    No. And a six-digit TLD is even worse.

  2. Re:28 is the solution on Can Software Kill? · · Score: 1

    Ah, so the group of 28 people are the current Slashdot comment posters. Wonder how such a disperesed group of people could get killed all at once. Probably the browser presents you with something that drives you insane and causes you to pull a knife on yourself. Maybe RealPlayer?

    LOL!!! 'Nuff Said.

    Actually, when Richard Stallman spoke at my school a couple of years ago, he was saying that generally useful scientific information should be shared freely, and somehow he threw sex techniques into the mix. Don't recall whether he said he'd just appreciate it, or that it would be useful if it were shared all over society. But he mentioned it about the same time he said that cooking recipes can't be copyrighted.

  5. Re:The list of channels in play... on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I have no problem getting reruns. What I want are some new episodes.

  6. Re:The list of channels in play... on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I can live without any of those channels, except it would suck to not have the Daily show. Cartoon Network is really the only cable network that has anything good on anymore. Sealab 2020, Space Ghost, Aquatine Hunger Force, and my personal favorite, Home Movies (if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it).

    MTV is such crap. They had an excellent show, Clone High, which they cancelled. As far as I'm concerned, Viacom can screw themselves.

    And Comedy Central is just boring most of the time. I can't figure out how Dave Attell earned the title of "Comedian". All he does is just take us around shitty neighborhoods chatting with stupid people. If I wanted to see that, I would watch Cops.

    And I'm unclear what you mean by 'all three formats'.

    From the grandparent:

    and most people don't want to configure and support Quicktime, Real, and Windows Media.

    There you go! That wasn't that hard, now, was it?

    That's it. I'm switching to Linux! /rant

    Sounds like a plan to me!

    PATENTED. Us US folk will have to do it another way for the next 20+yr.

  10. I'd vouch for that. on A Look at the Upcoming GNOME 2.6 · · Score: 1

    I mean, come on. What UI are gnome devs trying to imitate, that they can't have the Esc key close dialogue boxes? Now Galeon, by popular demand, has put code in to make the find dialog box closable by the Esc key. I wish the core Gnome devs would follow their lead. I don't run Gnome, but I do run a couple Gnome apps.

  11. Re:However, open source == better bug finding/fixi on ATI Releases Drivers for XFree 4.3.0 · · Score: 1
    Well, then as has been said on /. before, that is an awful stupid place to keep your secrets.



    But seriously, there is no way, on my system, that I would use closed source drivers under Linux. The code isn't opened up for review, to anyone but inside the company. The drivers are crap. I don't give my rootly powers to just anyone.
