  1. Re:LKML could be a soap opera on Linus Puts Kibosh On Banning Binary Kernel Modules · · Score: 1

    If you disregard all the constant patches being sent, it is a soap opera on LKML. If you've ever read the fun arguments Hans Reiser had with the kernel folks over getting Reiser4 in to the kernel, you'd know what I mean.

  2. Re:Even easier. on Online Store to Sue Blogger Over Google Ranking? · · Score: 1

    At least people don't write emails like they do novels; that sort of writing would obviously be spam in most circumstances.

  3. Re:Hardly free on Complete Mozart Works Now Free · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's free of charge (i.e. gratis), not just "free". The word free by itself in this context makes no sense and leaves plenty of ambiguities.

  4. Re:A+ on Complete Mozart Works Now Free · · Score: 1

    Let the free market sort that out. If the producers deserve to get paid, they will get paid.

    Sorry, but spamassassin has marked your post as spam.

    That seriously reads like the spam that's been getting past Gmail's filters in the past couple months.

    Google can see your comments on article.pl, so that's what matters.

  7. Re:Why build it into the stack? on Vista's TCP/IP Promises and Perils · · Score: 1

    Good catch. I'm neither a network admin nor a network engineer (more in to computer science and general "* Admin" stuff).

  8. Re:Why build it into the stack? on Vista's TCP/IP Promises and Perils · · Score: 1

    That's because network admins are to Cisco as Mac fanboys are to Macs.

    ISPs could always implement a blacklist instead that blocks old versions of Windows...

  10. Re:Firewalls for Linux on 'Leak' Test of 21 Personal Firewalls · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Since your parents obviously aren't network admins, they wouldn't be qualified to do that on Windows either. Your point?

  11. Re:Version Number Deflation... on VLC 0.8.6 Released · · Score: 1

    MPlayer hasn't released 1.0 yet. In fact, their latest release snapshot was 1.0rc1 (the 'pre' in 1.0pre8 for example means "pre-release" or "preview").

  12. Re:Hmmm....WMV9 on OS X? on VLC 0.8.6 Released · · Score: 1

    The only illegality in question for the WMV3 decoder is patent infringement, but it's not like Microsoft makes any effort to posting the relative patents needed to license WMV3/VC-1 like MPEG does for its standards.

  13. Re:Verizon cripples Bluetooth on Consumer Reports: Cingular, Sprint Bad Performers · · Score: 1

    Are you basing your price range on phones you can get from your provider's store, or phones you can get at full price? Full price phones tend to be at least $200 (unless you get a cheap one of course). For example, the Motorola ROKR E2 (badass multimedia Linux-based phone) costs about $250. If your provider sold these phones, it'd probably be something like $100 or less because they're going to make back that money via your contract.

    Oh yeah: the iPhone would probably fall under the price range of an iPod (which coincidentally is the same as the mobile phone range for the most part), so you can't get saved there! Although, that would be awesome to see the iPhone anytime soon with GSM support (Cingular uses GSM by the way) at least.

    But people buy one desktop and several games.

  15. Re:10K RPM LAPTOP DRIVE? LOLZ... on Why Do Computers Take So Long to Boot Up? · · Score: 1

    You're not supposed to put a notebook on your lap. "Laptop" is an incorrect term because it leads to sterility and other unwanted heat dissipating in your groinal areal.

    Never fuck up a remove again! It might get annoying, but at least you know you won't screw anything up.

    You could also use a trash of some sort:

    rm()
    {
      mv "$@" ~/.Trash/
    }
    Use /bin/rm when you're sure of what you're doing.

  20. GPL? on Java SE 6 Released · · Score: 1, Redundant

    What happened to Sun releasing Java under the GPL? I'm still getting a click-wrap license agreement here...

  21. Is this the new theme for iTunes 7? on Apple's Illuminous (Aqua v2) to Compete with Aero · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Since iTunes 7 doesn't follow the rest of the Tiger application themes, this might have something to do with that theme. Maybe they're going to make all the apps consistent regardless of use? Or maybe they're going to introduce even more categories to use when designing the UI for your app so that you Windows themers can't copy the OS X theme? :P

    KDE's kwin does, but it's somewhat of a hack (in my experience/opinion) if it was supposed to be like Mac OS X's application bar.

    But he's criticising Windows Vista, not Windows 2000. Have you seen Vista's shutdown menu? Have you read the article on Slashdot about how much time and effort went into making it?

    I feel your pain; this is fucking ridiculous. Scalpers are almost as bad (if not worse) when it comes to the Wii compared to the PS3. I am not going to wait several hours in subzero weather outside a Target/Best Buy/Walmart/non-gaming store (wtf is up with the low supplies given to the stores that actually specialise in games?) just to get one.
