    Last I heard, Gentoo was a species of penguin.... Maybe I missed the joke

    Funny, because with Slackware I ended up doing most all of that by hand anyways when setting up. Oh well,

    You mean my "ultra-super-duper-optimized" Gentoo install isn't that good after all?

  8. Re:Oh I DO hope.... on Desktop Linux Summit Highlights · · Score: 2, Informative

    It is default root, that's what most people's (for obviously good reasons) gripe with Linspire is.

  9. Re:ha on Why MS is Not Opening More Source Code · · Score: 1

    Not to mention how many times "Hack" and "Ugly Hack" are used like it tells here

    Yes, and it's still a joke right?

  11. Re:Easy! on NASA Proposes Warming Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    DDT is dangerous? So is that why my uncle is slightly stupid because he used to think it was fun to ride his bike "in the fog." It all makes sense now.

  12. Re:On the firewall on Where Does NetBSD Fit In? · · Score: 1

    You do realize most the security holes in BSD's are introduced AFTER the base install right?

  13. Re:Interesting how this post appears.... on The NeXT-Best Thing: GNUSTEP 0.9.4 Live CD · · Score: 1

    It's interesting I was looking at OpenStep/GNUstep stuff about 8 weeks ago for quite sometime before all these articles started coming out =P

  14. Re:Interesting... on Student Logs Teachers Keystrokes · · Score: 1

    If that's a similar product to the one on this page http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/usb-ps2-adapter .htm then it may not work. And the other one they have on there looks freaking huge. So, it looks like they exist (I didn't doubt that) but how well they work and how big they are I suppose it the kicker for this discussion right?

  15. Re:What kind of idiot... on Student Logs Teachers Keystrokes · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you're referring to the actual article, then maybe this quote will help " 'He was cooperative and admitted he had done this,' Simpson said, adding that police confiscated the device, which plugged into a keyboard port in the back of a computer tower."

    Sooo, how many run of the mill teachers are supposed to be checking their ps2 port every day, or even before/after each class? Yeah... That's what I thought!

  16. Re:Pascal on A Brief History of Programming Languages? · · Score: 1

    Is Pascal all but dead?

    Not really, www.freepascal.org would be a good start if you're still interested for some reason. (though I couldn't find freepascal on the chart because my understanding it's a mix between first Borland Object Pascal and now Delphi. Maybe it's because it's similar to those to be just considered one of the other.) But FreePascal is quite interesting IMHO.

    Oh yeah, Pascal was the first language I learned back my freshman year of high school in 2000. The language was ditched for Java when a new instructor came in 2002 though.

    vi, kde, pc, both suck, pirate only because my friend kills ninjas... can't get too attached to them you know?

  19. Re:Flamebait -1 on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 1

    They asked about Linux, not BSD's. For what the person asked I'd guess either FreeBSD or NetBSD (I don't know much about DragonflyBSD.) Though fbsd and nbsd both have similar features to what is being asked for, not all software works perfect with the BSD's. Their Linux emulation layer isn't bad, but from what I've seen it's not perfect. The one thing they don't have would probably be the "high-level support options." On a side note, I like NetBSD and Slackware.

    Communism was this vaguely threatening bogeyman who could lob nuclear missles at your country

    Yes, WWIII would have been threatening (assuming all the nuclear bombs being thrown back and forth would be called WWIII or if anyone was around to call it that.) Not to mention that there were some very close calls during the Cold War that could have sparked that to happen

  23. Re:Misleading Title on DJB Announces 44 Security Holes In *nix Software · · Score: 1

    Not so true in the BSD world. From what I've read the kernel and base system are considered one in the same (or something along those lines. Talk to a BSD expert, but it's something like that.)

  24. Re:Platform or application? on Open Source on Windows - Boon or Bane for Linux? · · Score: 1

    Look how much of sourceforge is full of duplicate GTK/QT frontends to some library someone came up with.

    Hell, there are just as many small projects like that for Windows. Or maybe you just don't ever go to shareware/freeware sites. So I hardly understand your argument.

    Ummmmmm..... didn't 98lite modify windows 98, meaning it wasn't a reimplementation of it? Or am I just remembering wrong.
