  1. Re:No mention of the load times? on Review: Jade Empire · · Score: 0

    In Korea only old people with X-boxes have long load times.

    If you play a modern game on a PC with a modified GeForce3, a slow old Celeron, 64M of cheap RAM (running Windows), and a tiny, slow HDD, you can expect some...delays.

  2. Re:So when... on Microsoft States Full TCP/IP Too Dangerous · · Score: 0

    "8K ought to be enough for anyone." -- His Billness

  3. mp3, anyone? on Microsoft to Introduce PDF competitor 'Metro' · · Score: 0

    I smell a Fraunhofer...

  4. Re:Please!! on Branden Robinson Lays Down the Law at Debian · · Score: 1

    Perhaps ironic, that Debian's versions are named after characters in a movie of long, long ago.

  5. Re:Looks as expected on FCC Pics of the IBM ThinkPad X41 Tablet PC · · Score: 0, Troll

    Now, I bet you would love to stimulate that nipple if it were on a penguin.

  6. Quantum computing is a fad/here to stay on Tiny Holes Advance Quantum Computing · · Score: 1

    It will fade out/grow bigger over time and nobody will care/deny its greatness. What a bunch of maroons/geniuses!

  7. Re:Insightful? What complete bollocks! on Stewart Brand on 'Environmental Heresies' · · Score: 1

    Hear, hear. If only these countries had oil, we could invade them and install a stable democracy for them. Instead, they have to resort to running away from free vaccinations on the fear of "koro" and the White Man's Genocide.

  8. Re:Not going to happen for a long, LONG time... on Petition To Get OS/2 Open Source · · Score: 1

    Yeah, a Linux ATM would just segfault, coredump, reboot from a ramdisk, and keep on chugging.

  9. Re:The saddest part for me... on Space Station Crew Lands Safely In Kazakhstan · · Score: 1, Insightful

    When they clear the aura of fear living in a world of terrorism, felons, druggies, people with dark skin, and people who do not accept Jesus as their personal savior and GW as His chosen one.

  10. Re:Ummm on $10B Annual Tab for Spreadsheet Errors? · · Score: 0

    The real question is how many of these errors are on unlicensed copies of Excel, and how much money Microsoft is losing as a result. I estimate about $15 billion. The obvious solution is to ensure 100% licensing compliance.

  11. Re:I don't mind the occasional dupes but on Hibernation on Demand · · Score: 0

    I second that.

  12. Re:Well, funny and all but..... on Email Worse Than Marijuana For Intelligence? · · Score: 0

    Congratulations, he's becoming a Slashdot poster...

  13. Re:MySQL's New Slogan on Reports from the MySQL Users Conference · · Score: 0

    How about "Almost Free!"

    You don't need a commercial license for PostgreSQL or Firebird...and if you are doing anything but serving web content, MySQL is nigh worthless anyway.

  14. Re:The Name on RAM Manufacturers Fined for Price Fixing · · Score: 0

    Hie thee unto an aulde Englishe lexicon anonce, verily and alle thate...

  15. Re:You say array access, I say function invocation on The Best of Verity Stob · · Score: 0

    Ada had a similar problem. 'Nuff said.

  16. Open Sourcing is the salvation of a corporation... on A Comprehensive Look at Solaris 10 · · Score: 0

    ...just ask Netscape.

  17. Re:Proof Positive on EU Trade Commissioner Enjoyed MS Hospitality · · Score: 0

    Yeah, but at least Canadian ones have the decency to apologize for it.

  18. Re:It's quite simple really: on OpenOffice vs. MS Office for Education? · · Score: 1, Funny

    It's quite simple really--I had a discussion with the parents recently (who teach in junior colleges), touting Firefox in education, and the response? "Why force people to learn a non-standard browser? The menu options are all different, etc... You have to download extensions to make it act like IE!"

    My opinion: If you are too stupid to adapt from IE to Firefox, you don't need a computer, you need a plow harness.

  19. Re:Depends... on Spyware or Researchware? · · Score: 0

    Malware is malware...don't prevaricate in the face of evil.

  20. Re:Just a tad misleading... on Concert to be Performed from Beyond the Grave · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Next step--algorithmically extracting nuance templates to make AI piano players that sound as good as a human but are technically superior (and cheaper to book). The problem is that we'll all get sick of people running the Rachmaninov filter on "Kitten on the Keys", "Chopsticks", etc.

  21. Re:My own private army... on New Bill Would Ban Public NOAA Weather Data · · Score: 0

    I love it...privatize the military. Dang lazy soldiers have free medical, dental, room and board. Plus we all know mercs get the job done better, and with better action sequences and dialog, too.

  22. Re:In a democracy/republic on Open Source Methods Useful Way Beyond Software · · Score: 0

    Well, then, I fork the laws of the USA, and introduce GNUSA. My emphasis on this distribution is "liteness" and user friendliness. Currently accepting applications for maintainers; must provide own rifle.

  23. Wrong, my friend on More on IBM's Project Monterey and SCO · · Score: 2, Funny
    There is a line of SCO code in the Linux kernel, which is clearly in violation. I reproduce it here at risk to life and limb:

    Case closed.
  24. Re:In other news ... on AMD Dual-Core Performance Revealed · · Score: 0

    So? Who the hell buys Dell? A "server" from what I can tell is just an otherwise stripped PC with lots of ECC RAM, a hot-swappable power supply, tape backup, and SCSI RAID (optional). Can't you put these components together yourself and save the $5K surcharge?

  25. Re:I want to move! on Software Patents Stopped in India · · Score: 0

    You love Indian food? That and the climate are the big reasons I wouldn't move in a million years.
