  1. Re:Yes, but... on Fedora Core 6 Released · · Score: 1

    And yet Gentoo doesn't even have 'major versions' like that and works just fine.

  2. Re:Good so far.... but where is sarcasm key? on Firefox 2 Launch - Interview With Chris Beard · · Score: 1

    MSNBC doesn't have anything to do with Microsoft anymore and hasn't for a few years.. You should have said "Slate" because that's currently owned by MSN.

  3. Re:Before taking on Firefox and Opera? on IE7 From a Firefox User's Perspective · · Score: 1

    Not from people who don't just blindly use the default browser.

  4. Re:FF2 on Firefox 2.0 Posted a Day Early · · Score: 1

    Well, that's because you use Debian and Firefox. You know they don't get along!

  5. Re:Where there are worms... on Malware In Quantum Computing? · · Score: 1

    But SG-1 needs wormholes to save the world from the Goa'uld!

  6. Re:Command and Conquer 2 on The Curse of the Wayward Sequel · · Score: 1

    What the hell is C&C2? The only Command and Conquer game with a 2 in it was Red Alert 2. (And the only one that really sucked IMHO was Generals but that's not C&C)

    And it also invites those pesky Sycorax.

    But can it perform cunnilingus on a memewood floor?

  9. Re:Sure he's not a Canadian Communism Student? on A New Spin on Open Source Business Models · · Score: 1

    In theory, communism is an economic model where the workers own the means of production. That's what it means in theory, and something similar was put into practice in Paris during the early days of the French Revolution as the Paris Commune before it was attacked. Cooperatives are close to that form of communism. In practice, a dictator takes power and it becomes a totalitarian government. American corporations are close to that form of communism.

    It's still better than oppressing two billion so that we can have cheap goods.

  11. Re:The Muhammad Yunus business model on A New Spin on Open Source Business Models · · Score: 1

    Yes, but can it put a camel through the eye of a needle?

  12. Re:Yes but ... on Metaverse the Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1

    Name me one existing control system that works better. If you say console controller or even Wiimote I'll be able to tell that you're trolling.

    There is nothing inherently power-of-ten about those systems.

  14. Re:Actually it's 45.6 Mb on Firefox 2.0 Posted a Day Early · · Score: 1

    There is a technical reason to use 'megabytes' as a power of two. There is no technical reason to use 'insect' to refer to a spider.

  15. Re:BitTorrent links on Firefox 2.0 Posted a Day Early · · Score: 4, Informative

    The new Firefox has a spell checker(one of the first things I disabled). There are spelling differences between US and UK English.

  16. Re:Inscription warning... on Thieves Find Cemetery of Pharaoh's Dentists · · Score: 1

    The snake is in the crocodile. For that reason, the crocodile's eyes are glowing.

  17. Re:Tumors? on Stem Cell Therapy Causes Tumors · · Score: 5, Funny

    Because the problem still remains--research causes cancer in rats.

  18. Re:For the sake of non-Windows users on Firefox 2.0 Posted a Day Early · · Score: 2, Funny

    For the sake of your own sanity due to jokes made about your name, change your name from "Hachamovitch".

  19. Re:Which release group gets credit? on Firefox 2.0 Posted a Day Early · · Score: 1

    I don't think Firefox includes crack.

  20. Re:Actually it's 45.6 Mb on Firefox 2.0 Posted a Day Early · · Score: 3, Funny

    There is no such thing as a mebibyte. A megabyte is always 1048576 bytes. You also never use megabits when referring to file sizes, only when referring to the speed of a network connection. A megabit is 1000000 bits but it's rarely seen not per second.

  21. Re:why? on Halo Film Still On Track · · Score: 1

    Oops, than 'the movie itself'.

  22. Re:why? on Halo Film Still On Track · · Score: 1

    Let's put it this way: the credits, which is just a Doom-style shooting of all the names of the people who did the film while a NIN song is playing, were more interesting than the song itself.

  23. Re:Now you know when you will be an adult on The Tale of Seanbaby and Uwe Boll · · Score: 0, Troll

    Only two or three of Maddox's articles are actually funny. The rest are just Howard Stern-type manufactured controversy that isn't actually very controversial. The hatemail is kinda funny but that's unintentional humor from the hatemailers.

  24. Re:Wow an internet tough gyu on The Tale of Seanbaby and Uwe Boll · · Score: 1

    I actually think Uwe Boll is the more talented one here.
