  2. Re:umm..network access? on OLPC Available to the Public Early 2008 · · Score: 1

    You seem to have some way of predicting exactly where these things will go to. Maybe there can be a community access point. Just like community bathrooms. And community phone stations.

  3. Re:OLPC and it's cultural implications on OLPC Available to the Public Early 2008 · · Score: 1

    There a lot more things in the queue before lime green laptops for that title.

  4. Do these people live in an alternate reality... on Massachusetts Looks To Jack Thompson for Game Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    where real life is not violent? And the last place were violence exists is in video games? Because I can understand detesting violence, but video game violence should be the least of their worries. Have they ever watched National Geography Channel and see a squad of hornets wipe out what is essentially a entire civilization of honey bees?

  8. Re:Who said anything about one CD? on Fedora Core and Fedora Extras To Merge · · Score: 1

    I normally do a network install from the .iso myself. Apparently there are technical aspects against yum+bittorrent

  9. Who said anything about one CD? on Fedora Core and Fedora Extras To Merge · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been following the development, and while the server install MAY be one cd, I haven't seen anything to suggest that such an artificial restriction would be set. If anything it may be a specific minimal spin.

  10. It would be nice on Fedora Core and Fedora Extras To Merge · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    if the usually jackasses didn't post the usual anti Fedora FUD.

  11. Re:Again... blaming the lawyers on ABC/Disney Shuts Down Blog Exercising Fair Use · · Score: 1

  13. What a great idea on Apple and Google to Blog the World · · Score: 1

    Instead of wasting resources on spying on people, get them to spy on themselves. Finding out where the owner of an Ipod lives will soon be as simple as checking where they are the most.

  14. Easy on Workarounds for Vista's Networking Problems? · · Score: 0

    Simple: Don't install Vista. If you must use Windows , install XP. If you have the choice and can, buy a Mac. If you like computers, give Linux a try.

    Do any of you guys actively block IPs and IP blocks of phishing sites? And also those "fake domains" which just have search results? If so, how is that working out?

    For awhile there I thougth devs had totally changed their mind on things and were going to use Suse as their upstream distro instead of Fedora. Not that I have anything agaist Suse...just Novel, the tech. company.

  19. Re:Suse? on Tamil Nadu (India) Shutting the Door On Microsoft · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yah, I have to admit. Had it been anything other than Suse, I would have considered this to be a good thing. Now its just...meh.

  20. Re:Why not PostgreSQL? on MySQL Falcon Storage Engine Open Sourced · · Score: 1

    So you're suggesting that people use something that they are not comfortable with, instead of something that they are and which is getting better at an acceptable pace?
