  1. Re:It's about time on GIMP's Next-generation Imaging Core Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    Gimp needs a comunity to write plugins and documentation.

  2. Re:DRM on Teens Don't Buy Legit MP3s Because They Can't? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try eMusic. I *heart* their merge records and matador collection.

  3. Re:To really put things in perspective.. on Much Ado About Gas Prices · · Score: 1

    Public transportation here in Chicago is just fine. Driving from Evanston to Downtown Chicago, is not an option that is ever considered with the cost of parking, and the ease of just taking an El Train downtown.

  4. It's only natural on Teens Don't Think CD Copying is a Crime · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's only natural for a kid to share their favorite music with their friends. The only part of this that should be criminal is the quality of the music being exchanged in these swaps.

  5. Re:Awesome on Cutting out the Naughty Bits Ruled Illegal · · Score: 1

    They won't "fucking" kill themselves because they hate the profanity it contains.

  6. Re:Sounds scary on UBC Engineers Reach Mileage Of Over 3000 MPG · · Score: 1

    Kind of pointless to hold such a competition if it doesn't produce a usable vehicle.

  7. Re:Wallace was wearing the wrong trousers... on Wallace's Second Anti-GPL Suit Loses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We don't. We keep him on a lower court so he can throw cases out before they get a chance to get to the supreme court.

  8. Re:So it was not so wise to invest in Florida :) on Warmer Oceans linked to Stronger Hurricanes · · Score: 1

    Link I meant to post.

  9. Re:So it was not so wise to invest in Florida :) on Warmer Oceans linked to Stronger Hurricanes · · Score: 1

    Hurricanes still pop up on the radar below 27.

  10. Re:It's a nice sounding excuse. on Breaking Down Barriers to Linux Desktop Adoption · · Score: 1

    It needs root privs to add itself to the init scripts.

  11. Re:A plant on ReactOS Code Audit · · Score: 1

    The dev who did this was with the project for a while. I highly doubt that Birr was sent by microsoft. Besides the audit means that when microsoft comes to sue them, microsoft has no grounds to sue them one because all of the code has been cleaned.

  12. Re:A plant on ReactOS Code Audit · · Score: 1

    The accusation came from within by one of the developers.

  13. Indian proofreading? on Mistakes Found in 98% of US Patents · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Why would you have an indian proofread an english document?

  14. New L series lens in the works? on Physicists Close in on 'Superlens' · · Score: 2, Funny

    So could we be seeing a new Canon L series lens being made with these?

  15. Re:WTF! on Australian Senator Wants to Censor the Net · · Score: 1

    "And even then they will be unable to do anything about encrypted connections around the internet"

    Easy, lock down the client computer and take away the ssh client. Ditto for any other encryption client.

  16. Re:iTunes on Web Based Rhapsody Targets Linux · · Score: 1

    But eMusic, a real subscription based music service already supports both platforms.

  17. Re:Windows and Linux aren't the issue. on Impact of Daylight Savings Time Changes? · · Score: 1

    People tend to use more electricity when their awake. Things like lights are typically turned off at night. Televisions are turned off, and most electric cooking appliances. And most people don't use hair dryers when they sleep.

  18. Re:Winamp? on Plugin For Winamp Allows Downloading From iPod · · Score: 0, Redundant

    But amaroK is that good that it's worth it to switch to linux.

  19. Re:Plug-In Useless on Plugin For Winamp Allows Downloading From iPod · · Score: 1

    Those free songs are about as free as the people's republic of china, where you can express any oppinion as long as the commies agree with it.

  20. Re:Wow, news to me on Plugin For Winamp Allows Downloading From iPod · · Score: 1

    It's all in a hidden folder. And the thing is UMS. However, the music is stored in crypticly named folders. You'll need a search tool to find your music.

  21. Re:Winamp? on Plugin For Winamp Allows Downloading From iPod · · Score: 1

    Use amaroK. I'm really liking it.

  22. Re:Been using a MX510 since it came out on Top Mice Compared · · Score: 1

    The battery in the MX700 is not really a problem. Just charge it when your not using it. Even the most hardcore /.ers have to take breaks for things like meals and sleeping. And yes, cheap optical mice suck.

  23. Re:A Great Deal About Nothing on Top Mice Compared · · Score: 1

    Better mice are better. Your right, that for most people, accuracy of the mouse is meaningless. But for some, like gamers, the more accurate the better.

  24. Re:Best Investments on Top Mice Compared · · Score: 1

    If your investing in a good mouse, don't forget what your using it on. I use my MX700 on func surface 1030, on the rough side. I also use teflon mouse feet covers.

  25. Re:Been using a MX510 since it came out on Top Mice Compared · · Score: 1

    Wires suck. And I'm perfectly happy with my MX700.
