  1. Iceland / Vikings on Ask Slashdot: How Exportable is Linux? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for telling me. I am half Danish half Icelandic so I know. Iceland is part of Nato FYI. If you must know England has been an "Aggressor" as late as 1960. They had a big bruhaa over fishing rights with British Navy protecting the Scottish Trawlers. My point was Iceland are not going to do anything. If you dont like Iceland pick Andorra. PS. Most Vikings were softies they just got bad press ;)

  2. National states are an anacronism on Ask Slashdot: How Exportable is Linux? · · Score: 2

    I agreed with you. The concept of National states are an anacronism and root to much evil. The best way to get rid of this concept is render it irrelevant. Long live the Web. Get the source code from the weakest link in this Nationalism Chain. Download from Iceland (These 360,000 brave people does not have an army) and you are probably safe.

  3. Re:Next you'll be claiming... on 2600 publishes FBI's inflated Mitnick money figures · · Score: 1

    You Write: "I'm sure most of the field agents are dedicated, hard working individuals". Thats not my take. From personal experience where FBI was contacted in am attempt to find a missing person, the Agents has below par IQ and couldn't find their behind with both hands.

  4. Win95 in bank machines on Betting your farm on Linux? · · Score: 1

    I remember seing this as well. It was is Ireland and believe it or not it was Windoze, not NT
    Scarry

  5. Mindcraft disappointed they were not asked on MS breakup will cost $30 billion? · · Score: 1

    Mindcraft has issued a press release stating that had they been asked they could have cococted a MUCH higher number. "We are disappointed by this lack of imagination and restrain shown by ACT, our Fiercly Unimpeeded Detailing (FUD) methodology would have yielded much more useful data for the defendant" claims Mindcraft

  6. Reinventing the wheel.. on Linux is a waste of time? · · Score: 1

    This guy forgot that MS office is a reinvent itself. Visicalc/ Lotus being first Spreadsheet. Remember Samna (later WordPro). Havard Graphics before Powerpoint Etc etc.

  7. RE: Amazing! Religion Kills on Why Kids Kill · · Score: 1

    Religion has killed and will kill more people than armed teenagers ever will.

  8. Scandinav! on Can Linux Do it? · · Score: 1

    Hvorfor ikke lade Linus vaere Scandinav saa vi Danske ogsaa kan faa lidt af hans glorie?? ;)

  9. Ben Rosen . Smart as they come.. on Compaq's CEO Resigns · · Score: 1

    Ben Rosen Is as smart as they come. He used to cover the sc industry back in the late 70's before he got involved in VC and he was the best in the business. He has a firm technology grip, much better than Eckhard Pfeiffer that I used to work for (Directly). This was back in the TI days.

  10. FYI, Monty Python Whole series airing in Dallas on Doom Causes Kid to Kill · · Score: 1

    If you live in North Texas you can watch the Whole series (45 episodes) from M-W, 11pm to 1am. This month on channel 13 / PBS.

  11. That where the money is. on Doom Causes Kid to Kill · · Score: 1

    The reason they do not sue the parents of the killers is that they haven't got any money. This is instigated by some greedy lawyer and has nothing to do with justice. Why go to Vegas when you have the local courts just nearby.

  12. Profoundly Clever Joke get ACLU in on the act on Web Sites Shut Down · · Score: 1

    This is a scream. Its not only a funny (ha ha) but very cleverly funny. It sends a strong message on the right to free speech. On a serious note I think the site owners needs to contact ACLU if not already done.

  13. Nobody believes the local guy. on IDC's first ever forecast about Linux · · Score: 2

    Good post. I used to work for fortune 50 company here in Dallas. Data like this was used all the time for product development decisions even though we all (I mean ALL incl the people making the decisions) new they pulled the forecast out of their behind. It somehow made us all feel better using someones elses BS, and it had a fair amount of CYA attached to it. I agree that this kind of info is Very important.

  14. Uh oh, here comes the real FUD on Red Hat to ignore LSB? · · Score: 1

    Why would CNN have any interest in FUD'ing Linux. The wants to "sell" news. If you do not think we can just ignore articles like this come up with something more "News" worthy. Second, I think most /. folks know the issues and are not afraid of RH morphing into MS. If the rest of the world thinks so, maybe its not so bad. To some extend it would strengthen Linux mindshare.

  15. This is sound debate not flame on OSI APSL Response · · Score: 1

    This is a usefull debate with questions being asked and answered. This is how it should be.

  16. US centric on A Celebration of Pi · · Score: 1

    This whole PI date is too US centric. What we need is at least 15 month in the year and we will all celebrate on the 3'th day of that month.

  17. Open Source on HP Releases gdb-derived Debugger · · Score: 1

    This is probably a major trend. The well established vendors offering Open source and propriatary at the same time. This is a real opportunity for GNU etc to win on technical merits

  18. Judge Sanders is the worst example... on Judge Seeks Ban on Legal Software · · Score: 1

    I live in Texas and has had dealings with Mr sanders. As most judges here he is incompetent and proud of it. Further he thinks he is gods gift to humankind, as does most other judges here.

  19. So am I the first to get a compile error? on Linux 2.2 Released · · Score: 1

    I got the same error and recompiled after changing the sound/sb_ess.c as oer your suggestion. This time it compiled fine but system sounds is real choppy. The speed of the box seems better though.
    Thanks for your help anyway

  20. Site advertise Win only S/W on Refund for Windows action · · Score: 1

    The refund site advertises History tree or some such thing. It run on win9x only.
    Give me a break.
