  1. You want XRandR... on Longhorn Preview · · Score: 1, Informative

    ...the X Resize and Rotate (and Reflect) Extension. Recent versions of GNOME, KDE, and Xfce all have nice GUIs front-ends to this which allow you to click and change your resolution on-the-fly. Research before ranting, please! ^_^

  2. AbiWord does this already... on Wikimedia and KDE Cooperation Announced · · Score: 1, Informative

    Though it's still only alpha or beta quality it does does a WikiPedia-lookup plugin that works rather well.

  3. Re:This is Interesting on Opera: Firefox User Figures 'Inflated' · · Score: 0

    Firefox uses its own XUL interface which uses GTK+ as a back-end. GTK+ is native on OS X, X11 (*nix, BSD), and Win32. Opera uses Qt, so it's also native on OS X, X11 (*nix, BSD) and Win32.

  4. That's the chip model. on GeForce 7800 GTX Review · · Score: 0

    Just like the Geforce 6 is a card series and the GPU model is the NV4x series, The Radeon X is the card series and the R520 is the GPU chip name. (The 8500-9200 used R200-based chips, the 9600-9800 boards were R300-based, etc.)

    ...does it run Linux?

  8. Yes, but... on x86-64 Slackware Clone Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ...does it run Linux?

  9. BETAMAX FOREVER! on Reports of VHS's Death Highly Exaggerated · · Score: 2, Funny

    WHOOOO!! :D

  10. Yes, but... on Apple to Lock OSXi to Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    ...does it run Linux? :)

  11. Written/signed agreement on What You Should Know When Taking a University Job? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Make sure you have a written agreement about policies and what you're job is in explicit details and what they are giving you and have it signed by yourself and a Uni representative. This way if they say "oh we never said we'd do that for you", you can save your ass and whip out your contract, saying, "Yes. You did." :)

    Oh yeah and don't forget about the partying ^_^

  12. MATH menu --> ">Frac" on Calculator Flaw Forces Recall in Virginia · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Duh? Isn't that on almost every TI calculator? O.o

  13. Epiphany users? on Spoofing Flaw Resurfaces in Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 1

    This only seems to be for Mozilla/Firefox, but since Epiphany (GNOME's browser) uses the Mozilla/Gecko core, are we Epiphany users also at risk?

  14. Re: AMD and TCPA/DRM on Intel Claims No DRM · · Score: 2, Informative

    So, for that matter, have AMD and Via, so running to them won't help much.

    AMD is supposedly making their hardware DRM entirely optional, though. :-)

  15. World Domination Soon(tm) on Linux Geeks To Take Over World · · Score: 0

    YAY!

  16. OMGWTFBBQ IM S0L33tZ0rZ KDE/GNOME IS BL0AT3D!1one on AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core Chips Released · · Score: -1

    I don't get all this "KDE/GNOME is too bloated" crap. Sure, they're rather heavy but with modern hardware that's nothing to be worried about.

    OMGWTFBBQ I HAVE 1 GB RAM and a 4 GHz Oc'ed P4 and GNOME/KDE USES 100 MB SO IT'S BL0AT3D!!11eleven!!!one

    *sigh*

  17. Security by obscurity... on Sony's New DRM Technique · · Score: 0

    ...is no security at all. Wait ntil there's nice GUI click-here front-ends for automagically ripping from the CD and burning another CD.

  18. Re:Yeah right on Sony's New DRM Technique · · Score: 0

    This is a New And Improved Version(tm)... *sigh*

  19. so uh...just copy the copy? on Sony's New DRM Technique · · Score: 0

    How is this even going to work? Couldn't I just make a copy of the Cd-R I made?

  20. Huh? on McVoy Strikes Back · · Score: 0

    "McVoy understands open source as well as anyone on the planet."

    No he doesn't, or else he wouldn't be spewing this nonsensical crap! -_-

  21. mod parent up! on mod_perl 2.0.0 Released · · Score: 0

    informative++

  22. It's security by obscurity... on RFID Tags for Digital Rights Management · · Score: 0

    If it was open then people would be simply able to remove it entirely from their files. The whole idea of DRM is to kee it closed so people cannot easily crack it and "improperly" use the files (like for multimedia and stuff).

  23. DRM != Digitial Rights Management on RFID Tags for Digital Rights Management · · Score: 0

    It's all marketing bullshit to make people think it's a Good Thing(tm). In fact, it's a horrible thing and should be referred to instead as Digital Restrictions Management...

  24. OpenOffice.org on Open source Java? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Perhaps a usable F/OSS Java implementation would quelch the OpenOffice.org 2.0 and Java issues...

  25. Re: Blackdown's builds on Open source Java? · · Score: 0

    Blackdown's JRE/JDK builds aren't open-source or freely distributable.
