  1. Re:Sounds interesting... on Progeny Releases Beta 1 of Progeny Debian 2.0 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Why choose between Gentoo and Anaconda when now you can have both: http://gentoo.vidalinux.com/?q=node/view/35

  2. Re:HAHAHA Gentoo on Netcraft: Red Hat Still Top Linux Server Distro · · Score: 4, Funny

    As a Gentoo user, it's nice to see that they have 1% of Linux's 1%. Sort of the fringe of the fringe.

  3. Re:AOpen Motherboard with *VACUUM TUBE* audio! on Tubes vs Transistors: An Audible Difference? · · Score: 1

    It's too bad they used a crappy chip with it (via). Does look very cool though. Oh, I forgot, almost every sound card is crap! (saving up for RME Hammerfall)

  4. Re:commercial? on Commercial DVD Software Comes to Linux · · Score: 1

    If someone is poor and can't afford to go to college, you can still learn all you need about computers for nothing, just time and effort. That is if you're using free software. Learning to compile mplayer with libdvdcss is a good start. I'm a high school drop out and have to ACTUALLY WORK, you know, physical labour. It only requires grade four skills, but still pays $35,000 a year. Would like to go to college but can't afford the cut in pay/benefits that come with most technology jobs these days. And I won't have to move to India either.

  5. Re:commercial? on Commercial DVD Software Comes to Linux · · Score: 0, Troll

    So who should I give myself up to, Jack Valenti? And if you come to my house aristotle-dude, I'll teach ya what they didn't in college.

  6. Re:good news on Commercial DVD Software Comes to Linux · · Score: 1

    Yes, apparently you are the only one. If anyone asks, I tell them my dog ate my license.

  7. Re:commercial? on Commercial DVD Software Comes to Linux · · Score: 1, Troll

    And where are you today? Complaining to people that don't have it as good as you in Slashdot. And what did they teach you in college? They taught you to think you're smart. A truly smart person would use Xine or Mplayer and keep the $69 for something worthwhile. Finally, if someone wants to write software to do something that already exists for free and wants to get paid for it they can go hungry.

  8. Re:My Top 10 List on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 1

    How about rpm -e rpm. Makes upgrades very difficult.

  9. Re:Fear of mind altering drugs. on Lysergically Yours · · Score: 1

    Get a good pair of headphones and put on The Who's Tommy or The Allman Brothers Live At The Fillmore East.

  10. Re:This probably makes ESR Drool on Does A Pentium 4 Need A Weapons License? · · Score: 1

    You can have my P4 when you pry it from my
    cold dead fingers...

  11. Re:Wait... on Slackware Chooses X.org Server Over XFree86 · · Score: 1

    Don't know about "friendliest", but definitely Slackware and Gentoo get it right. Everything else seems lame. (Including "debian's latest installer")

  12. Re:SuSE Professional 9.1 sold out!! on Fedora Core 2 Dud or Dodo? · · Score: 1

    Or so the Germans would have you believe.

  13. Re:A truly global economy on Intel Chief: Don't Call Us Benedict Arnold CEOs · · Score: 1

    Basically we have to compete with other countries because corporations and governments have been taking the money generated here in North America and investing it in businesses in those countries. It seems to me to be poor planning to hope that all the chips will just fall into place once full "globalization" takes place. You can only slice the pie so many ways.

  14. I know what Jack Valenti would say to all this... on Instant Live Concert Recordings · · Score: 1

    Un-fucking-believable!

  15. Re:Beautiful on Another Fan-Made TRON Costume · · Score: 1

    Yes, I for one would not have enough confidence in my masculinity to do what this fine fellow has. And I am thankful for that.

  16. Re:Nuclear on A New Ice Age? · · Score: 1

    Now all you have left to do is get a President who can pronounce nuclear.

  17. Re:It sounds like... on Sir Tim Berners-Lee Lauded For Web Efforts · · Score: 1

    Act dumb. Shouldn't be difficult.

  18. Re:I don't give a shit. on Sir Tim Berners-Lee Lauded For Web Efforts · · Score: 1

    Just remember: When you get out of bed, it's feet first.

  19. Re:Little guys can't fight a giant... on Lindows Changes Name to 'Linspire' · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm sure they were linspired by the linvoices from their legal department.

  20. Re:CTO of Cray? on Cray CTO: Linux clusters don't play in HPC · · Score: 1

    When we need someone to calculate how many hockey pucks it would take to reach Uranus we'll give him a call.

  21. Re:I think I speak for everyone when I say... on 2004: Year of the Penguin? · · Score: 1

    Please no more comments from people complaining about too many articles claiming this to be the year of Linux. It's getting too silly.

  22. Re:it's a terrible idea on The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth · · Score: 1

    Funny. I had to get the man page out to understand, but funny.

  23. Re:hikikomori - anyone know someone who has this? on The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth · · Score: 1

    You couldn't have gotten much better, you still read Slashdot!

  24. Re:it's a terrible idea on The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth · · Score: 1

    Me thinks the author makes a critical mistake. Are people escaping reality or REJECTING reality?

  25. Re:The Government is Stupid on A Need for Greater Cybersecurity · · Score: 1

    You mean educate the people who are letting someone from Nigeria put money into their bank accounts while they devise ways to spend it on penis enlargers and viagra. Go ahead.
