  1. My Hero? on Who is Your Hero, Gates or Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Where's the Torvalds vs. Stallman article?

    "Torvalds is a chubby Gnome hating grinch. But Stallman is a dirty, unshaven hippy. Could they possibly live in the same house without driving each other mad?"

  2. Well... on Digital Universe a Wikipedia Alternative · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This idea isn't horrible, only problem is just WHO gets to decide who is an 'expert'? Some would argue that Daryl McBride is an expert in lawsuits, because he's filed so many...but you know...

  3. Personally.. on Gnome Removed From Slackware · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't use slackware, or gnome, or kde, but I was a hardcore flux/fvwm user, until I found XFCE Just the good parts of a DE, without every single application in the world with a stupid gui and a G/K stuck on the front

  4. Great... on The World's Most Devious Alarm Clock · · Score: 1

    A javascript site, they want me to be asleep by the time I get to the last frame to test out their new alarm clock I guess

  5. Re:Be Cautious... on True.com Wants Warnings On Personal Ads · · Score: 1

    If only people put that as a warning on livejournals...

  6. Re:What about Linux killing itself... on LinuxWorld Response to 'How to Kill Linux' · · Score: 1

    Oh, people who want to do it there way? you mean like that Linus guy who didn't want to use minix so he made his own kernel? he must be crazy!

  7. NetBSD runs on a lot of archs... on Where Does NetBSD Fit In? · · Score: 1

    Sure netbsd runs on lots of arhcitectures, but it hardly runs good on any. They work and work to get it ported everywhere, and once it works on a single box of that architecture, that's enough for them and they move on, look at SPARC, they don't support U1's, and they didn't even have SMP support until NetBSD 2.0

  8. The hardest thing... on How To Make Friends on the Telephone · · Score: 5, Funny

    The hardest thing about a phone conversation is trying to figure out how to pronounce "pwn3d!"

  9. 128 on Are iTMS's 128kbps Songs Worth Collecting? · · Score: 1

    I know that I personally don't like my MP3's under 128kbps, that's where I draw the line, but if I was paying for Apple's service, I'd expect better than 128kbps for my money.

    I do, however, listen to 128kbps streaming mp3s. But, those are free streams.

  10. Re:Linux easier than Windows? Unpossible. on Linux Users Are Spoiled · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not to be a perfectionist, but -U (capitalized) is not recommended, because it forces upgrades only (which might sound good, but a number of things get into portage, just to be downgraded later because of bugs/security concerns) emerge -uD world is what you should do, and yes some things that you have that might be unstable (~x86) will want to be downgraded, but that's why you need to read man portage, and learn how to use /etc/portage/package.keywords :P

  11. Re:What about FM? on WiFi Signals In Between Television Frequencies · · Score: 1, Informative

    They are http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/5/14/21052 8.shtml But TV broadcasters oppose the proposal. They argue that it would interfere with over-the-air television signals for millions of people.

  12. Great... on Opera Settles $12.75m Lawsuit, But with Whom? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Now that they have a hefty some of money, maybe Opera should realise their browser would be a lot better if they just open source it.

  13. Wow! on Nano Body Building · · Score: 3, Funny

    Around 2025, you'll pay $1,000 a year for a nanopill that will extend your life by suppressing heart attacks, diabetes and other diseases.

    And then they can mix it with viagra and make a pill that increases your life, AND your penis! Twice the spam too!

  14. That's interesting... on Life Imitates Art at Intel · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Imagine bluetooth enabled wearable computers, that could become clusters when in close proximity of each other. Image everyone at a soccer game wearing them; not only do you get to enjoy the game, but you make one huge super cluster.

  15. Re:English link on Phatbot Author Arrested In Germany · · Score: 1

    The link doesn't work

  16. Hah on Phatbot Author Arrested In Germany · · Score: 5, Funny

    In other news, German Authorities claim they have caught the moth that got caught in the Mark II. News at 11.

  17. Imagine... on Astronauts Get Tricoders (Almost) · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Imagine a floating beowulf cluster of these!
    Sorry, I just had to do it.

  18. Re:connection? on Astronauts Get Tricoders (Almost) · · Score: 3, Informative

    The latest mars missions had 15kb/s I believe

  19. Well... on Interview with ATI's soon-to-be CEO Dave Orton · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What they really need to do is release better Linux drivers, and care more about Linux support in general.

  20. If my school... on FBI Investigates Open Records Request · · Score: 1

    I know that if someone told me my school had an underground system of tunnels, I'd be pretty interested in learning about them.
    Maybe he asked around and no one would talk?

  21. So... on India Starts All-Electronic National Elections · · Score: -1, Troll

    So THIS is why all of the good tech jobs are getting outsourced. This whole time I thought it was because of the cheap labor, but people could never be that evil, right?

  22. Damn redhat on 2.4, The Kernel and Forking · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    RedHat always has some weird reason to change random stuff that really made no difference seemingly just to piss people off, like xinetd, on regular systems, it was just inetd, then redhat had to be all different and put an x in front of it. *shakes head*

  23. Wow! on Extreme Yo-Yoing · · Score: 1, Redundant

    $400 for a State of the Art Hogh-Tech YoYo? Sounds awesome!

  24. Neat on Listen to the Sky · · Score: 5, Funny

    I personally like calling stupid people to hear the echo of my voice in their empty head.

  25. But... on Stoplights to Mete Out Punishment? · · Score: 1

    Why leave the camera out? I'd love to see the look on some lead foot's face as his green light suddenly turns to red!
