Some people have suggested that going standards-compliant on this indicates a plan for a standards-compliant IE.
That would suggest that they are actually worried that people will stop supporting it.
The Gentoo live CD is not really a proper desktop live cd; it is a minimal text-mode environment (for quick download) and is intended purely for installing Gentoo. The only Gentooish thing about it is that it uses portage to install the base system, after which you get to reboot and use a real general-purpose Linux.
I've always felt that the Firearms! page on his website, listed alongside various hackish/OSS stuff, could be seen as him exploiting his position in the OSS community to push unrelated ideas.
I don't get that reference, but try the command. It needs root, and I have no reason to believe it won't cause damage, but it should just grep for the word in the memory...
Same arguement could be applied to anything windows:
If Windows has 90% of the market share and Windows has the Blue Screen of Death, then at the very least the Blue Screen of Death is not an impediment to computer usability.
Windows has a larger market share because...
er..
I can't actually remember. Maybe it is the Blue Screen of Death...
Why the extraneous link to Carmack in the article?
Is there/.er who hasn't heard of him?
And why not link to the Wikipedia article (first Google hit) instead? ID's homepage isn't about Carmack.
I saw this spelling on a sign outside a software shop in Malaysia. It was in the right font, colours, etc. to be the actual Microsoft logo. Needless to say, none of the software inside was legal.
A hacked virus definition for a major on-access virus scanner would be nice. It wouldn't run until the parent worked out how to turn of the virus scanner.
It's a bit slow to boot and to run, and I don't like some bits of it like the control centre, but it's can be good for newbies...
That said, I tried several distributions (starting with Mandrake 9.2 and returning to later version of Mandrake) dual-boot when I was still using Windows, and Gentoo was the first that I actually used more than Windows. After using Fedora and Mandrake, I actually thought that Linux boot up times were inevitably longer than Windows.
I don't understand about new package versions being a reason to call it a new OS (I know they have more, but it should even be one of the reasons).
Not trolling, but genuinly wondering, when they say the new version has "new $version of gimp, Oo.o, etc. etc." does that mean that they don't package them when they are released but instead when it suits Mandrake's release schedule?
As this is actually an article about a torrent, I feel that it is legitimate and on-topic to say:
Please stop leaching. You should open at least port 6881 for incoming connections, and leave your bittorrent client open until you have uploaded at least as much as you have downloaded. It's only fair.
Thank you.

Trying to force an upgrade perhaps? Has someone checked for UA string discrimination?

If, for example, this provided a way to make sure that a computer on the internet is really who it claims to be, that would be good.
But trusted windows, at least, is going to be about remote deletion/disabling of data.
I am having problems with my system clock under Gentoo.
It keeps saying it is the Second of February, when I know it must be the First of April...

Microsoft publishes "ActiveX for Netscape", which is a normal dll plugin. It works (but is undesirable) in Firefox under Windows.
No, mod Funny.
RTF patent. It is owned by IBM and covers changing visited hyperlink purple.
I also found a string that Google said was a cheat for a Windows game...
How did that get into my RAM?
I think you are joking, but I did see some research like this, using a world map.
Don't know why, but the most common guess was Mexico...

This has been on the /. front page for days, for those of us using the Boing Boing slashbox.
Spellchecker for Mozilla/Firefox. /. (assuming 1337 speakers not to be human). No excuse.
Supports every human language I've seen on
HERATIC!
Everything I read on the internet is true!

This would probably be more usefull for irrating car owners than for theft.
BTW, do these really exist?
Who modded this "Interesting"? Come on, own up!

Why is this +5, Funny? I don't understand...
In case you're wondering, I did download this...
Except that you have prevented others using the seeders bandwidth. You inevitably take that much upload bandwidth out of the system.
