  1. Re:I've heard him before on Windows Exec Doug Miller Responds · · Score: 1

    Perhaps he meant a bazaar setup.

  2. Re:How much easier does it have to get?? on Gartner Group Squints At Future OS Growth · · Score: 1

    'Round here, Joe doesn't install Windows stuff either. At least with a *n[i|u]x install, it doesn't take a visit to Joe's desk to install something.

  3. Re:Mars like Canada? on Could Mars Be Habitable In 100 Years? · · Score: 1

    Hey Toronto boy, the only place _I've_ seen +40 in Canada is in my toaster oven. And we do have moose wandering the urban streets.

  4. Re:Not really a problem on Red Hat Abandons Sparc · · Score: 1

    It won't annoy those purchasing old sparc stuff; we generally know our way about the mbus and can deal with installing an OS. Anyway, I find Redaht irritating. Now if Slack released a sparc version... WooHoo!

  5. Re:Evironmental and safty dangers of liquid N2? Ha on Are Nitrogen Powered Cars The Future? · · Score: 1
    Oh yeah, laugh it up, then read this.

    You'll get frostbite like you (and I've) never seen if you spill it on yourself or on objects in contact with you. Air has 20% oxygen; asphyxiation starts below 19.5%. You won't be parking in enclosed spaces.

  6. Re:Prices are so high! on States Sue Record Companies For Price Fixing · · Score: 1
    You mean someone's actually doing something about the fact that I have to pay $16 for a CD?
    Waitaminute! Y'all are paying $16 USD? We canucks are tossing $18-20 CDN. So, given the exchange (think, think, carry the one, ...) $18CDN ~ $12USD. Dunno if MAP's here as well, but I smell ripoff.
  7. Re:Fan Rights on Napster Aftermath: Fan Vs. Corporate Rights · · Score: 1

    Yipee!! The label I've been buying from for the last 2 years Naxos isn't a member! Alas, it's classical stuff. A bonus though: the cd's are all ~$9.00 CDN.

  8. Re:It seems to me... on The Hunkapiller Syndrome · · Score: 1

    Yikes! I first read this as 'how to inseminate the world' by Bill Gates

  9. Re:PETA's press release on Court Orders Owner Of Peta.org To Give Up Domain · · Score: 1

    Hmm, based on their list of registered names, petasucks.com should pass the bar.

  10. Re:Walnut Creek CDROMs on Software Packaging And The Environment? · · Score: 1

    Alas, even Walnut Creek does the box thingie. Slack 7 purchased at my friendly Computer Book Store was boxed up w an outdated book.

  11. Re:Jane Stewart on Canadian Gov't Keeps Detailed Citizen Database · · Score: 1

    Given the propensity of this Government (and Canadian government in general) to obfuscate the truth, and the recent history of this Minister in particular, I'm not at ease. Ms Stewart will say whatever her herders^H^H^H^H^H^H^advisors want.

  12. Re:Feature bloat in Perl on What's New in Perl 5.6.0 · · Score: 1

    Obfuscated? No. Well documented language features used as expected. I find your condensation clearer than the 1st.
