    BOOT, TO - THE - HEAD!

    Ahem.

  2. OK... on SCO Adds Copyright Claim to IBM Suit · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't think we ought to be pissed off at SCO.

    The root of the problem is Darl's crack habit. Never has the war on drugs been so needed :)

  3. Re:Reporters.. on The World of Virus Writers · · Score: 1

    Yes, but then if more people move to Linux/BSD/$PLATFORM, surely the virus writers will follow? I don't know how easy it would be to get KMail to install a KPart that kills random processes or something, but I'm sure that even the least inclined of kiddies could hack together something, and frankly I don't much care, but once the Linux desktop reaches critical mass there will be virus writers following.

  4. Do not diss the BBC. on Linux Going Mainstream · · Score: 1
    I'm told that they exist, even at the BBC.

    The BBC is possibly the closest thing we have to impartial journalism, even counting all the Hutton bullshit. It's far better than having large news networks controlled by massive megacorps. So DO NOT TAKE THE PISS. We have a kickass TV service, impartial journalism and a damn fine radio service, thanks to the BBC. Don't diss.
  5. In other news... on Groklaw Traces Contribution of ABIs back to SCO. · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sky reported to be blue after extensive research.

  6. Re:George Bush on Whose Desktop Would You Most Like To See? · · Score: 1

    It looks like you're writing a State of the Union address. Would you like Word to help you?

    * Yes
    * No
    * I can't read or write

  7. A far simpler way to get friends online on Google Social Network: Orkut · · Score: 1

    1: Open ICQ.
    2: Either use Random Chat, put some fun criteria into Find User or add 251696825 (me).

    Let the good times roll.

    Quite why we need all of this bullshit about having to be asked to join is lost in the mists of time.

  8. Four words.... on SCO Lobbying Congress Against Open Code · · Score: 1

    TOTAL AND UTTER BULLSHIT.

    What's sad is that Congress will buy this word for word, and then we will be fucked royally. The Administration will start to rule the GPL as the about 4 words and that will be the end of this once fine movement.

    And, would someone like Apple please step in? They're open sourcers. So are IBM. And they can most likely kick ass and take names.

  9. Re:Uh, the landfill on Where Will IBM Drop Windows? · · Score: 1

    I was thinking more of, say, Love Canal...

  10. This is news? on Ohio Also Passes Law Against Recording In Cinema · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So Ohio passes a law making sure that at least there are less pirate movies. What is wrong with that?

  11. So? on The Hidden Costs of Bargain Electronics · · Score: 1

    Buying cheap shit hurts people in other countries. We've seen it all before, with Nike et al. What's new about this?

    Also, the same is happening in America-people are getting poisoned in Intel factories. Not good.

  12. Re:Some major and minor predictions. on More Linux Predictions for 2004 · · Score: 1

    "Resolution and refresh rate changing on the fly (ala Windows since 9x) will finally appear in desktop distros."

    Er, fuck off.

    In Fedora Core, I can go Red Hat Menu > Preferences > Screen Resolution and can change both of those instantly.

  13. Re:Perhaps... on More Linux Predictions for 2004 · · Score: 1

    Bring on the vodka.

  14. Re:Yeah, right. on Top Searches of 2003, A Dave Odyssey, Banned Words for 2004 · · Score: 1

    Aha! Number 8 refers to the Paris Hilton Sex Tape, which is, in fact, porn.

    Nice one, Yahoo...

  15. Re:Tell Alan what you think! on Alan Ralsky Gripes About Can Spam Act · · Score: 1

    Too bad there's not a goatse mailing list, cos he would be *so* on there by now :)

  16. Re:What about Everything2? on Wikipedia Needs $20K · · Score: 1

    " If E2 goes bankrupt and folds, all articles are irretrievably lost."

    I'm sure the E2 people would at least make SOME effort to keep the work alive.

  17. What about Everything2? on Wikipedia Needs $20K · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As much as I admire Wikipedia, I must say that on the whole I prefer Everything2. It allows for a personal edge that Wikipedia just doesn't have.

  18. Re:They don't care... yet. on Microsoft at the Tipover Point · · Score: 1

    Uh, they'd have to give code back. Think GPL.

  19. Re:Magic Floppy Porno Disk? on Security Tips for Traveling with Tech Gear · · Score: 1

    Y'know, I'd love to see what would happen if the police jack me in for something computer related.

    I use Linux, and have no FAT32/NTFS partitions. Considering how enamoured the British govt are with Bill, they'd probably be unable to do anything except wipe it.

  20. The scammed guy reminds me of a song on Nigerian Scammers Claim Another Victim · · Score: 1

    From the outtakes of Austin Powers 3, to the tune of "Old McDonald Had A Farm"

    "F.R.I.C.K.I.N
    I.D.I.O.T!
    With a frick frick here

    everywhere a frick frick

    Albert Gore had a network
    filled with...frick, in idioooooots..."

  21. Obligatory Futurama Quote on New Survey Finds No Linux 'Chill' From SCO Suit · · Score: 1

    "In an ironic little twist of fate, that meant that for a couple of projects we purchased IBM P-series boxes and AIX rather than deploying on Linux."

    That's not ironic, that's just a good idea!

  22. Re:Gates and Allen on Internet History In Pictures · · Score: 1

    It's amazing how they popularised OS X KDE themes.

  23. Re:The insanity continues..... on Linus Blasts SCO's Header Claims · · Score: 1

    Anybody want to make a dancing Flash Darl, who gets down to Red Alert by Basement Jaxx?

    "Red alert, red alert it's a catastrophe
    But don't worry, don't panic
    We got no code in the kernel tree
    But it's alright...just don't panic!"

  24. Re:Slashdottism on Looking Back At Windows Security In 2003 · · Score: 5, Funny

    No shit, I installed XP and I already had Blaster. I hadn't installed anything, downloaded email, downloaded anything, but it was there.

    This, if you don't know, is called Microsoft Security :)
