    adobe acrobat reader has been out there for a while (at least for 5 or 6 years).

  5. IMDb rocks on Google Announces 'Google Movies' · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It will not beat IMDb. Maybe Google will try to buy it soon and turn it into GMDb (Google Movie Database).

  6. wait... on Gaming With a Headmouse? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Isn't /. a game?

  7. And... on Humans are Causing Global Warming · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Despite that the US the has not signed the Kyoto treaty [yet].

  8. I'm waiting the patch from MS on Shmoo Group Finds Exploit For non-IE Browsers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ok, it doesn't work in IE... so when the patch will be released? I mean... it is IE, the exploits HAVE to work. Microsoft should be worried, they are not doing their job properly.

  9. Sure... on The Economist On The Economics of Sharing · · Score: 3, Insightful

    about The Economist, I have to remember to renew my subscription

    and /. editors have to remember to remove personal notes from the stories.

  10. Slackware is great but... on Slackware 10.1 Released · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I had used Slackware for several years, since version 3.4. Then I started using GNU/Linux Debian and... GOSH! It is so much easier and practical, mainly when you have to install or update new software.

    Slackware really teaches you a lot, since you have to do everything "by hand" (at least it used to be that way). But when you just want to get the system working in order to get your needs done, simplicity is the best way. You don't want to lose several hours configuring and editing files, you just want to use the system. That's why I've chosen Debian, it is easier to mantain and quick to "install and use".

    I don't know how would I manage a college lab with 40 slackware boxes. With debian, apt and dselect does all the job for me.

    As I said there's a long time since I've used slackware for the last time (it was slackware 7.1 IIRC). I know there are some package managers working around, but how good are they? Are they really reliable or the best way still is the "grab the tarball, untar and compile it" from scratch?

  11. Wow! on GNOME 2.10 Beta 1 Screenshot Demo · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can't wait to see the ScreeShots of Gnome 2.10 Beta 2!

  12. Re:Ugh on Family Guy Video Game in the Works · · Score: 1

    Family Guy has a more subtle and agressive humor that you can't find in Simpsons. They make fun Sex, Racism and Intolerance... it is freaking hilarius.

  13. Re:So what's next? on Cellphone Drivers Drive Like Drunks · · Score: 1

    So what's next?

    A driver android developed just to drive your car. Humans will not be able to drive since they are so distractable, you'll have to get a license for your droid. That's where we are going to.

  14. Brazilian Linux Live CD on 18 Live Linux CDs -- In A Row · · Score: 1

    There is a really neat Brazilian Linux Live CD called "Kurumin" (it means "boy" or "young man" in the Tupi language, which is used by some Brazilian indians tribes).

    It is based on Knoppix/Debian and it is supported by the Federal Government here in Brazil, being developed at the state university of campinas (http://www.unicamp.br/). It is used at schools and telecenters which supports the Digital Inclusion program. I've tryied it once here at my home and it worked great, it is fully in portuguese language.

    More info available at http://www.kuruminlinux.com.br/

  15. WndowMaker on Steve Jobs Demos NeXTSTEP 3.0 · · Score: 2

    If you find the demo compelling and want to try out NeXTSTEP for yourself, you can always go here or here to get started

  21. Free Drivers on NVIDIA's nForce Professional and Tyan's Words · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Finally, NVIDIA's SLI has been a hot topic here because, as of yet, we haven't seen Linux drivers that support this hot new feature. When we talked to NVIDIA about this we were finally given a time-line which stated that it may be a couple of months still.

    If the drivers were free software someone skilled enough would hack the missing features. Isn't about time to nVidia change its mind and release the sources?

  25. Re:Light Speed Travel on Blazing Speed: The Fastest Stuff In The Universe · · Score: 1

    According to Einstein, the faster you travel the time goes slower. If you accelerate to 99.9% of the speed of light, inside your "craft" it will pass one day while in Earth (or any other stationary object) ten years have gone by. There is an equation that govern this which is called time dilation. Theoreticaly if you achieve the speed of light the time will stop.
