  1. Re:Well of course on What High End Unix Features are Missing from Linux? · · Score: 1

    Well, the problem with that is, like soundsop said, what if you're a newbie? How *CAN* you put examples in the man entries when you don't know how to use the command?

  2. Re:My benchmark... on 3D Mark 2003 Sparks Controversy · · Score: 1

    I'll have to check what version drivers I have when I get home (at school ATM).

    Do you have any suggestions for locations to download "not 'official'" (as you put it) drivers?

  3. Re:The Bong Show... on IsoNews Ostensibly Shut Down By The DOJ · · Score: 1

    In some states it is illegal to own/sell a bong... its consider drug paraphernalia. In other states it is perfectly legal and there are head shops all over the place.

    And in some states, drug paraphernalia is illegal, but there are still head shops. They don't sell bongs per se, however. The bongs (they are referred to as "water pipes") can also be used to smoke tobacco. That's how they can legally sell them.

  4. My benchmark... on 3D Mark 2003 Sparks Controversy · · Score: 1

    ECS K7S5A
    Athlon XP 2000+ (1.67GHz)
    GeForce 4 Ti4200 64MB DDR (stock clock)
    512MB PC2100 DDR-RAM
    Windows XP Pro

    1206 3DMarks.

    I got 153 when I had a GeForce 2 MX400 and 256MB of DDR-RAM in there.

    Quite an increase!

  5. Teh Gibson's been HAXORED! on Gibson's Digital Guitar Finally Released · · Score: 1

    /.'ed already?

    Damn.

  6. How about.... on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 1

    I mean - my Mac doesn't have room for page up/down or home/end keys, but it devotes a whole key to a sort of double-S shape that I will never press.

    Not to mention that the little bump things are on the K and D keys (for home row)...(Or have they changed this since I last used a Mac?)

  7. Here's for the people that don't know... on E ~ mc^2 · · Score: 1

  9. Re:XBox Live..One Gamers Perspective on Games of the Year · · Score: 1

    "Yes the PS2 had more games, but a great majority of those games were throwaways. Not only that but I wasnt planning on buying a bookshelf worth of games anyway. I usually just buy the best games of a genre and play them through and through. The Xbox seemed like the best choice. It had the better graphics (by far), the HDTV, the 5.1 sound, the hard drive, ethernet, CD burning to HD all built in! The other two did not even come close. I buy a console because of the CONSOLE, not the games."

    Just reading the first and last couple of sentences makes you sound like you're contradicting yourself.

  10. Re:The best game of 2002... on Games of the Year · · Score: 1

    Better yet, wait a year.

    Actually wait five -more- years.

  11. Re:Daikatana! on Vote for 2002's "Best" Vaporware · · Score: 1

    We could only wish it was....

  12. Re:Finally the heretic will BURN on Galileo To Commit Mechacide · · Score: 1

    What, you don't believe in the philosophy that we are the center of our OWN universes, which is our own personal universe?

    For shame.

  13. Really?! on Your Eyes Will Melt Out Of Your Head · · Score: 1

    Your Eyes Will Melt Out Of Your Head

    I hope that doesn't happen to us simultaneously, because I'd like to see that happen to somebody.

  14. Re:FAKE NEWS on Red Hat Nullifies Differences Between Bash, Csh · · Score: 3, Informative

    They have this in their FAQ, too...

    This stuff is fake, right?

    Yes, the "news" articles published here at Humorix are, ahem, all made up. Fake, fake, fake. Don't take anything we say seriously (except for this sentence, of course).

    A few people have actually written in and asked if an article was true or not. While we are flattered that our fabrications were mistaken for actual news, the fact remains: everything here is fake. A few nuggets of truth might be found, but everything else is a figment of our imaginations. If in doubt, just remember this saying: "Fake news is to Humorix as unconfirmed rumors are to Slashdot."

  15. Re:Sun's education-market giveaway on Sun To Sell Linux PCs · · Score: 0

    And you know, I think my old elementary school still has those.

  16. Re:From the article on Fighting Music Piracy with Glue · · Score: 0

    You know, that's what I've been saying for the past three years.

    How many CDs that have been released in the past year have really impressed you?

    Yeah, same here.

  17. Re:Even if it's MY Music? on USC To Students: No Sharing Files · · Score: 0

    You're probably right, but they're most likely at least a -little- worried about the RIAA and the MPAA coming down on them, saying, "Stop your students from sharing copyrighted music and movies at ALL COSTS!"

    I bet the universities that deal with this want to keep at least a little integrity, too.

  18. Re:haha HAHA haha on Linux Worm Spreading, Many Systems Vulnerable · · Score: 0

    It isn't perfect, but it's the most widely used webserver in the world.

    Or, quoting Bill Hicks referring to Billy Ray Cyrus:

    "Jarhead, no-talent cracker asshole."

  20. Re:Red Hat? Hah! on Is Red Hat the Microsoft of Linux? · · Score: 0

    Yeah, too bad they had that installer before Windows XP was even released.

  21. Then AMD comes back... on Pentium 4 2.8Ghz Review · · Score: 0

    ...with the Athlon XP 2700+, with a 333MHz FSB.

    What's going to happen then?

  22. Re:I think you are correct. on Napster Not To Blame · · Score: 0

    You cheap piece of shit, it takes 50 -cents- to manufacture a CD.

    And probably not even that!

  23. Re:Wrongo. on Napster Not To Blame · · Score: 0

    There's a difference between shit music and music that isn't worth purchasing, but worth downloading.

    If I'm going to pay 20 for a damn plastic disc, it better have some good shit on it.

  24. As the old saying goes... on Super Audio CDs Rolling Your Way · · Score: 0

    If you can hear it, you can duplicate it.

  25. Ya know... on Predicting The End Of Digital Copying · · Score: 0

    If it wasn't for the RIAA -forcing- record stores to charge more for CDs, for killing many P2P clients (which were a benefit to the artists, the ones that actually -deserved- the money), and attempting to implement copy-right protection (which, in many cases, have failed horribly), people would buy more CDs.
