  1. Re:I don't know why, on Pixar Switches to Mac OS X and G5s · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does windows come with visual studio, dns server, proxy, etc?

    OSX comes with gcc, java, perl, python, even with X11 and Xcode

  2. Re:Err... on Mandrakelinux 10.0 Community Ready For Download · · Score: 4, Funny

    Could the editors at least make sure the posts are readible?


    How about readable? :P

    I wonder if it has a patched 3.2 kde with the kmail fixes kde mentioned a few days after the release. kde 3.2.1 has TONS of fixes

  4. Re:The 'help' command on The Command Line - Best Newbie Interface? · · Score: 2, Funny

    [ldab:~] selderrr% help alias
    help: Command not found.


    Something is wrong with your system.

    mac:~/msn espectro$ help alias
    alias: alias [-p] [name[=value] ... ]
    `alias' with no arguments or with the -p option prints the list
    of aliases in the form alias NAME=VALUE on standard output.
    Otherwise, an alias is defined for each NAME whose VALUE is given.
    A trailing space in VALUE causes the next word to be checked for
    alias substitution when the alias is expanded. Alias returns
    true unless a NAME is given for which no alias has been defined.

    i hope the xfree team goes there and talks the license issue with them

  6. Re:Prejudiced Generalization on Coffee is a "Health Drink" · · Score: 1

    So? That doesn't matter.

    Some of the countries where you can find mostly good coffee everywhere are Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba and arabian countries.

    Worst coffee out there? Any american-served one.
    The irony? Most american coffee is actually colombian.
    The problem? Americans drink what we venezuelans call "guayoyo" which is simply a very light cup of coffee.
    If you are in miami or know a place where they sell cuban coffee, try their expressos. Comes in a very small cup, and it's strong.

    How to measure the strength of coffee by only looking at it? Check the surface. Strong coffee looks thicker and has brown bubbles all over it.

  7. Re:Macintosh performance issues on Unreal Tournament 2004 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Did you really expect a mac laptop to be as fast as a pc desktop?

    On my 1.0ghz powerbook i can barely play neverwinter, and it almost fries the cpu

  9. Re:Which version of KDE 3.2? on Mandrakelinux 10.0 Community is Available · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's true, it appeared on www.kde.org.

    Basically, they found a few serious bugs with kmail and they advised to repackage kde 3.2 from the stable cvs branch or wait for 3.2.1

  11. Prediction on Kazaa Going to Court · · Score: 3, Funny

    I predicted that kazaa would die in 2003, and though it didn't happen, we can be pretty sure that it will sooner or later.

    Perhaps we need a legitimate kazaa? An Itunes-alike that not only sells music, but also software?

    Sooner or later all file swapping will have to get around this

  12. Re:Poor move.. on Acer Plans A 16 lb. Notebook · · Score: 1

    Because it would be twice as expensive and half as fast?

    I love my powerbook but it can't compete in speed or price.

    So obviously 2000 had to be release before or at the same time as ME

    What part of "ME was released AFTER 2000" don't you understand?

  18. OS/390, z/OS on Sun Agrees to Talk to IBM over Open Sourcing Java · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Seems we won't be getting free OS goodies:

    "When asked whether IBM would be as willing to create open-source versions of its OS/390 or z/OS, Sutor said: "We're not suggesting Sun open source its directory software or proprietary stuff. Java is already in the JCP [Java Community Process]. It is already a community process that many people have contributed to. It's a mistake to look at it as though Sun is the sole author, and this is not any of their proprietary products.""

  19. Sun reply on Sun Agrees to Talk to IBM over Open Sourcing Java · · Score: 4, Informative

    I wonder what IBM has to say on Sun's reply, which is covered by techworld

    Apparently they don't understand IBM's position on Linux

    For proof of that, just walk around any large city and count the iPods. They got it right.

    Then why aren't we seeing everyone with Macs?

    Simple. It's a crowded market and PC's have been on the market for so long. But the mp3 player arena is a newer one, and apple went strong. That's the reason.

    Where can i get the macosx version for (F,f)ree? Macgimp is selling it but i dont see a free download.

  24. Re:Flamebait on One more G4 for the PowerBook? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just THINK for a minute.

    What is easier and more intuitive? To RIGHT CLICK using a mouse, or to right click using a KEYBOARD?

    Clicking belongs to the mouse. Using the keyboard makes it all more confusing.

    Face it, a two button mouse will always be better than one button mouse.

    Having said that, i switched my laptop to a powerbook just to have OSX, and i love it. But the one button mouse is a joke
