  1. First Post? on Patent Examiners Flee USPTO · · Score: 0

    Unlikely. Is there some widespread alteration of the way that patents work that could make these things better, or is the stress a natural outgrowth of the explosion of possibility created by an extremely open new environment for "invention"?

  2. blogger on Trellix Licenses Blogger · · Score: 1

    For an excellent example of a site built around the blogger platform, check out bagledog. It's a rather cool site where people talk about movies, old games, etc.

  3. drunk drivers on Jason Haas on LinuxPPC -- and Drunk Drivers · · Score: 1

    My computer has a drunk driver. It's my sound card driver. It sings to me sometimes, but i can't really understand it.

  4. MORE QUICKIES!! on Surround Sound Quickies · · Score: 1

    Bagledog has better quickies than slashdot!!

  5. more privacy issues on IBM Appoints Chief Privacy Officer · · Score: 1

    an interesting column about the man personally can be found on bagledog

  6. mo' patents on European Software Patent Horror Gallery · · Score: 1

    Bagledog has a rather long list of strangem + entertaining patents held by those damn brits. :) also, there's a link to the australian house of "MY IDEA", another great site so far as strange patents go.

  7. MOD THIS UP on New Q3A Patch And Mods · · Score: 1

    I was actually about to make this exact same post; stupid id people just lost a lot of respect in my eyes. It seems as if you could earn a lot of respect by listening to the community....

  8. Whoa... on Can One Electron Hold Infinite Data? · · Score: 1

    And i was so amazed about my friend buying a 60-gig... Mmmm... So, there is a possibility for infinite data in that little zap my moniter gives my finger every time i turn it on?

  9. Alterior Motives on Netscape Co-Founder Wants IE To Stay With Windows · · Score: 1

    I think that a major reason that he would want to see IE permenantly attached to windows is because IE5 on the mac kicks a lot of ass. If IE is attached to the OS portion of the company, then they will most likely stop developing for the mac, which leaves the platform entirely open to netscape, until mozilla shapes up to be a full-fledged consumer browser.

  10. public beta on Apple Delays Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Is releasing a public beta standard for apple? Will it be freely downloadable? Is this a first post?

  11. Re:Bow down and worship. on Carmack Speaks · · Score: 1

    aye

  12. dvd card on Linux Drivers For Hollywood Plus DVD Card · · Score: 1

    How soon until a dvd -> mpg decodor comes out for linux?

  13. mmm.. beer on Linux Beer Hike 2000 · · Score: 4

    Drunk hackers. Sound like the makins of windows to me.

  14. Re:I don't understand this X-box thing..... on Microsoft Unveils Gaming Console · · Score: 1

    That's incorrect info. I have a good friend who lives on my school campus who's beta testing ME, and it works just dandy on our school's novell-run LAN. (not that i am pleased to defend ms... but let's keep our facts strait.)

  15. Re:Vote for Pico! on Voting Begins for $100k Beanie Awards · · Score: 1

    When i was a newbie, Pico helped me. Now that i know what i'm doing, Pico grows. What more do you want? I love pico. - - 0 0 ___ \_/ PICO!! (bye the way, what does pico stand for? Pine...?)

  16. Why i hate corel linux on Interview: Corel CEO Michael Cowpland · · Score: 0

    COREL LINUX SCREWED UP MY BOOT SECTOR, MADE MY FAT32 PARTITION INACCESSABLE, AND FUCKED UP MY BIOS!!! I WOULD NOT GIVE THIS PRODUCT TO MY WORST ENEMY!!! AND THERE IS NO MAKE COMMAND!!! AND NO WAY TO SET UP LILO!!! AND NO WAY TO NOT INSTALL THE COREL BOOT MANAGER!!! NOW... the civilized part: Dear old chap, when the fuck are you going to give me a command line option? Why do you have one "no-share" cd? Did you miss the point? Outside of these complaints, i love you man. Peace. :)

  17. Re:corel linux on Review of Corel Linux 1.1.2 · · Score: 1

    Sorry about that "early post" thing. My bad. I was under the impression that i was #3. Bad thing about corel that i just discovered: NO MAKE!!! Not cool at all.

  18. corel linux on Review of Corel Linux 1.1.2 · · Score: 1

    Early post!! I just picked up corel (from CompUSA, no less!). It's all GUI!! Even the (nearly flawless) installation is clicky-click all the way. It was kind of frightening at first, but i like it. They have done good things with K, and i must say that i like their dual-purpose (internet browser, file manager) "manager" (read: explorer). However, it comes on three cds: First, the source. Cool. Second, the "open circulation" cd. "Give this one away!" they say. Third, the "standard install" cd. NOT FOR SHARING!! INSTALL ONLY ONCE!! I don't like this at all. Overall, however, i like this distro. Keep up the good work!

  19. y2k on Merry Christmas Everyone · · Score: 1

    When the y2k flesh eating zombies come out, aim for the head.

  20. Best PF Album on Roger Waters To Create New Album · · Score: 1

    Wish you were here, all the way. There are no more relaxing, interesting floyd songs than the "Diamond"s, and the actual song wish you were here just rules.

  21. one thought on How do you Remember Your Passwords? · · Score: 1

    old credit card numbers. I remember about 30 of them. Also, random selections from pi out to about the 58th digit.

  22. SLOWER UF on User Friendly: The Book · · Score: 1

    NOOOOO!!! THIS MEANS THE UF SITE WILL BE BUSIER, AND I WILL HAVE TO WAIT 3/8 OF A SECOND LONGER FOR MY DAILY FIX!!! AHHHH!!!

  23. why them? on Rick Moen on LinuxOne's IPO · · Score: 1

    These small linux companies are getting big bucks from big competitors (intel to turbolinux) and IPOing (this case), for what reason? Wouldn't intel's hard-earned bucks be better spent on SuSE or Caldera? And why aren't SuSE and Caldera IPOing?

  24. Abandonware and You on Ask John Carmack About Quake - or Anything Else · · Score: 1

    What do you think of abandonware, or giving away games that are outdated to the point of unsellability? Will you be releasing quake or any other id games like this, or do you think that they remain eternally sellable?

  25. Re:hahahaHA MUTHAFUCKA!!!! BLEH-Q3RUHQEOW!!!!! on Intel Invests in TurboLinux · · Score: 0

    You pathetic bastard, go mumble to yourself on AOL.
