  1. Re:ITunes solution: Just buy the CD! on The Most Annoying Software Out There · · Score: 1

    Agreed, what I'd really love is flac downloads though.

  2. Re:Honestly, these problems are solveable on The Most Annoying Software Out There · · Score: 1

    Fedora 9 defaults with OpenJDK, pretty damn close to a full Open Source JRE.

  3. Re:But... on Blender 2.46 Released · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's posts like these that make me wish we had -1 troll. Oh wait...

  4. Re:Rationale for new packaging system? on New Linux Distribution — Exherbo, Announced · · Score: 1

    Why do people climb mountains? Because they are there.

  5. Read other peoples posts people. on Keeping Customer From Accessing My Database? · · Score: 1

    There are so many fucking repetitive replies on this post it's sickening.

  6. Re:I've got a secret for them on Honeywell & Airbus To Turn Algae Into Jet Fuel · · Score: -1, Troll

    Fuck the planet, it's going to die eventually as will we if we fail to leave it. I say exploit it as much as possible while we still can and find a way to get off it.

  7. Re:They already have a common UI. on Moving Toward a Single Linux UI? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think this is all the evidence I need to support my accusation that the mods are idiots.

  8. Obvious solution on Securing Your Notebook Against US Customs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ipods. I mean, come on, they're nothing more than several dozen GB thumbdrives, you can easily put all your stuff on there and carry it with you without suspicion.

  9. Re:Thanks Rachel on Swarming Ants Destroy Electronics in Texas · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Tell that to the millions saved every year from malaria by DDT.

  10. Re:Considering? Sure. Gonna happen? NOPE. on Canada Considering A Three Strikes And You're Off The Internet Policy? · · Score: 1

    Well maybe as someone who takes advantage of downloading music it seems like a good idea, but that is hardly NOT the only thing CDs are good for. What about all of us who use CDs for data storage/live cds, etc? That tax sure as hell isn't doing anything for us but costing us more money.

  11. Re:wishful thinking on How the NSA Took Linux To the Next Level · · Score: 1

    If you are going to take competency of the admin into account when analyzing how secure a system can be, then you are pretty much already screwed.

  12. Re:Learn how to use SELinux without disabling it.. on How the NSA Took Linux To the Next Level · · Score: 1

    I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure 'system-config-selinux' is specific to Fedora (or at least Red Hat related distros). All the other system-config-* commands seem to be at least.

  13. huh? on Peter Gabriel's Web Server Stolen · · Score: 1

    What? No link to his site?

  14. Re:Huge step backwards? on Hands-On With SteelSeries Ikari Mouse and New 7G Gaming Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Surely you can't be referring to one of those god awful "chicklet" keyboards. They make me want to slice open my wrists with a steak knife. Believe it or not, some people actually appreciated the value of tactile feedback when touch typing.

  15. Re:Charge for drugs? on Bill Gates On the GPL — "We Disagree" · · Score: 1

    The system may be broken but he certainly does not have to do anything about it. The concept that he would be willing to donate money to help others is inherently charitable and the amount of money in question makes it "incredibly" so.

  16. Re:Charge for drugs? on Bill Gates On the GPL — "We Disagree" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow, you successfully managed to make an incredibly charitable remark about curing cancer sound like a bad thing.

  17. Re:Usability Issues on The End of Non-Widescreen Laptops? · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a failing of your window manager more than anything else.

  18. Re:Yay New Features on First Looks at The Gimp 2.5 · · Score: 1

    So fork or shut the fuck up.

  19. Re:EX-TER-MI-NATE! on Armed Robots Not Actually Gone From Iraq · · Score: 1

    That is not how redundancy works.

    (Are multiple desktops set up by default in a typical Linux distribution these days?) Yes.
  21. Re:Yay New Features on First Looks at The Gimp 2.5 · · Score: 1

    Having not used it in 2 years, I'll try: Well there's the problem...
  22. Re:Yay New Features on First Looks at The Gimp 2.5 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Or maybe, it has something to do with end users never being able to say exactly what should be changed to make it better but just bitching about how it's bad because it was "designed by programmers". Come up with a more concrete compliant and maybe it will be addressed.

  23. Re:All file shareres are leechers on Demonoid Tracker Is Back Online · · Score: 1

    Maybe if they made media that didn't suck then it wouldn't do poorly. You can't blame a poor public reception on pirating alone.

  24. Re:I would have read the article before replying on FBI Posts Fake Hyperlinks To Trap Downloaders of Illegal Porn · · Score: 2, Informative

    You should never rely on mac filtering to keep other people off your network. MAC address spoofing is incredibly trivial, especially since without any sort of encryption your MAC address is being transmitted in plain text for anyone to read.

    Wow, only about 1/8th of that post was even remotely relevant or on topic...
