    You shouldn't be using PHP in the first place, it's worse than BASIC in teaching you bad programming habits. Oh, and can you draw 'the DRM' in the style of a superhero villain? Like that 'RMS screwing the penguin' pic, it's for the good of the community, except this is even better--it's for the even better of the community!

    I think, if they don't comply, they become contraband in the EU or something.

    *stabs barbazoo* If the word does not end in "-ius", the plural does not end in "-ii". Lini is the correct word. Every time you misuse "-ii", God masturbates and in doing so kills 1024 kittens. THINK OF THE KITTENS!

  6. Re:I wonder if they will be less shady than PayPal on Google to Test PayPal Rival · · Score: 4, Insightful

    GBuy *will* be less evil. It's hard to be more evil than PayPal, and we're talking about a company who believes in not evil.

  7. Re:BRING BACK THE TROLL POPULATION on The 10 Tech People Who Don't Matter · · Score: 1

    Trolls are scumbags pure and simple, bringing them back would be counterproductive and just ruin Slashdot, the 'good postings' they make was just so their Karma wouldn't burn like it should, and the ban system is the one thing preventing Slashdot from going the way of Kuro5hin.

    I used bitlbee a while ago but it didn't work on Jabber.

  13. Only the large networks are like that on Freenode Network Hijacked, Passwords Compromised? · · Score: 1

    On smaller networks, you see a lot fewer of those types. When you have a lot of people somewhere(tens to hundreds of thousands on Freenode) a lot of them tend to be bad.

    Are you saying that war doesn't lead to people sharing a common cause? Because it obviously does.
    The only thing remotely similar to a common cause I see during war is the anti-war movement. NEXT.
    But if you make friends with shallow, flighty, lightweights then they'll abandon or betray you at their whim. It doesn't seem wise.
    And if you make friends with people who consider "resolve", "steadfastness", and "consistency" the key traits they'll stand by you when you orchestrate the Holocaust. I'd rather have those people betrayed.
    The loss of right and wrong is the problem.
    No, the problem is the constructed systems of 'right and wrong' designed to keep the good passive and the bad active.

    If you're talking about their network drivers, you're completely right. If you have an nForce card, use the open-source drivers--forcedeth for Linux and OpenBSD's nfe for BSD variants. Their video drivers are pretty good although nv is always getting better.

  21. Re:Planned Parenthood on Billions Donated to Charity · · Score: 0, Troll

    Margaret Sanger was not a racist. Although she believed in eugenics(in the pre-Hitler days, a lot of people did) and Hitler's method of eugenics was quite racist, Sanger made clear statements against Nazi racism and clearly said that her eugenics(which is crap, but that was before we knew enough about DNA and such to know this) was not racist.
    You wanna know who the real racists are? The ones who want abortion banned. Such beliefs are based on the stupid belief that women aren't smart enough to decide for themselves and a hatred for poor people, many of whom are minorities. Banning abortion makes the poor poorer(more mouths to feed for the poor, may not matter much for the rich to have 6 kids but feeding them does put a serious dent for the poor) and therefore decreases the quality of living for minorities in America even further. Adoption, you say? Adoption doesn't work unless the child is completely full of defects and white(the people who can afford to adopt usually don't want a black baby unless they need PR), yet again screwing minorities.

    The biggest problem with Jabber is that there's no really good console client for it like irssi is for IRC.
