  1. Re:Huh? on Texas Support for Open Source Technology Education · · Score: 1

    What do you think they do in elementary schools? They teach us 'this is the ONLY way to do something! WHY? because I SAID so!'

    It's a completely optional course, most likely -- it's not indoctrination if you sign up for the class.

  2. Re:same old on Office 12 to Include Native PDF Support · · Score: 1

    OpenOffice, if i remember correctly, has had PDF support for a while now. I've never tested it, but it's there.

  3. Well on 20 Million Year Old Spider Found · · Score: 1

    As an arachnophobe, i really don't wanna think about this. -giant spiders attacking everyone!-

  4. Denemo on Converting a Musical Score to a Playable Melody? · · Score: 1

    Denemo is decent, too. Simple to use and has quite a few features, including playback, which i'm not sure is fully working.

  5. Re:can't eat just one on What's Your Command Line Judo? · · Score: 1

    I would like to think that they know about ntfs... aren't they the ones who created it?

  6. Re:To hack or not to hack, that is the question! on Hacking - Art or Science? · · Score: 1

    Science is completely objective -- it's either right or wrong.

  7. Re:Burn out at work is not always work related! on Pay vs. Happiness · · Score: 1

    Hey I make a (whopping) 80 dollars a month. (at 16) I've been putting 40 dollars a month into savings for 2 years now (it's about to go down to 24 because the money's for my car insurance and i have enough for a good chunk of time) I never wanted an iPod -- just too expensive for what you're getting. When i built my computer, i specifically bought inexpensive parts -- good, but not the top of the line stuff. I don't have a home theater. Closest I have is my computer (which cost me ~300 to build and it's pretty good) I use my computer for everything -- who needs a huge stereo when any linux media player can do what i need? And even with 50 percent of my income going into savings, i could still get what i wanted in a reasonable amount of time.

  8. Re:When will people learn? on iPod nano Owners In Screen Scratch Trauma · · Score: 1

    Go buy some of those screen protectors for pda's and cut it to size - yeah, it's a pain in the ass, but it protects the screen. Just replace the screen cover every so often and you're set.

  9. Pb! on Electrical Shielding for the Homeowner? · · Score: 1, Funny

    And not peanut butter, either. Lead!!

  10. Re:Hot Coffee? on Review: Sims 2 Nightlife · · Score: 1

    Hm. I think i'm a level 4 fatass. Your mom is probably a MUCH higher level though.

  11. Re:Any Relation to the News Site? on State of the Onion 9 · · Score: 1

    That was SO bad...

  12. Hey on Preference Engines Side-Effects in Online Retail · · Score: 1

    It increases sales! Who gives a damn about society!!!

  13. The question is on Building an Open Source "Clicker"? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How much do you know about hardware and software? If you're good with one, get somebody who's good with the other to help you out. And make it run on ANY system (windows, linux, mac)

  14. Re:Aaaarrrgghh... on How to Approach Customers with Security Issues? · · Score: 1, Informative

    Kitten! Yay!
    I wish i had a cat... that walked all over MY keyboard... but nO! my parents won't get a cat!

  15. Re:as opposed to the NetFlix project? on Peerflix Launches P2P DVD Sharing Service · · Score: 1

    Indeed it is! Why? because free = 'bad for the artists' (actors, musicians, etc)

  16. Re:As a mother of three I'm offended on Cursing as Peephole Into Brain Architecture · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You fucking bitch. YOu obviously don't pay a single fucking bit of attention here. There's a fucking random quote at the bottom of the damned page, and it's changed every fucking day, so just so fuck yourself you fucking bitch.

  17. Re:I thought Linus was supposed to be free? on Birth of the Pilot PDA · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    May I I congratulate your shitty grammar?

    Anyone who can't speak proper english cannot claim to be successful.

  18. Re:How to tell if you are a linux fanatic. on Birth of the Pilot PDA · · Score: 1

    You're right -- we can't admit most of that stuff -- because it's WRONG 8. You cannot admit that you are a masochist (otherwise why would someone spend hours playing with scripts, and recompiling programs that are available for Windows?) I don't have to compile programs most of the time. 11. You cannot admit that linux sucks when it comes for gaming/home entertainment or education. 1 word for you -- MythTV 20. You don't have DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW support in your pathetic OS. Yes, there is. Really -- I've USED IT so fuck off. 17. You feel inferior deep inside but unable to admit it, you don't have a database as easy and powerful as Access. Since when was ACCESS powerful?

  19. Wait a minute on Open Source Code Finds Way into Microsoft Release · · Score: 5, Funny

    Isn't microsoft always saying that open-source software is OBVIOUSLY inferior?

  20. Re:Next... on RIAA Says P2P Encourages Illegal Downloads · · Score: 1

    WOn't do much good. There's actual buttons under them, so you'll still be able to use them.

  21. Hey on RIAA Says P2P Encourages Illegal Downloads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not the availibility of P2P that makes me download music. It's the fact that I CANNOT find good music in ANY store around here.
    MAKE Music not SHIT

  22. Hey on Creating an Electronic Data Interchange System? · · Score: 1

    1)
    Do you really need RFID that badly? It's pipe, for god's sake
    2)
    What the HELL are you talking about? Like, stuff used to control machines or what?

  23. Really on Best Cross-Distro Installation Tools for Linux? · · Score: 1

    Go with autopackage -- it seems to be pretty easy to use, and it runs on everything.

  24. Re:No Software is Perfect on Is The Firefox Honeymoon Over? · · Score: 1, Informative

    I don't recall anyone ever saying firefox was defect free. All i recall is people saying it's BETTER -- there's a difference between 'better' and 'defect-free'.

  25. Re:Upon closer examination on The Return of Saturn's Spokes · · Score: 1

    Vrrrrooooooooooooooom! I think that these spokes spin a bit faster thought
