  1. Room for Doubt on Novell Doubts Microsoft Latest "Linux Facts" · · Score: 1

    I didn't think there was any room for doubt here: even when you discount all the times something breaks due to the latest M$ patch, Windows still tops the list for unreliability.

  2. Spammer Bait on Would You Use Ad-Supported Windows? · · Score: 1

    Would there be a security hole (not that that ever happens) that allowed the friendly spammers to insert their own ads?

  3. Re:Distinction between file and type managers on 'Type Manager' The File Manager of Tomorrow? · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the article makes a distinction beween a file and type manager and doesn't actually draw a line between the two.

    If I understand the article correctly, a file manager should be a type manager for things of type file; the distinction is that all file managers could be type managers (but not necessarily all are).



    What "details of the file system" is the user removed from again?

    Um, when was the last time you used your file manager to move files from one cluster or sector to another?



    Right click on a music file, click properties and then click Summary.

    This is not properly a function of the type manager for files, but for music; I would view it as an accessory to the file type manager. Enjoy your broken functionality.



    The functionality varies a bit and is broken, but it's there.

    Enjoy your broken functionality.

  4. Re:A Tale of Two Dudes on Five Linux Companies Buy Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Have you seen the use to which Amazon.com has put the patent office?

    I think I'll patent a "procedure for simultaneously walking and chewing gum"

    -- if it hasn't already been patented.

  5. Re:Attack the messenger (please) on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    Just for the sake of clarification, are you referring to archaeological evidence or lack thereof? If you refer to archaeological evidence, please provide a link or links.

    I did click the link before I posted my reply, but didn't find the evidence presented to be quite sufficient.

  7. "Orthodox" Rabbis on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    Just out of curiosity, if the "Orthodox" rabbis consider the first 11 chapters of Genesis to be merely a story about YHWH's power, how do they deal with the rest of the Pentateuch? Is it all an allegory? In that case, can someone please explain how YHWH's power has any relevancy to real life? If it's not all allegory, then how do the learned rabbis distinguish between history and allegory, fact and fiction? If YHWH didn't get the first 11 chapters right, why do the rabbis take His Word for the remainder?

  8. Re:Attack the messenger (please) on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    Curious; you have yet to name one fact that contradicts the Bible. Do you have evidence that the Tower still stands? If so, where in the Bible does it say that it doesn't?
