  1. Works fine for me on Some Early Adopters Stung By Ubuntu's Karmic Koala · · Score: 1

    I've had zero problems....none at all. Everything is working perfectly.

    I even gave gnome-shell a try and I love it. It's not ready for prime time, but I haven't gone back.

    Empathy sucks balls though....when it doesn't crash.

  2. Re:interesting theory on Proposal to Update the Electoral College · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I eat EVERY day....and only vote once every two. If I had to choose, I'd rather stand in an unreasonably long line to vote than to get bread or soap. :)

  3. Scalix on Linux Desktop Email Key to Success · · Score: 2, Informative

    It appears Scalix offers all of this. Anybody have any experience with it?

  4. Re:Slashdot spin spin spin spin spin on How Microsoft Takes a Name · · Score: 1

    MS does not own the trademark to "Windows". Therefore, they were not legally entitled to the name. They misrepresented their ownership in order to aquire the "Windows Defender" name.

  5. Re:this is obviously crap on A Complete Map To Springfield · · Score: 1

    Your quote is wrong.

    First you get the sugar. Then you get the power. Then you get the women.

  6. Re:Audi Performance and Racing? You're joking! on Is Hacking Cars a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like someone's living in the past. I'll give you one example of a modern performance car: the Mitsubishi Evolution. Read up on it. 0-6 under 5 seconds. 0-100 in 11.1. 1/4 mile in 13.1 and it's AWD with active yaw control and steering/cornering like it's on rails. All from a car with close to 1/3 the displacement of your Chevelle. Don't get me wrong, I know Chevelles are nice (a friend of mine at work has one with over 550HP...he's even talking about TT'ing), but even he admits the thing's only good for a straight line. Heaven forbid the skies open up and it rains when you have it out on the road.

    Remember: "The mind must be wide open to function freely in thought. A limited mind cannot think freely." - Bruce Lee ;-)

  7. Re:Evolution on Is Hacking Cars a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about DSMs! We now have the world's first AWD, first unibody in the 8s!. One of our RWD converts is in the 7s. Not bad for a little 4 banger.

  8. Re:Evolution on Is Hacking Cars a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 1

    I love that statement...."V8 power". Please. Not every 4 banger out there is a Honda. "There's no replacement for displacement" makes me laugh when the V8 guys are talking...of course they won't talk trash like that to someone with a bigger engine. I don't have to make up for some macho inadequacy by buying big, inefficient technology. I'll take my (modded) 350HP turbocharged inline 4 DSM any day over a V8, because I still get 30mpg. You should see the look on those LS1 drivers faces as I pull on them in my "rice rocket"...it's priceless.

  9. Re:500,000 users overly optimistic? on Interview with Miguel de Icaza · · Score: 1

    He did say the main site and there are plenty of sites that mirror the installation....so this could be right.

  10. Re:Do I really want Linux running my car? on Linux Announcement from Sony, Toshiba, NEC, Fujitsu · · Score: 1

    I can't think of anything better to power my turbocharged Mitsubishi Eclipse than TurboLinux :-)

  11. typos in the press release on Enlightenment 0.16.0 Release · · Score: 1

    Not to nitpick because I really like E and all, but there were a lot of typos. I wasn't going to say anything but this one crossed the line:

    All companies and trademarks are copyright by their respecitve owners. Linux is a trademark of Linux torvalds.

    I mean, come on guys...that just doesn't look good at all.

  12. Try Downloader for X on FTP Client Recommendations? · · Score: 2

    from Freshmeat.net:

    Downloader for X is a tool for downloading files from the Internet via both HTTP and FTP with a powerful but userfriendly interface. It supports reconnecting and resuming on connection timeouts, has a download queue for multiple files, support for simultaneous downloads, and many other features for powerful downloading

    I've used it and I like it. It's a lot like GetRight and Gozilla. link.
