  1. Linux on Calculating the True Worth of Software · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "Many people also understand that software without support...loses much of its value." So then Linux has nothing to lose!

  2. Is their a reason that this is new? on Google Launches Scholar Beta · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Because back in January I used it to do research for a paper.

  3. Apple does that too! on What Mac OS X Could Learn From Windows · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Compatible control keys.
    I learned how to use apple*c to copy and others in under 2 days.
    Save button on toolbars.

    but i'm not going to get an Macintel until it's out atleast 4 years.

  5. Still very compatible on Win2000 Still Performs on 8-year-old Hardware · · Score: 0

    Still very compatible with Mac OS X, OS 9 still runs very well on very old hardware - hardware with low specs it was never even meant to run on. The broad question hasn't stopped Macintosh sales.

  6. I heard that... on Longhorn Beta Begins · · Score: 2, Funny

    maybe something might work...but that idea is far out...

  7. They only say Red-hat... on Google Toolbar for Firefox Released · · Score: 0

    So where is the debian support?

  8. I don't like it... on More Details On Civ IV Moddability · · Score: 0

    With the advancement of graphics since Civ II, the game seems to have been corrupting from a tactical stance. Civ II is still my favorite.

  9. RAID on The Neuron Drive · · Score: 0

    Why not try that RAID array hack like slashdot featured yesterday-->only on this picture frame. Just stick a few 250+gig hd's in the back.

  10. Re:Hey Mushupork on NextFest 2005 · · Score: 0

    What you really mean is that this could increase interest in smarter (Linux, Mac) offerings.

  11. Re:Glad on Aussie Spammer Faces Millions in Fines · · Score: 0

    How was that flamebait to pretend that I was a spammer and talking about how I'm not caught because I'm not in Aussieland. I didn't even get a mad responce from the Aussie who replied.

  12. Re:Yes!!! on Canada Introduces DMCA-Style Copyright Law · · Score: 0

    Why did you take points off, it's perfectly on topic. I'm talking about my rights as a Canadian, and how I can't do as much with music as a user. Quote "full of new rights for the music industry with precious little for users."

  13. KDE on Google Summer of Code Project Breakdown · · Score: 0

    Why isn't KDE higher up the bloody food chain?

    I heard rumors about Halo...

  17. Re:Interesting on Integrated Circuit Inventor Jack Kilby Dead at 81 · · Score: 0

    "I swear he got more cheers than the team did any time that season." It's awesome to hear that geeks have acutally been reconised by what I assume was the general public. Rest in peace.

    If only they had Applecare for camcorders!

  21. Why the cheap huts? on More Info on Google's 3D Maps · · Score: 0

    They show you a picture on the link from this story, but why is Google using cheapo huts...i almost expect them to use planes or just hangers to hide them.

  22. Re:Emulate? on Linux on Nintendo DS, Update · · Score: 0

    What do you mean "the kernel is about as stable as a ladder made of lincoln logs"? I'm running Linux on a pc right now and the kernel is about as stable as, well a concrete wall-->it isn't about to crash!

  23. Emulate? on Linux on Nintendo DS, Update · · Score: 0

    Why Emulate-->these new gaming systems are almost computers. Here's a shocker-->how about we run Linux on a gaming system. I'm tired of emulation.
