  2. Re:Why NOT? on OpenBSD Activism Shows Drivers Can Be Freed · · Score: 1

    Lawsuits claiming firearms manufacturers are liable for murderer's actions comes to mind.

    thats really strange - what are you supposed to do with firearms if not kill someone???

  3. Re:Addressing on What Makes Apple's Power Mac G5 Processor So Hot · · Score: 2, Informative

    The classic IA32 (aka x86) only has 32Bit for addressing memory (w/o using any evil hacks).
    AA64 (aka AMD64/EMT64) uses an incompatible new addressing mode to use 64Bit pointers (though it can operate in 32Bit compatibility mode, too)

  4. Re:MacOSX port on Netatalk 2.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    in fact there is a port of netatalk for Darwin/OS-X already;

  5. Hedgren stuff rocks on Advice On Notebook Backpacks? · · Score: 1

    I've got a Hedgren backpack with a notebook compartment and - though not being affiliated to Hedgren - this rucksack rocks.
    Its not from the most recent collection, though these seem to be very similar.
    You can stuff a big binder, pens and a pad, your notebook and it's cables inside and still have some space left for your lunch pack...

  6. Re:Ballmer and FUD? Who would have thought?! on Ballmer Says iPod Users are Thieves · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I suspect that Windows users have - at average - more stolen mp3 files than Mac users.

  7. Re:Huh? on Freescale Debuts Faster, Cooler G4 · · Score: 1

    oh come on! Mod parent up!

    The G4s are named PPC7xxx by Motorola/Freescale, the G5 from IBM is a PPC9xx.
    You bet that if Motorola would've brought something like the PPC8xxx it would be named G5 now.

  8. Re:Utility computing on Xbox Modchip Featuring Onboard Operating System · · Score: 1

    If you only need a cheap computer with an ethernet interface, the xbox is unbeatable!
    Over here in Europe, the xbox is now sold for just Euro150.

    gcc works absolutely fine here on Darwin/PPC...

  11. Re:Adopt the euro, pay the same price... on iTunes(UK) Targeted By The Office of Fair Trading · · Score: 1

    The taxes on fuel in Germany are equally ridiculous: We almost pay Euro 1.20 for one liter (with an exchange rate of 1.46 your price per liter is about Euro 1.17).
    At least our politicians are creative about names for the taxes on fuel: its not just sales tax but "Environmental Tax"..

  12. blame the UK government on iTunes(UK) Targeted By The Office of Fair Trading · · Score: 4, Insightful

    for not replacing the pound by the Euro.
    I assume that the prices in Germany and France are the same, because they have the same currency.

    btw Apple hardware is much cheaper in the US than in Europe - how about complaining on this?

  13. Re:The way of the horse? on The Death of the Floppy Disk · · Score: 1

    So when will see the first floppy disk based contest at Olympia?

  15. Re:Are you kidding me? on OpenBSD Vulnerabilty · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "I haven't been affected by even one microsoft vulnerability"

    Think this should be "I haven't yet noticed of being affected by even one"

  16. Re:Perspective is skewed.. on Real Feels iTunes Backlash · · Score: 4, Insightful

    woha, hold on pal! even more closed than M$???

    I dont know where you took this wisdom from, but Apple's base system and kernel are open source, they released e. g. Rendezvous as open source, help sqash bugs in e. g. mono etc.
    But that gets beaten by M$ releasing a Windows installer thingamabob as open source...

  17. Re:Just Call them Boulder and Little Rock on Two New Saturnian Moons · · Score: 1

    we'll have to wait for names for the moons, till NASA sells the naming rights on ebay...

    Perhaps they'll get named Bill and Miranda?

    he got the RSA key - its probably from a debugging session of iTunes on Windows;

  19. Re:Language? on EuroBSDCon 2004 Early Registration Begins · · Score: 1

    I suppose as the titles of the tutorials are in English, the tutorials will be, too.
    As Jordan Hubbard spoke some years ago on EuroBSD, I expect that at least some speakers will speak english - at least Jordans German is still far from perfect...

    CPUs really do not crash. They may get hotter or whatever, but they do not crash - why did parent got modded down?

  21. Re:More Slashdot Flamebait? on EM64T Xeon vs. Athlon 64 under Linux (AMD64) · · Score: 1
    If you don't want CPU choices, get a Mac!
    1. you can buy Macs with either IBM or Motorola CPU(s)
    2. If you use Linux or NetBSD you can see PowerPC as a third option besides AA64, IA64 and IA32 (and perhaps others)

  25. Re:Explain something! on FreeBSD 5.3 on the Horizon · · Score: 1

    It is quite funny to have a Microkernel with a really big module (the FreeBSD kernel) that handles networking, I/O etc.;
    But a microkernel with a crashed I/O service is of no big use anyway...
