  1. Re:Only one that was even remotely intersesting on Five Custom Gadgets You Can't Buy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The falcon was on "the screen savers", & Yoshi built a cooler glass using computer parts. Of coarse G4 changed the focus of the show and it's not even interesting any more.

  3. pro linux? on Washington Post Buys Slate From Microsoft · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Didn't slate run a pro-linux story a while back? ... Coincidence, I think not.

    I was thinking the same thing. I'm actually a slackware subscriber.

    I tried a couple other distros on my laptop and they just didn't measure up.

  10. maildir on Thunderbird 1.0 RC1 Released · · Score: 0

    Does it support the maildir format yet or just mbox? This was a stumbling block for me when I tried a previous version and tried to share a mailbox with kmail rather than export & import all my mail.

  11. PHP on DOE Report on Cold Fusion · · Score: 0

    Not nearly as good as PHP ... ow wait.

  12. Re:KDE on Debian Announces Sarge Will Include GNOME 2.8 · · Score: 0

    The main reason is that KDE 3.3 in unstable started with some RC bugs

    They must be Debian bugs, not KDE bugs, because I've been running KDE 3.3 on slack since the day after it was released.

    Does anyone have any news re: Pat's condition?

  13. Re:Where's the proof. on Gentoo 2005.0: A Live CD And [No] Graphical Installer · · Score: 0

    Thanks for the insight. What I like about slackware is that it just works. I work on my computer every day, but I haven't worked on my computer in months. I install updates, but never have to make any real changes. Is gentoo that reliable?

  14. Where's the proof. on Gentoo 2005.0: A Live CD And [No] Graphical Installer · · Score: 0

    I use slackware. I hear a lot of gentoo users say how much faster their systems are because they're so "optimised". Is there any evidence to this? Is the speed difference in units bigger than milliseconds? I tried to install gentoo once but I quite when I wasn't finished after several hours.

  15. Weapon test? on NASA's Deep Impact · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is this a test of a planetary defence system? Imagine if the dinosaurs could have had one of those.

    Does anybody know if Pat is well enough to work on a ptch for this?

  17. What fat? on Filesystem Problems with the Treo 650s · · Score: 0

    fat is so ... 80s, they should have used something a little more modern like reiserfs.

  18. Daytona Beach on What is the Tech Jobs Situation in Late 2004? · · Score: 0

    I am a self employed web developer / php coder in florida. Most of my business comes from networking through Chamber of Commerce and other groups. Although I do some sub contract work for developers in other parts of the country. I have noticed a decrease in the amount of people willing to spend the money for a website. So I took a part time position teaching Tae Kwon Do in addition to my business.

    Has anybody put solaris on a Dell Inspiron 7500? I'd give it a try if I wouldn't be wasting my time. Anybody know about wifi support for old prism cards?

  24. 1995 minutes? on Novell Pulls Out Their Ace Against SCO · · Score: 0, Funny

    1995 minutes from the corporate kit of a meeting of the Board of Directors, which clearly and unequivocably say that Novell was to retain the UNIX copyrights in the sale to Santa Cruz that year.

    So is that 33.25 hours of a meeting, or was that the minutes of a meeting that happened in 1995?

  25. KDE or Gnome? on Novell Linux Desktop Released · · Score: 0, Interesting

    I thought Suse was supposed to be a KDE distro. The swf animations shows a Gnome desktop.
