  1. Re:And a hot date who reads... on Gen Y Hits the Library the Most -- But Not For Books · · Score: 5, Funny

    How did that work out for you Mr. posting on Slashdot at odd times of day.

  2. Re:Wired LAN on Wii Hacked for Better Homebrew Games · · Score: 1

    what wrong with the one Nintendo sells?

  3. Re:opengl console on What 2008 May Hold In Store for FOSS · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that amarokapp doesn't need Postgres and Ruby -- unless something has seriously changed of late.

  4. Re:Samba 4 on What 2008 May Hold In Store for FOSS · · Score: 1

    has there been any word on how proper the documentation actually is?

  5. Re:Wii and homebrew on Wii Hacked for Better Homebrew Games · · Score: 1

    how exactly is this bad news for Nintendo?

  6. Re:Gabe on Child's Play Breaks a Million Bucks · · Score: 1

    Was speaking in general, know nothing about the alleged issue in this case.

  7. Re:Gabe on Child's Play Breaks a Million Bucks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    While I do not have any idea the issue at hand here, I'm not a big fan of the ends justify the means.... children getting X amount of toys doesn't just make something okay.

  8. Gotta add more on Xbox Live - The Christmas Zombie · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    RedHat boxes to help with the load.

  9. Re:benchmark? on PCWorld Says Firefox is Strong, Vista is Weak · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I used Windows ME for several years without significant problems and only switch because some software I needed wouldn't work on Windows ME.

  10. Look out for your own home first on American Security Firms Collaborate on Chinese Olympics · · Score: 1

    At least things in China are fairly obvious.

  11. I didn't see this option on Musicians Have Many Money Options Online, Says Talking Head · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I scanned through the article, and didn't see mention of this option:

    A subscription and/or ad based supposed set of central sites where artists post their music to from $0 and up, or as I preferred with AllofMp3, per unit of bandwidth -- with multiple codec options. And then said artists play music at concerts, small performances etc... ie. play for their supper. This may reduce the number of hummers that some artists can purchase, but I think it would be worth the loss. Maybe I could actually find new music that I like again.

  12. Re:Valid Security Concerns on iPhone 1.1.3 Update Confirmed, Breaks Apps and Unlocks · · Score: 1

    Established or not, I am no fan of J3ME, having used it extensively for a recent project.

  13. Re:Irrational bordering on hysteria on New Jersey Bars Sex Offenders From the Internet · · Score: 1

    From what I've seen on the History Channel, the Puritans were quite the sexual deviants.

  14. Re:No explanation is a good explanation. on Adobe Quietly Monitoring Software Use? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I guess this is why some people are religiously against non-OSS. When you tire of your vendor, you can't simply drop said vendor because of all the data you have in their (often) closed formats.

  15. Re:Pilots on meth? on Snortable Drug 'Replaces' Sleep For Monkeys In Trials · · Score: 1

    History is filled with armies fueled by foreign chemicals that may be label as "drugs". I'm just a little sadder to know that apparently so much effort is still going into war (and I consider myself to be all for violence).

  16. How is OOXML good anyone but Microsoft? on Microsoft Deprecating Some OOXML Functionality · · Score: 1

    I've done quite a bit of reading, and listening on the topic of OOXML, and I have come to the conclusion that there is no good (at least of the technical kind) in OOXML. Yet, people seem convinced that Microsoft is a "good" company. And a good company wouldn't actively push something that was obviously without any good for the industry... so I must be missing something. I generally just think that it is for the purpose of profit and control, but every now and then I like to give opposing views a chance - since I may be the one wrong.

  17. Re:Obvious patents on Apple Patents 'Buy Stuff Wirelessly, Skip Lines' Tech · · Score: 1

    So they are going to donate it to one of those "good" (I don't mean that sarcastically) patent holders? Wish I could remember the name of one.

  18. That low? on Report Says 36.4% of World's Computers Infringe on IP · · Score: 1

    How is it possible that the number is that low? I would guess that even the computers of IP lawyers infringe on some IP.

  19. Time for allofmp3.com.ag on WTO Awards Caribbean Country Right to Ignore US Copyright · · Score: 4, Funny

    I would happily spend my USD with them.

  20. Re:One wonders...... on Windows Home Server Corrupts Files · · Score: 1

    A Linux based, prebuilt NAS solution

  21. Firehose blurp on Ruby 1.9.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Why does this look like an unedited blurp from the Firehose?

  22. Re:Thats funny on Anti-Virus Bug Briefly Identified Windows Explorer as Malware · · Score: 1

    Was is a "legal" copy of Quake? or a warez version?

  23. Re:If only on Python + Motion detection = Fweemote · · Score: 1

    You can do the same thing in Java and C# if you would like. Seriously. I wonder if you have any proof that Python is a memory hog.

  24. Re:Irrelevant info on Google Reader Begins Sharing Private Data · · Score: 1

    Then we disagree that this is even a privacy concern. There's nothing secret about telling other people anything over the internet.

  25. Re:Huh? on FSFE Supports Microsoft Antitrust Investigation · · Score: 1

    so you've made the jump from an IE developer saying that IE8 passes the acid2 test to IE8 supporting standards. Isn't that a pretty big jump?
