  1. Re:Preventing Linux's 'Last year' on Microsoft Free, One Year Later · · Score: 1

    I think it's fair to say people have at the very least lost jobs over it.

  2. Re:Linux Visio Clone. on Microsoft Free, One Year Later · · Score: 1

    Visio is a very powerful application, well at least it has a lot of features. I am not aware of any fair clone of it in Linux. I suspect part of the reason is that there isn't enough demand yet, and partly because those who can don't want to create what could be considered to be quite a bloated application.

  3. Re:It's like watching ugly people kiss on Microsoft Offered $40 a Share For Yahoo · · Score: 1

    miles ahead? I think that's quite an exaggeration

  4. Re:Real question: on Next-Gen JavaScript Interpreter Speeds Up WebKit · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure that KHTML has been merged/dropped and there is only WebKit in Konqueror now. But I am subject to correction on this.

  5. Re:iPhone Safari on Next-Gen JavaScript Interpreter Speeds Up WebKit · · Score: 0

    Haha. Dude, you should write for prime time.

  6. Re:GPL 3 on GPLv3's Implications Hitting Home For Lawyers · · Score: -1, Redundant

    sucks for you.

  7. Base premise is wrong on GPLv3's Implications Hitting Home For Lawyers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The GPL definitely has no problem with people using software to generate wealth.

  8. Re:Already there. on Firefox Appears Ready to Crack 20% Share Next Month · · Score: 1

    I think Konqueror often pretends to be other browsers. User agent switching is very obvious to do in Konqueror (last I checked) and often renders just as well as other browsers.

  9. Re:I for one welcome . . . on Ghostly Ring Found Circling Dead Star · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Who said it was a test?

  10. Re:What's MSFTs Point? on Microsoft Linking Silverlight, Ruby on Rails · · Score: 1

    If Moonlight == Silverlight does OO.Org == MS Office?

  11. Re:Big Brother(s) on Twitter Not Rocket Science, but Still a Work in Progress · · Score: 1

    because your twitter conversations are so secure right now

  12. No mention or Ruby/Rails? on Twitter Not Rocket Science, but Still a Work in Progress · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Kinda surprised. I use neither Twitter nor Ruby, but seems like the talk has been than Rails wasn't scaling well. Thought the Q&A would confirm or deny this.

  13. Re:All your documents are belonging to us... on RedOffice 4.0 Beta Updates OpenOffice UI · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Seriously? This China related alarmism on Slashdot is really saddening

  14. Wait, CCTV owners? on An Imaginative Use For CCTVs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I kind of just assumed that the government/law enforcement were the "owners". Who is the summary referring to as "the CCTV owners" ?

  15. Re:Farewell ISO on Denmark Becomes Fourth Nation To Protest OOXML · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The victims shouldn't stand-up and defend the perp after the fact. If they really are the victim, let them reveal their rapist, or lie in shame.

  16. Who is more destrictive? on MediaDefender Explains Itself · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Seems like this is as least as destructive as 1 billion people "illegally" downloading digital media .

  17. Re:Only gratis, on Havok Releases Free Version For PC Developers · · Score: 1

    who spoke about FSF? It's a piece (or collection) of software. We are on Slashdot, a forum (supposedly) for geeks. The adjective free in this context has a more specific meaning.

  18. Re:Is UML Really Dead? on Is UML Really Dead, Or Only Cataleptic? · · Score: 1

    I was going to comment, when it was just posted, but I was like "blaa".

  19. Re:Lets get our priorities straight! on Phoenix Mars Lander Deploys Robotic Arm, Possibly Finds Ice · · Score: 1

    A lot of intelligent people believe that humanity + earth is a lost cause.

  20. "Ubuntu community as a whole" on gNewSense Distro Frees Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    How about the Linux community as a whole? This seems to be a (possibly) more stable replica of Fedora, as Fedora has (as far as I know) the strictest FOSS packages guidelines of the popular Linux distros. How about they work more upstream?

  21. Re:Nice ad on New 4GB Flash Drive Packs Quite a Punch · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, I am kinda actually interested, and happy this got posted.

  22. Re:exe? on Google Earth, Now With Browser Goodness · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think he was referring to the use of XPIs

  23. What makes SuSe Linux more interoperable? on Novell's Linux Business Takes a Seat At the Grown-Up Table · · Score: 3, Informative

    According to this page, http://www.moreinterop.com/solutions/benefits/, they are "The Most Interoperable Open Source Platform on the Market Today"

  24. "Novel Microsoft Present" on Novell's Linux Business Takes a Seat At the Grown-Up Table · · Score: 1

    That's what the flash Ad on this page says at least... "roll over for more". www.moreinterop.com

  25. Re:And Microsoft is the biggest threat to F/OSS... on Microsoft Acknowledges Open Source As a Bigger Threat Than Google · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Buying hookers. What have rich men historically done with wads of money?
