  1. Imagine... on Linux From A CIO's Perspective · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...how much money he would save if he moved to Microsoft!

  2. RenderAccel on Xorg and Desktop Eyecandy · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Before adding further acceleration, how about fix the current problems? Many people have problems with X locking up when using nvidia and RenderAccel (which give a huge speed boost before lock up). When I ask if there is a fix for it, the answer I get is "You shouldn't use it, it's experimental".

  3. Linux port? on AI Researchers Produce New Kind of PC Game · · Score: 2, Funny

    Linux port is comming soon :D And it's gonna use GTK1!?!?!

  4. Re:Firefox 1.1.... on Windows Longhorn and Internet Explorer 7 · · Score: 1

    put their GUI on it and call it IE 7

    I don't think they even did that.

  5. Re:Say no to Windows on Windows Longhorn and Internet Explorer 7 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why though? IE7 looks exactly like Firefox.

  6. Soooo? on DoubleClick Warns Against Ad-Blocking Browsers · · Score: 1

    'a negative vibe against advertising in general'
    So why is this bad again?

  7. Re:Hmm on Apple Sued Over iTunes UI · · Score: 1

    And definitly rhythmbox

  8. Re:maybe im just ignorant. on Linux on Nintendo DS, Update · · Score: 1

    You can get more functionality out of it. A media player has been mentioned in some posts.

  9. Grow at slashdot rate? on Firefox Extension for Applied Social Networking · · Score: 1

    366 testers so far, but we need the network to grow!

    Don't wish for more than you can chew!

    Warning: mysql_connect(): User wanderin_drpl2 has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in

  10. Re:New Microsoft Security Update on MS Patch Train Leaves the Station · · Score: 1

    Someone should make a scam email that says Microsoft has that updateand send it to all people. I wonder how many would click it...

  11. Re:Forgive my ignorance on MS Patch Train Leaves the Station · · Score: 1

    Patched don't have to be in the sence that you rip your pants and use ductape to patch it up. They can be just nice updates. For example, someone hacks the linux kernel so it works 20% faster and the code 30% cleaner and sends a patch to the mailing list. It is still a patch even though it makes the code nicer and not look like a overpuffed mushmellow man.

  12. Re:It goes something like this: on Why Don't Companies Release Specs? · · Score: 1

    All the joking aside, does anyonee think that Microsoft threatens the hardwarre companies?

  13. Prediction... on Performance of OpenOffice.org and MS Office · · Score: 1

    Before I RTFA I am gonna make a prediction on the results: OO.org is slower. I like using it more than MS Office but I can't get it to run very fast, mainly on slower computers. Older MS Office versions can run with good speeds on them. Maybe OO.org should release a minimal version for this kind of comps?

  14. Hmm.. campare with gimp? on Initial Review of Microsoft's Acrylic BETA · · Score: 1

    I've took a look at the screenshot and I think that even GIMP looks more user friendly!

  15. Re:what *are* they putting in Longhorn? on New MS Shell Will Not Be In Longhorn · · Score: 1

    How about that big sidebar? It was in the early screenshots, but I don't remember seeing it recently...

  16. Re:Testing is only a priority on closed source app on Security Patch Creation at Microsoft · · Score: 1

    You have a choice. Every new patch dosn't mean a new release so normal users will run stable code. But then there are a few that like to live on the edge and download the CVS version, which contains a patch. You would be suprised how many people do that.

  17. Re:Next! on PC Case Made Completely of Fans · · Score: 5, Funny

    Next thing we need is a fan made entirely of old computer cases!
    You gotta move to soviet russia for that.

  18. If... on Microsoft Sets Value Of Pirated Windows: $1 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...I went to Indonesia and bought a legal version of Windows and brought it back here, would it still be legal? That means if I bought several hundred licenses there I could resell them here for a nice profit :D

  19. Radio? on Canada To Introduce Copyright Law Next Week · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How come radio is free to share music? How is downloading MP3's from internet any different? If the radio station pays royalities (I think they do) then I can pay royalities myself and start a P2P site. The revenue I generate from ads would go to the music companies and the users can download music for free! Would that be legal?

  20. Switchover? on Patent Reform Bill Introduced in U.S. House · · Score: 1

    First the Canadian government wants to get a new Copyright Law and now the USA is going to change it's dumb patent laws.

  21. Re:How do we protest? on Canada To Introduce Copyright Law Next Week · · Score: 1

    Its best to defeat the law before it gets into law, fortunately we have 3 readings to defeat it.
    No, 6. It has to go through 3 readings in the House of Commons and 3 in the House of Senate.
    Probably the best way to defeat it, is to eighter write to your MP. I did it once before along with my class and we actually did something about that. But of course what they did was give us our exam earlier...

  22. What exactly is it? on Canada To Introduce Copyright Law Next Week · · Score: 1

    I've read the article and there is only one point that I see: illegal to dreak digital locks. It will stay legal to copy CD's for personal use. How come the article mentions nothing about P2P?

  23. Re:Can you say dupe? on Open Source Self-Replicating Robot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    RTFA, it's not a dupe. Looking at the picture in the article it dosn't look like a bunch of cubes moving themselfs around as in the first case. It looks more complicated now.

  24. Same year as Longhorn on Apple Switching To Intel Chips In 2006 · · Score: 1

    Isn't MS Longhorn supposed to come out that year?

  25. Internet Explorer and CSS on Firefox Deer Park Alpha Available · · Score: 1

    IE is really behind now. Firefox is starting to implement CSS3 and IE dosn't even have full CSS2!
