  1. Re:MySQL may be next target of SCO lawsuit on MySQL and SCO Join Forces · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They won't be able to do another Linux FUD lawsuit. Novell is suing them for more than they're worth. Now let's just hope that they win...

  2. Re:Wow. on Cyan Worlds Closes · · Score: 1

    If they ignored the dupe stories, they wouldn't be able to karmawhore with dupewhining.

    You forgot about the LGPL.

    The song name is "Good Riddance(Time Of Your Life)", however, the people playing it on the radio and such cut off the "Good Riddance" part. On their greatest hits album, International Superhits!, they called it "Good Riddance".

    I think it's time travel to the Clinton years.

    Why doesn't the commercial media (he would call it Corporate media) report things like.... the lies of our president.
    Because it wouldn't make a good news story. They can report on other bad things Bush did though, like whether or not he faked his service record, because that'd make a good story.
    This is one of the reasons I'm pissed off at the fact that corporations run the major news media, rather than PBS or the equivelant.
  7. Re:Bury? on Balmer Vows to Kill Google · · Score: 1

    Actually, "We will bury you" is just a bad translation. According to the Wiki article, it's more like "We will hold your funeral".

  8. Re:mod parent ++7!!!! security expert !! on Anti-Virus Protection For Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    You do realize that Linux security holes are usually caught before they're exploited, right?

  9. Re:What if the shoe was on the other foot? on RIAA Hands out more Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    Comparing P2P infringement to GPL violation is a perfect example of apples-to-oranges.
    RIAA's goal: maximize their money and their stranglehold over the industry. GPL's goal: maximize code freedom.

    Indie is a common word meaning "independent"

  11. Re:Wake me... on Microsoft to Launch "Skype Killer" · · Score: 1

    Yes, because Mac and Linux are EVIL PINKO COMMIE OSES and the ONLY TRUE CAPITALIST OS is MICROSOFT WINDOWS, therefore you must use it or else you are a COMMIE!

    Galapagos Islands. The lizards all adapted to their environment. Proof of evolution. To evolve a complex organism from a single-celled, you'd need millions of years.

    It's amazing that Americans don't realise (realize?) that our way of spelling predates their braindead version, and of course is the CORRECT way to spell.
    Actually, Webster came before any British attempt to make a dictionary. Before Webster, there was chaos. Webster mostly tried to use phonetic spellings for everything(it didn't fully work, mostly because "English orthography" is an oxymoron, and also because not all of Webster's changes were accepted), whereas Oxford, the major British dictionary, tried to match everything to its historical pronunciation in other languages. It's amazing that Brits think American English spelling is braindead, but they don't realize that British spelling is braindead as well.
    And English is pluricentric.(i. e. There's More Than One Way To Spell It--wreaks havoc just as much in English as it does in Perl) Over here, colour is not the correct way to spell. (And centre should be pronounced sen-truh. Sorry, just had to get that out. :P)
