  1. Re:Ooh! Selective comparison... on Linux vs. Windows: What's The Difference? · · Score: 1

    The cheap version of SuSE (the one i use) costs zero ($0)

    No! I'm lying! It costed me the price to burn boot.iso into a CD and perform a net-install.

  2. Re:I'm not going to pay for it because.. on Playing Nice: Reviews of CrossOver Office, WineX 4 · · Score: 1

    that's not substantial! that's "extremely substantial" :P

    ok, i stand corrected, they have contributed stuff, fine, but the D3D stuff is basical for (D3D)games, and it's closed source :(

    what do you consider substantial?

  5. Re:Coming events on New IE Malware Captures Passwords Ahead Of SSL · · Score: 1

    You're a fool for using your office computer to do online banking. Haven't you ever heard of a keycatcher?

    There's nothing wrong with that if you use Knoppix

  7. Re:KDE klipper... on Dealing with the Unix Copy and Paste Paradigm? · · Score: 1

    All the apps that i use doesn't show the problem you're describing. So it's more like Firefox messing itself when Klipper is around, not Klipper slowing Firefox.

    And i agree with grandparent post: Klipper solves the problem verrrry nicely

  8. Re:They got it backwards on Sun Says Hardware Will Be Free · · Score: 1

    Heh... mixing both opinions, hardware and software will be free...
    Will you have to keep paying electricity bill or that will be free too?

  9. Re:WTF? on Browser Wars Mark II · · Score: 2, Informative

    1.- Konqueror identifies itself as "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko)"
    2.- The kdebindings3-mozilla package description that comes with my distribution states that "The Mozilla WEB browser can used inside of the Konqueror. Usually the KHTML class is used to browse the WEB."

    Haven't tried the 2nd since i like Konqueror/KHTML more than Mozilla...

  10. Re:Fraud prevention - anonymous proxies disallowed on Paypal Deals Blow To Freenet · · Score: 1

    "Any of the following events may lead to your account being limited: " "item xvii (Use of an anonymizing proxy;)"

    But is this meant as "Use of an anonymizing proxy for accessing PayPal"
    Or is a general prohibition of the "Use of an anonymizing proxy" in your computer at all?

    Freenet people think is the second, and PayPal is giving no explanation, so...

    Honestly, it shouldn't be much of a problem with spreading:
    (...) - but the closely shorn turf on a golf course is never allowed to grow tall enough to flower.


    So, if the golf-course gets closed somehow and no maintenance is done then there is no safeguard to prevent grass from spreading?

  15. Re:economists != laywers on Study: MP3 Sharing Not Serious Threat To CD Sales · · Score: 1

    on the topic of lawyers, why are there none that will stand up against the RIAA behemoth

    Maybe because RIAA is a top client of said lawyers with all their silly lawsuits?

  16. Re:Its still piracy on Study: MP3 Sharing Not Serious Threat To CD Sales · · Score: 5, Funny

    It is not piracy. Piracy involves boarding and stealing ships in the sea with the casual murder of people.

    It's called copyright infringement. Escape the common (publicity induced and totally unfair) misconceptions...

  17. Re:How Much to dev with? on Novell Desktop To Standardize On Qt [updated] · · Score: 3, Informative

    developing an application against Qt/Windows, Qt/Mac, or Qt/Embedded. (Even if you're not distributing it.) (These versions are not available under the GPL at all.)

    a correction:
    Qt/Mac and Qt/Embedded are available under the GPL:

    It seems it's just the Winblows version which isn't GPL'd

  18. Re:Terraforming - why? on Mars Terraforming Debate · · Score: 1

    Maybe you can get oxygen melting the water ice, and nitrogen from the soil somehow?

    I think the problem would be low gravity there (3,71m/s^2), could that hold an earth-like athmosphere?
    And, could we earthlings live confortably in such conditions (low grav, low temperatures, low solar input...)?

    If not, then, why terraform?
