  1. Re:Yes on The Ethics of Selling GPLed Software For the iPhone · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you feel bad about getting filthy rich, use the money to hire coders (prolly yourself) to port more stuff and maybe even develop new stuff. GPL is all about win-win business, if someone think it's too expensive they fork.

  2. Re:Obligatory XKCD on Emacs Hits Version 23 · · Score: 1
  3. Art on Bugatti's Latest Veyron, Most Ridiculous Car on the Planet? · · Score: 1

    This is an engineering/art masterpiece. Some like to own those, others like me are happy enough watching them at a museum or on Top Gear.

  4. Re:Acid 3 test on Opera 10.0 Released, With Integrated Web Server Functionality · · Score: 1

    is there any way to set this per server?

  5. Re:What kind of verbosity? on Comparing the Size, Speed, and Dependability of Programming Languages · · Score: 1

    The java error is epic as where it shows why (many/most) java programs are slow (to the point of useless). Noob programmers creating/deleting objects en mass for no reason.

  6. Re:Might be a good idea on Debian Switching From Glibc To Eglibc · · Score: 1

    You blame upstream for a packaging bug? It's impossible to blame anyone than debian QA for that one.

  7. Re:Taste on Nuclear Testing Helps Identify Fake Vintage Whiskey · · Score: 1

    Since many of the aromas are not water soulable but alcohol soulable, by lowering the alcohol concentration you force some aromas out of the whisky and into the air. You taste better with your nose than with your tounge. So: Always water your scotch! Some well matured ones need only a teaspoon of water, others need to be watered down to 30% to be enjoyable. (I will now treat myself one cl of bowmore 18 with a few ml water)

  8. Re:Part of the problem on Drug Company Merck Drew Up Doctor "Hit List" · · Score: 1

    The "life expectancy at birth" list is almost useless for anything since deaths at age under one year old influences the rest of the list hugely.
    It is completely irellevant when it comes to old people, compare it to a list of "life expectancy at X years old" to see why.

  9. Re:End of an era on Larrabee ISA Revealed · · Score: 1

    The only thing software raid needs to make hwraid obsolete is reliable nvram (reliable wrt power loss)

  10. Re:Suprise? on Phenom IIs, Core I7-920 Win Out In Value Analysis · · Score: 1

    I've designed so many systems with the possibility to upgrade in the future. Future comes, and all cpus more than marginally better are not supported by the mobo (due to speed or slot), or the old type of ram supported by the mobo is now rare and very expensive. Maybe Im unlucky or unskilled.

  11. Re:Well, I hope they hurry up... on AMD RV790 Architecture To Change GPGPU Landscape? · · Score: 1

    Sadly, experience dictates that: Whatever card you buy now is insignificant in performance when OpenCl is mature enough to use.

  12. Re:Fraud on Diebold Election Audit Logs Defective · · Score: 2, Informative

    Watch "Hacking Democracy"(by HBO) (it's on youtube) for clues to how.

  13. Re:Fraud on Diebold Election Audit Logs Defective · · Score: 2, Informative

    We should change the laws to hold devices used in state and federal elections to similar or same standards as life-critical medical devices.

    They are life-critical. Just ask Saddam.

    I would rather ask these: http://icasualties.org/Iraq/index.aspx

  14. Re:Grub on Build Your Own SATA Hard Drive Switch · · Score: 1

    Or that pressing F12 is a problem or that they buy too cheam mobos.

  15. Amish on Midnight Commander Development Revived · · Score: 2, Funny

    Amish 2.0, now with computers but with the ui equivilient of a buggy.

  16. Re:A reasoned analysis? That's good. on Linus Switches From KDE To Gnome · · Score: 1

    Was quick is now slow (on F10 atleast), i now run LDXE on low end machines.

  17. Re:A reasoned analysis? That's good. on Linus Switches From KDE To Gnome · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Try LXDE. Faster than XFCE and very gnomealike, I run it on all my low end Fedora boxes.

  18. Re:File a police report _now_. on A Teacher Asking Students To Destroy Notes? · · Score: 1

    Where I'm from demanding someones personal belongings under threat is called robbery. Even if the threat is implied.

  19. Re:I don't get it... on The 10 Coolest Open Source Products of 2008 · · Score: 1

    No there is no training, but the time learning the shit is spent and that costs alot. And its frustrating looking for menus you know is there but not where they was in the last version (with a boss breathing down your neck)

  20. Re:Doesn't have a built in update mechanism? on Microsoft Rushes Internet Explorer Patch · · Score: 1

    No, the problem is that it takes eons to start ff if your network is down (I guess a dns timeout), and just a long time if your network is up. If they did the update check in a separate thread I would leave it on.

  21. Re:none on What Restrictions Should Student Laptops Have? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Punishment? No! The filters should be there to encourage the kids to learn how to bypass them, in the process they will learn alot, and be highly motivated to learn alot.

  22. Re:Sure, why not? on BitTorrent For Enterprise File Distribution? · · Score: 1

    The SCENE is a MMO, the strictly hierarchial structure is needed for the game to work.

  23. Re:They are using RPM 4.6.0 release candidate on Fedora 10 Released · · Score: 1

    Yeah, NM is a steaming pile of prototype, witout any kind of usable documantation. seLinux on the other hand is very good for the paranoids but hard to use if you need to do something exotic, and there is more documentation than I bother to read.

  24. Re:What about Excuse #1? on Distributed Compilation, a Programmer's Delight · · Score: 1

    I like Icecream, dunno why it feels better than distcc, maybe the bugs are fewer.

  25. Re:Fail on Mars Rover Spirit Still Alive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I realy like the word Imperial better. Including the hillarious "Imperial Metric" where the nuts and bolts are the usual old fractions of inch but are marked in mm.
