  1. Re:I thought this was decided a long time ago on Gnome Removed From Slackware · · Score: 5, Informative

    Just make sure you know what you're doing when installing Dropline GNOME. When I tried to uninstall it, it killed my system. I ended up reinstalling Slackware.

  2. Re:"Octopus" is Latinized Greek on Wily Octopi Walk on Two Arms · · Score: 1

    Octopuses is the best way to say it. Source: http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutgr ammar/plurals

  3. Re:Timely? on LinuxPPC64 Contest · · Score: 0, Redundant

    From the article text:
    "Registration begins on March 15, 2005!
    Entries are due by July 15, 2005!"

  4. Re:Err...looks like Linux? on Solaris 10 Installation and Desktop Walkthrough · · Score: 1

    Their desktop environment apparently uses nautilus: http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?re lease=279&slide=38

  5. Keep in mind: This is beta on OpenOffice.org 2.0 Preview · · Score: 1

    I'm running the beta of OpenOffice.org 2 on Linux. It looks nice, but not all the features seem to be working. If you're planning on using OpenOffice.org for anything you find important, use the stable version. I tested the AutoRecover, and it's not working well. Other features may not work correctly as well. I'm sure many of the problems will be fixed in the final release, but please use the stable for anything but testing.

  6. Re:iRiver one of most under-appreciated MP3 on Gameboy Emulation on your MP3 Player · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Hehe, you forgot to mention that iRiver supports ogg vorbis ;)

  7. Re:Writing vs Coding on Six Laws of the New Software · · Score: 1

    The parent and this post feel ironic.

  8. Trendy on Verizon and Microsoft Partner for IPTV · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I like how Microsoft, like Apple, is moving beyond just PCs.

  9. Elitists are bad? on Toys For The Rich To Cultivate Product Popularity · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sorry, slashdot community :(

  10. Re:Keyboard? on Korg's New Keyboard Powered by Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah, "synthesizer" would be a better word.

  11. Hosting a video? on Mac mini Dissection · · Score: 5, Funny

    Let's hope it's not hosted on a dissected mac mini. Unless it's overclocked. Then it's OK.

  12. Re:eyecandy on Overclockix 3.7 Released · · Score: 1

    obviously not Enlightenment :)

  13. Re:Thank God! on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I didn't mean for the first sentence to be in there. Attribute it to the post's parent, or if you're an editor, take it out.

  14. Re:Thank God! on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Modern medicine may just be a theory but I reckon it's statistically a better bet than relying on His strength. I dunno. The mind is better at stopping cancer than moderm medicine.

  15. Re:browser security check on Microsoft Not Worried about FireFox · · Score: 2, Informative

    Funny how this article comes up when the media just released information about a new virus. Phel uses IE to remotely control any version of windows, even windows xp sp2.

  16. Re:How will this affect Trolltech ??? on SCO Shares Plunge, Canopy Management Change · · Score: 1

    Hey, just like the patent system we all know and love :)

  18. Re:Trillian is nice, but gaim has cross platform s on Trillian 3.0 Released · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's good to emphasize that, although Trillian and GAIM are competitors, they share information with each other when things go awry. Whenever Yahoo! makes a change that screws up GAIM and Trillian, you can bet the devs on both sides will be helping each other out. Now that's a good proprietary/open source relationship.

  19. Re:Ill come back... on Trillian 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Trillian Pro lets you view html profiles via a plugin.

  20. Re:lasers! on Beating Roulette With Computers & Lasers · · Score: 1

    I wanted sharks with laser GUNS on their HEADS. Not sharks with lasers and computers!

  21. Re:GIMP on Windows vs Linux on The GIMP Gets Ready for 2.2 · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I use the window manager Enlightenment. Multiple virtual desktops...the perfect environment for the GIMP.
