  1. Re:Cedega will never get my money. on Cedega 5.0 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That, and they're profiting from work done by the Wine developers without giving anything back. Let the flames burn strong..

  2. Re:This is old news.. on New VAIOs Made of Carbon Fiber · · Score: 1

    Nevermind, that's still just the model number of the laptop. Either way, I like the CPU.

  3. Re:This is old news.. on New VAIOs Made of Carbon Fiber · · Score: 1

    Well, it does have a Turion 64 4000+ in it, no? Plus, I believe it weighs less than the not widescreen Ferrari 3400.. very nice model indeed

  5. Re:My complaint about Wikipedia... on Nitpicking Wikipedia's Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    It's rather funny that you not only bring up the find bar in this way, but also have managed to get it working on Wikipedia, since you can bring up the find bar in one keystroke by pressing forward slash (/). If you only want to include hyperlinks in your search, you can press single quote ('). Perhaps, for some reason, you knew about this and choose not to use the find bar through those two keys, but otherwise, I hope I've helped you out.

  6. Offtopic on Innovation Getting Slower? · · Score: -1, Offtopic
  7. Re:Ready for the spin... on Microsoft to Share 'Spare' Tech with Startups · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well, they're not sharing it so much as selling it to them through either royalties or partial ownership. So I think it's safe to say they aren't actually being benevolent, nor is this even that newsworthy. ..come to think of it, this has been happening on /. a lot lately. That and the constantly biased blurbs, I mean, I'm not taking sides with anything, but is it that hard to write from a neutral POV?

  8. Re:a 'personalities' / themes plug-in for GIMP? on Hack turns GIMP into Photoshop Look-alike · · Score: 1

    There's a difference between asking and bitching. I seem to remember you starting your request with "no, I won't help you". Every post you've made regarding gimpshop has been dripping with contempt. Don't expect anyone to respond well to unfriendly comments, because normally, people don't. Don't blame him for supposedly branching your code, the reason people want to contribute to a branch rather than the original is because they feel that you don't care about what other people think.

    If it's really that easy to change the menu hierarchies, surely you can rewrite a similar modification for GIMP in the proper way, and integrate it with the main code. Just because GIMPshop was the first to do what it did doesn't mean you can't do it also. Clearly there is a demand for this modification though, and if you want to get it under control, you're going to have to devote some time to work with the author of it, or worst come to worst, implement similar functionality on your own. However, if you keep showing such a controlling, indignant attitude, you'll continue to alienate would-be contributors.
