  1. Re:Slashdot is broken? on IBM Supporting Linux On Power Processors · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's an inadvertant DoS caused by the ping flood that occurs whenever slashdot is slightly slower than usual.

  2. Well, I'm safe on SCO Lobbying Congress Against Open Code · · Score: 1

    This "Linux" and "Open Source" stuff sounds dangerous. Thank God I use GNU/Linux, which is free software.

  3. Re:To be read on Review - Mac OS X Server 10.3, Part 1 · · Score: 1

    Just what we need... server admins who can't grasp the simple skills required to use a console.

  4. Of course, microsoft is assuming... on Microsoft to sue Mike Rowe for Copyrights · · Score: 1

    ...that someone would want to be confused for them.

  5. Re:Computers will be everywhere on The Uncertain Promise of Utility Computing · · Score: 1

    whoever makes this work seemlessly first will be a huge winner. Unless it is Microsoft, which will promptly be shut down for Monopolistic practices.

  6. Re:It's first invention on Scientists Invent Scientist · · Score: 1

    It should be able to patent its own inventions. ROBOT EQUALITY NOW!

  7. Re:In related news... on SCO Expands Licensing Money Chase Worldwide · · Score: 1

    I hope they can see this, because I am doing it harder than I have ever done it before.

  8. Re:Great Acronym! SFU! on Windows Services For Unix Now Free Of Charge · · Score: 1

    Isn't SFU Stupid FuXing User?

  9. Re:Nintendo - not for kids anymore! on Metal Gear Solid - Twin Snakes, Mario Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    Saying "rather" twice in four words is a mark of pretty bad style as well.

  10. Re:Knoppix? Any CD bootable Linux 2.6 version? on Linux 2.6.0 Kernel Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Personally, I can't wait for a knoppix with NTFS write support. As a person who spends a great deal of time fixing machines running mostly Windows XP, I'll greatly enjoy being able to fix their fscked up computers without having to actually use windows XP.

  11. All Lies! on GNU-Darwin: Three Years of Free Software Activism · · Score: 1

    Darwin isn't a politically oriented BSD at all. It's politically oriented Mach.

  12. Star Trek OS on Star Trek Enterprise Tested to Mach 5 · · Score: 5, Funny

    For a second I misread it and thought that the article would be about Star Trek OS, Enterprise Edition running on a Mach 5 Microkernel. Imagine my disappointment.

  13. Re:What MS does provide on Cringley on Microsoft and Linux · · Score: 1, Redundant

    simple installation? Have you ever installed any MS programs? Firstly, you have to purchase a copy of the software, then you have to put the CD into your computer. Then, you have to type in some 64-digit activation code. then you run it, and it crashes.
    It's a lot easier to just apt-get install OpenOffice.org.

  14. Re:How about the GIMP ? on Adobe Makes Products Harder to Use, More Expensive · · Score: 1

    I use the GIMP on a regular basis for digital photograph manipulation. It's extremely stable. The only times I've seen the GIMP crash, it was running on Windows XP, which itself is buggy, and crashes. I also sometimes use Photoshop 6 on a Mac for a publication that I work on. When we were running OS 9, PS would frequently lock up the computers for no reason. Now that we're running OS X, it only locks up when we try to import scanned images.

    While it is apparent that Apple is attempting to make a better platform for graphics editing (though at the same time taking the backwards step of sticking LCD monitors on everything), for the time being, Linux running GIMP is the most stable platform I've found for graphics work.

  15. Re:"Linux" on Bill Gates: Windows Patched Faster than Linux · · Score: 1

    He probably is getting his free Operating Systems confused. I bet he was thinking of HURD.

  16. Re:Out of business on Hotel Being Sued for Using the Dewey Decimal System · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why would anyone want to rename Services For Unix? It has such a catchy acronym.

  17. Re:Predicted response on Booting Linux Faster · · Score: 1

    400 days? Your kernel must be horribly outdated.

  18. The real missing manual on iMovie 3 & iDVD: The Missing Manual · · Score: 5, Funny

    man imovie man idvd

  19. Have you noticed? on SCO Attorney Declares GPL Invalid · · Score: 1

    It seems that SCO, as much as they hate the GPL, have nothing bad to say about the LGPL.

  20. Re:whatch_durrin vs. VIA on LavaRnd: A Open Source Project for Truly Random Numbers · · Score: 1

    I have something that on my computer.

  22. California Vs. Monster on Ask the 'Geek Candidate' for California Governor · · Score: 1

    What's the highest score you've ever recieved from the "Tokyo" Scenerio of Sim City.

  23. Re:A couple places to start on The Little Coder's Predicament · · Score: 1

    How about reviving Duke3d? It offered a simple interpretted language (.con files) that offered quick results and offers a slightly more interesting environment than LOGO. It was one of my first programming experiences. Kids can start small, changing values, giving themselves more ammo, etc, and eventually work into programming their own rocket-launching trashcans of death. There's a lot to be learned from a stable existing program base that's open to hacking. Not to mention, it now fits the technical/ethical preferences of those open-source types.
