  1. Re:Software didn't alway cost money on Free Can Mean Big Money - The Open Source Economy · · Score: 1

    When there were no computers... kinda like when Ford built the first car... Auto body places weren't charging for paint jobs.

  2. Re:Cool hack? Not in my book. on Turn your iPod into a Universal Remote · · Score: 1

    Not to mention, instead of all that, if you had an IPAQ to begin with you wouldn't even need the ipod for a remote with http://www.mynevo.com/nevo_pda.htm

    yep... exactly... That's like comparing apples to ... to... um... a fucking severed head... (to put it bluntly.)

  5. Re:Blood Money on Networking in the Danger Zone? · · Score: 1

    um... how is it blood money? you're doing a service as a benefit FOR the country... not selling guns... ESPECIALLY if it's setting up their internet or computer networks... why would you NOT get paid accordingly? 12 bucks an hour ain't SHIT if I have to dodge a bullet to and from work... hell, I have to do THAT in New Orleans as it is... but at least they don't cut your friggin head off cause I'm wearing a "I *heart* NY" shirt... hell...

    from what I've heard (from my brother who used to work in Saudi Arabia a couple of years ago, if you're working out of the country for more than like 9 or 10 months out of the year... the whole year is tax free... so... in other words... you could even sometimes work almost 8 months in saudi for the big bucks... then fly to Jamaica for the remainder of the year... and take a vacation for a couple of months... the money you'ld make in keeping your taxes would MORE than pay for the cost of the Jamaican Vacation... not too shabby...

    Better to be tortured by a leash and a polaroid than have your friggin head cut off...

  8. Re:Personally... on Geeks and Poker? · · Score: 4, Informative

    actually... technically, "counting cards" is somewhat simpler than what you are describing... the method that most card counters do is more of a "+1" "-1" calculation... for instance, in your head you might add +1 to a total for every 9 or better shown, and subtract "-1" for every low card... the higher the score, the more chance another low card will come out... thereby you should lower your average bets... because the more low cards that come out raises the chance of the dealer actually getting a hand without him busting...

  9. Re:Funny? on MS Rails On Open Source, Appeals To Gov't Greed · · Score: 1

    uh... yes. I rather be known as Bill Gates' bitch than my redneck neighbor's bitch from down the street. Hell... enough money would wash the taste of Bill Gates dick out of my mouth...

    If they're in greenich village, I don't think that's the kind of "fruit" they'll be eating...

    The costume looks like it was missing an ass... But then again, I think they may have threw in the extra beergut to compensate...

  12. Does it account for online purchasing? on 2003 CD Sales Officially Down 7.6 Percent · · Score: 1

    Does that statistic account for the songs that are now being bought online thru services like Itunes and napster? Since you aren't buying full CDs thru itunes...

  13. Re:which makes one wonder... on EV1Servers.Net's CEO Regrets SCO Deal · · Score: 1

    Yep... it sounds like what he really meant was... 'Would I do it again? No. I'll go on the record as saying that,' Marsh said. 'I certainly know a lot more today than I knew a month ago, in a lot of respects.' ..'for one... If I'da known everybody was gonna be pissed off about it and leave us, I wouldn't have done it... instead maybe we should've waited for some kind of verdict to come back ESPECIALLY with all the controversy about this case...'

    hmmm... sounds like, buy a great game and we'll throw in linux for free... and if you act now, we'll throw in a super-bonus decoder ring...

  15. Re:Chicken and Egg Situation on Is the Key to Linux a Games-Based Distro? · · Score: 1

    Just put it in your computer and reboot to run the game, it will detect your hardware, setup graphics, audio, and input devices, and start your game automatically, just like a console. Erm... then what would be the point of Linux? If booting into the game, wouldn't that bypass the whole reason you're doing this? So not only are you bypassing Windows... you'd be bypassing Linux too...

  16. I don't get how a bootable CD will help... on Is the Key to Linux a Games-Based Distro? · · Score: 1

    The point is to get people to try out and continue to use Linux... not try out and continue to use a cd that boots into a game... bypassing Linux altogether... with a live CD (especially one booting into the game)you normally wouldn't have write-access to the HD, and if you're just booting into the game anyway, who needs linux? just make a bootable windows version, or even invent a language to run the game... my point is that booting directly into the game bypasses linux, which is the whole reason for this anyway... otherwise the bootable CD isn't doing much good. The only reasons KnoppixMAME is awesome is the fact that it's so easy to operate... great hardware recognition, and easy to create a CD full of every rom you have and run it on a pc without a HD... but it doesn't help anyone learn linux...
