  1. Re:Linux programming may be a "boy's" world... on A Look at the Compiz and Beryl Merger · · Score: 1

    Not really. I heard no comments about who looked fat in that outfit KDE/Vista is so bloated!

    and who was going out with *that* guy. FreeBSD will run on anything!
  2. Re:Boot up speed? on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn - Desktop Linux Matured · · Score: 1

    To be fair to Microsoft, I have Ubuntu running on a quantum computer (a Beowulf cluster of quantum processors, more precisely), so it regularly performs tasks before I ask it to. The problem is that whenever I look at the screen the quantum state collapses, which is making it really hard to surf pr0n. Unless, of course, you are aroused by collapsing quantum states. Many on this website seem to be.

    Both 'algebra' and 'algorithm' are derived from Arabic words. Also, we inherited out left-to-right number system from Arabian math.

    There's a reason Desktop Publising is usually abbreviated DTP.

  7. Re:I gotta agree on Boston Globe to Blogger — "Stop Using Opera" · · Score: 1

    That's your choice of course, just be aware that the consequence is that some people may object to your language by modding you flamebait, making you perhaps less effective than you want to be (and since you were posting valid points in defense of Opera, you were also less effective than I wanted you to be).

  8. Re:I gotta agree on Boston Globe to Blogger — "Stop Using Opera" · · Score: 1

    I suspect the problem lies in your name-calling. Omit the "idiot" and "asshole" from your posts, and it's easier to see that you are, in fact, right. To your consolation, your post appeared as +2, flamebait to me.

  9. Re:Reward for Open Source? on Thai IT Minister Slams Open Source · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually I'm not saying it's secret. I was underlining the importance of open knowledge.
    But you're missing the point of journals. It's not about saying "I've been published". It's all about peer-review! That's why this level of organization is necessary. Without peer-review, science is nothing.

  10. Re:Reward for Open Source? on Thai IT Minister Slams Open Source · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Unfortunately, not many scientists publish in journals everyone can read. Most journals require hefty fees. Not that the scientists get rich, of course. Some journals even ask for a submission fee.

    Pandas! Huge, slow, will only eat certain rare foods, don't like members of the opposite sex around. They should've died ages ago. Yet they're strangely still around. They may look like bears...

  13. Re:Think of the children! on Harvard Phd Vs. About.com over Gaming · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm not so sure about that. Did you see the art on the side of that arcade machine in the link you provided? That's some scary shit. In fact, I thought it was pretty violent. I looked at the side of the machine for about a minute, and it was violent the entire minute! 100% violent!

    I wonder of Gates knows what giving feels like.

    I sure hope this is a joke. But without proper moderation... Who can tell?

  15. Re:That's great and all, but... on Growing Insulin · · Score: 1

    What you are missing is that you need to take immunosuppressants all your life for not rejecting the new pancreas. As a result, the probability of your immune system attacking these cells is small. But instead of injecting insulin, you are now taking immunosuppressants.

  16. Re:Since we're off on a tangent anyway on Open Source Malware Search Engine · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've got in the habit now when reading slashdot of if I can't understand a post, reading it as if i was speaking it (but silently of course).

    I'm trying to read this sentence as if you were speaking it. And you sound sort of silly.

  17. Re:Linux on desktops? on Tom's Hardware Reviews ATI and Nvidia on Linux · · Score: 1

    I look forward to saving 10 to 20 hours setting up my OS. I look forward to my applications and drivers working properly out of the box. I look forward to getting professional support and service instead of posting online in a Linux forum to ask for help from condescending 16-year-olds with all the answers who tell the neophytes to STFU and RTFM.

    Have you tried setting up Ubuntu lately? The concept of using a liveCD to install is brilliant. Setting up a functioning Linux computer including office, internet tools and many other things is much less work than setting up Windows. No driver-hunting (you say out of the box, but which box?), no third-party websites, no endless reboots when fully updating. It's really only 30 minutes for a fully functional, fully updated computer. In all fairness, I run Gentoo (to appeal to women, mostly), which has all the problems you mention. But that's exactly the point: there's choice.

  19. Re:Long filename horror story on Linux/Mac/Windows File Name Friction · · Score: 1

    Even though others apparently claim you're joking, I personally am all for gratuitous words in file names. Some times I achieve this by gratitously deep folder heirarchies, but usually I just randomly add keywords to files. I mostly use a GUI, so it doesn't stress me out too much, but makes it much easier to find them two years later.

    Like "gratuitious"?

  21. Re:the preview version is missing images? on Slashdot CSS Redesign Winner Announced · · Score: 1

    I was quite disappointed when I saw the design as intended. I liked the design with the straight corners much better. It actually looked much more professional and less like all those other sites out there (digg.com comes to mind).

  22. Re:Opportunity! on Spy Sweeper, the Next Netscape? · · Score: 1

    You may be right, but then how does Defender know that monitoring isn't with the user's knowledge? Which may be related to an more philosophical question of what spyware actually is. I hate stuff that stays in the tray for example. Real was making such sucky software that never seemd to really go away and talk about updates continuously. Apparently it's phoning home.
