  1. Re:RMS is an idiot on Richard Stallman Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    open sores and freetard software have FAILED in the marketplace and have FAILED in the technology realm. ANyone who is anyone in tech uses OS X.

    While RMS might seem a bit wacky every now and then, we should remember that he speaks for many things that FOSS folk and Slashdot find important. Don't bite the helping hand.

    As far as I know, only 12.04 is officially supported.

    It works for Intel cards.

    Which netbook?

  5. Re:nvvsvc.exe on NVIDIA Releases Fix For Dangerous Display Driver Exploit · · Score: 1

    Isn't that functionality built in Windows instead of nvvsvc.exe?

    My branch prediction showed that you were going to post that comment.

  7. Re:RMS doesn't proprieatry games on Valve Reveals First Month of Steam Linux Gains · · Score: 1

    Many of the games available via Steam are proprietary software. Proprietary software, as Richard Stallman (peace be upon him) has reminded us time and time again, is immoral and thus wrong for society. Who knows what games could by spying on you and subverting your freedom?

    Yes, I cannot ultimately know what the software does. I just trust Steam and its partners and the game publishers to not bite me in the ass. That's enough for me.

  8. Re:Doesn't help that Steam client is poorly writte on Valve Reveals First Month of Steam Linux Gains · · Score: 2

    Well, Cubemen is a very nice tower defense game and should be fun for kids.

    There is also a Linux version of Team Fortress 2, which you might be interested about.

  9. Re:Why is nobody stating the obvious? on John McAfee Explains How He Milked Information From Belize's Elite · · Score: 0

    Yeah.

  10. Re:Please can we stop it with the John McAfee stor on John McAfee Explains How He Milked Information From Belize's Elite · · Score: 1

    Sure, why not. At least I want to see how this crazy story continues.

  11. Re:Possible alternative explanation on John McAfee Explains How He Milked Information From Belize's Elite · · Score: 1

    I also started to wonder if the stuff is fictional.

  12. Re:RTFM on Ask Slashdot: Keeping Your Media Library Safe From Kids? · · Score: 1

    Bottom line is when it takes longer to type the question on Slashdot than it does to find the answer in Google, you're not only doing it wrong, but you have no right calling yourself a nerd.

    Sometimes typing the question in Slashdot is better. The discussion that arises may give a more richer answer, and it's nice to debate about things.

  13. Re:older modems / routers are a isses as well and on Worldwide IPv6 Adoption: Where Do We Stand Today? · · Score: 1

    Then we replace the modems.

  14. Re:Still not working... on Worldwide IPv6 Adoption: Where Do We Stand Today? · · Score: 1

    At least Slashdot is very conservative what comes to technological improvements.

  15. Re:But on my computer... on Google Engineer Shows How To Forge Swords and Knives · · Score: 1

    I have never bothered to care much about the karma system of Slashdot. If an anon posts a good comment, I will mod it up, simple as that.

    really WTF I'm a Silversmith by formal training so can I have my own /. article?

    Absolutely!

    That was what I was talking about.

    The GP said that the users don't owe anything to Canonical, not the other way around.

    Give the man a break. He only copied and pasted from TFA.

    Hey, I'm not accusing him. I specifically pointed out that the problem is probably rather in the Slashdot engine.

  23. Re:sounds cool to bad it's not college = useless t on Raspberry Pi Gets an Open Source Educational Manual · · Score: 1

    Speaking of which, I very rarely get mod points these days. Back in, say, 2005, I could get a bunch in every 2 weeks, now it's like 8 weeks.

    It could be though that the pool of active users within which the points are distributed is now much larger.

    Maybe /. does not allow those. For a change someone tried to use real quote characters instead of the inch symbol.
