  1. Re:well on Firefox Improves Pop-Up Ad Blocking · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Do you mean ads or pop-up ads? I find the former usually ok and don't block them actively (and rather pay to get them removed if the site is worth it...) but IMHO there is no excuse to open windows (or tabs) in my browser I didn't request. The annoyance level is much much higher.

  2. Re:Bought my iPod Mini on Monday on Some iPod Fans Dump PCs For Macs · · Score: 1
    I've been truly stunned at just how nice, and helpful, people in the "Apple Community" tend to be.

    Hmm, the correct term should probably be "MacOS Community", otherwise people running Linux on Apple might not know where they belong...

    We're the real minority here ;)

  3. Someone you could ask, too: debian-lex on Open Source Apps for a Law Office? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In Debian there is at least one guy who tries to collect information about FOSS for laywers, see the website of debian-lex project. There is also a mailing list available (with public archive). Perhaps it is worthwile to ask there, too.

  4. Release Notes way too bloated on Mozilla 1.4 RC3 Is Out · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I wish they would only put in the release notes the changes between RC2 and RC3 (and not between 1.3 and 1.4). Every time I read the release notes for the different RC's I get a strong dejavu. Must I really begin to diff them?

  5. Re:assumptions on Quantum Cryptography: 100km Barrier Broken · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Hmm, physical laws are actually not facts...

    They are more best explanations for which no counterevidence exists yet or explanations that describe the problem as good as needed

  6. Re:Wait... on FoxPro On Linux, Drama Ensues · · Score: 1

    Lots of free software runs on Windows - gcc + toolchain, Mozilla, the Gimp, emacs and on and on...

    Yeah. I have to work on one Windows PC sometimes, due to some MS-Access database. But every time I'm thankfull for the people out there that made it possible to run my good ol' X under cygwin even on that PC.

    When will MS at last start sponsoring WINE? ;)
