    "I'm not sure this floor is entirely stable."

  2. Re:Program Naming on First Impressions of Sabayon Linux · · Score: 3, Informative

    Kubuntu at least means something also. Wikipedia says it means "towards humanity" or something like that.

  3. Easy. on Combating Harassing Use of Mosquito Noise Device? · · Score: 1

    Turn it off. Mosquitos come, I believe that qualifies as "combating".

    Mods, it's insightful, not funny.

    Bang it harder for -la, I suppose?

  12. What? on Knock Some Commands Into Your Laptop · · Score: 3, Funny

    Typing ls was too much for people?

  13. Re:It seems to me that all the hardware on Could Graphics Drivers be Included on the Card? · · Score: 1

    It'd work under the API level, directly at the hardware level. Other than that, the main difference is the executable format--again, since this is under the OS, not a problem.

  14. Re:Darn, I was looking for a source-based install on Inside Vista's Image-Based Install Process · · Score: 1

    According to the Microserf next door, Vista takes 2 weeks to install on their compile cluster. So that must be some nice PC you have there.

    They already attend **AA meetings.

  16. GNAA--Troll or Funny? on Legal DVD Burnable Downloads Launched · · Score: 1, Funny

    No System.Windows.Forms either.

  18. Re:More proof as to who is "helped" by copyright on ' Naughty Bits' Decision Not So Nice · · Score: 1

    The services are irrelevant. What he's saying is that you can't set up your own DMV. With no accountability through competition (what will they do if we're too slow? stop us?), you're stuck with bad service. With the grocery store, they could go elsewhere, and you lose all your business.

  22. Re:it's all fine until a bomb goes off on The U.S.'s Net Wide For 'Terrorist' Names · · Score: 1

    But the "religious right" also pick and choose what they want to follow. Ask them if they love their neighbor. Ask them if they forgive those who sin/debt against them, as they probably say every day in their Churchian Lord's Prayer. Bush is not a Christian, but one who says so to get more votes.

  23. It's over the Internet. on Does It Matter Where Open Source is Based? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't think, with the Internet, that it really matters where OSS is based. Torvalds seems to be doing fine from Portland, and is mostly used in the US now. I don't think most Ubuntu desktop users even know that it was originally written in Finland.

    the bill of rights is not a suicide pact, nor are those rights absolutes.

    Instead of quoting Franklin, as some people have done here, I will instead argue this point. When the founders of this country came here, they knew their security was in jeopardy. They knew Britain was going to attack us. But did that stop them? No. They said, "everyone here has these rights, and we will not bend over for our oppressors." So standing for liberty, not simply tossing it at any opportune time to help our security, is what this country actually stands for.

    By the way, let's crack down on murder instead of terrorism, since it's killed a hell of a lot more people.

  25. Re:A standard tab length would be easier on Elastic Tabstops — An End to Tabs vs. Spaces? · · Score: 0
    But neither of them have a mode where keystrokes correspond to keywords.

    Wouldn't it be nice to type:

    #i<stdio.h>

    imain(nArgs,pszArgs){printf("Hello, World!\n");r0;}
    and get the full Hello World program, with variables correct based on prefix and everything else working as it should?
