  1. Just why does this make me start thinking of on Zero Install: The Future of Linux on the Desktop? · · Score: 0

    Just why does running one of these servers make me start thinking of the alt.suicide.holiday suicide-method list?

    OTOH, if Windows were to ship with a functional firewall (such as IPTables), nobody would ever need the 3rd-party software in the first place.

  8. Re:As a die-hard Windows - 1 Year Debian convert.. on What Differentiates Linux from Windows? · · Score: 1

    Windows, as in the operating system and its code isnt better for games. Infact, quite the opposite when you look at some of the performance hacks you can do on the Linux kernel.

    The gaming-industry write alot more games for Windows, that makes it better for playing _those_ games, even if you get way more juice of your hardware in Linux.

    And about I can get one or two games working in Linux: Let's see, the good games i can come up with that run natively on Linux is: UT, UT2003, UT2004 (demo), NWN, NWN SoU, NWN HoTU, RTCW, RTCW:ET, AA. And those are GOOD games, that you can play for months.

    You also have a bunch of open-source games in varying quality.

    And finally you can get most of the popular games (W3C, CS etc.) to run without any real problems in Wine(X).

    Windows is superior doing:

    * Games (of course)

    You actually get better preformance in most Linux games compared to their Windows counterpart (i get 20+ fps in nwn). Besides, you can use kernel sources especially designed for gaming to improve the experiene even more, so you can cross out the Games part.

  12. IBM Thinkpad (r-series) has hidden space on Recovering Secret HD Space · · Score: 4, Informative

    The IBM Thinkpad (R-series atleast) has 4 Gb of hidden diskspace that you can enable for ordinary usage in BIOS.
    It sounds fairly little, but on a 20 Gb drive that's 20%

    Usually there is some kind of backup-image there, but it isnt really necessary (especially for us Linux people).

  13. Re:Wow on A Look at the Upcoming GNOME 2.6 · · Score: 1

    Blackbox is also a nice environment once you get used to the lack of an iconbox (minimized apps just disappear)

    That's why you double-click the title of an application to shade it if you only want to hide it temporarily, and minimize it if you won't be needing it for quite a while.

If they do not agree to relicense their lives with the "SCODIAL LICENSE 1" and pay me 1.000.000$ i will proceed with a lawsuit. ;)

  18. Expert = Homeless bum on MS Security Chief: Windows Never Exploited Until Patch Available · · Score: 1

    Malicious hackers and vandals are lazy and wait for Microsoft to issue patches before they produce tools to work out how to exploit loopholes in Windows, say experts.

    I think they pick random bums of the street and ask them of their oppinion and say that "experts claim that". Maybe "expert" is a very old word for "bum".

    Frankly, I don't want Budweiser knowing when I choose to buy their beer versus another brands.

    If you insist on being a covert budweiser drinker, i'd like to introduce the concept of "shoplifting". Walk around and get your ordinary stuff, and put the budweiser in your pocket. Then you pay for the non-budweiser stuff and just pretend you never took the thing. Simple! Just don't get caught or the men with the shiny badges will put you in a really small place with metal bars they call "Jail" or give you those notes that say you need to pay alot of money.
