  3. I'm Not Going Back! on Meeting With Netpliance · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but NetPliance has already ruined any chance it ever had of doing business with me.

  4. Re:Stay away from Windows on What Do You Use For Digital Video Editing? · · Score: 2
    Windows 98 doesn't have a 2GB limit on filesystem sizes. That's the FAT16 limit. Use a FAT32 partition and you won't have to worry about that.

    Also, of course you're having problems capturing video. Dropping frames right? Add some more RAM and for the love of God, use SCSI!

  5. Plastic or Crystal? on Holy Grail "Opt-Chip" - 100GB/sec? · · Score: 1
    CNN Headline News was talking about how there was a ongoing battle between the guys doing this stuff with plasitc and the guys doing this stuff with crystal.

    So is the Opt-Chip plastic or crystal?

  6. Re:This is why free is not better on Unix Backup And Recovery · · Score: 1
    Sure it does, because you still need X dollars of documentation for Win2k also. Except that all the books have the words "for Dummies" in the title.

    And for good reason too! :-)

    While the masochistic diehards must always insist that the command-line is the only way, more reasonable people will say, hey, there are something you can only do with the command line. For all the rest, I'll go with something simpler and easier, so that I could get more done.

    But if you really want to get more done, the command line is always faster.

    Anyone with an understanding of user interfaces will tell you about the horribly inefficiencies of the Windows OS.

    Just think what all this money would do if it was used as a scholarship fund...

    Why doesn't this argument apply to DeCSS?

  19. Re:Awesome! on Flat Panel Linux Box for $99? · · Score: 1

    Man that would suck... the IDE bus is bad enough but... man... that would just suck. :-)

  20. Codebase Release on Walnut Creek CDROM And BSDi To Merge · · Score: 1

    Please provide a downloadable codebase of the BSD/OS source ASAP. There are several projects that will benefit from your generosity. When will the existing BSD/OS source be available?

  21. Civil Law Suit? on Web Censors Prompt College To Consider Name Change · · Score: 2

    Since potential students can't reach their website, what would keep them from filing a civil law suit against the censoring companies?

  22. The SunOS Kernel! on Looking at UltraSPARC III · · Score: 1

    Do you realize that the same kernel that will power a 1024 CPU machine is used for a 1 processor computer?

  23. More Stories! on Slashdot's 10,000th Story · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or does /. not post as many stories as they did before the takeovers? It seems like these companies are trying to make /. better when they are just slowing it down. Tell them to give money for more bandwidth and faster servers and then tell them to get out of the way! :-)

    So basically they can cut your pay to $0 until you quit and slashdot is theirs?
