  1. Re:Don't get me wrong... on Knoppix 4.0 DVD - Like a Kid in a Candy Store · · Score: 1

    How can you take the CD out when you've booted Knoppix? It mounts the CD-ROM drive and locks it. I can't get the drive open without a paperclip when I'm in Knoppix...

  2. Our favorite company! on Google Adds Satellite Imagery for the World · · Score: 1
  3. I convert people to firefox because... on Converting Users to Open Source- Why Do You Care? · · Score: 1

    I want to support web standards. If more and more people start using firefox, webmasters are forced to create websites that work in all browsers.

  4. IR filter on Infrared Webcam HOWTO · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hmm, I opened my sweex webcam (the same he has) and unscrewed the lens. But my IR filter is round (so not a square as in his webcam) and won't come out.

  5. Re:I wonder what MS has stolen from firefox on IE7 Announced for Longhorn and WinXP · · Score: 1

    I think you don't understand. We are on Slashdot right now. Mozilla can steal tabbed browsing! Microsoft not. We don't like them.

  6. Thank Spain on EU Software Patent Law Moves Forward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm waiting for www.thankspain.info ...

  7. Re:I'm keeping my atari 2600 on Atari 2600 Mac Mod · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hardware doesn't get worth more over the years. I used to think that also. But hardware only gets worth less.

  8. What about spyware? on Running Windows Viruses Under Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    I run Windows spyware under Wine. I also emulate IE6 so I can use CoolWebSearch and other cool searchbars! I have this cute Bonzi Buddy and a system tray icon which tells me the weather!

  9. It Removes Internet Explorer! on Review of Microsoft's Anti-Spyware Tools · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Nothing New on Windows XP Starter Edition Review · · Score: 1

    You are right, OS/2 Warp 3 had it also.

  11. Max. 3 programs on Windows XP Starter Edition Review · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "The product can run three programs at a time. For those families, this is exactly what they want. That's a great experience for them." Right... exactly what they want. They want to run Explorer.exe, Internet Explorer, Outlook, Wor-- wait, close an application first! "One of the big criticisms about XP Starter Edition is that it can run just three applications simultaneously, so I was curious to see what it would do if you attempted to launch more than three. In this case, the system displays a notification window telling you that you can only run three applications. The notification roughly reads as, "With Windows XP Starter Edition, you can run three programs at a time. To open a new program, please save your work, close one open application, and open the new application again." Nice work! And I guess the 800x600 max resolution is also "exactly what they want". Bah.

  12. Re:Not very benificial on Anti-Santy Worm Patches phpBB Flaw · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    WTF? You are using MSN search insted of Google? Shame!

  13. Re:The main cpu is in the cartridge if I remember on Nintendo NES Overclocking Guide · · Score: 1

    I once read that the NES contains a Commodore 64 CPU (or something like that). That is why some other company made a NES clone that used the same cartridges.

  14. Re:A helpful holiday reminder... on Stable Linux Kernel 2.6.10 Released · · Score: 1

    I also think GRUB is a lot more advanced than LILO. I would use GRUB if I could, but it just won't run on some PC's, like mine. So I need to re-run lilo every time I compiled a new kernel :( My server does run GRUB, though.

  15. Re:Linux over 20 security patches released in 2 da on Four New Unpatched Windows Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    Dude, the list contains programs for Linux.

  16. Wrong name by The Inquirer on OpenOffice 2.0 Preview Release · · Score: 1

    I wonder why The Inquirer calls it OpenOffice ("OpenOffice Base - the open source suite's Access"). You shouldn't call OOo that way. OpenOffice is an other company, which has nothing to do with with OpenOffice.org.

  17. Re:Release notes on TheOpenCD 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    TheOpenCD sounds nice, the first thing I am gonna do is download and burn a couple CD's for classmates. But does this CD have an update function or something? I mean, after a month or something, most of the software will be out of date (eg, new versions available). What about that?

  18. Damn! on RIP Pentium II, 1997 - 2006 · · Score: 1

    Dammit, I was just going to buy a new Pentium II 266! Now I need to hurry.

  19. Re:Browser ID spoofing on Firefox Users Bad For Advertisers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ah, so you are one of the guys that screws up those browsers polls?

  20. Adblock!!!!!1 on Firefox Users Bad For Advertisers · · Score: 1

    I think the Adblock extension makes a lot of sense, since it is on the first place of the mozilla extensions site. I also use Adblock, and it blocks almost every ad (including those on /. ;-). Just enter "ad.*", that will block a lot of ads. I also think the most Internet Explorer users /are/ users that click on banners, or those annoying banners who are just like little windows.

  21. Re:What's so great about Windows? on Intel Helping Asia to Use Linux · · Score: 1

    What is it called then?
