  1. Re:Ballmer's an embarassment, MS should hire al Sa on Ballmer on Windows Server 2003, Linux · · Score: 1

    Well, what they should have done is base their display system on Display Postscript. Then they wouldn't have that little problem! (Display Postscript is an old decrepit trademark of Adobe Systems Inc.)

  2. I don't know, myself. on Ballmer on Windows Server 2003, Linux · · Score: 1

    Could someone please give a list of real, tangible, impactful innovations by both Microsoft and the Open Source community? I'm having trouble listing any by either side, actually.

  3. Try telling that to my 80-year-old grandmother on Pew Internet Project Study on Internet Non-Users · · Score: 1

    She don't need no stinking eBay to sell her antiques!

  4. Re:My ISP's terms are very simple... on Have You Really Read Your ISP's TOS? · · Score: 3, Funny

    You're sure it doesn't say "\/\/3 0\/\/|\|Z04Z j00! \/\/oo+!!!!!!11!1!!"? There's a surprising number of ways to translate that into legalese, you know...

  5. "Have you ever read your ISP's TOS?" on Have You Really Read Your ISP's TOS? · · Score: 1
  6. This is the most important RFC since RFC 1 on Evil Bit Added to TCP/IP Packets · · Score: 1

    so it DEMANDS reposting at every opportunity, damnit!

  7. Bad News on RFC 3514: New Bit Defined for IPv4 Headers · · Score: 1

    You'll have to write a RFC, and until then, you'll have to use "X-Evil:" instead and hope it catches on.

  8. Let's play "Spot the Error"... on More on Lenses with a Negative Index of Refraction · · Score: 1

    Light passing through a flat glass lens will diverge. Um, yeah. WHatever he says.

  9. Iraqi reaction on Space Shuttle Columbia Breaks Up Over Texas · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    CBS just revealed the Iraqi reaction to the incident...

    Iraqi officials are overjoyed. They see it as nothing less than Allah's retribution for America's evil actions.

    What a surprise.

  10. Re:Neat. on Burn A Song For 99 Cents · · Score: 1

    This artist did, except with a different pricing scheme (25 cents/minute). And they know about OGG :-)

  11. Why such a long book? on Constructing Accessible Web Sites · · Score: 0, Troll

    All developers need to remember is that HTTP stands for Hyper TEXT Transfer protocol.

    Not Hyper Text, Graphics, Java, JavaScript, Shockwave Flash, and MP3 Transfer Protocol (or HTGJJSFMTP).

    Thank you.

  12. Re:Concerts on Dialtones - A Telesymphony · · Score: 1

    www.stockhausen.org

  13. Re:Interesting but not worth attending IMO on Dialtones - A Telesymphony · · Score: 1

    Uh, no. Try "new music" as in classical music that's too new to be classical. Stockhausen ring a bell?

  14. Re:Is SlashDot on this list? on Google sued as PetsWarehouse Lawsuit Continues. · · Score: 1

    That's just about every civilized country on the globe, with the exception of the USA, actually.

    AMERICA SUCKS!

  15. Re:Interesting but not worth attending IMO on Dialtones - A Telesymphony · · Score: 1

    Not a "new music" fan, are you? It's better than some new music I've heard.

  16. Re:Simple purpose on 37 Operating Systems, 1 PC · · Score: 1

    More importantly, though, He invests.

  17. Re:If you can't beat em with technology on Dell Partners with Square · · Score: 1

    Two words.

    Madden 2003.

    Sure, you can play... if it's sunny. Otherwise forget it unless you have Catalyst 2.1 or older drivers (and those are TWO releases old!)

    Still, I'd rather buy Matrox than NVIDIA.

  18. Almost. on Engineer in a Box? · · Score: 1

    All you need is Verilog!

    ...or VHDL, but Verilog is better.

  19. Who needs ProTools... on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    when you've got Audacity!

  20. So, what's so special about Theora? on Xiph.org Releases Theora Alpha One · · Score: 2, Funny

    Its benefits sound, well, theoretical to me.

  21. Re:Life is more than business on Ballmer Wants to "Stomp Linux" Using MS community · · Score: 1

    Linux is an OS

    WRONG.

    Linux is a kernel written by Linus Torvalds. The name of the operating system that runs on the Linux kernel is GNU/Linux.

    HAND.

  22. Makes sense to me. on FSF Issues GNU/Linux Name FAQ · · Score: 1

    I could take out all the GNU tools and put in the BSD tools, and then what would we have? Some kind of BSD running on the Linux kernel, that's what. But what to call it?

    [Free|Net|Open]Linux?
    BSD/Linux?
    Linux OS X?

    But *BSD is dying, so nobody would want to do that, right?

  23. Editor is an idiot on Where UnitedLinux Got It Wrong · · Score: 1

    You are the clueless one for believing that UnitedLinux has any sort of obligation whatsoever to do anything. If they don't want to distribute binaries, that's just fine. Don't use the software if you don't agree. How much more simple can it get?

  24. I have a better idea. on SACD-CD Hybrids -- A Way Out For Us Both? · · Score: 1

    Analog.

    Think about it -- the music industry wins because you can't copy it perfectly digitally, because that would require infinite bits per sample and infinite sample rate, and it degrades with each analog copy you make. At the same time we win because analog sounds better than digital.

    Too bad the average consumer actually believes that CDs are "perfect sound forever" and MP3s are just as good as CDs.

  25. Re:Open Sourcers, you're next! on Gates: Say No to GPL, Yes to the Microsoft Ecosystem · · Score: 1

    Didn't they try this once already with Xenix?
