  1. Speed on News from Mars · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How much time does it take it to grind a rock compared to the amount of time it takes to move one meter?

  2. Re:The Fallacy of Cracking Contests on Crack the Code and Win a Million Bucks · · Score: 1

    Just thought i'd quote this from your link: "He knows the ciphertext and the plaintext." "he" is referring to the attacker. The whole point of a cryptanalysis is to find out what the plaintext is...

  3. StrongBad on UK Mobile Providers Introduce WAP Censorship · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Will this stop me getting at strongbad email on my phone?

  4. Re:Next step - better apps on KDE 3.2 Release Candidate 1 Debuts · · Score: 1

    Mozilla Firebird - looks great in KDE, but has rendering bugs for slashdot Opera - proprietary, but IMO the best browser around - only thing is the menu bars don't look great in SUSE unless I use a font from the thai fonts package (no I am not thai, but a friend who is thai found that one of the thai fonts looks really good for english w/o anti-aliased text) - dunno why it doesnt anti-alias the menu bar - everything else is.

  5. Look at the dates fool. on Copyrighted Haiku Delivers Spam Through Filters · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Main article refers to a spam attack started in 2004, your link refers to a spam attack in 2003, so i find it unlikely that they are referring to the same case unless habeus have a time machine.

  6. Re:speedos? on Linux Conf 2004 Gives in Many Ways · · Score: 1

    no one in UK does...

  7. speedos? on Linux Conf 2004 Gives in Many Ways · · Score: 2, Funny

    who wears speedos nowadays anyway...

  8. Re:Another year... on Linus Says 2004 is the Year for Desktop Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    True about IM protocols, but "serious gaming" is rather vague... i'm perfectly happy with americas army and several other unreal and quake games :) Fast boot times - on slackware with a 2.4.23 kernel with pre-empt and parralel bootscripts, i'm at the kdm login screen in 3 seconds from pressing the power button (1.4ghz laptop with 314mb ram...)

  9. Re:Installation/uninstallation. on Linus Says 2004 is the Year for Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    i've used kpackage on slackware, suse, redhat, and mandrake with no problems.

  10. End users? on SCO Responds to OSDL Legal Aid Announcement · · Score: 1

    From what i've read SCO have said that *every* user of linux needs a license from them - yeah right, but supposing they do actually have a case and are fooling us all: From www,sco.com/scosource: "The license would apply to all commercial users of Linux based on a 2.4 or later kernel" (my emphasis) Is it just me or is this yet another contradiction?

  11. Re:This plus popunders? ne The other way to pay. on Finding MD5 Collisions With Chinese Lottery · · Score: 1

    What about people who have disabled java?

  12. Re:Linus about Mac OS X? on Linus Holds Forth On the Future of Linux · · Score: 1

    "Linux on the desktop seems to have done its best to imitate Windows on the desktop. If you want a user interface better than a pale imitation of Microsoft, then MacOS X is your OS." thats just kde + gnome example 1: xfce example 2: fluxbox (my choice)

  13. Re:Apache Problems on Apache HTTP Server 1.3.29 Released · · Score: 1

    /me remembers seeing this word-for-word in a thread yesterday with the word Apache swapped for Linux...

  14. Re:webserver written in Postscript! on Apache HTTP Server 1.3.29 Released · · Score: 1

    This is great :) thanks for the laugh

  15. Link above logs you out on Apache 2.0.48 Released · · Score: 1

    Just thought i'd say - the link is a logout link

  16. Re:DMCA? on SCO Now Willfully Violating the GPL · · Score: 1

    dunno if it's true, but one of the higher up posts said that their upstream provider is in the same corporate group ;)

  17. Re:Linux Documentation on The Linux Documentation Project Turns 10 · · Score: 1

    kde also supports this - but i use fluxbox :) also, the man2html output is much better IMO than the kioslave :) (hyperlinks actually work...)

  18. Re:Linux Documentation on The Linux Documentation Project Turns 10 · · Score: 2, Informative

    "man man2html" :) I have an html version of all the manpages on my apache webserver, much more readable
