  1. Not popular in Bolivia either on Conectiva Linux 9 Review · · Score: 0

    I have seen a lot of red hat, fedora, mandrake, suse boxes but never one with connectiva

  2. Bolivia Prices on Broadband Pricing Across The World? · · Score: 0

    ADSL starts at 64 $USD/month for a 128kbps/64kbps connection.

    Price really sucks

    There are about 2 or 3 providers depending on which area you live. The price is quite the same with each provider.

  3. You forgot on Interview with OpenBeOS Leader Michael Phipps · · Score: 0

    The BeOS sound mixer. I remember you could control sound volume by application on the system mixer. Wasn't that great too?

  4. Getting bored of some things on SCO Letter to Fortune 1500 Now Online · · Score: 0

    I'm getting seriously convinced that this SCO vs linux thing is part of a BIG linux publicity campaign... A try to make linux mainstream media news in a kind of "impending news story" for everyone. A way to focus the camera and broadcast the "cute" linux fellas: Linus, Richard Stallman, and distracting us from the more ugly and unknown ones that I'm not going to mention... :D

    But I'm getting bored of some things, like bad drama, like the ever increasing absurdness from "special effect" driven hollywood movies...

    For the things I have seen already I would have ommited the incredible symbol font 'code obfuscation' technique used in that slides :P

    That and a lot of silly stuff like this fortune 1500 letter and the plans for going after bsd, and...

    Anyway I think I can't miss the next /. SCO's article... I'm hooked up

  5. hmmm on Linux 2.6.0-test11 Kernel Released · · Score: 0, Troll

    699 isn't that number l33t?

    almost 700

    but not quite

    just 699

    cool number

    is that for a full 2.4 kernel?

    just one license for one cpu?

    how many processors can I use to run that?

    do i get a discount on a 2.6 kernel license?

    I got some more questions...really, i'm interested

    Is there a GPL version of it?

    That would be really nice...

    Even if we had to pay something more

    like 6699

    what about 771177 ? i like that number

    I would to like to have a chance to thank the developers too

    Not giving them money, that would be unnecesary... they don't need it . They do it for free ...

    SUCKERS

    hahaha

    GO GO LINUX

  8. Am I wrong or on Superfast Optically-Based DSP Announced · · Score: 1

    Dupes have reduced dramatically from 'those times'?

    Kudos to editors for bringing the dupe rate that low

    Now, Come on... pour me with karma :D

  9. Re:If you're a hardware manufacturer... on LG CD-ROMs Destroyed by Mandrake 9.2 · · Score: 1

    If have looked into the site you point and there is barely a DVD recorder for all the category of cdrom devices.

    Even the site is too young or it just means that CDROM manufacturers are really away from linux and the linux user's respect.

  11. Come, take my Insightfulnes now on LG CD-ROMs Destroyed by Mandrake 9.2 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Me as a tech support of a cheapo cdrom buyers comunity (lg, creative, btc, benq, lite-on, even actima) have found that linux distros (red hat, mandrake, suse) always treats cdroms as shit . I mean having them spin at top revolutions all the time and such things. I have learned lessons installing linux distros from CDROM, enough to prefer to install from any other source at all costs, instead of shorten dramatically my cdrom lifecycle.

    What I don't understand is why windows generally knows better how to deal nicely with cdroms even with the new ones. As far as I know there aren't drivers specific to a model or brand embedded in windows and you don't install any normally. Obviously CDROMs are mainly designed for windows, but doesn't linux developers use this guidelines?

    Anyway for me this is a kind of selection. Shall the bad hardware die in the hands of the transparent ever growing monster.

    How much until we have "open" hardware?
