  1. Re:Well "Works With Linux" is a feature to me on Asus To Phase Out Sub-10" Eee PCs · · Score: 1

    This is going largely ignored. Posters are acting as if Windows just guesses VPN configuration and automagically logs in.

  2. Re:I still don't change it... on Programming .NET 3.5 · · Score: 1

    Who is this no one? Python made very clear, objective and open changes to Python3000, designed an intermediate step to ease the transition and tools to help convert. And lots of people still complain about it, even if they don't have to change and even if python is designed to be parallel installable. So please, don't say "no one complains" as that is entirely not true. Look at the case of the PHP name space separator of late.

    VPNs don't always "work out of the box" on Windows, schools generally provide installers.

    I believe that the fact of the matter is that these OEMs put very little effort into the Linux they ship. If they put more effort into it, I believe customers would be a lot more satisfied. While 7:3 isn't a disaster, is grossly understates GNU/Linux's capability. For eg. there is no reason for a greater than 10s boot on this machines with Linux.

    Thus is the power of Microsoft... the invisible power over the minds of its users.

  6. Well "Works With Linux" is a feature to me on Asus To Phase Out Sub-10" Eee PCs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So I'll be going with the netbook with the most features when I am purchasing.

  7. Re:so.. on German Foreign Ministry Migrates Desktops To OSS · · Score: 1

    Seems like a simple script to login to each machine and run "yum update" would solve that issue.

  8. When the regenerations are over on David Tennant Stands Down From "Doctor Who" · · Score: 1

    I'm curious what they will do then. Would be messed up to have to end there.

  9. Master has pulled the leash on EA Forum Ban Will Now Mean EA Game Ban · · Score: 1

    Now heel boy!

  10. Re:Whatever. on How To Make Money With Free Software · · Score: 1

    Suggests that the less those tools should cost as well.

  11. Re:More useful than you might think... on CueCat Patent Granted, Finally · · Score: 1

    I used it together with a Python app that I wrote to do a book sale. Got it via eBay, very sweet.

  12. Re:WTF? on Sony Claims PS3 Javascript Performance Is Better Than IE7's · · Score: 1

    Is that more an Opera issue than a Nintendo issue?

  13. Re:I'm not Microsoft lover, but on Attack Code Found For Recent Windows Bug · · Score: 0

    Do you know when they found out it?

  14. Re:It's too bad on Judge Tells RIAA To Stop 'Bankrupting' Litigants · · Score: 1

    At the very least, penalties should be equivalent to physically shoplifting from a record store.

  15. Re:New features are irrelivant... on Hands-On With Windows 7's New Features · · Score: 1

    Well, Microsoft says their software development methods are better.

  16. What is Microsoft's intent on Microsoft Pushes Windows To Battle Linux In Africa · · Score: 1

    Is Microsoft really trying to help, is there even the pretense of this by their employees? Or does everyone, at the very least, agree that this is purely for the purpose of profit (which is ok if we don't pretend otherwise)

  17. Clone Machine on Nintendo Already Anticipating Holiday Wii Shortages · · Score: 1

    2.4 million units a month worldwide

    Short of building a cloning machine, what more can Nintendo really do? 2.4 computers a months seems like no small amount to me, especially considering that Nintendo often has good quality.

  18. Use Squid on Browsing Frugally Without Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Setup Squid with bandwidth limits as you see fit.

  19. Re:What about... on ACLU Creates Map of US "Constitution-Free Zone" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Also, areas close to party conventions.

  20. Amazon competing with their vendor on Amazon Beefs Up Its Cloud Ahead of MS Announcement · · Score: 1

    Wonder how well that works out. Is there any law preventing Microsoft from tweaking cost of future CALs to Amazon in light of the competition?

  21. Re:Yeah right. on Economic Crisis Will Eliminate Open Source · · Score: 1

    Another useful aspect of this model that it works for both selfish and selfless motivations.

  22. Re:Micro-kernel vs massive kernel? on Linux Kernel Surpasses 10 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think they are including modules as well. And there are a growing number of userland drivers as well. So you can't come to a conclusion without knowing the size of the parts outside the kernel.

  23. Re:Reply from actual kernel developer please . . . on Linux Kernel Surpasses 10 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    There are literally thousands of men runnning the code on even more setups regularly, and apparently a healthy percentage of those report any and all problems they find. And now, with the addition of kerneloops, getting problem reports is even easier.

  24. It's free, it's open, it works on Practical Reasons To Choose Git Or Subversion? · · Score: 1

    SVN gives me cross platform client support, and there hasn't been anything that I wanted to do that I couldn't. So SVN for me. Does GIT support WebDAV?

  25. Can they do that? on Microsoft Calls Today Global Anti-Piracy Day · · Score: 1

    Can they seriously just announce a "global" day?
