  1. Re:and on 10 Years of Translated Bin Laden Messages Leaked · · Score: 1

    I think I will actually take your advice. May be a good idea to clear my cache now as well.

  2. Re:That's pretty damning for the CIA and Bush admi on 10 Years of Translated Bin Laden Messages Leaked · · Score: 1

    He is after all a crazy bastard who thinks it's perfectly ok to murder people because of the country they were born in.

    Is that true? I haven't seen that opinion expressed.

    His also an ex CIA agent (using that term a bit liberally).

  4. Re:Just remember... on Microsoft Says IE8 Phoning Home Is "Pretty Innocuous" · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I don't even know how to reply to this. I'm just going to assume you haven't read any Google related privacy stories here on Slashdot for a very long time

  5. Re:EULA is quite important on Mozilla Demanding Firefox Display EULA In Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    And isn't that feature off by default?

  6. Re:Obvious, really. on Successful Moonlighting For Geeks? · · Score: 1

    It's kinda sad, but prostitution seems to exactly fit the bill.

  7. OpenOffice also does this crap on Mozilla Demanding Firefox Display EULA In Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    I don't see the point of an EULA on GPLed software, sorry -- this is at best a a bug.

  8. Re:EULA is quite important on Mozilla Demanding Firefox Display EULA In Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    They they can put that message next to the button to enable that feature.

  9. Re:Patents and Products on Apple Declares DRM War On Sneaker Hackers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You say that as if that was the original intention of the patent system.

  10. Needs to be a bit larger for $50USD on Inexpensive USB LCD With Linux Drivers For LCDproc · · Score: 1

    While I have been looking for such a device for quite some time, I could build one for $50. For $50, the screen needs to have a higher resolution, and be a bit bigger.

  11. Re:Slackware on Server Optimization For Newbies? · · Score: 1

    You do know you can do everything in RedHat/Fedora/Centos from a console, right? That includes the install.

  12. Re:I've been saying this for years... on HP May Be Developing Its Own Version of Linux · · Score: 1

    Then the licenses would adapt to this threat.

  13. Re:Anyone named Bruno instantly hired on Best Buy + Windows Guru = Apple Store Experience? · · Score: 1

    If you hit up the IRC rooms of most distros (at least Fedora) you should get some fairly good support.

  14. Pornography isn't protected speech? on Virginia Supreme Court Strikes Down Anti-Spam Law · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is this true? What exempts it?

  15. Shouldn't be suprised on Lenovo Removes Linux Option For Home Buyers · · Score: 1

    The manufactures seem to provide very little value with these Linux installs.

  16. It ain't over yet on The Fedora-Red Hat Crisis · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You can't really say they are keeping things quiet while things are still in progress. This isn't being swept under the rug, this seems to be pursued in all areas currently. If after everything, there is still no more information, then that is a story.

  17. Django . . . on Django 1.0 Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    it's what you come home to after a day with .NET at work.

  18. I remember when Sony used to make good stuff on Sony Recalls 73,000 Vaio Laptops Due To Burn Worry · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What ever happened to that? My dad has a Sony tv that he got around when I was born. When I hit about 12 he got a new Sony tv. And it died, and the old one is still ticking.

  19. Re:How is this better than DVD? on Ghostbusters Is First Film Released On USB Key · · Score: 1

    Ok. I guess that's more efficient than tossing optical media away after.

  20. How is this better than DVD? on Ghostbusters Is First Film Released On USB Key · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Considering the DRM, how is it better than a regular DVD?

  21. Re:So, test it in Japan. on Appeals Court Rules US Can Block Mad Cow Testing · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well some countries seem hell bent on importing the USA beef against the wishes of their citizens. So it is possible (but not proven) that the same forces preventing small supplies from doing 100% testing will smooth the way for the 1% tested beef to be sold to those countries.

  22. Re:The fallen pinnacle of freedom on US No Longer the World's Internet Hub · · Score: 1
    Which one?
    • South America

    Is there any reason that this story shouldn't be in the politics section which does not show up on my front page?

  24. A lot of people hapily not giving a cent to RedHat on Bitten By the Red Hat Perl Bug · · Score: 1

    Hope you're just as happy if they stop "giving" cents to FOSS.

  25. Why is it disturbing? on Bitten By the Red Hat Perl Bug · · Score: 0

    The summary said it is disturbing. According to the Bugzilla report, the performance issue arouse as a result of a necessary patch. I can see how this would be disagreeable... but how is it disturbing?
