  1. Re:What RMS really means with GNU/Linux is... on LinuxDevCenter Interviews RMS · · Score: 1

    I don't, and RMS doesn't too. So what? You have Linux as a free kernel. What's the point? Do you plan to run an OS with just the kernel, and without applications? Duh.

  2. What RMS really means with GNU/Linux is... on LinuxDevCenter Interviews RMS · · Score: 3, Informative

    ...just what he has explained one thousand times in everyone of his conferences.

    Quoting and interview by Federico Biancuzzi:

    FB: Today Linux is just a kernel, so you still have direct control over other parts of the OS. That's why the name GNU/Linux for the complete OS.

    RMS: That isn't what the name GNU/Linux means; it has nothing to do with that. The name GNU/Linux means that the system started out as GNU, with Linux added.

    Nowadays, the system includes thousands of packages developed by thousands of developers, but at the base it is still GNU with Linux added.

  3. Nobody thinks about the /. victim on Gingerbread Computers! · · Score: 1

    Really, are the moderators who passed the bread news on portrait in spiritual peace with themselves after what they have done? Don't you think it would be better to call up the victim previously to the /.ing? (So he can cancel the host provider contract, or get charged for 10000x your usual bandwidth).

    I don't know what the joke is about for slashdotting their bread server and turning their phone line into butter.

  4. Radio Tuner on Latest "iPod Killer" Takes Aim at the Mini · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I really like the FM (and AM likely too) tuner feature. I haven't bought and iPod because of its lack on it.

    Listening to music is fun and pleasant, but sometimes people want to hear something with less lyric and more up to date content (as for example the news).

  5. Pick the Moral as you want (aka hypocrisiy) on Reason Interviews Michael Powell · · Score: 2, Funny

    Take and American glamour periodical paper. What is that you don't see? Tits. Now take any glamour paper from Europe. What do you see? Tits. So that's the difference. And now, do Americans _really_ see fewer tits than Europeans? I wouldn't put in on paper...
