  1. Re:What about Nautilus on GNOME 2.10 Beta 1 Screenshot Demo · · Score: 1

    Right-click home desktop icon, chose Properties and check `always open in browser window'. Someone else already mentioned where to chose default view.

  2. Re:Don't be a fool on Microsoft Seeks Latitude/Longitude Patent · · Score: 1

    No they won't do it because open source is not a threat, due to poor interoperability!

  3. Re:Request on FBI E-Mail Server Breached · · Score: 1
    People, why would this mean that their email server is on that same machine? Most likely it is not. What you need to query is

    smtp00.fbi.gov.

  4. Re:Dyu think Microsoft will ever live it down ... on First Program Executed on L4 Port of GNU/HURD · · Score: 1

    Both.

  5. Re:Getting into IT as a career path is stupid on Open Source is Not a Career Path · · Score: 1

    No, no, no.... passion for justice is every lawyer's driver!

  6. Re:URIs and URLs on Open Source is Not a Career Path · · Score: 2, Funny
    The most frequent question I get asked on the topic is:

    What's the www for that site?

  7. Re:Hope again on 4 Linux Distros Compared To Win XP, Mac OS X · · Score: 1
    The thing is, to make a distro usable by grandmas, you need to dumb it down to a point where I wouldn't let it within a mile of my servers.

    I fail to see your point. Seriously.

    Are you saying that you are quite happy to serve Windows machines, which - don't we all know that? - are quite safe, versatile and robust?

  8. Re:Hmm, interesting... on IBM Subpoenas Intel Into SCO Fray · · Score: 1

    It is still hard to believe that IBM would be able to make a big dent in Wintel market. At least not quickly. For some reason, I think IBM and Intel are on the same side here.

  9. Re:My life on Funny non-IT Uses of UML? · · Score: 1

    You sure you'll find some time to buy that ticket?

  10. Re:Who did the backend for *THAT* page? on Google Still Ahead In Search Competition · · Score: 1

    To be able not to scroll down-up-down-up-down to read the whole article. My laptop's screen is not exactly the size of the paper version. Firefox on Linux, of course.

  11. Re:maybe its just me on Google Still Ahead In Search Competition · · Score: 1

    Probably none of two - he must have thought fried chicken.

  12. Re:Who did the backend for *THAT* page? on Google Still Ahead In Search Competition · · Score: 1

    Pretty damn ugly and unreadable. These people need to figure out some basics of WWW before they try to write on the Internet about anything related to Internet.

  13. Re:Mediocrity on Microsoft in 2008 · · Score: 2, Funny

    And XP was ready for what exactly at the time of release?

  14. Re:R.E.S.P.E.C.T. on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 1
    He isn't but you are. His full sentence read:

    If USA can attack another country "Just Like That"(tm), I would consider Chinese's censorship a godsend given it's only imposed within its own country.

    See the difference?

  15. Re:How do they know? on Vienna To Softly Embrace Linux · · Score: 1

    1] Not likely but they will, soon. 2] Is there a need for one? 3] Of course they will.

  16. Re:Obligatory on Running Windows Viruses Under Linux · · Score: 1

    No problems. Just make sure you double-click the attachment named AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs

  18. Re:This one says even more than that one on Review of Microsoft's Anti-Spyware Tools · · Score: 1

    "Start" button...

  19. Re:"threat" to MS? on Linux, Inc. · · Score: 1

    You don't expect that question to be answered, right? Of course they are serious. They just ran out of ideas and I think they finally realised that they can't fight Linux in the only way it could be challenged - product quality. FUD didn't work, lame acknowledgements ditto and their third option - takeover - is not possible due to GPL.

  20. Re:Very soon... on Andrew Tridgell Joins OSDL · · Score: 1

    When is RMS scheduled to join?

  21. Re:higher moral ground on Red Hat Trying to Make Fedora More Open? · · Score: 1
    i think RH is just trying to gain higher moral ground by further open sourcing the Fedora distro

    I really don't understand what you mean by this. Both Red Hat Enterprise and Fedora Core are 100% opensourced, so how can they be opensourced further?

  22. Re:What we do... on Laptops, Headless Servers and KVMs? · · Score: 1

    For some reason, I only had trouble with DRACs. Unbelievably slow. I am lucky though to have technicians on remote sites for situations when I am not able to acomplish something through rdesktop/tsclient and/or ssh.

  23. Re:Tertiary Education on Being Free is Hard to Do · · Score: 1

    Perhaps suggestion but trust me, it's never admin's choice.

  24. Re:Four freedoms vs Max use? on Being Free is Hard to Do · · Score: 1
    You are welcome - but it's not any easier to put all that onto XP box + SP + AV + critical updates + anti spyware... and you still don't have Office installed. By the time XP machine completes all required reboots, I would have been in a middle of a light supper, after finished watching LOTR.

    Whole bloody trilogy.

    You're not supposed to use words postgresql, mysql and Oracle in a single comment on Slashdot unless you were planning to stay around for a long, long time.
