  1. Re:So let's try to fix it on Munich Struggling with Linux Transition? · · Score: 1

    I can vouch for that! I've never had much experience with photoshop, which made learning gimp easier than for most people. And now when I try to do something in photoshop it's pretty anoying expecting a certain behavior and not getting it.

  2. Nope! on Munich Struggling with Linux Transition? · · Score: 1

    Somehow I doubt it's useability that's thier problem. Actually from what I've heard most of thier problem is that they overestimated the capabilities of WINE, and have trouble getting some special programs to run which they can't right away leave. So please tell me where you got the information that it was a useability problem? Or were you just guessing, and acting like you had a clue, and stating the predictable old cliches that are sure to get the usual microsoft zealot upmods.

    I could say the same thing about your post with regards to the microsofties. The predictable "this one is an intelligent troll against those linux communists, mod it up!" Really, I don't get why people who hate linux even come to slashdot, trolling is the most retarded idea of fun I've ever heard of.

    What about if you knew the police officer previously and he threatened to kill you, or "get" you some day, and there is also no cause for his coming to arrest you?

    Your paraphrasing just as he is! When complaining that someone isn't using the exact quote, you damn well better provide the exact quote instead of saying "something along the lines"... . The hyprocracy of your post is almost poetic.

    Your best bet is to get over it, it happens

    How is that your best bet? If you just accept it things will never change. I for one cannot accept injustice, and stop and nothing to correct situations, even if it takes years, or a lifetime. Everytime you swallow something like this, a little piece of your soul dies.

  10. Re:Why aren't there arrests? on RIAA Countersued Under Racketeering Laws · · Score: 1

    Corporations were a STUPID idea, and if it weren't for the fact that only the very rich actually had a voice back when they invented, they probably wouldn't have been. If somebody wants to make money, and get a large business, I have no problems with that, it's simple freedom. But corporations are about getting rid of liability, thus by thier very nature they are designed to be able to get away with stuff normal people can't.

  14. Re:Why are Athletic Orginizations so concerned? on Gene Therapy Creates Strong Super-Rats · · Score: 1

    Or maybe these people CHOOSE to have alot of children for reasons of genetic success, rather than going for material success and little reproductive success? These poor people have just done what ALL living things try to do, adapt to thier current environment for best breeding success. Material wealth is tempation, if you have less/no kids you have more money, but you threaten you genetic immortality. What you speak of is the UNATURAL thing. Conversely, the elite classes are weakening thier genetics, they are becomming increasingly high maintenance beings, and will eventually have a very high death from lack of adaptability.

    Anyone who has ever read Dune knows that difficult living conditions eventually harden and strengthen the genes. Also, the racist people who think they are exterminating the people in the middle east are only making them stronger, and those africans starving and dying of aids will eventually be much better than you.

    And don't forget the french revolution, the elites are only allowed to rule over the many as long as they don't get superior success at reproduction, cause if they did, the masses would quickly adapt, out of need, and chop you all down to be replaced(czarist russia to communist).

  15. Re:How long before this gets into the food chain? on Gene Therapy Creates Strong Super-Rats · · Score: 1

    Obesity increases your risks of getting diabetes much more than high protein diets. So if you can lose the fat, then its a good trade off, but If your still obese and eat a tonne of protein you get a double whammy.

    Actually meat doesn't cause obesity. Cheap sugars, grains and oils do.

    IBM should make some g5 PPC systems aimed specifically at linux. If they're cheap enough I'd buy one.

    I buy nearly every game that comes out for linux. There really isn't any software missing for me from the freely available collection that I would need, other than games.

  21. Re:tangent: sorry, but I have to respond to this on Delays Hurt Video Game Business · · Score: 1

    I agree that the way they finalized things worked out VERY well, but if a very obscure action that 5% of users could discoved could revive aeris, it would have been nice. That scene in FF7 envoked perhaps the strongest emotions I've had for ANY game, and a "solution" would be an awesome trick.

  22. Isn't that what patches are for? on Delays Hurt Video Game Business · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If they release a game *late* that still requires patches, isn't that a double whammy? As an aside, what is the most important missing feature caused by not enough devel time? For me it would be in FF7 when they whad planned to be able to revive Aris(sp?) but canned that idea because of time constraints.

    I'm surprised Mandrake lets normal users do this operation. If he did this as root, then he deserves breakage, only use root if you know what your doing, you'd breakage get on XP if you were to rename a windows system folder or file, or mess around blindly in the registry.
