    Yes, Samba is good but it has taken decades to get that way! Any I wouldn't say that it "just works" either. You need to configure the ~300 line /etc/smb.conf file.

  7. Re:In a way I agree on Firefox Lead Engineer Scolds KDE Project · · Score: 1

    They go together. I think it shows if a app is nicely written then often the user experience is nicer. For example you get more meaningfull error messages, it doesn't crash when it encounters unexpected situations.

    Having the nice foundation (BSD) is part of what makes OS X for the user.

  8. Hackable on Windows XP Starter Edition Snubs P4, Athlon · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a fun thing to try to disable.
    Also pretty easy since you can search for the
    instruction in question.

    Are they using OGG or their own codec?
    (I recall stories about them developing one)

    You don't become the richest man in the world by writing a lot of checks!

  11. "built-in memory" - wow! on Indian Company Shows Off Sub-$200 Laptop · · Score: 3, Funny

    One article says it has "built-in memory".
    Now that's something! What's next? Computer
    with CPUs and keyboards!

  12. I have this release install now on Fedora Core 4 Test 3 Available · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Tell me this... on Kansas Challenges Definition of Science · · Score: 1
    > In short, God can be un-caused, but nature can't be.

    Lots of words but you don't really explain anything.

    Who created god?
    How about this explaination:
    create_god()
    {
    if (geteuid() != 0)
    {
    printf("sorry you must be god to create god\n");
    exit(1);
    }

    create_god();
    }

    It has Altitude restrictions:

    Altitude -300 meters to +3000 meters

    I've never seen that before.
    So you cann't use it on a plane.
  19. Longhorn search on The Future of Databases · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Isn't Longhorn supposed to have some "amazing" fuzzy logic search in it (that by the way is much better than Google Desktop search). Did I mention that I won a Turning award...blah blah blah.

    No, I wasn't trying to slight either party.

  22. Trusted by whom on Google to use TrustRank for News, Possibly More · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Reblicans trust The Free Republic but distrust The Nation.
    Democrates are exactly the opposite. What should TrustRank do about that? I don't see any way to reconcile stuff like that.

  23. New York Times on Google to use TrustRank for News, Possibly More · · Score: 1

    Well, the New York Times is one of the most trusted publications in the country. Oh, wait it isn't any more.
