  1. Why not somewhere more exciting? PC World??!? on Google Opens First Retail Outlet In London · · Score: 0

    Want to generate buzz? Give the space to starving artists (errmmm hipsters) in east London and get them to do the pop up shop for you. Get them to showcase their art too using the chromebooks. Isn't Google's brand usually perceived as way cooler than PC Word!?!? I would have thought so...

  2. Re:Desktop Linux on Torvalds on Where Linux is Headed in 2008 · · Score: 1, Informative

    Although you are right, it does mean snot in Spanish, this isn't something that is necessarily exposed to the end-user. OpenMoko is the platform, which most regular users don't care about. *Most* people buy Nokia/Sony Ericsson/whatever without thinking of the platform. They buy an N80, M600, etc. Just as it would would be a Neo1973 in the case of OpenMoko.

  3. "back over 40 million years" on Giant Penguins Once Roamed Peru · · Score: 1, Funny

    whoa! that was definitely the year of the linux desktop!

  4. Re:All the more reason... on Kororaa Accused of Violating GPL · · Score: 0

    could you please give some examples of the cards that have full 3d acceleration with open sourced drivers?

  5. One public IP? on Caveats In Reselling DSL Bandwidth To Neighbors? · · Score: 0

    Just a question... How extactly does this work for you? One public IP and everything else private (your neibours)? ay potential illegal activity (from anyone within your LAN) will point to *your* IP. Is that right? Then that would mean keeping excellent logs, etc etc. No?

  6. yeah nineties on ASUS Barebones: Multimedia Even Sans Hard Drive · · Score: 0

    go back to ninety one... ohhh what a nice stereo. the more colorful lights, the better. this thing is just plain ugly. no style whatsoever.

  7. who wants to troll now? on Flash Mob Gang Warfare · · Score: 0

    haha... gives it a whole new meaning on how to solve trolling on slashdot.

  8. nautilus rant on Nicholas Petreley Slams Gnome · · Score: 0

    i understand that there are many reasons why gnome devs chose the spatial nautilus. i also understand that gnome is trying to compete with windows (or macs.. who knows...) to steal its users. however, what does not make sense is that spatial nautilus is not intuitive to any the users coming from those other platforms. in fact, it is very likely to annoy them. yes, this can be disabled using gconf-editor, but we are talking about first impressions here. anoying things are very likely to send users back to windows when trying something new.

  9. Re:The Novell Connection on Mono Project Releases Beta 1 · · Score: 0

    not necessarily. some things, such as winforms make native win32 calls, which is why winelib is being used to run winforms on linux. tuco

  10. screw away... on A Family IT/Tech Business?? · · Score: 0

    at least you get to screw the secretary without all the legal side effects!

  11. yes but... on Sharing IT Problems with Executives? · · Score: 0

    i think sharing problems with the guys up there isn't so bad as long as you go there with the attitude:

    "this is what is happening. here's a good plan to tackle the problem. this is how we can avoid such problem from happening in the future. this is how... etc etc."

  12. here's your discount!!!! on Finding Holiday Discounts on iPods? · · Score: 0

    go to best buy, buy an ipod at full price. bring it back the next day. say you had some compatibility issues with your motherboard or some crap like that. give some money to your buddy and tell him/her to buy the openbox item!!! there's your big discount!

    solved.

  14. staroffice has xml?? on Fulfilling the Promise of XML-based Office Suites? · · Score: 0

    I downloaded staroffice 7 yesterday. however, i cannot save nor open xml documents (no option). Also, a friend of mine got a preview of the upcomming office 2003 and that one did save as xml. Of course, I could only open the xml and view the tags, but taht was about it. No other word processor was able to view the document (StarOffice, OpenOffice, Abiword). Tuco

  16. Re:This is a great paper. on Disk Drives Explained · · Score: 0

    To tell you the truth, I try to stay away from putting together a computer for people. I usually just build mine. Anyway, the point is that if anything goes wrong with it then I get blamed for it. jeeez... "Windows crashes a lot... do you think there is something wrong with that hardware you chose?" So... I tell them we could put a computer together for this much money but then if anything goes wrong, they have to deal with different manufacturers for each part. That usually scares them off and they end up calling Dell or something like that.... tuco
