  1. Re:Why does this sound bad to me? on Linux Unreal Tournament Status Update · · Score: 1

    Why do hackers ever program for anyone?

    Well, they do it for that 1 special person in their life; themselves ;-)

    If I owned UT, I'd hack at the source, if only to get a few extra frames/sec out of it. Wouldn't you?

    I'd be suprised if there are any coders out there who wouldn't.

  2. Senator Alston is an idiot on Lotus Says: The Industry Supports Censorship · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but Senator Alston is just clueless.

    When SBS (a publically funded TV station, dedicated to providing international content) did a live feed of an Indonesian broadcast that stated that Australian soldiers were going around beating and killing people, he gave SBS a slap on the wrist.

    Maybe somebody should explain to him about why treating the cause works so much better than treating the symptoms...

  3. ROM Patches on Apple Prevents G3 Owners From Upgrading to G4 · · Score: 2

    The vMac people have been doing ROM patching for quite some time, and BasiliskII is practically built apon it.

    How hard could it be to write a G4 enabler via an OF-based bootloader?

  4. beside the point on Feature: The End of the Tour · · Score: 1

    The fate of the Linux kernel is beside the point, it's the millions of programs that make up the operating system that count.

    Debian will always be Debian, Free Software will always be, uh.. forget I said that ;-)

    Think about the small projects you're envolved in; you're favourite library, or favourite MUA, etc.

    The masses think Linux, but it's always good to think of the little people behind the big celebraty.

  5. Who Are You? on Townshend to Complete "Lifehouse" · · Score: 1

    Well, that was their first hit, anyway ;-)

    while(1){("Whooo are you"; backing(who who who-who-who);)} /* The Song -- To get it in your head */

    Also, there are quite a few others, that stick in your head, without you even remembering that it's The Who that sung it.
