  1. Re:Stupidity on CherryOS Not All It's Cracked Up To Be · · Score: 1

    >You, sir, are a gutless dingo.

    Ah, spoken like a true Anonymous Coward. I suppose it does 'take one to know one'.

  2. Coup quote: on Robot Eats Flies to Generate Power · · Score: 1

    Throw a dollar in the river and when he jump in,
    if you find he can swim,
    put lead boots on him and do it again!
    You and a friend!
    Videotape and the party don't end!

  3. Re:wtf modded this "insightful"? on Exploring Linux Desktop Myths · · Score: 1
    The example I will continue to use is http://slashdot.org/. When it stops forcing a refresh to fix the sidebar then I will believe Firefox is "acceptable". It's amazing how many Firefox zealots ignore this with a brush off. General Windows users will not.
    What are you talking about? I've been using the same old Mozilla Firebird for quite some time now, reading slashdot daily and I simply haven't noticed anything at all. Is your browser just going blank and reloading occasionally? If not, then wtf are you talking about?
  4. Re:Kiss the BSoD goodbye? on Moving To Linux · · Score: 1

    Um, I'm sorry, but until I got XP a couple of weeks ago, I was still getting the BSOD on win2k once in a while. Some of the folks in my office still do.

  5. Re:What about using the most obvious Nuclear Energ on Creator of the Gaia Hypothesis Urges Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    There is a very simple way to eliminate the demand in 99% of cases for fossil fuels: criminalize their possession.

    If it works in the 'war on (some) drugs', it should work in any scenario, right?

  6. Re:Meh. Innovation, please? on Rhythmbox Gets iPod Support · · Score: 1

    What about arson? I haven't found a comparable cd burning program anywhere. It will convert pretty much any file format you want before burning to cd (audio).

  7. Re:Wait.. on SCO Says It Has No Plan To Sue Linux Companies · · Score: 1

    Yeah, no kidding. I work in a predominantly M$ shop but we've installed 4 Red Hat servers since this thing started. Two of them weren't even my doing.

  8. Robert Anton Wilson on A Good Summer Read? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Good stuff to read before starting your first job. Check out the Illuminatus! trilogy.

  9. is chmod affected by the DMCA? on Sklyarov Case Opens Today · · Score: 1

    I can distribute a program that creates content with the permission bits set to, say 660. If you use chmod to get around that, you are "circumvent[ing] a technological measure set by the copyright owners on their copyrighted data". Does that mean that chmod is illegal?
