Yeah, I know. It just didn't sound right sending them to wales to be shot... Ya know - Siberia, cold and all that. Wales is a little *too* hospitable.;)
I was kinda going for the Stalin-type theme.
Open source is based on the very principles of communism...
But the biggest difference is that Linus isn't going to send you to N. Finland and have Alan Cox shoot you if you whine on/. about your latest/greatest kernel patch...
Interestingly enough, any shape with rounded sides would suffice for a manhole cover. For example, if you took a triangular shape and bowed out the sides, it would also work, because it wouldn't be able to fall through. I think it works for most shapes. However the circular shape is the simplest...
Hehe. Well, I wouldn't take me very seriously. As another poster pointed out, it wasn't the verb, it was the subject. So it looks like I'm the one that needs to work on my english skills...:)
Interesting fact about TATU: Once the younger one (don't know their names) became 18, they applied to be in an issue of PLAYBOY together. They were told to buzz off.
Well when your name is hijacked, it's just as rude as being spammed, except worse really, because your identity is being stolen, rather than your inbox being inconvenienced.
I agree completely. I wasn't justifying the mozilla project. I was merely pointing out, that imho, the publicity the SQL project was getting was bad, because I didn't think they presented themselves well to the community by lashing out like that.
Oh... you mean because linux users have flooded Sun's and Microsoft's support forums with useless shit? Ya right. Go back and look at what I said. I said flooding, not advocating.
...And, now that you have an understanding of where the name came from for the project, maybe you'll have a better appreciation of their fight to retain it.
I have no problems with their fight to retain their identity. However, I highly object to the methods that many of the people in their community used to express their displeasure.
And you've never contaced a company or orgaization to show your displeaure over something?
I've definitely contacted companies over stuff like this. What I haven't done is flooded message boards with rhetoric that is attacking their company.
you would probably see that a number of us jerks tried using the open existing channels of communitation with the Mozilla people.
When I said 'jerks' I was refering to the people who flooded inboxes and message boards with trash. Those people are jerks. I applaud you and the others who tried to open valid communications with mozilla.
This could also be just a smart move by the FirebirdSQL team.
Well, that depends... I for one have no intention of using a program where the developers and supporters resort to spamming and flooding other projects with derogatory comments. It shows a great level of immaturity. Therefore, I have no interest in using FirebirdSQL. I'd never heard of it before, but the only things I've heard about it so far are that the developers and supporters are basically jerks, flooding places with messages as opposed to openning up a positive, constructive dialog to resolve the differences.

The entire thing is ported to x86.
neurostarFrankly I think not porting OSX to x86...
Apple does maintain an x86 port of OSX. In fact portions of it are opensource (tm).
neurostarhehehe. well, it appears that others have beaten me to it. :)
Read this.
There are shapes that aren't round but won't fall through their own hole. 'cause remember, the hole doesn't have to be round. ;)
Here's a better explanation.
Ah ok. Yeah, I remembered that there was something more specific than I was able to articulate... but I couldn't put my finger on it.
Thanks.

neurostarI recall getting on yahoo, surfing all the interesting links in one night, getting bored and going back to usenet news.
So... what you're saying is you reached the end of the internet?
Hehe. Well, I wouldn't take me very seriously. As another poster pointed out, it wasn't the verb, it was the subject. So it looks like I'm the one that needs to work on my english skills... :)
neurostarhaha, good call.
wow, i can't believe i messed that one up...
neurostarFinally can get Office XP apps to run
Yes... but does the program allow you to add verbs to your sentences? If so, maybe they should integrate it with the /. submissions script...
Interesting fact about TATU: Once the younger one (don't know their names) became 18, they applied to be in an issue of PLAYBOY together. They were told to buzz off.
boycott playboy... 'nuff said.
If those two eat pussy, I'll eat my cat.
Oh man, I really hope they're lesbians. I'd love to see you eat your cat. (well, and if they were lesbians, that'd just be fucking cool).
;)
neurostarWell, there's ways to fool retina scans IIRC. Bruce Schneider talked about one method a while back...
neurostarYeah, very true. I was just throwing it out...

neurostarso you're going to stop using linux, then?
Oh... you mean because linux users have flooded Sun's and Microsoft's support forums with useless shit? Ya right. Go back and look at what I said. I said flooding, not advocating.
neurostarI'm afraid I'm not aware of their flame war history. Care to englighten me?

IMHO, they've shot themselves in the foot.
neurostarI can't think of anything more typcially slashdot than a karma whore bitching about slashdot being typcially slashdot.
Wait, You mean joking about it right? Cause that's what everyone else knew I was doing.
