  1. funky counting on Feature:Free Linux · · Score: 1

    Just what exactly is he counting? All of SuSE, with every package available, or just a "base" system? I would guess that a base system (consisting of shell, editor, utilities, compiler, maybe even X11) would have a much higher percentage of FSF software. The rest of the packages are optional applications, not OS. Not to mention that, by his count, the OS shouldn't be called "Linux" either, since Linus obviously had little to do with it.

  2. "Moof" trademarked on Typical Misinterpretation Of "Hacker" · · Score: 1

    It's trademarked, too.
    I hope Apple sues them.

  3. Men With Guns on Best Movie and TV Show of 1998 · · Score: 1

    There were plenty of great movies this year. Probably most people didn't notice it, but my pick for the year is "Men With Guns" (directed by John Sayles, maker of "Lone Star"). Runners up (in order): "Pi", "The Truman Show", "Dark City" (the most original looking film I've seen since "Brazil").

    TV show? That's more difficult. "Big Life" on CBC Newsworld is, as usual, one of my favorites, which is probably only seen by Canadians. I agree with Katz that "That 70's Show" is great (and I'll admit that I watch "Buffy" sometimes). And, as always, "The Simpsons".

    Jon, have you seen "Ain't It Cool News"? It is sort-of the slashdot for movie fans.
