  1. Re:Lotta Chatter: Orange Alert! on XM Radio Pulls PC Hardware · · Score: 1

    The equipment costs about $120 US, and the subscription is priced at $9.99/month.

  2. Re:Let TCO wars begin.. on Former Windows Chief on Microsoft Vs. Open-Source · · Score: 1
    At night Linux servers often grow robot arms and robot legs, trash your office, and leave beer cans around.
    That was the servers?

    Mike told me that he did that! I'm going to fire that lying bastard!!
  3. Re:An important difference on Linux vs. Windows: What's The Difference? · · Score: 1
    Mingw provides a bourne again shell for windows.
    I think DJGPP also provides a bash port. Whether it's a replacement for command.com or it just runs on top of the normal shell, I don't know. I do know that they also provide some ports of other GNU utilities.
  4. Re:Introducing the latest nazi type ... *drums* .. on Paypal Deals Blow To Freenet · · Score: 1

    Actually, the Aryans probably came from the area just south of the Caspian Sea. They migrated from there into Europe and India.
    Weather(sp?) or not they actually invaded those areas is being debated.

    Prove it.

  6. Re:Running Scared like all the politicians. on U.S. Plans Targeted Draft for Computer Personnel · · Score: 1
    You can't vote for an outsider, they won't win
    This is exactly the kind of attitude that is putting American politics(and America in general) down the shitter. If people voted for who they wanted to win, I'll bet there wouldn't be as many corrupt morons in Congress.

    Or maybe I'm wrong...

    No, no. Liquid nitrogen cutters.

    Sorry, but you have to subscribe to read the whole article...

  8. Re:Syntax, OS interfaces... on Learning Computer Science via Assembly Language · · Score: 1

    You're forgetting about HLA. I hear it's great for beginning ASM programmers (never tried it myself, so I can't give a review).

  9. Re:Apple anyone? on Review of Silent 400w Power Supply · · Score: 1

    I think he means that IBM (assuming they still have any control over PC standards) should have the next form factor design incorporate a G5 style power supply.

  10. Re:Don't give in to Apple's lies. on Steve Jobs and the State of Legal Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    Are you the same guy who made rediculous parallels between Open Source software and Satanism somewhere else? I'm starting to wonder if you're a troll.

  11. Re:Bonus content on Steve Jobs and the State of Legal Music Downloads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, but that could be ripped from the CD, just like music. The proposed idea was to include physical bonuses- things that could be had only by buying the disc.

  12. Re:I agree completely. on "Forking" Greatest Danger of Adopting Open Source? · · Score: 1

    I think ClintJCL was referring to desktop market penetration. That's the single biggest hurdle that UNIX and derivitives have to jump.

  13. Re:Raises interesting questions on Nanotechnology: Are Molecular Assemblers Possible? · · Score: 1

    At the rate we're going, yes. But at the rate we're going, the country will descend into civil war soon after. Or we'll be sheep and I'll be out of here.

  14. Re:Needs works on Google Blocks 'Optimized' Pages · · Score: 1

    Also at Wikipedia- a link to this incredibly disturbing photograph.

  15. Re:Can you say, "Pump and Dump"? on SCO Calls GPL Unenforceable, Void · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Lots of people object to the war with Iraq, and not just because they didn't want to remove a brutal dictator.

    Some are pacifists. Some didn't want to go to war for our unfounded fears. And many (including myself) think we should have finished what we started in Afghanistan. Just look what's happening there now...

  16. Re:I hate to be so pessimistic/cynical but... on FTAA Treaty Threatens Innovation · · Score: 1

    That "legal monopoly on force" part gives me an idea. What if we had two seperate and independent governments ruling the same state and competing for citizens and tax dollars? It's not like the current party system (which shares control over the same voter base), it would be more like political capitalism- you use the govenment you like best. Yes, it requires some serious hammering out(law enforcement would require some work), but I think this might actually work.

  17. Re:McDonald's frivolous coffee lawsuit on EFF Reviews 5 Years Under The DMCA · · Score: 1

    That wasn't the problem. The problem was, Stella sued McDonald's for HER OWN STUPIDITY! She exploited the legal system for her own personal gain. She forced many companies to put liability waviers for things that no sane person would do, for example, this tag found on an iron: "Do not iron clothes while they are on body". And she created an exploitation movement, which is documented at the Stella Awards.

    In prison?

    Excuse my ignorance, but could you fill me in on his crime(s)?

  19. Re:Partial birth abortion on EFF Reviews 5 Years Under The DMCA · · Score: 1

    This may be a troll, but I'm going to take the bait. That has to be the worst analogy I've seen on Slashdot, ever. A tooth is very easy to remove through the mouth, but removing a fetus with the type of birth defects that the great-grandparent talked about through the vagina is an incredibly dangerous procedure. Partial birth abortion allows a dead/dying fetus to be safely removed.

  20. Re:Partial birth abortion on EFF Reviews 5 Years Under The DMCA · · Score: 1
    Now the mother has no choice but to push an object roughly twenty inches wide through her vagina.
    Umm... Have you ever heard of a Caesarean section?
    Don't get me wrong, I'm aganst this law as much as you are. But you just need to get your arguments straight. Yes, C-section is not as safe as partial-birth abortion, but it is an alternative in case it holds up in court.
  21. What's the big deal? on U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List · · Score: 1

    Why do we need a do-not-call list in the first place? If telemarketers call you, just tell them not to call again. They can't legally call you back for 10 years. If they do, you get to make your own phone call- to the FTC.

  22. Re:I, for one, welcome our... on Justice Department Proud of Patriot Act Slippery Slope · · Score: 1

    I find them too much to the religious right. You might want to try the Revolution. No, it's not advocating radical government changes, but their platform perfectly matches my political views. Might match yours, too.

    You wouldn't anymore, and that's the point. Serial mice are obsolete.

    For the moment, I'm assuming that you are not joking. A serial mouse is one you plug into a serial port. Not useful today...

    All that crap is probably adware/spyware. Try downloading Ad-Aware and see what it turns up. You will be suprised at what you find...
