  1. I'll all for police force...but on Students Put UCLA Taser Video On YouTube · · Score: 1

    one has to have some reason when applying force...you can't apply force them expect the person receiving the force to have full motor functionality afterwards. Furthermore, applying force for a non-violent offense without any obvious threat to your own safety is highly unnecessary IMHO. That said...had the guy had a visible gun I say shoot him and go home safe to your family.

  2. Re:Give Novell a Break on Novell Responds To Microsoft's IP Claims · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If some highly infectious disease infects your leg, I'm pretty sure the doctors will advise you to amputate it.

  3. Agree and Disagree? on Novell Responds To Microsoft's IP Claims · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Novel seems to be essentially saying that they agree and disagree at the same time on a topic which was part of their formal agreement. This may make sense to a lawyer or CEO, but seems highly illogical to me. Furthermore, it seems safe to say that any business agreement with Microsoft ultimately benefits only Microsoft, the people over are great at that. I may dislike many aspect of the Microsoft Corp. but they are darn skillful business men. I'm just happy that I don't use Suse.

    Cool sig

  5. Re:Ripping outside of USA? on MPAA Sues Company For Selling Pre-Loaded iPods · · Score: 1

    They'd probably wait until you were in Mexico and send som thugs to beat you into a pulp...ask yourself...why wouldn't they.

  6. Question on Universal Music Sues MySpace · · Score: 1

    What are they claiming NySpace infringed upon? I've never heard of any MySpace ad on radio or tv...so it can be that... Doesn't someone or entitity have to use something to infringe upon it? Assuming it is about music...how does anything music go about getting uptight about copying? Music is all about copying and modifing.

  7. Re:some GPL types kick gift horse in mouth... on Red Hat Rejects Microsoft Patent Deal Overtures · · Score: 1

    Posts like that will have the narcotics division knocking at your door.

  8. Re:Stand Tall and Wave Your Red Fedora! on Red Hat Rejects Microsoft Patent Deal Overtures · · Score: 1

    Download CentOS....for free.

  9. Re:Grammar Nazi. on Icebergs Sailing Past New Zealand · · Score: 0, Offtopic

  11. Re:Yay sweatshops! on First of the OLPCs Built · · Score: 1

    Why? Poor people should not be given jobs?

  12. Umm... Google? on Google Used To Diagnose Disease · · Score: 1

    I kinda hoped doctors had a better shared resource for such things than Google.

  13. Other Evidence? on UK Woman Charged As Terrorist For Computer Files · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Was there any other actual evidence besides some agent just saying she was involved?

  14. Re:Why's everyone so negative about the .NET job? on Choosing Your Next Programming Job — Perl Or .NET? · · Score: 1

    I would personally choose the .NET last, but that's because I have, and am using..and i hate it.

  15. Re:NTFS support on Novell Gets $348 Million From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    In the past few years, I have never hard a kernel crash. And I always run the latest kernel put out by Fedora.

  16. Re:Too bad it's too late on Sun To Choose GPL For Open-Sourcing Java · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, just to speak to the otherside - I hate C#, and I think its more than the fact that I typically have to be on a Windows machine to code it. I very much dislike some of the design choices made - my point being that C# is one of those subjective things (IT didn't help that every tiem I go to the C# irc channel I get yelled at)

  17. Re:NTFS support on Novell Gets $348 Million From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    look up ntfs-fuse.

  18. One of the worse lawsuits in recent times on Should Online Stores Be Subject To ADA? · · Score: 1

    Suing a website for their design of their website...not even the content, the design. I thought handicapped people wanted to be treated equally? I'm all for accessibility, one never knows when one may be come handicapped themselves. But this is really going overboard.

  19. Re:But, I thought... on Saving Democracy With Web 2.0 · · Score: 1

    ok, you got me all curious now: why do prostitutes and drug dealers like the toilets?

  20. Re:It's worthless on Saving Democracy With Web 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I would say the half-educated one....since the non educated one would simply be doing what some educated person told them...supposedly

  21. Re:Braindead article on Marrying Gmail and Mutt · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why have a Gmail account at all if you don't like the UI ?

  22. Sony's Marketing Model on Sony's Karakker On Turning Around PS3 Buzz · · Score: 1

    1) Piss in the koolaid
    2) Relish the fact that no matter what you do your loyal fan base will still throw their salaries at you
    3) ????
    4) Laugh some more
    5) Profit

  23. Re:Shouldn't Wikipedia scan uploaded files? on Wikipedia Used To Spread Virus · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't Slashdot readers read the summary?

  24. One thing is certain on Microsoft To Announce Linux Partnership · · Score: 1

    This is an omen. Something big is going down soon. I doubt it will be pretty.

  25. Re:VGA on Wii Confirmed at 480p · · Score: 1

    I'm a more college kid without a TV. A free OS (Linux/Fedora) + PVR (MythTV) + cheap tv car (Hauppauge WinTV FM - eBay) servers me just fine, a fraction of the cost.
