual review on slashdot rather than just about installing it?

  14. Re:StarOffice 6.0 *is* available... on Sizing Up StarOffice 6.0 · · Score: 1

    Haven't we gone through all this in a slashdot story yesterday about Mandrake Linux?

  15. Re:Not the first $600K NASA dumped down this ratho on NASA Still Trying to Verify Anti-Gravity Claims · · Score: 1

    I might put out that there's a very easy way to lose weight (not mass) - just go down in a lift - losing mass as far as I know is impossible (short of radiation).

  16. Re:one reason... on Apple Wants Your Input · · Score: 1

    "Even without crashes and with the command line, it's still harder to use" - I thought the whole philosophy behind Macs is that they were easier than PCs to use - not the other way round!

  17. Re:It would be cool if Compaq had such a team... on Designing Good Linux Applications · · Score: 1

    Sighs at all the humour and goes to use his Super Low Obsolete Wave PC instead.

  18. Re:Screenplay adaptation?! & imagination on LoTR Takes 4 Oscars · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I don't go to see films of books I've read - I find they always make it a different way to the way I imagined it. The imagination of your mind is far more powerful than Hollywood's special effects any day.

  19. Re:"Interland" does this as well on Verisign Sending Deceptive Domain Renewal Mail? · · Score: 1

    I suppose as the market for registering new domains slows down, companies have to resort to measures like this to keep going.

  20. 3G networks on (Almost) I-mode Service Coming in April · · Score: 1

    I thought they'd already got a 3G network up and running on the Isle of Man - or was that project already scrapped?

  21. Re:This can only work for some games on Platform Independent Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Isn't this just a cynical software developers dream of being able to write something that'll work on every platform without having to write any more code? Won't people's version of Java vary from machine to machine as well?

  22. but will they port it to the Amiga... on Platform Independent Gaming? · · Score: 1

    one of my favourite platforms - but sadly programmed for very little these days.

  23. if it's true.. on Platform Independent Gaming? · · Score: 1

    I'm amazed - if it isn't well I'll just add to the list of nice sounding things that didn't work out in the end.

  24. Re:We make a secure Operating System on Most Outrageous Vendor Lie Ever Told? · · Score: 1

    Oh they're not bugs in our products - they're just user input errors. Yeah it's a bug - but if you buy the new version for £25 you can actually print!
