  1. Re:Great, but needs guidelines. on Debian Packages Screenshots Repository Launched · · Score: 1

    Those guidelines govern the screenshots themselves, not what does and does not warrant a screenshot.

    For instance... what possible reason would you want a screenshot for the 'linux-image' package?

    ... and no, "you must be new here" isn't a valid answer to "RTFM/RTFS". Click the fucking links and use your brains!

  6. Re:I think I'll pass. on Wolfram Research Releases Mathematica 7 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    OK, perhaps I should explain something.

    1. Release team
    2. Initial distribution (closed FTP, IRC etc)
    3. Usenet
    4. P2P (Torrents, Kademlia, etc)

    The pirate bay folks don't do anything except shuffle bits.

    Shame that "God Particle" was actually "God-dammed particle."

    Minority vs Majority. It has nothing to do with class and everything to do with ratio.

    The flaw in your reasoning is your assertion that nobody would pay for it.

  19. Re:Why linux first on Adobe Releases Preview of 64-bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You've also been asking for 64-bit nvidia drivers for a good while as well?

    The real solution is to give the community what they need to do it themselves. It's the easy, cheap, lazy, and better way out.

    I would be interested (read: entertained) for the reasoning behind their decision.

    For $1M, the perp may be encouraged to try some Ninja access. Dead-tree plant in your residence and an anonymous phone call... that's all it would take.

    Yea, if only you could do that. I stopped going to movies because I was sick of paying up front and being disappointed.

    Because there is no Linux demo yet?

    Not to mention that I couldn't find system requirements.

    I'm not going to pay for something that I don't know:
    1. It will work
    2. It will be fun

    I haven't pirated it myself, but I would if I was that thrilled with the idea of the game. That's not to say I wouldn't purchase after (like I did with Fallout 3... stole to try (no demo at all...) and purchased when sure)

  25. Re:On an unrelated note... on New Report On NSA Released Today · · Score: 1

    You know, that's not that bad an idea. But then, why go through the trouble to work with the reflector as well? Just more complexity. I understand beryllium is difficult to machine.
