  1. Sheel negceba?? on VIA Announces Lead-Free Motherboard · · Score: 0, Troll

    You know you can't just make up words, right?

  2. GCJ with Java+QT on GCC 3.4.0 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    FWIW: I have done some app development on Linux using Java compiled with GCJ with UI provided by QT (through the KDEBindings package). I found it worked quite well, and the app was very responsive (didn't feel nearly as clunky as Swing apps often do).

    My only complaint was that the occasional completely random feature seemed not to work, as though they had missed a few bindings.. I can't think of any examples, but it was nothing serious.

  3. Not to worry, that 1541 can live again.. on Linux's Achilles Heel Apparently Revealed · · Score: 1
    look here

    The XM1541 multitask cable is only a bit different from the XE1541 extended cable. It has two wires swapped at the Commodore end of the cable. This allows other transfer softwares to use interrupts rather than polling to do handshake with the Commodore drive under GNU/Linux.
    Let's see windows handle *that*!
  4. Not that useful.. on Free Optimizing C++ Compiler from Microsoft · · Score: 1

    ..even if you got it to run under WINE, it would still produce windows binaries, which also wouldn't run natively under linux.

  5. Re:lol! on Chatterbox Challenge Contest Underway · · Score: 2, Funny

    Q3: What do you enjoy?
    Bot: No, I'm not able to enjoy anything.
    Q4: What do you hate?
    Bot: I don't hate anything.
    Q5: How do you eat?
    Bot: It just comes naturaly to me. I can eat any time I want.
    Q6: Is snow cold?
    Bot: A hedgehog's heart beats 300 times a minute on average.
    Q7: What is the color of the sky?
    Bot: Fuck off.

    Just awesome.. I know plenty of people who speak less coherently than that!

  6. 2 eyed fish... on U.S. Prepares to Get Nuked · · Score: 4, Funny

    You know you're living in a radioactive area if these are hopping around!

  7. It's probably a misprint... on Review Of Verizon's New Wireless Network · · Score: 2, Funny

    ..up here in Ontario, Rogers cable offers boredband, where you click on links just like usual, then get bored waiting for pr0n on their so called "high speed network". It fucking rocks.

  8. Re:cloudy venus on Venus: The Forgotten Planet · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    i believe one of the reasons for such neglection

    Nice! A word that was considered obsolete in 1913.. Now that's cutting edge!

  9. Perl/CGI on Perl's Extreme Makeover · · Score: 1

    They probably meant "the world wide web" instead of the internet, and "rapid expansion" rather than initial contruction.. :)

    Perl/CGI played a huge part in the early days of dynamic web programming.

  10. Re:Dumbass alert on MyDoom.C Making Its Way Across The Net · · Score: 2, Informative

    Anyone infected by email virii should have their internet access revoked for being too damn stupid. Stop opening every fucking attachment you get, morons!

    Did you happen to notice the part where it said This new variant apparently doesn't spread via e-mail but instead scans for machines with an open TCP port 3127?

  11. Actual use. on A Bunch Of XML Recommendations · · Score: 1

    It's interesting to look at the W3C's description of XML: Its goal is to enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that is now possible with HTML. I wonder what fraction of the XML usage out there actually falls under that definition... God knows I've used it for config files, messaging, etc. far more than I've ever used it for processing stuff on the web. Maybe that's just me..

  12. No it's not.. on Worst Terms of Service Ever · · Score: 5, Informative

    They are serious, although it's written kinda tongue in cheek. They just didn't have a real lawyer available to write it for them, so they tried to make it all inclusive.

  13. CPRR's reply to the lawmeme article... on Worst Terms of Service Ever · · Score: 1

    ..is here: cprr Would you and your colleagues be willing to provide some assistance to make the language more to your liking? We hoped that you would notice our longstanding plea for help, acknowledging in the agreement that it is "completely ridiculous," quoting Shaw "I'm sorry this letter is so long, I didn't have time to write a short one" and imploring the legal community: "if you know of a better, simpler 'legally correct' way, do tell us how!"

    Have you considered just turning on javascript to block the image? :)

    If they really wanna make people less vulnerable to attack, they should start filtering all traffic that DOES look like MSIE..
