  1. Compromise and compassion on The Tech Support Generation · · Score: 1

    I don't have the lack of heart to force my rents into Linux. Life is about compromise. They both use Firefox. My father gave his best shot with adapting to OpenOffice but it didn't work out. I was happy to see that he tried. My mother uses Kodak photo crap for her camera. She loves it and I have no inclination toward upsetting her groove. She has a Windows 98 machine but she listens to my precautions. It results in minor technical support during the holidays.

    Linux does not equal Open Source Software. I've got lots of people sold on Open Source but until Linux is painless in the area of printing and wireless, I'm the only one that will have a Linux petition. Getting people to understand Open Source and using Firefox (not Thunderbird) to keep the concept simple is the path to cracking Microsoft's dominance.

    Linux is currently a little too cruel to stick on the folks. Without a doubt, they showed me the same compassion in many areas growing up.

  2. Fan on Is The 'CSI Phenomenon' Good For Science? · · Score: 2, Funny
    correct you are.


    The AC is obviously a fan of Yoda.


    There are no commercials in Star Wars.

  3. Why (x5), Mr. Anderson? on Netscape Reborn? · · Score: 1

    Netscape developers are smoking crack. Nobody is in the mood for another corporate anal retracting, spyware planting browser.

  4. Re:barcode on Students Tracked By RFID · · Score: 4, Funny
    If you want to track people, why not just tattoo a bar code on the forehead.


    Because the barcode tattoo is _so_ 1984.

  5. Re:The reason why linux isn't strong on the deskto on United Linux: Two Years Later · · Score: 1

    The main reason why I don't use Linux on my desktop is GAMES.


    That's nice but the real reason Linux is not on the desktop is because of DRIVERS. Primarily, printer drivers and wireless network card drivers.

  6. Re:Put this in your metadata and smoke it on Ham and Software - Communities of Creativity? · · Score: 1

    Or just some ho-hos and Coke in a can.

  7. Re:Dumb question... on Novell Pulls Out Their Ace Against SCO · · Score: 1
    SCO are haemoraging cash in fashion that would put the most ridiculous dot.coms to shame.

    Even Dr. "Kung fu" Koop.com?

  8. Re:hmm... on FCC Rules States Can't Regulate VoIP · · Score: 1
    I'd rather have state regulation than fed.
    If you disagree with a state's law(s) you can always move to another;
    with fed's your just fucked.


    How old are you? Are you aware of the cost of moving to another state? You make it sound like a choice between various cheeses.

  9. Re:Bandwidth... on Videoblog Revolution · · Score: 4, Funny
    Bandwidth.... and nobody cares.


    Of course, the second issue kind of takes care of the first. Based on the quality of most letter-blogs out there, I suspect that the vast majority of videoblogs could be safely co-hosted from a single Commodore 64 and a 300-baud modem.


    That's just a cruel way to treat a Commodore 64 with a 300 baud modem. This equipment had nothing to do with the assclown videoblog crowd. :)

  10. Bandwidth... on Videoblog Revolution · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... and nobody cares.

    Two excellent reasons why videoblogging is a nonstarter.

  13. Re:I cant beleive this on Competition Fosters Next Generation Of Linux Talent · · Score: 1

    Spelling errors don't really register with me anymore until some loser starts to talk about intelligence, structured programming or, in this case, the value of attending a university.

    Forget being AC. It's open season on these idiots as far as I'm concerned.

  14. Re:What I'm wondering is... on The Rise of Open-Source Politics · · Score: 1

    That is precisely what we should be doing. This article is a case of terminal cranio-rectal inversion. Our political system was "open source" until electronic voting got into the middle of it. Until we have the actual definition of open source in our political system, this space cadet has no business discussing the philosophical nature of open source in our political system.

  15. Re:What I'm wondering is... on The Rise of Open-Source Politics · · Score: 2, Funny

    How do you compile open source politics?

  16. You are a _loser_ on U.S. Continues Opposition to Kyoto Environmental Treaty · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    Signing the treaty will loose 5 million jobs, and millions of dollars in Bush's (and friends') pockets via the oil industry. Whereas outsourcing only looses 5 million jobs, but has no ill effect on him and his buddies...so why should he give a crap about outsourcing if it doesn't effect their bank accounts.

    Maybe AOL should get into the router/firewall business?


    Maybe AOSmell should just knock it off with making people use Internet Exploder.

    This is good for internal use as far as corporations are concerned but public use makes it a tool for misinformation and disinformation.

  21. Ultimate? on Mac OS X Panther On A 25MHz Centris 650 · · Score: 5, Funny

    If "has done the ultimate" equates to "has smoked crack" then, sure, it's the ultimate.

    And call it what: Lesbian Hat, Lesbiantoo, Lesbiandrake, Lesbianutu, Lesbianian?

    In their respective order...

    --more pleasing to the imagination than "asshat."
    --too many useless toys for the average observer.
    --orders of magnitude better than the original.
    --lesbians for all.

    A more important question is: "After putting two hot chicks on the login screen, why did you have to ruin that picture with the dude? Have you considered a Lesbian-based distribution?"

    I went strictly Firefox about seven months ago, and for the last few months have not even had the IE icon available on my desktop or in my menus.
