  1. Seriously on One-Man Star Wars Trilogy in Chicago · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Instead it was a thrilling hour of this guy jumping around reenacting Star Wars and doing voices and it was wonderful, and he brought the whole audience along.

    Seriously, start dating.

  2. Re:Typical on What the Candidates are Running · · Score: 1



    Let's rephrase this, people don't vote for "likability " in the actual election. Since most major elections come down to a democrat vs a republican people actually vote for who supports their respective beliefs.

    The primaries however are all about "likability". For 85% of the population the party they will vote for is predecided. Those that are disgusted with their primary winner normally won't vote.

  3. One of the primary motivations on Dispelling the IPv4 Address Shortage Myth · · Score: 1

    for implementing ipv6 is not necessarily that we will run out of IPs but that IPs will become too expensive for ordinary people and small businesses. Jason

  4. This is a good thing. on Novell Announces Agreement to Acquire SUSE · · Score: 1


    I think this is one of the best things that could happen to Linux. Novell is still a powerhouse and has a lot of sway with major corporations. Suse is not my favorite distribution but has a lot of loyal followers. Acquiring this customer base will allow them to handcraft viable desktops for corporate use.

    With Open Exchange Server They will be able to market a complete computing model to a lot of companies. Lets just hope they honor open source licenses and return the favour to the community.

  5. Re:Protect Personal Privacy! on FCC Proposes Fining AT&T Over DNC Violation · · Score: 1

    No doubt. It is one thing to send junk mail but it is another to abuse an optional service that a consumer pays for.

    I highly doubt anyone signs up for a land line simply to get unsolicited advertisements from strangers. Landlines are generally used for personal and emergency use. Caller ID is one of the best features on wrt phones. If I dont recognize it I dont pick it up. However that doesnt prevent them from interrupting me during dinner or the like.

    If a business wants to advertise feel free to continue sending junk mail, using tv/radio commercials, and billboards (environmentally ugly but better than calls IMHO).

    It is unfortunate that people will end up loosing their jobs over this legislation. However once oil production becomes less predominant I will not mourn for the drillers/refiners jobs either. There are plenty of other opportunities available if you look and put in the effort.
