  1. Why Pay? on Opera Browser Creators Planning IPO · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why pay for Opera when Mozilla v1.6 is out. Support free software and may pay software face eternal dmannation. Okay maybe eternal was overkill. But I would like to see a period similar in length to Cali's Death row.

  2. Tribes on Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The origional tribes owned and still does today. Very few cheats that actually work and enough mods to staisfy whatever kind of player you are. I'm sure you can find someone with a CD of it and it doesnt requier the cd to play. I recommend the "Shifter" mod as it is the most refined and still being develeoped.

  3. Re:Ironic on How Google Can Make or Break A Small Business · · Score: 1

    Im not quite sure how big each companies pipe is, or how many servers they each have. But I would have to put my money on Google. Google probally gets enough hits aday to perform a dos attack on most companies.

  4. Re:Compatibility? on Xbox 2 - The Price of Compatibility? · · Score: 1

    Standard with most companies. We are talking about M$ here. Why would they want you to be able to use your old games when they can make you buy new ones?

  5. /.ed on Cory Doctorow Releases 'Eastern Standard Tribe' · · Score: 1

    How to we congradulate him on releasing his second book? Of course by /.ing him. I guess I will have to download it later.

    every think I might still be in Highschool? Crazy isnt it...

  7. Not What my calculations say... on Half-Life 2 Targeted for Summer Release · · Score: 4, Funny

    valvetime("Summer 2004") = "Winter 2005"

  8. Re:Darl Goes to Harvard? on Darl Goes to Harvard · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Another example of how going to colledge ends in brainwashing. Any respectable school, much less an Ivy League Law school should be able to see through this desperate attemp of sco's to make an easy dollar. They expected the underfunded linux orginazations to roll over at their demands and payup. Guess it didnt work did it Darl? Now to cover your own ass you have to go through with the lawsuits and get beaten.

  9. Re:Wow didn't know _he_ was Mos Def! on H2G2 Cast Finalized, Starts Shooting in April · · Score: 1

    The music in the itailan job was very mild-techno sounding in many places and it did a great job of making the movie better without interfearing. It is one of the first movies I have seen where the score was setup so well i noticed it. Lets hope it carries over to hg.

  10. Did hell freeze over? on Eric Sink on Starting Your Own Software Company · · Score: 1, Funny

    A sourceforge person publsihed on MSDN? Did hell freeze over? I dont know about you guys but as far as taking advice about starting a profitable software company MSDN does seem like the proper place to go. I was expecially intrested in the paragraphs sub-titled "Paying off the Government to avoid getting broken up." and "Exploiting your users stupidity"

  11. Re:very simple fix... on Another Serious MSIE Hole · · Score: 1

    On my windowz box I run mozilla 1.5 and I dont get Pop-Ups, Spyware, or Bullshiet viruses.

  12. IE sucks... on Another Serious MSIE Hole · · Score: 0, Troll

    Looks like we have run across another internet exploiter bug, wonder if they plan on patching this. Then again they might not release january's patches due to the chinese new year. Really we cant expect for Micro$hit to do their job right the first time much less the second time.

  13. Re:SCO on Linus Speaks Out, Calls SCO 'Cornered Rat' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sco saw that linux had hit it big and looked for an easy way into the money. Rather then doing a partnership type association like IBM they decieded to sue the hell out of them and then when that started to look bad they started to sue the users of linux. They are desperate and nothing to worry about.

  14. Re:Personal experience on Unemployed? Why Not Start a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    Very true. IF a bunch of unemployeed programmers hooked up I could only guess that software as buggy as Micro$hit would be the end result. BK and McD are always hiring people to work lateshift clean-up.

  16. Re:15.8hrs/week! on Social Side-Effects Of Internet Use · · Score: 2

    Only people who are able to be online more then /.ers are probally pr0n addicts. I wouldnt be supprised if some /.ers Are over 50 hours a week.

  17. Re:Question on Oscar Screener Leak Traced · · Score: 1

    Agreed, If you are going to pirate a movie make it a good one. Then atleast when you goto jail and get raped by large men you will have a following who concider you a hero, or a man of genius. This movie however, Makes us wonder if you are the kind that likes it up the butt. Spelling isnt important...

  18. Scary on Growing Up With Lucy · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sounds A little scary to me. The entire Idea behind AI just scares me so to think that people still want to pursue it is odd. Do we really want our computers smart enough to develop new skills? What if they are as moody as women or conrtoling as m$... I say outlaw all talk of Huminoid AI. Concider this post Assinine with horrible use of grammer.

  19. Depends on who wins. on Getting Over the Stigma of a Previous Job? · · Score: 1

    If SCO stops and conciders this battle a loss then I see no reason to hold a grudge. If SCO is capable of taking money from Linux then No former SCO employee has a decent chance at working in a high profile open source job. I hear M$ is hiring programers with questionable skillz and no ethics.

  20. How true on Windows XP Edges Out KDE in Usability Test · · Score: 4, Insightful

    KDE is a very simple interface. To tell you the truth I had a harder time going from windows 200 to xp then going from gnome to kde. I know thats like compairing apples to oranges but i like oranges better anyway.

  22. Re:Web on JSP and Tag Libraries for Web Development · · Score: 1

    Very true I have linux books lining a shelf and it makes me feel good to look at them. But truthfully I use websites/usenet/other message boards for when I really have a problem (Only I can crash linux as many times as I do. Somthing about my tendancy for logical fallacies and C++.

  23. Web on JSP and Tag Libraries for Web Development · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You said that most of this is avaiable on web. Would there be any real reason to buy this book then? Does it offer anything special or unique? I might have missed where you said this in your review. If i did. Sorry.
