  1. Driving Lights... on Making War On Light Pollution · · Score: 1

    Everyone needs to start driving without their lights on. That will save the sky view! :-P My car had bright fog lights on them. Screw the night view. I bet the animals are having a hard time sleeping without that Class 1 darkness.

  2. Re:IceWM or Fluxbox? on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    In my opinion I think its a simple, fast, reliable WM. I admit I do not use it on my computers that have plenty of computing resources but when I need a minimal WM I use that. Also, How come I can't get some Karma points or some good points? :-(

  3. Re:IceWM or Fluxbox? on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    I tried BadWM but used it only a few times. Fluxbox is my favorite. I'm sure there are plenty of others I'm missing. A person posted Lynx as non-bloated software and it was marked as funny. There have been a bunch of times where lynx or links2 came in handy when I needed a text-based web browser for downloading something like a graphics driver.

    I like both these WMs. Fluxbox is my favorite out of the two.

  5. Re:Wasn't that always the case? on Opera 9.5 Beats Firefox and IE7 As Fastest Browser · · Score: 1

    I use Firefox daily on Ubuntu 6.10 and have not been unhappy with it. Although I have had the occasional browser crash. Those crashes only happen because I may have loaded a bad script. The Firefox browser is running in the background all the time with around 5 tabs all the time (gmail, slashdot, my web site, gotapi, and shoutcast). I have the browser save my session so that when I start firefox up again all my previous tabs load. Before I shut down or close X I make sure I close the browser first otherwise firefox complains of a unclean shutdown next time I go to start it up and prompts me if I wish to restore the session. Most of the time I choose to restore the previous session. I wonder if thats bad? So... Opera is OK to use but I am perfectly happy using Firefox. Although I hate Internet Explorer. Its a pretty slow browser and I do not like using it because to me the user interface is clunky. I am happy that IE7 supports CSS better than its predecessors. Thats my 2 cents... --kc2keo

  7. Re:Not only IE, but MSN Messenger too on Microsoft Ties Windows Live Services to OS · · Score: 1

    Well... I like to use GChat thats part of GMail. I stopped using AIM and pretty much anything else because it was real annoying to get IMs when your working on stuff (insert joke here). For me almost everyone who said Hi to me said I have this problem with my computer and I need your help. So the bottom line is I just stopped logging in and use GMail. Its much less invasive. Sorry for the poor grammer and sentence structure Grammer Nazis :-P --kc2keo

  11. Re:figures on Survey Shows More Women Blogging Than Men · · Score: 2, Funny

    I agree. Women yap a lot and its real annoying. I'd rather do what I do which is... -Download and watch porno -Do other hobbies like play video games, work on web site, and other shit -read Slashdot. I love to read slashdot every day. I've become a regular since a few months ago. I do not really respond as much as read the replies and articles. -I read the newspaper almost every morning (Comics, Some sports, business, and more deaths on highways that are local here. I287, 684...) -Sleep and eat -Reality shit such as... School and job.

  20. Re:useful yet? on Wine 0.9.44 Released · · Score: 1

    I agree... Its made lots of advancements over the years but does not close the gap for me. Some of my favorite games will not fully run. I also have a few mods I work on every so often. Wine does not work with the mod tools. Ultimately I boot to WinXPPro if I choose to play games or mod. Otherwise I stay in GNU/Linux. Also... Why call it wine? Why not beer?

  21. Re:No problem on UK Police Cracking Down on Broadband Theft · · Score: 1

    If the owner at least put MAC address filtering on the network or something like that then this would not be an issue. If I see an open network in the area and connect to it then I will if I really want to get on the net. Otherwise I would not. I'm sure this has happened plenty of times. Its a waste of time for police to start looking at peoples computers asking them if they are on somebodies network without permission. What is this world comming to?

  22. Re:What pisses me off on The "Loudness War" and the Future of Music · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I agree. Sometimes I just use mute when commercials come along. But other times I switch between two channels when theres a commercial on one. I use the recall button for that. Sometimes its last on some remotes. So far I vote comcast for the worst commercial array. Cablevision has better commercials. I have only seen the commercials between comcast and cablevision and thats it so far.

    we will see some segmentation faults and a 30% possibility of a new error called kernel disintegration. Also in international news the war on errors seems pretty grim.

  24. Re:Too Bad on Bandwidth Crunch Looms for Cable Companies · · Score: 2, Informative

    Jeeze you pretty much said how I feel about Comcast (comcrud). We get horrible service. If it rains hard or have a minor thunder storm you can pretty much rely on the internet service going down. We subscribe to Digital cable service. It has not DVR or anything like that but the reception is far from acceptable. If you go to any channel above 70 the volume has to be turned up on the T.V. a lot. Otherwise you only hear mumbling. Some channels have constant distortion. The distorted channels are legal and we do have them part of our payment plan. Its not always distorted though. Once we got charged for somebody else's bill. They mixed up somebodies records with out records. At least that got settled. Internet speed is unreliable. At times it gets pretty bad. Other times its fine. I'm not the only person with this issue. They are others I know of. Cable provider was not always comcrud. It was originally RCN then Suscom and finally Comcast. AND THEIR COMMERICIALS ARE VERY VERY ANNOYING... They are so bad in quality its not even funny. They have been so shitty ever since Suscom. Guess Comcast carried on Suscom's legacy of crap commercials. Thats all I have to say about Comcrud for now. Moderators can rate me -1 Troll I do not give a shit. My Karma's in the shitter but ALL IS GOOD >:-D --kc2keo
