  1. Re:Huh? on CBC News Interprets GPL - Poorly · · Score: 1

    Well, you yourself got the name wrong, so perhaps your vitriol is better directed elsewhere.

  2. Re:I'm not too sure I follow... on CBC News Interprets GPL - Poorly · · Score: 1

    As long as he doesn't sing.

  3. Re:Will Wright... on News of Spore Delay Miscommunication · · Score: 1

    Are you being serious, or sarcastic? (Honest question - I never played it, but ISTR for some reason it getting really positive reviews.)

  4. Re:GPL = no commercial use on Dell Refuses to Sell Ubuntu to Business · · Score: 1

    What? That's double untrue OpenSSH is BSD-licensed, and even if it were GPLed, there is nothing preventing us from using it only if we were to modify it, would we run into any license provisions!

    And not even then. You can modify GPL code all you want - it's when you distribute it you run into the license provisions.

    Same place they keep the artificial Christmas tree that goes outside Rockefeller Center.

  6. Re:News That Doesn't Matter on Blockbuster Chooses Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    Sure, you can get high-def 22" sets - but with a set that small, the difference between DVD and HD-format is pretty nullified. Again, only enthusiasts will notice a difference.

    Yeah, good point. I don't notice a difference between 640x480 and 1024x768 on my desktop either.

  7. Re:The government is all for gambling... on Legal Online Gambling May Return to US · · Score: 1

    If they had banned the lottery, vegas, etc when they banned online gamboling, it would have at least been consistent.

    If I cannot dance, I want no part of your revolution.

  8. Re:Taking things out of the black market on Legal Online Gambling May Return to US · · Score: 1

    Man, I don't know if you're being sarcastic or what, but if I could buy weed at the local CVS, I wouldn't have to sell my body for crack anymore. The world would indeed be a much better place.

    Karma. Only karma.

    Having been to both places, it seems obvious that you've been to neither.

  11. Re:The 6 stages of every project. on Dell Thinks Ubuntu Makes Hardware More Fragile? · · Score: 1

    Is that what they are? I thought it was something like:

    1.) First they ignore you.

    2.) ???

    3.) Then they laugh at you.

    4.) Then they fight you.

    5.) Profit!

    6.) Then you win.

    * The inability to use the box while compiling (not true - I do stuff when compiling all the time, not what is being compiled mind you).

    Why not?

  14. Re:Update difficulties on New Gentoo 2007.0 Release Gets Mixed Review · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You've filed bug reports, right? That definitely sounds unwanted. I'm typing this from the install I did in 2003, and it's up to date.

  15. Razor-thin? on Sony Debuts Razor-Thin Flexible Display · · Score: 0

    I can't imagine the cuts you'd get from that sucker. Go to work with a beach towel stuck to your chin to mop up the bleeding.

  16. Re:Classmate has low resolution screen. on Intel Laptop Competes With One Laptop Per Child · · Score: 2, Informative

    Additionally, Intel shows students straining to read the screen.

    You're basing that from one photo? Didn't you ever see those dumbass cable ads where the downloader is gasping in awe as they stare into a 19" LCD from eight inches away?

    Like the advertisements in a certain Halloween episode of The Simpsons, media whore waste away and die without someone to look at them.

    Good thing you included a link to his book then! :-P

    Uhh, no. What they do is cut old-growth, and then plant fast-growing trees instead. Close though.

    Does that mean donkeys are gorillas?

    Tie a bunch of sheets together, making a giant cloth balloon. Attach that to the bucket. Build a fire in the bucket, filling the balloon with hot air. Grab a bottle of champagne to celebrate when the balloon pulls the boat out of the water. Gasp in dismay as you realize you forgot to attach the bucket to the boat.

    Which is about 4 1/2 days if that's all you eat.

    Also, "rm -i" is a pain when you're deleting a large number of files at once.

    So type "rm --" the second time, after you know you want to delete them all.
