  1. Re:Not just women... on Why the Widening Gender Gap In Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    Computer scientist rarely do things for the money. So I don't think stating salary as a major rationale is sensible.

  2. Re:The brainy girls are going to med school on Why the Widening Gender Gap In Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    Sucks for them really. It's their own choice. Playing the blame game for this is ridiculous.

  3. Re:Women don't want to do CS? on Why the Widening Gender Gap In Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    That's a pretty serious statement, do you have any rationale to back that up. Lets face it, men don't have boobs. And boobs go a very long way whether people like to admit it or not. How often do you see unskilled, untalented, guys making it even without a rich family?

  4. Re:Give one? on Give One Get One Redux, OLPC XO-1 Now On Amazon · · Score: 1

    How long does $199 worth of paper and pencils last? How many times can you use it?

  5. Re:Silverlight on Adobe Releases Preview of 64-bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1

    Microsoft supports Moonlight? When did this happen?

  6. Re:I Just Took A Huge Shit on Stallman Unsure Whether Firefox Is Truly Free · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And for those of us who don't agree with that, we have the GPL.

  7. Re:others top my list on Boycott Novell Protesters Manhandled In India · · Score: 1

    Well, I think they are trying to be proactive, where as you seem to suggest waiting for something bad to happen.

  8. Re:is jesus real? on NVIDIA Releases New Video API For Linux · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Well Jesus was middle eastern, being born and raised in the middle east and all that. Black tends to refer to people of dark skin who have mostly descended from Africans.

  9. How can they tell? on US Has More IPv6 Eyeballs Than Asia, Because of Apple · · Score: 1

    I have 4 machines at home, all run Linux and do are IPV6 capable. Most mac users have one mac though. I'm guessing they are only checking the external facing router?

  10. Re:Why did you chose open source in the first plac on How Long Should an Open Source Project Support Users? · · Score: 1

    Self support isn't some implicit requirement of open source.

  11. Re:One of the major OSS problems on How Long Should an Open Source Project Support Users? · · Score: 1

    Look. This is Slashdot, get it right. Open Source is not the opposite of Commercial.

  12. Re:Keep the base small on Java Trial Support Coming In Linux Standard Base · · Score: 1

    Fair enough, but a mature cross platform environment like Java seems like a necessary addition.

  13. Re:Source on Java Trial Support Coming In Linux Standard Base · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's time to merge .deb and .rpm and apt and yum, and finally do away with this mostly ridiculous difference.

  14. Re:An answer to SharePoint! on OpenOffice Vs. Google Apps · · Score: 1

    Yes I have, reminded me way too much of Sharepoint.

  15. Re:An answer to SharePoint! on OpenOffice Vs. Google Apps · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So then OO.org needs to choose one or more popular CMS and integrate with them then. We really don't need another brand new CMS, even if I would like to see on in Python.

  16. Re:hmmm. on Colombia Signs Up For OLPC Laptops With Windows · · Score: 1

    So people not using Windows is a problem now?

  17. They're only going to make it worse on FTC Wants To Straighten Out IP Law · · Score: 1

    That's what I'd bet on if I was a betting man. Give geeks and little false hope, then just totally screw them over with even more cumbersome intellectual "property" laws.

  18. Re:Cocoa? on How Do I Get Open Source Programs Written For Me? · · Score: 1

    Quite.

  19. Re:Why not BSD-license? on Creative GPLs X-Fi Sound Card Driver Code · · Score: 1

    Maybe Creative would like assurance that they receive any enhancements made to the code.

  20. Re:Fucking awesome on Creative GPLs X-Fi Sound Card Driver Code · · Score: 1

    I had consciously decided not to dable with their new card, especially since the SoundBlaster Live 5.1 works so well with OSS. But this news is just sweet.

  21. Re:At last! on Creative GPLs X-Fi Sound Card Driver Code · · Score: 1

    I am no Ubuntu user's but when you make comments like these, a lot of people wish you would provide some details. I know the Fedora community appreciates constructive, detailed criticism.

  22. Re:In modern machines... on Microsoft Discontinues Windows 3.x · · Score: 1

    Abstraction, gotta love it.

  23. Re:I still have it. on Microsoft Discontinues Windows 3.x · · Score: 1

    Yah that was pretty ill. Got it on a shareway gamepack back when sharewhere was cool. Skifree. I'm sure you can Wine that now though.

  24. Re:No surprise here... on Linux Supports More Devices Than Any Other OS · · Score: 1

    Isn't that kinda saying that you can understand this message I gave you because I didn't give you the cipher, and therefore it is your fault?

  25. Re:No surprise here... on Linux Supports More Devices Than Any Other OS · · Score: 1

    Well Windows ues third-party drivers for that. But yah, it sucks when it's your driver that is missing. Not exactly the fault of Linux though. If anything you should be pissed at the people you _paid_ for the laptop.
