  1. Re:They have it running on a mac on QuakeCon id Software Keynote Coverage · · Score: 1

    Or just buy an Xbox. $199 Canadian. Lots cheaper than a decent video card for a Mac. Sure, there are tradeoffs, but just think of how many more games you'd be able to play with a real system meant for gaming!

  2. Re:Good Idea on McBride Says No More Lawsuits From SCO · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually, my employer is about to launch a pilot test to move the top 7 most critical systems from SCO to SUSE Linux. Thankfully, I'm going to have some involvement in it personally.

    They told me that the move had to wait until they saw what would become of the SCO lawsuits, and I guess they've decided that SCO basically was a flop and they aren't scared anymore.

  3. Xbox on Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations · · Score: 1

    Yup, I read /. on my Xbox using that linksBox or whatever it's called.

  4. Re:whew... on Gates: Open Source Kills Jobs · · Score: 1

    Who would subscribe to free software? Well, there are some Lindows/Linspire users out there, aren't there?

  5. Re:Even More Importantly on Doom 3's Release Date; Quake Turns 8 · · Score: 1

    Runs good on my Xbox.

  6. This doesn't work for me... on FireFox and Longhorn: Meant For Each Other? · · Score: 1

    I tried doing this with no luck.

    Repeat doesn't work for me. I need the GoTo statement, and even then, the periods after each line number totally throws off QBASIC, nevermind that none of those words are actual commands.

    Must be psuedocode or something.

  7. Re:didn't they just announce... on Red Hat Desktop Unveiled · · Score: 1

    I'm still trying to figure out why I would waste $5/month on something that isn't Debian.

  8. left out again on New Windows Worm on the Loose · · Score: 1

    I wish they'd port this to Linux so I get to use this worm.

    Oh, maybe WineX will run it?

  9. Debian Woody on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 1

    1 - screen 2 - bzip2 3 - wget 4 - less 5 - gcc 6 - libncurses5-dev 7 - make 8 - kernel-package 9 - [updated linux kernel] 10 - [dist-upgrade to Sid]

  10. Re:Won't Nintendo have a DMCA hissy fit? on Overclocking your Gameboy Advance · · Score: 1

    I have reported eBay fraud to them by both telephone and email, and they really don't seem to give a damn...

  11. Re:For women? on Linux Spreads its Wings · · Score: 1

    Hmm.. I was thinking about this sort of thing the other day... I remember when all the commercials were propping up their pads, stating how thin and narrow they were, and now, the same companies are promoting thicker, wider pads because the thin, narrow ones don't provide as much "protection." Geez, it's sorta like how Norton write viruses to keep their Antivirus software selling.

  12. Not a surprise.... on MP3.com Archive Not Lost (1.7 Million Songs Saved) · · Score: 1

    Our records indicate that one or more of your songs currently is enrolled in the truSONIC Music Program. If you want to keep that music enrolled in the truSONIC Music Program and permit truSONIC to consider using that music on truSONIC music playlists in the future, you do not need to take any action at this time.

    If, on the other hand, you would prefer to remove all your music from the truSONIC Music Program, you may do so by clicking here.


    This was sent out to all MP3.com artists in December.

  13. Re:Very curious... on New Windows Vulnerability in Help System · · Score: 1

    Not sure if FireFox is being tested on Windows or not, but this is in the advisory:

    NOTE: Using an alternate web browser may not mitigate this vulnerability. It may be possible for a web browser other than IE on a Windows system to invoke IE to handle ITS protocol URLs.

  14. Re:Linux of course costs less on Linux in Canada · · Score: 1

    You forgot: That Canada that burned the White House down in 1812!

  15. Re:Fine, whtever. on Gates on Winsecurity · · Score: 0

    Fate rolled the dice. It rolled a 6.

  16. So one possible solution... on PIRATE Act Introduced in Congress · · Score: 1

    ...would be to have a lot of bands record covers of all the popular songs, and then just trade those cover songs on P2P networks... If the covers are done right, they'll sound pretty good, and often times close enough to the original, that we could fight back at the RIAA in this manner... Let's all contribute a song... Mine is a cover of Zao's 5 Year Winter. You can find it at http://rivir.tk/ but be warned, it sucks. I'm redoing the vocals sometime soon too, since they sound whispered... But anyhow, that's my idea. Who's with me?

  17. Hey, it's not that far-fetched!!! on Royal Linux PDA Finally Coming To Market · · Score: 1

    I have this picture of Neverwinter Nights running on a Palm Pilot and it's only what, a few GB or so?

  18. Re:No, on Andreesssen: Why Open Source Will Boom - in 103 Words · · Score: 1

    They're also consistent in surrendering.

  19. Re:may I be the first to say on FCC to Regulate 'Profane' Speech · · Score: 1

    It's pretty sad and hypocritical for so-called Christians to cause others to feel that way.

  20. Solution on End of Online Anonymity in Canada? · · Score: 1

    Be the pimp.

  21. Re:I hope not on Return of the King Coming Sooner to DVD · · Score: 1

    You could spend your whole life waiting to spend your money. Or you can have immediate satisfaction by blowing it now. I see you have made your choice.

  22. Re:why? on Toward a New Kind of Linux Distribution · · Score: 1

    And so why can't you just use Debian, and then if you want source compilation, tell apt to build the packages from source?

  23. Re:Does this mean... on Rome Moving to Linux · · Score: 1

    Yep. At least that's what the department says...

  24. Red Hat on Y Window System Project Started · · Score: 1

    Even if Red Hat is the standard, didn't they state that they don't agree with the new license of X, and that they will work with Debian, Mandrake, et al, in order to get something else working? If so, then this is a good time for someone to point them all to Y.

  25. Re:welcome to the year 2000. on Lindows becomes Lindash · · Score: 1

    The sad thing is that I already knew that.

    I guess it's not so sad, because the only reason I knew is from watching An Evening With Kevin Smith.
