  1. Re:Did the printer castrate him? on Note To Criminals — Don't Call Tech Support · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not all dumb people are criminals. Well, not unless being stupid is outlawed.

  2. Frustration and disappointment ... on On Provoking Emotions Via Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ... are emotions too. Emotions often provoked by games. But usually when people start to talk about emotion and games it's about emotional attachment to characters (love/hate stuff). But come on... it's virtual reality, it's entertainment, why should I feel anything about those characters, they're not real (just like the characters in books and movies).

  3. Microsoft Cancer? on Microsoft Planning to Buy Open Source Companies? · · Score: 1

    If you consider Linux a cancer, you can apply the same analogy to Microsoft (EA, ...)
    It's spreading and infecting other software/companies...

    If you have time reading /. then why isn't Exchange operating properly? I still can't sync my PDA or log in through owa.
    Because of you slacking I can't do much right now. The only thing I can do is read /. and wait for things to get fixed.

    wait a minute...

    I vote for Eikonoklastes.

  9. Re:Binary installer for eclipse!? on Adobe Releases Flex Builder Linux Alpha · · Score: 1

    Irrelevant. You can still handle registrations codes the eclipse way. If Omondo can do it, then so can Adobe.

  10. Re:When will people learn? on Sun Refuses LGPL for OpenOffice; Novell forks · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes it is. Listen to your parent, didn't they teach you to respect your parent?

  11. Binary installer for eclipse!? on Adobe Releases Flex Builder Linux Alpha · · Score: 2

    If they are using eclipse then why do they ship a binary installer? Why not use the Eclipse feature installation system or even a archive that contains the feature/plugin stuff. It's not that difficult. Nobody cares for flashy installers.

  13. Re:A solution without a problem? on Dutch Commission Deals Blow To Electronic Voting · · Score: 1

    Remind me, what problem do electronic voting machines solve?

    The problem of poor math skills. People even fuck up math when they're using a calculator.
  14. Almost everything is copyright on Google Video Blasted Over Piracy Claims · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ... unless it has been explicitly released in public domain or was created before Mickey Mouse was created.
    The difference is having permission to distribute copyrighted material.
    Does Google Video contain copyrighted material? Of course it does, but is the copyright violated is the important question. That question can only be answered by the copyright holder.

  15. Re:European salaries != US salaries on Annual IT Salary Survey Finds Dissatisfaction · · Score: 1

    Sorry, not buying it. Every time somebody claims that the UK is so much more expensive than the rest of the EU I can't find any proof that backs up that statement. A GP gave a list of the costs in the Netherlands. Now show us where the UK is so much more expensive. And don't come with the house prices in central London. A house in central Amsterdam is also way more expensive than the average housing price.

  18. Re:OSI run by anti-Mircosoft wankers on OSI Asks Microsoft to Change the MS-PL · · Score: 1
    Yes it does. GPL does not cover anything for the user end, only distributer side.
    But the MS PL contains this (first line):

    This license governs use of the accompanying software. If you use the software, you accept this license. If you do not accept the license, do not use the software.

    http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sharedsource/licensingbasics/permissivelicense.mspx

    As user of GPL software (or any other free software) you don't have to agree with a license for normal usage. A lot of software incorrectly show a "agree/disagree" window for Free Software.
  19. Re:OSI run by anti-Mircosoft wankers on OSI Asks Microsoft to Change the MS-PL · · Score: 1

    Compatibility is subject to interpretation. If MS-PL is OSI approved it will be the only OSI approved license that restrict usage of software covered under that license. One of the core elements of Free Software is that (normal) users are not restricted. So for compliance, MS-PL restricts usage and it thus not compatible with the idea of Free Software.

  21. Re:How carefully is the license written? on How to Stop Commerial Use of Copyleft Materials? · · Score: 3, Funny

    How carefully is the license written?

    It was written using a remote controlled non explosive pencil on an environment safe piece of paper in an bunker on a remote location. The writing speed was one letter per hour and the operator was located in an other timezone.

    So I think it's safe to say it was very carefully written.
  22. Re:My favs on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    iirc all of them have FTP support. But that's all irrelevant. I use WinSCP and open my favorite editor to edit the remote files. WinSCP will handle the updating of the remote files in the background.

  23. Re:My favs on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    Interesting list. I consider both UltraEdit and ACDSee as bloatware.
    I use Irfanview instead of ACDSee.
    As for UltraEdit, haven't made up my mind yet concerning a proper text editor. Currently I use PSPad, but CrimsonEditor or ConTEXT are also better than UltraEdit. And if you don't mind paying a bit, EditPlus is also much better than UltraEdit.

  24. What is the bug? on Vista Bug Costs Users In Swedish Town Their Internet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "It doesn't work" has never been a useful comment.
    Also, I don't see why an ISP should test every OS version to check if it's compatible with their network. I thought we all used the TCP/IP standard for internet stuff. And if Vista had a broken TCP/IP implementation, then why is this the first report about this? What makes this ISPs infrastructure so different?
