  1. XFree86 should be GPL on Open Source causes more Harm than Good? · · Score: 0

    Why should they dump their perfectly acceptable license just to use yours? So much for "freedom".

  2. Common misconception on the GNU GPL? on "The Ultimate Argument Against Linux" · · Score: 1

    So much for software freedom.. demanding that you turn YOUR project into a GPL-polluted project.

  3. Linux derived from another OS??? on Slate Takes on Linux · · Score: 0

    Wow, great way for YOU to look stupid. Linux was a project originally derived from Minix code.

  4. MP3 Ain't All That on MP3s Causing Decline in CD Sales? · · Score: 1

    Huh? What are you smoking? They have analog and digital (optical) input. What more do you want? Get a real soundcard for your computer; the higher end ones now have a TOSLink connector on them for digital reproduction.

  5. BSD on iMac Linux · · Score: 1

    The NetBSD group has had much success in netbooting (and locally booting now) both rev A and B iMacs with NetBSD/macppc.

  6. USB? on iMac Linux · · Score: 2

    USB is (and has been) working fine under NetBSD.

  7. Grow up on Apple and Palm Computing: Take 2? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and with them holding a gun to your head, you have no choice but to use their hardware and software? *eye roll*

  8. Oh good. on Apple and Palm Computing: Take 2? · · Score: 1

    Just as a note, Libretto's run FreeBSD with the PAO modifications as well.

  9. Much ado about something on Apple's Open Source Stew · · Score: 1

    Wow, another person who obviously didn't read the license. Look people, this is simple. If you don't like the license, get on with your life and don't use the code. Grow up.

  10. Much ado about nothing. on Apple's Open Source Stew · · Score: 0

    If you don't care to use it, STOP YOUR DAMNED WHINING and get on with your life. Someone with half a brain will read the license instead of just listening to what people say about it.

  11. Kernel-of-the-week Club on Linux 2.2.4 · · Score: 1

    Aren't you people tired of recompiling a new kernel every week?

  12. Oracle stability and speed vs. NT or solaris on Ask Slashdot: On Oracle and Linux · · Score: 1

    And then watch as the Intel-based machine chokes starving for bandwidth between CPU, memory, and your SCSI bus. Moral? You get what you pay for.

  13. Why Linux? on Ask Slashdot: On Oracle and Linux · · Score: 1

    Sort of, and not on all SPARC hardware. Don't let your religion pull wool over your eyes.

  14. People in some countries get free domain names!! on InterNIC Redesign · · Score: 1

    Clueless monkey, .US is free. US is still maintained by the IANA who has delegated most of the actual DNS away to various other organizations around the country. For instance, I maintain quite a few local city and town domains for NO cost.

  15. ESR helped write the APSL? on Response to the APSL · · Score: 1

    Oh please, I certainly hope Apple doesn't slide down the slippery slope of the not-truely-free GPL. Besides, what's wrong with putting the license you want on your code?

  16. Netscape a pioneer, IBM a hero, Apple sux? on Response to the APSL · · Score: 1

    Then stop whining. As was said before, put up or shut up. I'm sure there are enough people out there who can stop whining long enough to provide something useful.

  17. I can't. It's against company policy! on The Danger of License Termination Clauses · · Score: 1

    Maybe the company is trying to protect themselves and their investments?

  18. so why are there still only 7-10 million users? on 70,000 copies of Linux hit India · · Score: 1

    Prove there are more than 7-10 million users, and maybe the media will pick up on it. Until then, they will continue to use that number as truth. Besides, how do you know that number wasn't inflated back then, and it's actually true now? Oh, and site sources please, not idle speculation.

  19. We need to demonstrate Linux interest... on Playstation2 Low-Down · · Score: 1

    Uhh.. Why?

  20. Very good for GTK+ and BeOS. on GTK/Gimp Coming to Be? · · Score: 1

    As long as it doesn't duplicate any ugly "look-and-feel" crap from Windows or what I've seen of GTK+ applications under X11. BeOS's GUI is simple and clean; don't ruin that please.

  21. Solaris = Linux + addons on Sun plans open source Solaris? · · Score: 1

    Please, dear God no. Those of us using Solaris and find that it works just fine the way it is pray that this doesn't happen.
