  1. Re:Just To Be Clear... on Should Enterprise IT Give Back To Open Source? · · Score: 1

    And do you contribute back as much as you get to all the FOSS projects whose software you use?

    he's talking about companies. so does the blurb. so does TFA. so does the rest of the thread.

    RCP. Read, Comprehend, Post.

  2. Re:not very interesting on Mozilla and Google's "Don't-Be-Evil" Bulldozer · · Score: 1

    Aside from webmail and Outlook (which is $$), there's Thunderbird, and... okay, Eudora is probably still around, Pegasus Mail probably isn't dead yet.... and, ah.... idunno, Thunderbird's kinda the big one in any geek's repertoire.

    Opera Mail, best mail. Mail.app is pretty spiffy too.

  3. Re:Two Ends of the Cable on When Your Backhoe Cuts "Black" Fiber · · Score: 5, Funny

    But what IEEE spec covers that? It's IEEE1984, isn't it?

    fixed that for you.

  4. Re:Here, I'll summarize. on Sarah Connor Chronicles — Why It Died · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Indeed, and IIRC, T1 has Reese explicitly saying that records were lost after the war, so all they had to go on was the mother's name.

    aand... a time machine? problem solved. what the fuck?

  5. Re:Firefox, the laptop killer: 200 CPU hogging bug on Mozilla Preparing To Scrap Tabbed Browsing? · · Score: 1

    easier: install Opera.

  6. Re:I can see it now on Mozilla Preparing To Scrap Tabbed Browsing? · · Score: 1

    With all the 16:9 and 16:10 wide format screens now, moving the tabs to the side would make more sense.

    I don't know what the default behaviour is, but some extension I have (tabmixplus?) allows me to have multiple rows of tabs so the things are actually readable when you have many open. so this sounds like an extension job to me, not a world shattering innovation.

    anyway, what's with all the stupid ideas lately? is the browser finally lean and fast? all memory leaks plugged?

  7. Re:20 years? on Maddog's New Hampshire "Unix" Plate Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Man, I can't imagine living 20 years in one state.

    maybe he's not a gipsy.

  8. Re:No - there are plenty of safer alternatives on Microsoft To Banish Memcpy() · · Score: 1

    drool all over the keyboard and move on to the next sloppy bit of code.

    that sounds like most people at my workplace.

  9. Re:Umm... on SpringSource Acquires Hyperic, Possibly Set to Target Microsoft and IBM · · Score: 2, Funny

    I read the full article, jackass. Sorry to ruin your /. stereotype.

    you must be new here. oh, wait...

  10. I'm not saying that SpringSource is the IBM/MS Killer. I was just trying to give context to a company that [...]

    maybe they just misunderstanded you.

  11. oh goody on OpenBSD 4.5 Released · · Score: 4, Insightful

    NetBSD 5 yesterday, OpenBSD 4.5 today and a three day weekend ahead.

    *fap*

  12. Re:So where is it used? on NetBSD 5.0 Released · · Score: 1

    off the top of my head the Super Dimensional Fortress and (afaik) Android uses the NetBSD userland with a Linux kernel.

  13. Re:Remote admin of a UNIX box? on Cross-Distro Remote Package Administration? · · Score: 1

    I use dsh + key auth on all boxen.

  14. Re:I'm so going to get flamed... on Sun Announces New MySQL, Michael Widenius Forks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Linux kernel and Plone being a couple of good examples. Both of those projects are structured very differently to the MySQL situation though as no one company is trying to make a living off the code.

    RedHat and SUSE might disagree with you on that one.

  15. Re:Clever but... on Using Conficker's Tricks To Root Out Infections · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Now forgive me but people like my parents (running Windows 98 until last year, now on XP) with no idea about security, no anti-virus scanner (despite my lectures over the phone) and no idea what the symptoms of a virus, worm or other malware, are not going to find this information, nor know what to do with it if they did.

    I think you're the only fucking idiot on Slashdot that thinks nmap's target audience is clueless parents. I wonder if there's an achievement for that.

  16. Re:Shadowbane was amazing on Ubisoft To Shut Down Shadowbane · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Shadowbane wasn't about gold, loot or missions though there was plenty of that. It was about full on guild vs guild battles. I've never really found a MMO with quite the same experience.

    while not on the fantasy side, EVE Online has the most epic-drama-fueled-PVP where conflicts between thousands of players are a regular day to day thing.

  17. Re:Exams on World of Warcraft 3.1 Patch Brings Dual-Specs, New Raid · · Score: 1

    Why yes, quite frequently, in my bed. And yes, she's a real person, and no, I'm not paying for it.

    wow, twitterverse? really? I also think I saw a try at twittersphere. what will they think of next?

  19. Re:Didn't block for me? on Amazon Culls "Offensive" Books From Search System · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    My god, if they would filter crap like brokedick fountain I would actually use Amazon. I'd consider that an improvement.

    you still in the closet?

  20. Re:Atheists would fight for your religious books on Amazon Culls "Offensive" Books From Search System · · Score: 1

    Please stop claiming to be atheist until you confront your fears, you make the rest of us look stupid.

    I don't think you need any help to look stupid.

    [digg related bullshit]

    was this somehow related to the recent batshit crazy bitching^W^W^Wstudy about bandwidth impact of long URLs? I swear, digg users are the cancer that's killing the interwebs.

    Nerd bullshit. And not the good kind.

    as a real nerd (the kind with lotsa shells open, computers and a crazy look in his eyes) I take offense that you'd call these web-two-point-oh lamers "nerds". please take it back. thanks.

    [Twatter] basically replaced IM for me, and in some cases short emails.

    you're what I'd call a lamer.

  24. Re:Would you trust StalkDaily? on Twitter Gets Slammed By the StalkDaily XSS Worm · · Score: 1

    Twitter is similar to Myspace in about the same way as a frog is similar to World of Warcraft.

    they're both stupid?
