  1. Re:Article ignores politican context on Canada Rejects Anti-Terror Laws · · Score: 1

    A selective reading of Garth's blog but at least you are paying attention. I'll point out a 3 line whip is "standard" refor&&servative practice and a very rare liberal one.

  2. Re:Who needs a version of the PATRIOT Act... on Canada Rejects Anti-Terror Laws · · Score: 1

    Oh there are quite a few of us. The Charter was an act of genius and has frustrated legislatures trying to restrict citizens rights ever since.

  3. Boots use flac on MP3's Loss, Open Source's Gain · · Score: 1

    Pretty near all the concert recordings are .flac these days and many of the CD rips are flac too. I have almost no lossy codecs in my music collection. It does span many gigabytes but they are not expensive. I can squeeze a .wav about in half with HQ settings.

  4. Re:How to play Vorbis on an Ipod? on MP3's Loss, Open Source's Gain · · Score: 1

    It's an old troll for sure .....

  5. Re:Help me please... on Iran Launches Payload into Space · · Score: 1

    As a Canadian buddhist what I want is one world. As nationalism is my main foe the Jewish example of clear and hold is a prime target. Racism defines the state of Israel as anyone who has investigated it knows.

  6. Re:Help me please... on Iran Launches Payload into Space · · Score: 1

    Well they certainly control the surrounding area composed mainly of the people forced from Israel by the Zionists. It is this and the fact that Israel is a religious state that makes me anti Zionist. You'll find most of us labeled anti semitic are in fact anti Zionist.

      Gaza is not the act of a people trying to live in peace, it is apartheid.

  7. Re:DRM is provably insecure on AACS Device Key Found · · Score: 1

    Most of the satellites are wide open ,,,, I think only direct-view is still whole.

  8. Re:Canada? yeah right on James Gosling Appointed to the Order of Canada · · Score: 1

    Cool you'll be starting on the Bush family soon I take it.

  9. Re:Sir James Gosling? on James Gosling Appointed to the Order of Canada · · Score: 1

    Yup Fitz is finished with Libby et al. March 15 he gets Connie to chew on ... nice.

  10. Re:seems reasonable on Sweden to Make Denial of Service Attacks Illegal · · Score: 1

    I guess if it's reasonable to hold more of your population, per capita, in jail than any other country you are correct. I will not even cross the damn border so my horror that you can be jailed for 2 years for "interferring (sic) with someones lawnmower or hairdrier (sic)" is moot.

      You poor people, the richest country on earth, I guess it's fitting.

  11. Does it run on linux? on NASA World Wind 1.4 Released With Trailer · · Score: 1

    No ... have fun with that windosers.

  12. Re:Tips for Vista Gaming: on Vista Not Playing Nice With FPS Games · · Score: 1

    I dunno 'bout vista but win 2000 and I believe XP will boot to a command prompt if you find the registry entry for the shell to boot to. Just remove "explorer.exe" and add "cmd.exe".

  13. Re:Holy hyperbole, batman! on Vista Not Playing Nice With FPS Games · · Score: 1

    D2X-X1 runs Descent very well on my slamd64 Linux box. Both 1 and 2 are just amazing at 720p on my Sony 34XS955 HDTV. I can crank em' to 1080i but my frame rate is a solid 60fps synced to 720p.

      I guess M$ has trouble with almost everything these days, maybe switch to a mature OS .... mwHahah.

  14. Re:You're all asking the wrong questions... on Sony Set to Market Blu-ray as Winner of Format War · · Score: 1

    Or perhaps how a company can declare it's CEO innocent of stock trickery. Sorry for the pointed stick macboyz ;).

  15. Re:More proprietary stuff. on Canonical and Linspire Make a Deal · · Score: 1

    I dunno. I just did a hacked up Slamd64 install, would not boot the DVD so I booted slak 9 or something and just installed off the hard drive. No biggy. However the install booted everything except my convoluted two brooktree devices on the PCI bus, it got one right.

      I mean that's just the start. I then slamed, heh, in the 2.6.20 kernel and my standard config and everything is up.

      The thing that surprised me was how the standard install just found and loaded everything but the second brooktree device. Amazing actually. No way a windose install would have done all that, it's always a PITA to get the satellite card up and windose will not run two brooktree cards at all.

  16. Re:This is (not all of) it. on Canonical and Linspire Make a Deal · · Score: 1

    It's true this is my toy but just installing SVN mplayer handles nearly every codec known to man. I tweak the setup so it's how I like it but it sure ain't rocket science.

  17. Re:This is (not all of) it. on Canonical and Linspire Make a Deal · · Score: 1

    I dunno. After a small hack I have Slamd64-current up and with a bit of digging I can now play every damn thing except the perhaps .EVO VC1 fies. I have video working, latest mplayer from SVN and the sound will work in a day or two, fudged ac3 AFAIKT.

      So I can't find a file or stream I can't feed to my sweet Sony HDTV. Distribution independant codecs ... had em' for a long time now.

  21. Re:OSX vs Vista vs Linux on Linux Kernel 2.6.20 Released · · Score: 1

    I remember it well. 500 mics of Owsely's finest. A purple double dome actually. Just killer for the normal weekend tripper. So that's why slak does it for me ....

  22. Re:So... on Linux Kernel 2.6.20 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Fishing actually. It's pretty well the inverse of the goat thing.

  23. Re:Wishful Thinking on Confidential Microsoft Emails Posted Online · · Score: 1

    My new Sony 34XS955, wonderful display, comes with a GPL disclaimer. The damn thing runs some form of embedded Linux, probably the scaler.

  24. Re:Outside the server market... on Confidential Microsoft Emails Posted Online · · Score: 1

    Couple of days ago. Broke xfs .. kinda ... damn huge HD files. Fixed it with a "xfs_repair -fn -L /dev/sda2". All good now ;).
