  1. Re:This is why copyright laws are bad on FSF Files Suit Against Cisco For GPL Violations · · Score: 1

    GPL forces people to be kind in return, BSD is Ok with you even if you take the code a close a derivated.

    Which one is more free is a philosofical question

  2. Re:Linux, as a matter of fact on Which OS Performs Best With SSDs? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I am the genius !

  3. Re:Don't think so! on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 1

    Except for "scientifically" speaking "intellectually" demanding jobs, I don't think you are right.

  4. Re:Don't think so! on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 1

    I think a loot of people would think like you, the good thing for competitive guys is that most of the time, the positions that matter don't usually find more than one person to do the job, that's where a degree-less guys like my find their opportunities :)

  5. I actually work as sysadmin without a (computer) d on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 1

    I'm in México, and I've been working as web developer and sysadmin the last 4 years, I do have a degree in chemistry, and I'm even trying to get a Ph.D. (in chemistry too) done, but it took me way too long, so a few years ago started to work on the TI side, I learned a lot of networking and programming while on college, so I had little problem to find someone that doesn't care about my actual degree, but do care about a lot of stuff I know (specially FOSS related) that most computer degree guys don't know that deep, I even managed to pass as "analyst" even when I've never had an assinature about UML, development process, etc

    I don't think I would have a lot of trouble to work on USA either, I can make a lot of stuff done relating to any sysadmin/developer activity.

  6. Re:Speaking of Search Results on Google Terminates Lively · · Score: 1

    I usually find that wikipedia results on top actually help me alot, if I need something else I just need to go a couple of results below and I find it

  7. Re:Oblig. on Google Terminates Lively · · Score: 1

    just another me too

    Love google, and use a few services on daily basis, but never used lively, no worth the reboot to windows I think

  8. Re:Pffft... on Real Name For Open Source Development? · · Score: 1

    I use a really slick nickname, as you can see, but it would be trivial to point that nick to the real person behind.

    If someone is stupid enought to not connect my name with the nick, I don't want to work for him.

  9. Re:I'm amazed on Woman Admits Sending $400K To Nigerian Scammer · · Score: 1

    you are fscking wrong, we live in a world of a lot of underaverage intelligence, and a very few % of intelligent people, being in the middle of the IQ distribution or even somewhat above doesn't make people intelligent you know

  10. Re:Here's One for Slashdot Stories! on (Useful) Stupid Regex Tricks? · · Score: 1

    The best trick I know about stracraft is to use protos, it's quite impossible to beat a good protos player

  11. Just go on vacation for a couple of months on How Do You Justify the Existence of IT? · · Score: 1

    They will appreciate you without any need for writen justification.

    Come on, just disable the anti-spam, they will get the point.

  13. Re:TV Viewership will go down? on Political Sites Scale Up For Election Traffic · · Score: 1

    don't you ever get some rest ??

  14. Re:TV Viewership will go down? on Political Sites Scale Up For Election Traffic · · Score: 1

    my guess is that most people will be watching TV and browsing sites, at least that's what I do.

    There is a lot of people watching tv on bed, with the laptop right beside them.

  15. Re:I like violent music... on Video Games Linked To Child Aggression · · Score: 1

    Totally agree, I feel the same about music, Pantera, Metallica (the good ones), Kreator, and the likes make my daily life way better.

    I often get myself thinking about the current state of our world, the politic bullsh*t, etc, when listening to a good metal disc.

    I do play, but mostly play car racing games, strategy games (sudoku, mahjong, ...) or things like that, fight games are only fun when there is an adversary :), I guess that's my way of expresing aggresion.

  16. Re:The thing is still ugly on T-Mobile G1 Faster Than iPhone 3G · · Score: 1

    About better than touch, please tell us any good alternative, I don't know anything besides PSP that can do what touch can do.

  19. Re:But i thought... on Yahoo Hacker 'Mafiaboy' Eight Years On · · Score: 1

    I replied ageeing, and I will tell you why.

    I was pretty responsable, and I know a lot of people that did way worse things than me, but still immaturity makes you make a lot of stupid things, I know few people that didn't made any notisable error while teenager (doesn't mean they didn't).

  20. Re:But i thought... on Yahoo Hacker 'Mafiaboy' Eight Years On · · Score: 1

    I agree.

    I regret a lot of things I did, even when they weren't that bad, I shouldn't have done a lot, and now I know that I SHOULD have done a lot other fun stuff that would keep me from thinking stupid things to do.

  21. Re:Turn down the volume on Study Links Personal Music Players To Hearing Loss · · Score: 1

    I actually saw a few years ago a guy turn without checking the car that was running beside him.

    It was at university campus, on the car circuit, on a saturday. Almost no cars, the guy with earphones, and a very low noising car made a very bad combination.

    The guy didn't had a lot of injuries, the car was pretty slow, but having seen that, I would not run, walk or drive with earphones to loud, I'm old enough to worry about my life and my family I guess.

    I haven't seen an freakin mp3 player that can play spore (origins, but still spore) a lot of racing games, even football !, chess, and I can just go on for a while

    Ipod touchs is a lot, not just the player, come on, I can SSH to a server from it.

    I don't think you are getting the message.
