  1. 404 on Laser Surgery Goes Online · · Score: 1

    error 404 the surgeon who was messing with your insides can no longer be found try pressing the refresh button, if the problem persists contact your network administrator...

  2. Begging for trolls... on March of the Penguins Tops Box Offices · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why on earth is this filed under "Linux"?

  3. Peoples Republic of Canada on Hundreds of Sites Blocked By Canadian ISP · · Score: 1

    Haven't you heard? Canada is the new China... On a serious note, this is probably one of the few times when government should start meddling in the affairs of private enterprise. Especially one part of an oligopoly.

  4. Good PR move... on Novell To Open Source SUSE · · Score: 1

    SuSE has always seemed a little to corporate for F/OSS, there were probably many people who were confused about exactly what the licensing terms were. Releasing evaluation versions could have also contributed to reluctance on the part of noobs to give it a try. Hopefully they will bake cd images available on opensuse and clear up some of the confusion

  5. honeypot... on Wireless Hijacker Dealt First UK Punishment · · Score: 3, Interesting

    we should all open up public aps, log the connections and send law enforcement large lists of mac addresses of 1337 h4x0rs...
     
    that might cause them to reconsider how they enforce the law.

  6. fttp... on 50Mbps Cable Launched on Long Island · · Score: 5, Insightful

    looks like fiber to the premesis is causing real competition... good to see cable companoes still know how to compete...

  7. Lang + torrent on Knoppix 4.0 DVD - Like a Kid in a Candy Store · · Score: 0, Redundant

    in soviet russia "in soviet russia" jokes kill you...

  9. but... on London Turned into Giant Board Game · · Score: 5, Funny

    real life counterstrike would be better... guess you'd have to go to iraq for that though...

  10. openoffice... on OpenSolaris Code Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    if this project is half as successful for sun as openoffice is i'm sure they'll be happy they decided to open it...

  11. from the whoami dept. on Tor Named One of the Year's Best Products · · Score: 1

    should have been:

    from the it's-so-great-we-banned-it dept.

  12. hardware costs... on Municipal Wi-Fi Networks in London, Alexandria · · Score: 1

    lots of cities are trying to implement large "hotspots" using current hardware (802.11g) with 802.11n not too far off the savings would have to be enormous if they were to wait just a short amount of time for the new hardware... it could cut their repeater requirements in a big way...

  13. sorry... on FreeBSD 5.4 Review · · Score: 1

    netcraft confirms... bsd is alive!

  14. b$ from m$ on Initial Review of Microsoft's Acrylic BETA · · Score: 1

    who needs this when it's impossible to rival the power of ms paint look at this

  15. the average joe... on AMD Quad Cores, Oh My · · Score: 1

    most folks buy a new computer when their machine gets slow... most peoples machines get slow when the re's too much spyware for other apps to compete with...

    there are people who upgrade from 2.4ghz machines to 3ghz+ because their old machine wasn't powerful enough to surf the web or compose emails...

    i would imagine that much of the demand for faster chips is fueled by people who don't know enough to just format their machine and reinstall their os...

  16. well on Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (r0a) Quick Tour · · Score: 1

    i hope this miracle release from debian will keep the ubuntu folks from straying too far from the original core... it's nice when all your apps just work(tm)

  17. Remember... on Microsoft Bans 'Democracy' for China's Web Users · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Redmond, Democracy Bans You!

  18. obligatory... on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 2, Funny

    in soviet redmond, documents own you!!!

  19. not the only show in town... on Find Linux Torrents Quickly · · Score: 1


    our site also lists linux torrents (as well as others) and their stats... there are also a number of other sites dealing in f/oss that do torrent listings...

  20. Re:sounds like... on More Details on IE7 Tabs · · Score: 1, Insightful

    fair enough, but firefox is the first browser in a long time to threaten m$ft's monopoly... so "their" features are being "borrowed"

  21. sounds like... on More Details on IE7 Tabs · · Score: 5, Funny

    someone's been using firefox!!!

  22. just a thought... on Bram Cohen to Release BitTorrent Search Engine · · Score: 3, Interesting

    will the search engine be open source???

    if the source is released under an open source license it would make it nearly impossible for a "gold standard" bittorrent search engine to emerge...

    getting the community to help with the development would spread out not only the work, but the blame if it ever comes down to litigation...

  23. hurting the image (even more) on Bram Cohen to Release BitTorrent Search Engine · · Score: 2, Insightful

    if said engine displayed the torrents with the highest amount of seeds that it was tracking... i have a feeling they wouldn't all be linux iso images but you'd be more likely to have the mpaa interested if joe sixpack can get the new starwars movie without too much difficulty, and with loads of help from the creator of the protocol...

    if this is a quick cash grab on brams part i hope he's considered how quickly legal fees can kill even the most profitable business...

  24. Re:skype... on Pingtel Open Source VoIP Debuts in Europe · · Score: 1

    basically skype relies on exploiting idiots

    just like every government... and most corporations...
