  2. Better Not on YouTube to Offer Every Music Video Ever Created? · · Score: 1

    No one wants to see my dog dancing and singing to Madonna videos. At least I don't think so.

  3. Very good combination on First Impressions of Freespire 1.0 · · Score: 1

    I like that there are two version - OSS and the one with the proprietary bits. It's your choice! Also, CNR is a very nice interface for installing applications - I am very happy to see it leave the non-free world. It is a good example of how to make money with free software. The CNR client is free, but the service is a fee.

  4. Re:Prosecute virus creating companies. on Banner Ad on Myspace Serves Adware to 1 Million · · Score: 1

    False Dilemma (Trilemma?). It is all of the above. Just for the record, my main reason IS performance, because I use a lot of older laptops. Flash can absolutely trash those machines. Blocking it provides a very snappy web on P-233's!

    Not trying to flamebait here, but what is one of the OS's that will be running on PS3? Hint, it starts with L and ends with X.

  10. Debian and Grub on The Boot Loader Showdown · · Score: 1

    I've had a problem with debian or debian-based ditros on older machine. The problem has to do with the bios report drive size incorrectly larger hard drives. I have to set the drive to _not use_ LBA, install the OS, and then AFTER grub has been installed, I change the bios back to LBA. This includes debian, mepis, Linspire, etc. I assume it has something to do with how debian-based distros install grub and the fact that the bios may not be reporting the disk size correctly (when I switch to Large in the bios instead of LBA, the disk size is reported correctly by the bios). I've has no problem with non-debian based distros, and with any distro that uses Lilo. I've had no trouble with the BSD's. Just FYI.

  11. A link would be nice on Windows XP Flaw 'Extremely Serious' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How come no-one ever includes a link to an infected site. I'm surfing with Firefox under Linux and I would just like to check out some of the infected sites so I can look at the source to see what they are doing. Links anyone? P.S., windoze users please don't click the link.

  12. Well... on Is the Dell/Microsoft Alliance Fracturing? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Does it mean that it might soon become possible to order Dell's full line of personal systems with Linux installed, or no OS/FreeDOS to save the Microsoft tax?
