  1. Re:What a wanker. on Looking Forward, Ubuntu Linux 6.06 · · Score: 1

    No, you just broke it. KDE is a supremely inferior interface to anything else, except Microsoft.

  3. Re:KDE / Kubuntu developers are complaining! on Looking Forward, Ubuntu Linux 6.06 · · Score: 1

    What do Google and Novell have to do with Microsoft? As far as I can tell, Microsoft wants to fucking kill Google and Google is not evil. And Novell is quite a strong supporter of Linux. Don't they also fund KDE? So, if your "Novell -> Microsoft" link is true, KDE goes to Microsoft much more quickly. Oh wait, you were spreading FUD. Nevermind.

    There's a Mac gaming community?

    When Debian or Ubuntu allows me to configure the compilation of my packages without breaking a sweat, then you can say Gentoo is useless. Until then, go back to Windows.

    I agree. The lightweight WM I'm using, pekwm, uses the "Windows" key(which X, and therefore pekwm, actually calls Mod4) extensively, and it's useful. Most people who don't like the Windows key don't like it because of its name. I don't like the name either.

    Academic Word God is singularity evil.

    Nature is cubic creation.

    And, to make this vaguely on-topic, this is what Gene Ray thinks about Wikipedia:
    Wikipedia allowing the educated stupid to evaluate the 4 simultaneous 24 hr. days within a single rotation of Earth, equates allowing atheist to proof-read the bible. Dr. Gene Ray --- is the only authoritative Time Cube expert, at www.timecube.com.

    Dr. Gene Ray offers Wikipedia $10,000.00 to disprove math that 1 rotation of 4 Earth quadrants within the 4 quarter Harmonic Time Cube does create 4 simultaneous 24 hr. days. Both Americans & Wikipedia are evil to deny or ignore Cubic Creation. Is Wikipedia a Singularity Brotherhood controlled Trojan Horse indoctrination - that edits Time Cube to a negative view? Who edits the Time Cube on Wikipedia? It is evil for Coryoth to edit Time Cube. Will I get reply or will the Wisest Human just be ignored until silenced by death?

    No, bankers use a technology even more obscure than that--commercial Unix. Seriously, nobody uses commercial Unix except banks.

    Not if you're on Ubuntu and using sudo to reach the editor for sudoers, and you make a typo that prevents you from getting root. Then you're screwed if you don't have Knoppix.

  12. Re:Who is better? President Bush or Gates? on Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? · · Score: 1
    If you call opposing the creation of a race of subhumans bred only for their stem cells to be anti-intellectual then I hope we have more of it. You are intellectually dishonest.
    I call opposing the ability to get the stem-cells of babies at all blocking our way to get cures for diseases anti-intellectual, I call putting pseudoscience(Intelligent Design) on the same level of science(Evolution) to be anti-intellectual(and yes, I have quotes from Bush saying he wants ID put on the same level as Evolution in science courses. And yes, ID is pseudoscience until you show me how to falsify it.)
    Gates will be similarly hated for his 25+ years of distorting and terrorising the software industry.
    Let's hope so.

    digg prettier than Slashdot? Slashdot may not be the prettiest site on the web, but digg is more oculosanguinimittificient(causing eyes to bleed) than the pink "OMG PONIES" theme /. used(which was funny at first, but then my eyes started to bleed)

  17. Re:What's Wrong With Glasses? on Contact Lenses for Computer Professionals? · · Score: 1

    I'm wearing glasses right now, and the only *real* problem(excepting breakage) with them is that they can fall off when your head is at a certain angle(they can sometimes be hard to see when they fall off, but contacts are obviously worse). That and sunglasses, but those aren't a problem when you have clip-on or magnet-on sunglasses, or those special lenses that get darker.

  19. Re:Here are a couple of bookmarks for ya on Slashdot Bookmarks · · Score: 1

    The children of immigrants always speak English. The immigrants themselves may have trouble with English, but that's because it's very hard to learn a foreign language past a certain age(Did your parents take a foreign language during high school or college? Do they still remember it?), but the children, raised here, will know English better than the native language of wherever their parents come from. Always. My Latin teacher's father came here from Italy(during the times when Italian immigrants were much more common, and Italians and the Irish took the place Mexicans take today), and he only knows Italian from the things he's tried to teach himself from textbooks. I'll bet one of your ancestors came here from another country, or are you a Native American? The US has always been a nation of immigrants, and as much as you looked to find the one quote from a Founding Father which can be strained in a hugely incorrect way to be anti-immigrant, we have always been a nation of immigration(although the people have always hated immigrants, for the same reasons even) Don't like immigration? I'd say to go to somewhere else, but then you'd be an immigrant there. Immigrants didn't destabilize the US economy any of the other times, they won't destabilize it today.
