  1. Re:Beer recipe English version anyone? on Build Your Own BSD Beer Brewing Control System · · Score: 1

    That's the beauty of Open Source beer, you can translate it, submit your changes, get it approved and whalla . . . Open Source beer the english version :-)

  2. Re:Coincidence? on Build Your Own BSD Beer Brewing Control System · · Score: 1

    What license does your beer have? Hoping its the FreeBSD license, that GPL one has too many restrictions, it's easier if I can just slap another label on your beer and call it my own . . .

  3. Open Source Beer? on Build Your Own BSD Beer Brewing Control System · · Score: 3, Funny

    As with any open source project . . . we'll need a lot of testing. Any volunteers?

  4. Not that uncommon on Consumer Database Company Hacked Again · · Score: 1
    Many companies store sensitive data like this. A huge database of medical records in Cheyenne is ran by an admin who turned off VPN because of security concerns and then went to office-wide wireless. The problem is hubris among those who think they know everything but are too lazy to keep up on things.

    What will happen when something huge gets compromised? Why don't we have the CHOICE whether or not our data is handled by a bunch of incompetent admins? When I go to the doctor I should be able to assume my records are NOT winding up on a phucking wireless network!

  6. Re:Overview of Shading on OpenGL Shading Language · · Score: 1

    How could HLSL/Cg win?!?! Can one really group these together? Micro$oft and Nvidia collaborated on Cg, then M$ they went their seperate way. They aren't the same language, HLSL is platform dependent, only working on Windows systems, while Cg and GLSL can be used on Linux, Apple, etc.

  7. Fox News Reports . . . on MPAA Names Dan Glickman To Replace Jack Valenti · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    And in other news . . . "Bill Gates has been announced as head of the BSA"

    See, it could be worse ;-)

  8. Re:Its the way to the future . . . on Playing Nice: Reviews of CrossOver Office, WineX 4 · · Score: 1

    Except we can look at the source code and fix it. Big difference, with Linux big brother corporations don't hold the key, the users do.

    This is awesome. In fact, I believe that the best possible thing that can happen is more compatibility. Most Windows users absolutely despise Windows, and don't change because they are s-c-e-e-r-e-d! To be able to alleviate this fear, WineX apps are like bridges, training wheels for an OS.

    • Grandma, you CAN still use Quicken and Word, but you won't get SpyWare anymore!
    • Your business depends on Micro$oft OfficeXP? While you try out OOO we can set you up with this WineX app . . .
    • More examples could come, I'm sure you get the point.
  10. Verizon? on Mobile Cell Phone Towers For Disaster Relief · · Score: 1

    Have nothing but bad reception with Verizon at my place . . . think they'll bring a truck to park in front of my house? Maybe they should focus on coverage areas first.

  11. Re:My goodness on ViewSonic VP2290b Super High-Res Monitor · · Score: 1
    If you're going to spend $6000.00 on the monitor, might as well spend $2799.00 on the video card! 3Dlabs just announced the WildCat REALIZM 800, a PCIe card with DVI-dual link and 640 MB of on board GDDR3!

  12. Re:Wait a sec!!! on Disney Launches Fireworks With Compressed Air · · Score: 5, Funny

    Although the compressed air patent was given to a non profit, Disney did decide to hold onto the patent for fire.

  13. Re:Bah... on Nvidia Reintroduces SLI with GeForce 6800 Series · · Score: 1
    So apparently 2 VPUs cards are coming! 3Dlabs' new WildCat Realizm 800 card will have 2 chips running over 700 GFLOPS which they state doubles the raw performance of any competing card. Pair that with over 600mb RAM on board and we have quite a card. Might be a bit much for gaming at $2799 but for the professional graphix gurus using 3DS max and such . . .

    Of course, 2 of these cards in Alienware's new dual configuration PCIe motherboard would probably produce quite the gaming setup. You might even be able to spend 10 grand on your gaming system! Think how cool you would be then!
