  1. Re:Good on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 2, Informative

    Much easier than putzing with URLs is to right click on any search text field and select Add a Keyword for this Search and it creates the bookmark for you. Even handles POST variables.

  2. Finally some progress on New Algorithm for Learning Languages · · Score: 2, Funny

    I know we all feel like we've been screwed by the conspicuous lack of flying cars around these days, but at least some progress is being made on the Universal Translator front...

  3. DIdn't they want this? on Mozilla Foundation in More Development Trouble · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wasn't there a /. article a few weeks ago about how elite the firefox devs were and how they wouldn't tell anyone how to be part if the "inner circle" because figuring it out was part of the secret handshake bull$#!+. And now they are running out of people with no community support? Hmm, I wonder why. Am I reading that wrong or are they getting what they asked for?

  4. Re:An honest question.. on Infineon Execs Plead Guilty to Price-Fixing · · Score: 3, Informative
    These companies make upwards of millions of dollars and you fine them a quarter of a million?
    That is the fine for the individuals involved. The company was fined $160,000,000. That's slightly more painful.
  5. Re:Linux? on NZX Moves To Oracle On Linux · · Score: 1
    as far as I know it does handle them better then Linux currently does.
    even with the new NPTL?
  6. Re:I've never really understood... on Xiph Releases Ogg Theora Alpha-3 · · Score: 1
    Why leading companies (eg. Creative, Apple, etc.) consistently fail to support, or even downright ignore the Ogg format
    As much as I would love to see Apple, Creative et al support ogg, I'm afraid its never going to happen exactly because its a free format. These companies probably _hate_ the fact that they have to support mp3 at all because they can't control what people do with it. Ironically enough, it was/is the popularity of mp3 that created this market to begin with. However, in the end, there is little or no motivation to support another uncontrollable format.
  7. significant? on Novell Announces SUSE Linux 9.1 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "...providing the only significant retail Linux products on the market. " Really? I thought I saw others floating around my local CompUSA...

  8. Re:Unfortunate on Lindows becomes Lindash · · Score: 1

    It's just Windows with an L instead of a W.

    Hey, wait a minute... holy $#!+, you are absolutely right. Wow, that's pretty clever, the play on words, you know. Admn, it even rhymes. What will they think of next...
