  1. Re:No they don't on Apple Suit Demands That Psystar Recall OpenMacs · · Score: 1

    The difference between firefox and IE is that microsoft has integrated IE so tightly into the system that you almost have NO choice but to use it in some capacity. On linux, you have a choice for your system file browser, on windows, until you hunt down a new one and tweak your system hardcore-style, you have no choice.

  2. Re:Lame on Apple Suit Demands That Psystar Recall OpenMacs · · Score: 1

    your argument is void, as microsoft's empire is built upon the fact that they run on most commodity hardware.

    Yes, that applies to resale; that has nothing to do with the part of the EULA about apple branded hardware. nothing.

    First off LG sucks. Second, it's their OS, they *do* have a legal right to decide what hardware their creation will be allowed to run on.*

    *as long as it is contained in the EULA.

    Exactly. By leaving the poor, the desolate, the hungry to die, we are negating all advances made by society.

    Let it never be said that your anal-retentive attention to detail never yielded positive results!

    Yeah, those things are almost always scams. Not saying you're stupid, just putting it out there for all the people who don't know.

    no more kinky sex stuff on usenet :\ That's the only good part of it, too.

  9. Re:Does it matter on ISO Recommends Denying OOXML Appeals · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Perhaps it's because so many of the processes used in this were used improperly (such as fast tracking) or subverted entirely (ignoring appeals, allowing microsoft shills to be on the boards voting for ratification). What really gets me is the line about "All these appeals, despite how much merit they have, are being ignored by us. Suck it."

  10. Re:Just plain sad on Nasa Details Shuttle's Retirement · · Score: 1

    But the cost of iraq has nothing to do with nasa, i.e. they have no control over how much/how long we are in iraq. blame bush for making a pointless war a higher priority than the advancement of the human race.

  11. Re:Year Of the Linux Desktop on Linux For Housewives. XP For Geeks. · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Even as little as a little under 2 years ago, the wireless situation on Linux was terrible. Now, we have drivers for nearly all popular chipsets, encryption. Now, if we could just get all the damn extra buttons on my lappy to work...

    Yes, but catching those derned ter'rists is WAY more important than science, education, helping people get off welfare, or anything else that money could possibly be used for. Ten billion a month, and all we get is death and destruction.

    if her mother is russian, it could simply be that she doesn't 'get' tenses. I know an indian woman, a very highly educated woman, who can barely get the phrase "pick you up" right.

  14. Re:Too bad. on KDE 4.1 Beta 2 – Two Steps Forward, One Step Back? · · Score: 1

    No. This has been discussed before. A good interface isn't necessarily one where a newbie can just sit down and know what's going on. It's more a "does it make sense" proposition.

  15. Re:Nooo! on Dial-Up Users "Don't Want Broadband" · · Score: 1

    Seriously? No. I think having (especially ill-configured) dial-up could make you MORE prone to attacks. I don't know about now, but wasn't it possible to dial directly into someone's machine if they had a modem? That sounds pretty bad, you know.

    I get the feeling you didn't quite understand. When they say "Changing the book every semester" they specifically mean the professors who wrote their own books.
