  1. Re:... how amazing and awful ... on Thinking About the SnitchCam · · Score: 1

    Why would you feel safer just because you are watched by cameras? Cameras don't protect you when you are beaten up, people do.

  2. Re:Dear stratjakt on Ask Ubuntu Founder (And Astronaut) Mark Shuttleworth · · Score: 1

    Random? Who had that idea?! Why not have preference options for the repositories, or ask the user?

  3. Re:Why Linux? on Ask Ubuntu Founder (And Astronaut) Mark Shuttleworth · · Score: 1

    Why do only one thing? Haiku OS is in the works, should we all just use the MS OS until than?

    Isn't a Theora encoder for Unix enough? It's aplha, but they say the files will be upwards compatible.

  5. Re:Why on earth would anyone use WMV or WMA? on SMPTE Adoption Of WMV9 Hits Some Snags · · Score: 1

    Quicktime isn't a codec.

  6. Re:It's called "slang" on SMPTE Adoption Of WMV9 Hits Some Snags · · Score: 1

    The theft is the second case comes from the fact that usualy the infringer claims copyright even though he does not had it. The thing stolen is the copyright itself, so to say.

    I hate all touchpads and the like (haven't used an iPod, but should be the same), the problem is lack of tactile feedback except for the drag on your finger.

    AFAIK they still made obscene amounts of cash.

  23. Re:For that level of performance... on Free Software Friendly Graphics Card? · · Score: 1

    I had a RADEON 7000. Yes, both 2d and 3d drivers, but 3d performance was about the same as software rendering (!) and what's worse maximum pixel size was 1 (imposible to work with vertexes in Wings3D) and in Blender when in hide invisible mode visible things were sometimes invisible and invisible visible, a apain. With a heavy heart I bought a cheap GeFroce yesterday. If I could replace it with a card that has "good enough" free software drivers in a year or two, it would be excelent.

  24. Re:It's like a free ride when you've already paid. on GTA: San Andreas Leaked · · Score: 1

    Printing press? Other publishers could do it, that's why they needed monopolies on copying. With the advaances in technology the whole thing is falling appart no matter if you think it's "stealing" or not.
