  1. Re:awesome on Free Pascal 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Awesome? sure...

    I know pascal has been around for quite some time. I'm not familiar with this language. So I ask, what would be a good reason to choose Pascal over any other given language? Or is it just a matter of taste?

  2. Re:Problem? on Is Ubuntu a Compatibility Nightmare for Debian? · · Score: 2, Funny

    google> x.org package debian-unstable

    1. I can't find the xorg package, where is it?
    stfu, u n00b! go away.

    2. What is the reason that x.org is not in the unstable branche?
    Why ask such stupid questions. If u got a problem with it, make ur own distro!

    3. How can I install xorg instead of xfree with debian-unstable?
    go away! Find out yourself!

    4. Is there some faq on xorg versus xfree in debian?
    google!

    Hmmm. that didn't help much.

  3. Re:I have a better idea on UN Wants To Regulate Internet · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, interesting. Which makes me wonder. Is it possible with IPv6 to create multiple subnets on the internet? Certain subnets could be flagged as spam free or pr0n free (as if that would be requested by the crown here :p). The UN could then setup its own subnet worldwide and people could chose to use this 'UN-internet' or not.

  14. Re:It's fairly straighforward on Microsoft Changes Tune Again On SP2 Installs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That would probably be close to the worst strategy possible that Microsoft could follow.

    Think about it. How many people would actually buy Windows XP, it it were close to impossible, too annoying or too risky to use a pirated copy. Off course there will be a certain percentage, but wouldn't it also stimulate people to look for alternatives?

    To keep hold of the monopoly, Microsoft depends greatly on the mass use of their pirated software. That is probably the main reason, not to lock down all pirated versions of XP in the first place. I think the lock down of the 20 most pirated copies is merely a statement of their discontent and tries to create FUD. But if it will do them good, I highly doubt.

    I wondered this myself, as I'm using kernel 2.6 since test2, also with nvidia support (incl 3d. nvidia logo is showing on X startup). Perhaps it were the gentoo devs who made it possible, as all I did after starting with the new kernel was "emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx" and it worked.
