  1. depends on the goals... on Open Source on Windows - Boon or Bane for Linux? · · Score: 1

    these KDE folks should get their priorities in order. Is the goal
    a. To kill MS
    or
    b. to produce good software that people use & like
    i'd venture a guess and say it's b. Who cares what something does to MS? This is not a battle b/w companies. Market share isn't actually as important to FOSS as good products is.

  5. Re:Begining to Wonder About Apple's QA on Apple Replaces Some 15" PowerBook Displays · · Score: 1

    It's just that you never hear good news. I have a 17"PB and it works perfectly fine (8 months old).

    just read the thing out loud and you'll find the solution. its not mathematics, its more a semantic problem.

    Well, it's probably supposed to mean that even rainbows end.

    From now on, every idiot who uses the term "could of" will be tracked down, stripped to a chair in front of a TV with a loop of GWB speeches and forgotten.

  12. Other German Zeppelin Startup.. on Zeppelin Flies Again · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There was another German Zeppelin Startup called the Cargolifter. Their business plan sounded a lot more exiting. They were going to develop a Zeppelin for Heavy Duty lifting, like bringing Turbine Parts to remote areas in India. Basically all the stuff thats too big for normal trucks.

    Unfortunately, the managers were rather low on some vital brain functions and they had a few hundred engineers working on rather useless side-projects before their burn rate caught up with their Venture Capital

    They did, however, built the biggest self-supported manufacturing hall worldwide. Some Japanese investors are planting a rainforest in it now.

  13. Re:ok.. on SUSE 9.1 FTP Version Available · · Score: 1

    well, its originally a german company. Don't know if the name is supposed to be pronounced english, but in german it would be with soft S (you don't have that sound in english i believe, just imagine a stereotypical nazi-german saying 'this').
    The 'e' is not silent, pronounced like the e in 'the'.

    So all in all it would be ThuThe, with the ths misspronounced german-style.

    RTFM, but I think it doesn't.

  17. Re:Hm, interesting... on Germany to Vote Against Software Patents in the EU · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You dont't get it. The world does not protest american products, movies, music, clothing or McDonalds (some do, but I'm talking about the reasonable rest).

    The world protests American foreign policies. If they were to boycott American Everything, it would be much easier to call them Anti-American. They're not Anti-American. They love the American Way of Life, American Freedom and everything. They just wished the US would live it's own dream, instead of participating in the historic experiment "Why Rome collapsed".

  19. Re:quote on Simpsons Actors on Strike · · Score: 4, Insightful

    well, but the 1 billion value is not what fox earned with the simpsons in the past, it's merely its current market value if they were gonna sell it to cnn.
    The figure you want to calculate with is (TOTAL REVENUE OF ADVERTISING + 1 BILLION) - (TOTAL COSTS OF PRODUCTION + VALUE OF AIRTIME).

    Most attacks fail during the period of vulnerability.

    I think you have discovered the holy grail. You deserve a Nobel Prize, a Booker Prize and an Oscar. What are you going to research next? I expect mindbending insights like:

    funny how i see at least 3 'mod me down, i dont care' posts at +5 in every thread....
