  1. Re:Links to www.openoffice.org on Microsoft FUD Machine Aims at OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1

    I can only find 1 link to openoffice.org in the /. article.. unless I see it wrong?

  2. Re:Register overreacting a bit on DOJ Calls EU Microsoft Decision "Unfortunate" · · Score: 1

    thank god, software patents aren't yet enforcable in the EU...

  3. replacing them on Apartment Lit Solely by LEDs · · Score: 1

    Man, I wouldn't like to be the one to replace the broken leds ;)

  4. Re:Why these things get modded down on RIAA Threatens 15-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    oh god please tell me you are joking...
    If the system really works that way, then IMHO the system is broken in the US, and needs amending quickly.

    You know there is a term called "frivolous claims", and I think this is exactly what it is, in this case.

    The RIAA gains the 'evidence' in a somewhat skewy way, shady at best, and it gets accepted in court?!

  5. NVu? on Life After Netscape For Mozilla Developers · · Score: 1

    Funny, they want people to call it New View... I read it as Envie You

  6. Re:Eh? on Interview With a Spammer · · Score: 1

    you know, this is all nice and good, if you only get 1 or 2 spam emails a month, but if you (like me) get about 20 a day, you simply click delete or set up some filter to autodelete the suckers. I really have no inclination to reserve time to get rid of those types of email anymore, if one of my emailaddresses get too much spam a day, I simply let it fly, and get a new one.

  7. Re:No quicktime trailer on Fanimatrix - The Matrix Re-done By Fans · · Score: 1

    does fair use still exist then?

  8. Site dead yet? on Fanimatrix - The Matrix Re-done By Fans · · Score: 1

    Apparently the site got /.-ed and is still gone...

  9. Re:Want to see the AD ? on IBM's New Linux Advertising · · Score: 1

    I join you on the weird/sad part. It gave me goosebumps as well :)

  10. M2 (Opera) on How Do You Organize Your Data? · · Score: 1

    In M2 (Opera) you can have an email in multiple 'views' while it is still just 1 email in the physical view. But that way you can add the email in multiple folders without wondering if you are looking at the correct email

  11. What is Pres Bush doing there? on New Great Ape Discovered? · · Score: 1

    I thought that Pres. Bush didn't have a meeting in Africa at this time...

  12. Re:SCO adds $32 to the price... on AMD Demonstrates Linux-Based PDA at LinuxWorld · · Score: 1

    With all the buzzing of SCO about Linux being a tainted OS, I think that counts as promotion as well ;)

  13. Re:US Only? on Last Chance for Slashdot T-Shirt Contest · · Score: 1

    wouldn't that be "All foreigners are terrorists?"

  14. Re:Why make a copy? on Cringely Proposes a Music Sharing Alternative · · Score: 1

    We used to have a cd-rental business here in The Netherlands, much the same as renting LP albums. It was great.
    I'm not sure if it still excists though, because the owner of the local cd-rental decided to move to some other place.

  15. starving artists? on MPAA to Launch Anti-Piracy Commercials · · Score: 1

    While they make millions? ha!
    I wish I was starving while making 10 million dollars per movie I feature in.
    (I would still be broke, for I don't feature in any movie, but that's just a small detail)

  16. Uploading a file is bad? on House Bill to Make File-Sharing an Automatic Felony · · Score: 1

    I hope they will find some loophole in that bill, for independent musicians who upload their music files free of charge to the world, to get more listeners.

  17. Re:Problem for ya. on Game Makers Aren't Chasing Women · · Score: 1

    How about those MMORPGs there are right now? aren't they played by quiet a large number of women? or are they just boys pretending to be a female?

    I think what is needed to attract more women to a computer, is to first make a game more visually appealing, and also with more story to it than just "Blow every single person to bits (and bytes)".

    Perhaps those games could give me an incentive to play games again.

  18. Re:You mean I actually need to read? on UCB Researchers Critique DRM, Compulsory Licensing · · Score: 1

    well they _are_ talking about DRM...
    Which is, if I'm not mistaken, being promoted by Microsoft, which in turn is the master in bloating.
    So some bloating is bound to happen.

  19. Re:The best part of "Don't Copy That Floppy" on Random Humor · · Score: 1

    I found it amusing to see some AOL programmers basically say something about stealing software...

    and see what are they doing to their customers now?

  20. Re:The ads probably should be legal- FIREWALLS on Gator-style Overlay Ads Are Legal, Says Court · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you would want to download an .exe file in this scenario, you wouldn't be allowed. Right?

    Of course, a lot of .exes are just plain evil, but not _all_.

  21. Re:Prior Art on Microsoft Patenting IM Translation? · · Score: 1

    Kopete is really comming along nicely

    I can see it really works ;)
    (J/K)

  22. universal translator? on Microsoft Patenting IM Translation? · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, could be nice :)
    but only if it needs Hoshi to operate it :D

  23. Re:I loved the IBM model M keyboard key caps... on A Condensed History Of The Keyboard · · Score: 1

    only if you use an English Windows version... :)
    what me it is

    Alt-Space N
    Alt-Space M
    Alt F4

    and still I reach for the mouse :(

  24. Re:Cool! Warez! on Good Freeware Gaming Portal? · · Score: 1

    but, and I forgot to add this, I think UO doesn't have any linux games...

  25. Re:Cool! Warez! on Good Freeware Gaming Portal? · · Score: 1

    I personally rather play older games which give me a better storyline or better gameplay, than those new and flashy games, which have a flimsy storyline or is so detailed in graphics that it requires multi-processors to even give a moving picture... :)

    The-underdogs is also my hideout, in search of those gems.. sadly Elite 3 doesn't run under XP :(
