  1. Re:Sure, but on The Grid, Our Cars, and the Net · · Score: 1

    Maybe instead of continuing to focus on the dinosaur that is the automobile, more effort should be put into building very a efficient mass transit infrastructure. Just a thought.

    There's error an in this post. Just an observation.

    P.S. I think you're right. If public transportation worked well, there wouldn't be any reason to regularly operate a motor vehicle.

  2. Re:Stability on Linux? on Firefox 3 RC1 Out Now · · Score: 1

    I did agree with your original post.

    I merely objected to the fact that it was in response to something about opera being closed source.

    The intention of my reply was to convey that I don't think opera fits into the category of software you were talking about.

    "People like you will always take your shots."
    People like me?

    Perhaps, then, your post would have been better placed somewhere else, and not as a response to "I would use Opera but I just can't bring myself to use a proprietary browser..."

    Somehow I think we can troll each other on the internets without name calling.

    You're right, but some feel that web browsing is not an "industry specific application that is highly tailored to a particular industry with no open source alternative."

  5. Re:Nice on Standard Web Fonts 'Updated' In Vista · · Score: 1

    KDE and Gnome both use XFT to render their fonts.

    There is no difference between their font rendering, other than configuration, which is completely up to the user in both cases.

    One could argue that one offers more GUI options than the other, but one can override anything that their GUI tools set.

    (I see that you mentioned defaults, but you did start off saying that you liked the font rendering in _KDE_.)

  6. Re:Inaccurate? Maybe if you misread it badly... on CBC News Interprets GPL - Poorly · · Score: 1

    If everyone did that, all comments to Zonk's articles would consist of "Fist!1".

  7. Re:SCO CEO McBride sold 7000 shares. on SCO Stock Continues Downward Spiral · · Score: 4, Funny

    It isn't really 32 bit colour; it's 24 bit colour with 8 bits reserved for an alpha channel. With the alpha channel applied to the 24 bits, it's still 24 bit colour.

    lol. gentoo.
