  5. Re:RedHat binaries for stock 7.1 (seawolf) on KDE 2.2.1 Up · · Score: 1

    You call your current release "legacy". You know there are people out there who have many desktop machines running redhat 7.1/kde and would like to upgrade kde the the newest stable version without putting beta software on users PCs. Besides doesnt making users upgrade there OS just to get the newest mail client sound like something Microsoft would do? Im really starting to regret moving from SuSE

  6. Re:staroffice question on Is StarOffice Ready To Take On Office? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I dont think thats true from what I have read. StarOffice 6(not released yet) will be based on the openoffice code. Staroffice 5.2 is a totally different code base. Ive been using openoffice builds and they are far better then staroffice 5.2, and they also open microsoft word docs perfectly.

  9. I dont think its for real on Own Your Own Russian Space Shuttle · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The seller is also selling his collection of "HARRY POTTER AUDIO CASSETTES" and some dolls. Most of his other items are under $20. This is quite a leap for this guy.

  10. Re:But I just got 2.4.7 working right!!! on Linux 2.4.8 is Out · · Score: 2, Informative

    You could also use the save config to alt file, and load config from alt file in make menuconfig and make xconfig

    Its also a nice way of tracking different configurations

  14. Re:Good description here: on Code Red Worm Spreading, Set To Flood Whitehouse · · Score: 1

    according to that artical:

    5. Each worm thread checks for c:\notworm

    -If the file is not found then each thread will continue to attempt to
    infect more systems.

    Can anyone verify that?

  16. Re:You are all happy that.... on Washington Spam Law Upheld · · Score: 1

    An email address is the same as giving you name and adress on the internet. If I have to give a valid email address that belongs to me, thats the same as identifying myself

  17. Re:The beginning of the end for free speech. on Washington Spam Law Upheld · · Score: 2

    What will happen next:
    1-Legislation againt anonymous emailers because they can be used for a crime.
    2-companies like yahoo mail, and mail.com will have to get proof of identification so that there not helping break a law.

    This is scary stuff. This only makes a quicker path for the government to track you.

  18. You are all happy that.... on Washington Spam Law Upheld · · Score: 1

    The government is passing laws that you must give your real identity when sending email... This is going to set a president againt future legislation... Next anonymous emailers will go, then companies like yahoo mail will have to ask for identification.

    This is scary stuff.

  19. Re:Bad for compulsive gamblers on Nevada Lawmakers Nearer To OK'ing Net Betting · · Score: 1

    I quit smoking this year... Having tobacco products for sale online does not make being near a computer any more "dangerous" then normal for me. They just need to avoid those sights like they avoid the casinos and OTBs

  20. $500,000 fees on Nevada Lawmakers Nearer To OK'ing Net Betting · · Score: 1

    Should the state get to charge people 500,000 every two years for operating a business without toxic waste? Talk about a barrier to entry!)

    Yes... It takes alot of money for the government to regulate that industry, and there is alot of potential for people to be riped off if the government doesnt keep it fair.

  21. Re:Oh dear. on lpf Removed From OpenBSD · · Score: 4

    Just because it not included in the distibution does not mean you cant use it. You can still download the package from http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ and compile it yourself.

  23. lordoftherings.com on You Liked This Movie, Or Else · · Score: 2

    Has anyone see tolkins fan page has been taken down because of legal reasons! I wonder if its because they had the trailer for the upcoming movie on there site. Anyway, it is sad, it was a very nice site.

  24. Re:This is so stupid on Rivals Upset At Windows XP Features · · Score: 1

    However, the issue in this case is that Microsoft made it very difficult if not impossible to remove that car stereo and implement a different brand stereo
    Have you tried the beta of XP? Does it self destruct if you try to install a third party cd-burning app?
