  1. Re:Look Around on Can Open Source and Commercial Software Coexist? · · Score: 1

    It'd be neat to see like Microsoft offering Openoffice with their windows, and say "if you like this, you might like microft office" or whatever. Just some food for thought.

  2. Re:Let's make really important issues moral ones! on Hillary, GTA, and High School Football · · Score: 1

    In my opinion, and I learned video games this way too, the parent should teach the child that it's all fake and none of it is real. I bet those kids who actually do kill sort of confuse games with reality and in that sense sort of don't know what is "right", if you will.

  3. Re:Very Nice Article on Hillary, GTA, and High School Football · · Score: 1

    Indeed, it probably would. It also provides a little entertainment for those with an interesting sense of humor. Like watching someone's head get shot off or blown to bits is pretty damn funny to me, yet in real life, I'd be a bit mortified.

  4. Re:A GUI version of FreeBSD with easy installer on Why FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    Dude, X is Linux's window system, at least for most distro's. KDE is just a way of doing X for linux. And since you're using BSD, I dunno if X is used. As far as security, as the others say it's no vulnerability.

  5. Re:Yes!!! on Butterfly Unlocks Evolution Secret · · Score: 1

    Well, IMHO science means anything is possible unless you disprove it. If it hasn't been proven or disproven and it sounds reasonable (not like the moon is made of cheese or anything along those lines), it's pretty much a guess, if you will. I like to keep an open mind, so even religions are possible. Disclaimer: I'm athiest

  6. Re:Perfect Name! on Windows Vista Faces Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    That's it! Asta la Vista is perfect for their name, considering the spanish translation of that is "shaft the view". I think that accurately describes what windoze will do to your compy.

  7. Re:Just because he went to Google on Google and Microsoft Lob More Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it should be. I mean, if you quit your job and can't work another job in the same career for x months, how the hell are you going to pay the bills? Fast food doesn't pay you enough.

  8. Re:I kind of agree on Microsoft Continues Anti-OSS Strategy · · Score: 1

    Like 95% of the /.ers here, I lean toward Linux more than any other OS. I know this is sort of off topic here, but I can't figure out a good distro for playing my games, and good with my ATI 9600XT. Any suggestions?

  9. Educating the customer a small bit on Setting the Bar for Customer Service? · · Score: 1

    In my years of freelancing PC repair, I've found that the customers are more satisfied in knowing exactly what I'm doing. I sort of explain things in their terms a bit.

  10. I think I speak for most here when I say on Vigilante Hackers use Old West Tactics for Justice · · Score: 1

    It's about time.

  11. Their "profit losses", if any would be small. on Publishers Protest Google Library Project · · Score: 1

    What I'm saying here is, think about the percentage of people in the world who can actually use a computer competently. I'm pretty sure, like said among the other comments, that most of the world will continue to buy these books regardless.

  12. Re:The Schools are the PROBLEM!! on Eat Right, Earn an iPod · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is true. Back in my middle school days, almost everyone hated P.E. Except for those who were already in sports like basketball and whatever. This is why we need to think up funner ways to exercise than just making the kids run around the track or college style wrestle until they fall over. I mean, is it that hard to see that the kids aren't having any fun?

  13. Re:Its Simple. on Eat Right, Earn an iPod · · Score: 1

    I see what you're saying here, but maybe we shouldn't force healthy foods down the kids' throats, man. I'm pretty sure that the schools would loose a signifigant amount of revenue when getting rid of the pop machines, too.

  14. Just think... on A Pistol Mouse for Your Fragging Pleasure · · Score: 1

    ...you will now be able to shoot at your computer harmlessly when angry. Sorta sounds like fun.
