  1. What I hate about Java.. on IBM Offers to Help Sun Open Up Java · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...are people who use it in useless applets like on this page.

  2. An extreme website which ought to be outlawed: on 'Extreme' Web Sites Under Fire From UK Police · · Score: 1

    This example of how not to design a webpage. Pay special attention to the content in the iframe.

    The UNIX HATERS Handbook is most definitely a computer book and downloadable for free...

  6. Re:Shouldn't that be Arheiligium? on Element 110 Now Darmstadtium · · Score: 1

    No, the GSI resides in Darmstadt-Wixhausen. Naming an element after Wixhausen would be a very bad idea for obvious (well, obvious to German readers anyway) reasons.

    Posts like this one ask for a new moderation option:

  9. Re:Darmstadtium? Ewwww on Chemical Element 110 To Be Named · · Score: 3, Funny

    At least they did not name it after the part of Darmstadt where the GSI is actually located, which is called 'Wixhausen'...

    ...which means 'Wankville'...

  10. Re:KDE is WAY ahead! on A Look at the Upcoming GNOME 2.4 · · Score: 1

    ...Microsoft suddenly went from NT4 to (effectively) NT2000...

    Wrong. According to winver, Windows 2000 is Windows NT 5.0

    Under Windows XP: Start/All Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt. Voila, a CLI which is far more powerful than the DOS prompt.

    You mean Frozen Bubble, one of the most addictive games ever? The game the two player mode of which can keep grown up men playing with balls for hours and hours? That Frozen Bubble? Yeah, I guess it would be cruel to post a link to it.

  16. Re:Server doesn't use XP interface on Windows 2003 Going Gold · · Score: 1

    I'm currently using Win2K3 RC2. It uses a total of 80 MByte RAM at startup, nVidia driver and MS OneNote included. That's not more than a comparable Linux config would use

  17. Re:Yep: Nope! on Microsoft At Middle Age · · Score: 1

    Utter rubbish. Office 2003 will offer usability improvements while keeping the old file formats along with the option to use XML. No one is forcing you to upgrade.


    Oh, and BSOD jokes are so 1996. Newer Windows versions like 2000 and XP run as stable as Linux, if not more stable.

  19. Re:screenshots? on ReactOS 0.1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    And if you had looked closer, you would have noticed that the XP GUI comes from the emulator (Bochs) they used to run ReactOS in for the screenshots. Only the 3rd screenshot shows kind of a ReactOS GUI, which looks like Windows 3.1 with Windows 95 window buttons and generally like a very early alpha.

  20. Re:DOS didn't have automount. on Linux 3.0 · · Score: 2, Informative

    You must have a newer XP version than I do. dir a: without a floppy in the drive creates the following message on my system:

    PowerPC has nothing to do with x86. It's an acronym in fact, standing for 'Performance Optimised With Enhanced RISC Performance Chip' (where did they come up with those acronym monsters in the 90's?).

    ..., released yesterday, now supports Ogg Vorbis files as well. That should help the .ogg format to be more widely accepted, shouldn't it?
