  1. Not a bad idea folks. on Al Gore Invents Internet TV · · Score: 1

    "Part of our objective is to connect those two experiences"
    I don't think he'd want to see the outcome of TV and Internet merged under one solution. We already got Paris Hilton all over the net and on tv :X

    Then I read the following line:
    Those hoping for a liberal network to balance the conservatism of Fox won't find it here.
    Well now I'm almost sold!

    SILENCE! I will not tolerate your insolence!

  3. Let's Begin indeed on Finally ... RoboShark! · · Score: 1, Funny

    Interesting articles. I wonder how they made Jaws now. Puppets?!

    Let the Dr Evil joke begin!"

    Yes interesting article but I stil see no frikin laser beams attatched to their heads!

  4. In other news on Star Wars Holiday Special Released on DVD · · Score: 1

    George Lucas is being praised by hardcore Star Wars fans around the world in the Netherlands begging for his autograph on a picture of Jar Jar Binks :X

  5. Re:I thought this was decided a long time ago on Gnome Removed From Slackware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What would be cool is if Pat would put the latest dropline gnome installer in the distro. That way at least people will know if they want to install or use it, then it will be as easy as pie and specifically configured for slack.

  6. This will make life easier on AutoPackaging for Linux · · Score: 1

    You know what, some ppl have to understand that not everyone is attatched to strictly one distro. If that was true, then autopackaging wouldn't exist.

    This will make life easier for developers instead of making 10 thousand kind of different binaries.

    Look at Fluxbox's webpage you got:
    - RPMS for SuSE and Fedora
    - tgz for slackware, *BSD
    - .deb Debian/Ubuntu
    - ePenis for PenisDistro

    How is that any good? Just confuses more the newcomers who try Linux and don't know what to download. Tell a user to try Fedora and he falls on a webpage that offers many kind of rpm's and he has to take his time to understand the difference between them. LEARNING IS FUN I Agree but not every user want to learn the ins and outs of linux. That's why they get 50 000 spyware on Windows. If the guys who make autopackaging can gather more support from many organizations and distributions and start trying out this solution, we will be getting somewhere and maybe that quote "THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR OF LINUX" might be a bit more realistic to say... or maybe not :X

  7. Google should just tell France+MSFT on French Response to Google is Microsoft · · Score: 1

  8. yeah, expect the version on New Longhorn Screenshots And Schedule · · Score: 1

    Longhorn Premium Edition (Corporate?) to be mysteriously leaked months before the official release version build 2600 o_O

    I'm curious to see what MSFT will do this time against piracy for Longhorn.

  11. Re:bill nye @RPI and BillMaher on The Science Guy Returns · · Score: 1

    complaining about internet porn affecting people's lives.

    Speaking of internet porn, my friend works in a computer store and they received one pc yesterday. He looked into it and it was full of viruses. That's not all as there was also lots of pr0n. He burned the porn for himself and formatted the man's pc and performed a clean install.

    You can imagine the look on the customer's face when booting for the first time. Affects lives indeed :/

  12. Actually, Intel SHOULD call it "Seinfeld"! on Intel's 64-Bit Pentium 4s Hit The Streets · · Score: 1, Funny

    At least according to what I have learned from the Simpsons.

    Patty: The easiest way to be popular is to leech off the popularity of others.
    Selma: So we propose changing our name from "Springfield" to "Seinfeld".

    Intel can start making processors with names that make sense!

    Pentium D Costanza!
    - This is our newest budget-aimed processor which will deliver today's technology in ways you can't imagine. The Costanza will answer your multimedia needs thru experimentations that one would never dare to even think of.

    Pentium D Kramer
    - We are very proud of this processor. The main audience are the gamers in general who don't want to spend too much money on something as radical as this. The Pentium Kramer will deliver spontaneous performance boosts thru applications and make random noises whenever the cpu is overheating.

    Pentium D Steinbrenner
    - Our flagship product, the Pentium D Steinbrenner will deliver performance beyond your expectations. Not only does it come with 2MB of Cache but it also comes with a special software that has been added into the cpu which will warn the user when he's about to click on something that may be a virus. We call this feature the 'Steinbrenner Alarm':

    STEINBRENNER ALARM: Of course. Of course you can do it. Things get done all the time, I understand. Don't worry, your job'll be waiting for you when I say so! Get better user 'GEORGE'! Get betteeeeeeeeeer!!!!!!!

    Yeah.... now I so want one!

  13. Now all we need is on Wooden-Cased Computers, Small and Extra-Large · · Score: 1

  16. Silly company. I still prefer on Batterylife Activator Reviewed · · Score: 2, Funny

    A thousand monkeys working on a thousand typewriters. At least they get their energy back unlike robotic monkeys running on batteries with those stickers.

    Get some b00bs like Asia Carrera.
    Asia Carrera has to be one of the most intriguing women of the adult movie industry. A member of the high-IQ organization MENSA, Asia ranks with the most intelligent and accomplished ladies to have ever appeared in X-rated films.

  19. Re:Take this with a pinch of salt on Solaris 10 Installation and Desktop Walkthrough · · Score: 1

    You mean huge competition to Linux Distributors such as SuSE and RedHat.

    I do agree that a slick interface does alot more than what linux enthusiasts think (the ones who think that gui isn't "all that"). These are computers that may or may not be used by savvy computer users so a desktop that looks nice and simple sure does a lot. Of course as long as flexibility isn't sacrified!

    Yeah that's what happends when you're lazy and don't want to type a few extra letters. Also when your teachers say that smart programmers are lazy programmers although I'm not too sure about that.

    That's like saying Duke Nukem Forever is never going to be released because they went from the Quake 2 engine to Unreal followed by another engine which I ignore and maybe in the future another switch to Unreal Engine 3!

  25. Re:But why bother backporting? on Microsoft Uncertain About WinFS for XP · · Score: 2, Informative

    redundant score here I come!

    It has been said a zillion times and I'll say it again because some still ignore the difference between these levels of abstractions.

    Look at WinFF on wiki as they say what many have said in the previous slashdot article:
    The system is loosely based on a combination of the next version of Microsoft SQL Server 2005, codenamed Yukon, and an underlying NTFS filesystem
