    This is a first line from google search:

  3. Re:Mabe true but, exagerated on Alan Cox talks about laws... and Linux · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Dmitry was not in hot water just for "helping grandma to read", he made it possible for millions of copywritten works which make up for some people's livleyhoods, to be exploited without proper compensation


    LOL! Go sue Xerox first!
  4. Insightfull ???????? on Dmitry Protests Running · · Score: 1

    hmm

  5. got tired on 15th IOCCC Results Posted · · Score: 1

    I suggest slashdot team to mirror any link before it gets posted on the front page

  6. Re:What about WINE on Konqueror Embeds Mozilla with XParts · · Score: 1

    sure wine will look cool embeded to say konsole, but what the real benefits are you going to get by embedding it into linux apps?

  7. Re:Advise on Mozilla .6 Released · · Score: 1

    Ok, Konqueror renders pages almost as good as IE5 does. The only thing why I dont use Konqueror is coz its loading time 10 times slower than 10 netscapes being started simultaneously.

  8. Win4Lin anyone? on Layers Upon Layers: Plex86 Runs Windows95 · · Score: 2

    Ok, it's definitely cool Plex86 runs Windows and stuff, but how does its speed compare to Win4Lin? On my PC Windows runs under Win4Lin even faster than in native mode.

  9. Re:Monopolies Do It Better on Send Some Mo' Zilla · · Score: 1

    Well I sticked with 5.0 and never used 5.5 on regular basis... but: once I was using Indy machine and after short period of quite stable behaviour IRIX started crashing like hell for every 10-20 minutes. I was blaming SGI and telling everybody what the crap is IRIX. And you know what? Folks from SGI just replaced broken CPU and I never saw a crash again.

  10. Re:Monopolies Do It Better on Send Some Mo' Zilla · · Score: 1

    Sorry to say this - but I've never seen MS Internet Explorer crashed. And never seen any serious bug or "feature" which could be annoying. Have you ever really used MSIE or just know its made by Microsoft which is an easy target for blaming here?

  11. Re:Um, Okay. on Digital Convergence Changes EULA, and Gets Cracked · · Score: 1

    Okay, I won't pretend that statement makes any recognizable sense, but I'd like to read the article that it ALLUDES to. Cracked? When? How? By whom? I'd like to read an article about it, not a passing mention. Where's the story?

    So there is a story:

  12. Re:Low Linux Sales on John Carmack On Consoles Vs. Personal Computers · · Score: 1
    I think its fair to say that many of the hardcore gamers who would've otherwise purchased a Linux version bought the Win32 retail CD

    Have you seen any real hardcore gamer who'd use Linux for gaming?

  13. Moderate this up! on Mandrake 7.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Do moderators have sense of humor? :)

  14. Re:3D acceleration for ATI chipsets? on XFree86 4.0 Now Available · · Score: 2

    XFree86 site says that there is no hw acceleration for Rage Pro chipsets in 4.0.
    However you can use Utah-GLX module for XFree 3.3.6, which supports DRI for Rage Pro cards. Go to http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net for more info.

  15. Re:Here's one for all the other "Carmacks" on John Carmack Interview · · Score: 1

    It may be an offtopic, but these "Carmacks" created a new 3D engine that leaves Quake far far behind. http://www.insomniasoftware.com/ Cant wait to see it in action.

  16. Just a question on CUPS 1.0 Enters The World · · Score: 1

    What's the difference between CUPS and lprng+magicfilter?

  17. Re:Windoze only (was: Yes) on Netscape 4.7 Arrives on the Scene · · Score: 1

    Netscape is packaged with default X resource file, where you can change most of Netscape's look'n'feel (i.e. menu names, buttons, system fonts, key mappings, Motif settings etc.) For my distro it is /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Netscape.
