  1. Re:SCO shows the alleged "stolen" code on SCO: FSF Reply To GPL Claims, Conference Sponsors Back Off? · · Score: 2, Funny

    but this is better. "In terms of obfuscating code, Sontag said SCO has gone through millions of lines of code and developed methods to find similarities. "We have rocket scientists who have applied their spectral recognition and pattern analysis to software, which has yielded amazing results. We have found needles in the Mount Everest-sized haystack," Sontag" and dont forget A tongue-in-cheek movie clip here Monday morning at the start of its SCO Forum 2003 event, purporting to show an average day in the life of McBride, consisted of actual footage of Pierce Brosnan from a James Bond movie. In his keynote address, McBride explained that there are striking similarities between SCO over the past year and a Bond movie. "The past year had been much like a Bond movie, with attacks and counter attacks, but in the end Bond never dies," he said to applause. " "

  2. Re:As much as I like Linux on Flavor vs. Flavour · · Score: 1

    Linux was made to serve the needs of developers who make it. If you read it you see they are just having fun. The fact so many linux people take the "omg what will everyone think of this!" attitude means you need to adopt the BSD attitude. calm down and repeat after me, "what the world thinks does not matter". Remember even if some user thinks what a bunch of idiots linux will still go on.

  3. Re:What is amazing is.. on New Great Ape Discovered? · · Score: 1

    If we evolved from apes why have we stopped evolving? shouldnt we be devolving right now?

  4. Re:contantly changing ui on Galeon Developers Interview · · Score: 1

    In the new Galeon you need to use gconf-editor to set up "advanced" settings such as where the tabs are located etc etc. Sorry for my horrible grammar.

  5. Re:Technology *can* help on UN Recommends WiFi for Poor Countries · · Score: 1

    in reality cell phones would be much better than internet access. think about it with a cell phone you can do trade and find information, plus cell phones are cheaper and easier to use.

  6. Re:Immortalized in song. on No Business Like SCO Business · · Score: 1

    MOD THIS UP.

  7. Re:Okay so... on Mozilla 1.4b Loosed · · Score: 1

    Opera is great. I get tired of preaching zealots talking about how free as in price software is all they will use. I for one am glad they don't run hospital computer departments.

  8. Re:So - which Linux is actually better? on Libranet 2.8 Review · · Score: 1

    I've used red hat,mandrake,gentoo,freebad obsd (as a desktop), gentoo and windows 2000. If you want to try a linux distro i'd go with gentoo. It has portage as does Freebsd. The one thing I like about gentoo over Freebsd on the desktop is that it's more polished. For instance, want some xmms-skins or some mplayer skins? Just emerge mplayer-skins , emerge xmms-themes. I was suprised to find that fluxbox had come with extra themes when I emerged it. So try them both. As far dual monitors, Yes.

  9. Re:"Putting" the vuln in? on Microsoft Sued for Defective Software · · Score: 1

  10. Shouldn't this be on the front page? on Copyright Office Accepting Digital Music Comments · · Score: 1

    "Run Your Car on Grease" makes it to the front page and yet this story doesn't. Certainly news for nerds stuff that matters.

  11. OS support on ATI To Support XFree86 4.3 Soon · · Score: 1

    Hopefully ATI comes out with a Freebsd driver soon. Of course if it doesn't support all their radeon series cards it'll be useless to me. Who knows maybe the linux zealots will be shouting ATI instead of Nvidia now.

  12. Re:GNU/linux hardware on Lindows Releases Inexpensive Subnotebook · · Score: 1

    or maybe RMS should branch.

  13. Re:reply on Office 2003 Beta 2 Screen Shots · · Score: 1

    read the post "In reality shouldn't we expect more from modern OSes? Shouldn't the code be more solid than requiring monthly patches. Souldn't e-mailed executables be run in a sandbox? Its a pity we HAVE to have virus software and even its not good enough, you have to constantly update it." notice how he said SANDBOX not anti-virus.
