  1. apt-get-together on Debian Turning 10 · · Score: 1

    From the press release:

    The Debian Project is celebrating its birthday at various places around the globe, since a single large party doesn't seem appropriate for a project which is spread worldwide. Some parties are simply a social apt-get-together at a restaurant, while others are organised for larger audience.

    I like the bit about the "apt-get-together"

  2. Re:Webster was a tool. on Flavor vs. Flavour · · Score: 1
    Whoa, whoa, whoa! "The French were right" You're talking about years of language changes; you can't simply say that the French were correct, especially when you're dealing with pronunciation changes. English is German, it's Celtic, it's French, and it's full of lingo from around the globe. To make the judgement that one spelling is correct over another-- when there are two societies separated by an ocean--is absurd.

    For your information, the Chanel is NOT an ocean.

  3. EU Standard English on Flavor vs. Flavour · · Score: 1

    In any case, most of British English will be outdated soon. At least in Europe.

  4. democratic alternative to Gentoo .... ?? on Gentoo 1.4 Final Released · · Score: 1
    I do wonder whatever happened to that one guy who wanted to fork Gentoo... did he ever follow thru with his plans?"

    He has attracted many people who now are part of a growing community (358 members so far)... That probably will get bigger once a first release comes out.

    What I like the most about this new, as yet unnamed distro, compared to Gentoo, is that it is on the path of becoming a truly democratic " distro (a la Debian) with the tools to achieve the goal.

  5. Metallica on Pew Study: File Traders Don't Care About Copyright · · Score: 1

    "In other news, I had an mp3, named after a particular Metallica song, of my voice saying to not buy, purchase or download anything Metallica related. I'd rather just see those meatheads not sell another album or concert ticket. Now, that's been downloaded hundreds of times."

    So that was you!!

    And you dare admit it!

    and I always wondered how that gloomy voice found its way on my xmms playlist... ;-)

  6. Re:I Remember when... on Dear Sir: Your Credit Card Number Has Been Owned · · Score: 1

    When was that...?

    I find it very inconvenient that /. doesn't display the YEAR in the dates...

  7. Linus should cheer up immensely.... on SCO Berates Linus' Approach To Kernel Contributions · · Score: 1

    I posted this before, and it's more valid than ever...

    "I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left."

    Margaret Thatcher

  8. Linus should cheer up immensely.... on SCO Might Sue Linus for Patent Infringement? · · Score: 1

  9. IANAL on SCO Might Sue Linus for Patent Infringement? · · Score: 1

    > I ANAL

    What does I ANAL mean?
    I mean, seriously.
    and YMMV?
