  1. Re:Nice. on Xbox Linux Cluster · · Score: 1

    X-Box cluster? big deal...now, if someone can figure out what I can do with these old Sega Dreamcast systems, now that would be something...

    Hanven't you been keeping up? THIS week is Apple's week for threatening litigation, NEXT week is MS's...sheesh!

  3. Re:But, gosh... on Sen. Feingold Reintroduces Radio Competition Bill · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Reminds me of the latest QOTSA CD. "K-L-O-N, we sound more like everyone else....than ANYONE else!" Seriously, folks, does anyone still listen to the radio? All talk in the morning...because nothing gets me going in the AM like people describing naked people in the studio. All repetative all the rest of the time. Do I REALLY need to hear Christina and Britney 42 times an hour? I was thinking about getting XM radio, but, then I remembered I own a CD changer in my car, and the last two braincells left in my head after hearing Stern that morning kicked me in the A$$. Radio has become a vast, barron wasteland. The consolidation of the Radio industry combined with the ultimate greed of the record industry has resulted, inmho, in a collective assimilation of sounds on the airwaves. Too bad, too. There are so many great new (and old) artists out there that will never be heard by an appreciable audience. Where is Chrisitian Slater's pirate radio station van when you need it?

  7. It's already happened! on Lifetime Careers in IT? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Plenty of my friends and ex-coworkers have retired more than just wealthy...some are millionaires. Some got lucky and sold their stock or options at just the right time, others were overpaid to begin with and were able to invest wisely. I am well on my way, but, I am no fortune teller. Can it happen? You bet! Will it happen to me, well, I can only be so lucky.

    right, nevermind proprietary OS's, apple has proprietary chips, etc...not exactly "for the masses"

  12. Re:counterproductive on Ark Linux · · Score: 1

    If it isn't the technology that kills us, it's the ideology. Competition is great, but, at what cost? I understand the need for a home based product, but, I still believe that the tools are already there with the distros we have. A "home" edition of RH or Mandrake is a better solution, in my book. One code tree, shared common libs, one distro, one installer. This sounds much easier to me, both to maintain and write for. Ehh, what do I know? ;)

  13. Re:Four years and half too late. on Ark Linux · · Score: 1

    right right, because *ix os's never have any problems, all the code is perfect, and there are never any bugs or faults. Only Windows software ever fails, and only Windows machines lock up. Right. blah, blah, blah. How about putting more efort into making what we already have better. I think KDE is great, and could be a wonderful desktop with just some minor tweaks here and there depending on what environment you use it in. Some creative new shell additions and a better installer is where we should start. I will never understand why eveyone needs to create a new distro at the drop of a (red)hat.

  14. Re:What? on Ark Linux · · Score: 1

    No kidding. Wasn't an easy to use desktop Mandrake's Raison d'etre? I'm confused... There are easy to use distros already in existance, let's focus on making them even easier to use, not making another distro. Fragmentation is killing linux.

    Hmm, that site looks pretty secure, huh? ;) Are they running IIS? Anyway, I guess "easy to use" and "secure" are mutually exclusive over at Ark.

    You have got to be kidding. I wish I could be a millionaire "idiot" like Billg. Then again, what kind of comment should we expect from someone that still uses a dollar sign in MS? And what is stopping people from obtaining Sun's JVM anyway? (except, maybe, their incredibly user-unfriendly website???)
