  1. Re:Windows only because I -had- to on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    I've found GIMP to be a powerful (but unstable on Windows) replacement for most of my 2-D Amiga graphics apps (the exception being Morph Plus).

  2. Re:What about Babylon 5? on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine DVD Details Announced · · Score: 2

    Great maker!

    We need a Babylon 5 story now. And a topic icon with one of those guys with the hair!

    We need a place for disgruntled Voyager fans to sound off! :-)

  3. Re:Triple? on New Linux 2.5 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    nVidia said that about three drivers, at least.

    I think that while they do make progress, the marketing machine is turned a bit high.

  4. Re:when is Fall? on Dragon's Lair on X-box · · Score: 1

    I'm in the states and I have no clue what seasons are going by. It really annoys me.

  5. Re:Too little too late? on OpenGL 2.0: Chasing DirectX · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, ever since DirectX was integrated into the Linux kernel OpenGL has been dead. ...Huh?

  6. Nobody ever says anything about... on Which 3D Rendering Package Do You Recommend? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Realsoft 3D

    Which has always seemed to be pretty advanced to me.

  7. Re:Oh how I miss the old days on 1+ GHz Commodore SX-64 Mod · · Score: 1

    Silly lameness filter...

  8. Re:Where's the Linux retort? on Microsoft Vandalizes NYC · · Score: 2

    I can hear the penguins shouting...:

    "Don't place faith in Microsoft things
    Microsoft things will fail you

    A hurricane triggered by a butterfly's wings...
    Conspirators betray you."
    :-)

  9. Re:Brand Awareness on Microsoft Vandalizes NYC · · Score: 2

    So they intend to make Microsoft synonymous with breaking the law? Sorry, it's been done. Anyone ever hear of their illegal monopoly?

    Never mind all the illegal operations their OS has performed. :-)

  10. Re:Im as anti-microsoft as the next guy but on Microsoft Vandalizes NYC · · Score: 2

    I lost any interest in considering MSN as not being totally evil when I was emailing a user and was getting multi day delays along with the occasional server out of memory bounce.

    I'm also easily ticked off whenever a windows update resets the default page to MSN...

  11. Tetrisphere? on Tetris Is Hard: NP-Hard · · Score: 2

    Is Tetrisphere also NP-hard?

  12. Re:Obligatory reminder of review and Libranet on Debian Desktop Subproject Launched · · Score: 2

    Free download, too!

    Wicked! I was vexed that I couldn't try it for free a few months ago (when a local user group member told me it existed) and gave up right there.

    If the demo version doesn't make me self sufficient I may end up buying it now.

  13. Re:Daunting? on Debian Desktop Subproject Launched · · Score: 1

    Excuse me? Debian's install process is the best I've used. I figured it out the *first* time I tried it out, and it installed beautifully, using the network to download only what packages it needed instead of making me download a whole 700 MB's worth of packages most of which I won't use.

    I've had unending problems leading to having to download the full CDs because of slow adoption of PPPoE support (and PPP is supported everywhere else, what was the hold up?)

  14. Well... on Debian Desktop Subproject Launched · · Score: 2

    Given about a year of off and on fighting and tinkering with Debian to provide a comfortable working environment for me. All I have to say is:

    YES!

  15. Re:How the heck? on CERT: Sendmail Distribution Contained Trojan Horse · · Score: 2

    Yeah, its nice we don't have anything that like makes a focused beam of ions or anything.

    Noone will be putting trojans on my chips!

  16. Re:Deep Fritz vs Deep Blue on Slashback: Dilemma, Privacy, Chess · · Score: 1

    Sure, but you need to keep in mind that now that Deep Blue has been disassembled, there is no way to get an honest, head to head comparison.

    I guess Kasparov gets the last laugh then, since Deep Blue is dead.

    Too young to be murdered that way... :-)

  17. Re:Your lucky day on Security as a Profit Center? · · Score: 1

    I thought BSD was the reason the SSH bugs were not disclosed..?

    Bad default BSD config...

  18. Re:Uh Oh!!! on Linux TCO: Less Than Half The Cost of Windows · · Score: 1

    Now compare the time spent doing that with the time it'd take to build a real system by flipping burgers.

    Never mind buying the hamsters (rats are much easier to find, and you can feed them people).

  19. Re:Uh Oh!!! on Linux TCO: Less Than Half The Cost of Windows · · Score: 2

    And All this Time I have been using Linux for free.

    Ignoring electricity bills, hardware, and all the time you spent when you could have been flipping hamburgers.

    Within the tiny domain of costs for right to use it is free (which is quite apparently not true for many distros anyway).

    We are typing Total Cost of Ownership here. When you get cancer because of what the power plants are doing to keep everything in your box spinning remember that. ;-)

  20. 10Mb/s for email exchange? on Exchange Email Addresses With A Handshake · · Score: 2

    Must be sending one of those big raytraced spinning animgifs for that to be used.

    Unless handshaking involves flicking a fly off someone.

  21. Re:M.U.D. on High-Speed Data Transfer Over ... Mud · · Score: 1

    A grue or a drill bit from the heavens? :-)

  22. Re:Radio interview about this on High-Speed Data Transfer Over ... Mud · · Score: 1

    That MP3 has a RIFF WAVE header...!

  23. Re:What have we discovered in this exercise? on RC5-64 Success · · Score: 1

    Thats why I'm focusing on OGR.

    Once we have it, it can be used to boost efficiencies elsewhere. (mainly in the rhelm of sensory knowledge gathering AFAIK)

  24. Re:Is this a contradiction? on Servers with a Smile · · Score: 1

    If there are so many bugs and incompatibilities then why does administration cost 10% 20% less?

    I think it makes the statement more impressive. The Linux hill is easier to camp on even when it rains.

  25. Re:Ogg Theora? on Xiph.org Releases Theora Alpha One · · Score: 2

    I'm waiting for the Ogg Rebus video codec. :-)
