  1. /var/log/messages on Microsoft To Add A Black Box To Windows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    /var/log/messages is good enough for me.

  2. Bugzilla on Lack of Testing Threatening the Stability of Linux · · Score: 0

    If the average Linux user were educated on how to recognize a bug, and file a meaningful bug report it would mean a lot to developers, and likely speed up development and stability.

  3. Google on Vint Cerf on Internet Challenges · · Score: 1

    Somehow I don't think he will be able to convince the Google boys that there is no science going on on the Internet.

  4. Innovation vs Popularization on Google's Impact on the Internet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What it comes down to me is the fact that Google seems to actually care about pushing new ideas and new technologies. Microsoft has always been about giving the user as little as possible until someone else innovates, and then sinking cash into bringing it to the popular market.

    Microsoft's impact on the Internet exists because most people are browsing from a Microsoft platform. If Google can introduce a platform to browse to all their services easily (Google branded Knoppix, perhaps) they might just remove the element of: "I'll use Microsoft Internet services because it must work smoothly with my OS".

  5. Transfer Speeds on InPhase Announces 300GB Holographic Discs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Am I the only one who thinks that perhaps instead of pushing for greater capacity it is time to develop FASTER storage solutions? Yes, its nice to have a ton of storage, and there is (somewhat expensive) solutions already for those who need it, but if you want a FAST storage system you are pretty much stuck. Just as an afterthought, if (for some reason) I had a fast optical connection to a site I could theoretically transfer files to my PC faster than I could write to my disk.

  6. Features...err..bloat on KDE 3.4 RC1 Released · · Score: 0

    I don't mean to sound like I am flaming KDE or the development structure, but all this seems to be is a few more appliKations thrown into the default KDE install. I would love to see them take steps to make KDE LESS monolithic, and perhaps even go as far as to start removing packages from the default KDE app-set. Does anyone really use all ~3 text editors that come with KDE? Choose the best one, and if people like something 'different' allow them to install it themselves.

  7. Re:2004.3? on Gentoo Linux Releases 2004.3 · · Score: 0

    The plan is to start doing 2 releases per year, rather than 4. This will allow the devs more time to implement changes and fix bugs. Apparently the new cycle starts 2005.0 (The release that will likely also have an installer of some kind).

  8. Vaporware on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 0

    Looks like vaporware to me...

  9. gayporn on UserLinux Releases First Beta · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If you are looking for gayporn, just ask Giangio. The UserLinux screenshots say he is the guy to go to. :p http://img83.exs.cx/img83/8616/2004-06-01.jpg

  10. Re:Google is going to be upset on A GMail-based blog With 1000 MB of entries · · Score: 3, Informative

    For every user that fills their space there are ten thousand who barely use any. Trust me, they are making money regardless of what a few scripters do.

  11. Guess What on Macaque Monkey Goes Totally Bipedal · · Score: 1

    Guess what... its still a monkey! This might be big news if it decides to have offspring that are not monkeys.

  12. Re:Obligitory Star Trek Reference on Let the Mindgames Begin · · Score: 1

    Damn, beat me to it.

  13. Resistance is Futile on Gentoo for Mac OS X Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...all your base are belongs to gentoo I can not say enough good things about the direction this Distro is going. Future of Linux, or the future of all OS's?
