    Sony: I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

  2. Re:Oh boy... on Report Claims Men More Intelligent Than Women · · Score: 1

    Is less sad when men put on a sui and go to work in a world dominated by other men?

  3. Re:Obviously, we *are* more intelligent on Report Claims Men More Intelligent Than Women · · Score: 1

    The real question is: where to find somone with a similar set of (rather obscure) interests. Beeing shy and avarage looking at best does not help at all.

    You didn't read the whole page, Gaim instructions are a little bit down.

  5. Re:opinion and some links on Google Talk Available Early · · Score: 1

    The problem is that talk.google.com does not (yet?) talk with other jabber servers. The good thing is that according to their privacy policy the conversations aren't recorded.

    New enterprise Linux capabilities are also helping early adopters such as Yahoo Inc. venture into new terrain.
    Yahoo an early adopter of Linux?!
    But in December, Yahoo started to port its homegrown infrastructure applications from its custom operating system to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0, which was in beta at the time and was released last week.
    Oh, they just don't know what they are talking about.
  10. Re:FreeBSD on routers? I hope not... on FreeBSD 6.0 to Target Wireless Devices · · Score: 1
    As a user of FreeBSD, I am personally given more freedom than I get as a user of Debian Sarge (I use both).
    If you buy a device with an OS based on Debian there is a high posibility that you will have more personal freedom then with a device with an OS based on FreeBSD.

    My point is that the in the real world guns don't make you unbeatable, so parent had to be talking about some fantasy world where that is the case.

  12. Re:It DOES show the STRENGTH of Open Source on Mambo CMS Dev Team Splits · · Score: 1

    BSD licensed codebases have been forked, MIT/X licensed codebases have been forked and if there would be more public domain codebases I'm sure I would have heard about a fork there too.

    Explain to me EXACTLY how gravity works, will ya? We're still not 100% sure, but I swear that if you jump off a cliff, gravity is the thing responsible for you turning into a pancake.
    I'd say it's mostly speed and a hard ground, both are needed (and gravity only plays part in one of them).

  22. Re:No news is bad news on Wikipedia Used For Apparent Viral Marketing Ploy · · Score: 1

    IMHO it does the oposite. As I see it the article underwent rapid editing in an atempt to make it factual and NPOV, and was completely rewriten to bring it to it's current state (the 'delete' comments are before that, it wouldn't have been a big loss). Both obvious atempts at vandalism have been undone under 2 minutes.

    Note that it was rewriten after those comments and wasn't very useful before that.

    Emulation would suck the battery dry rather fast anyway.
  25. Re:Confused? on Linux For Supervillains · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember that it downloads an installer, but it has been a while... The problem on GNU/Linux is (as always) traced back to non-free software, once (and if) there is a mature free software flash player you can be sure that you won't have to explicitly install it on any desktop distro.
