  1. Re:No, that's impossible. on Trojan Hides In Pirated Copies of Apple iWork '09 · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. A proper trojan differs from regular programs only in that it convinces the user it's meant for something else.

  2. Re:Remember, it's only inevitable on The State of Video Game Regulation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Personally no, though I respect your right to distributed it.

  3. Re:Standby? on Fujitsu To Show Off "Zero-Watt" PC At CeBIT · · Score: 1

    More importantly, does it really matter?

  4. Republicans? on Most Hackable Coupon-Eligible DTV Converter? · · Score: 1

    Ok, seriously slashdot, why does stuff like this keep getting tagged 'republicans' or 'democrats'? It's starting to get really annoying.

  5. Re:Yeah but KDE doesn't work. on Qt Becomes LGPL · · Score: 1

    Have you tried anything more recent than 4.0? Things have improved A LOT since then. Hell, we are almost at 4.2 already, 4.1 is nearly just as featureful as the 3.5.x line ever was.

    Also, I really cannot see any way that KDE could ever "screw up your kernel". Firstly, your kernel image should never be writable to anyone but root (and if you are running KDE as root we need to have a talk...). Secondly, even if the kernel image was writable, KDE shouldn't touch it unless you explicitly tell it to do something. My guess is your system was already messed up to begin with.

  6. Re:Sometimes we forget. on Interview With an Adware Author · · Score: 1

    You don't "fix" a computer. You reinstall, it should only take 20 minutes tops. Of course, you should not be an idiot and not let it get that way to begin with. Regardless of your overinflated salary you are throwing away money. Dumbass.

    I'm either about to be "woooshed", or you are an incredibly idiotic person.

    I find the parrellels to Balmer's, "Developers, developers, developers, developers,..." rather disturbing.

    Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 30 years, then yes.

  10. Re:any relation to the Ubuntu update? on Another DNS Flaw Found, Patched · · Score: 1

    Even if we are running a DNS server on one of them?

  11. BECAUSE on Why Does the US Have a Civil Space Program? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Because we can.

    That should be more than enough reason. We as a species have proven ourselves significant. We are the only know organism that has ever had the ability to leave the immediate confines of this planet. If we stop now then this monumental acheviement was not more than a cheap stunt.

  12. Re:No on FreeBSD 7.1 Released · · Score: 1

    believe it or not, not every developer who chooses to license their code under the GNU GLP is doing it for "religious reasons". Some of us are just greedy bastards who want to be able to maintain control of our code.

  13. Re:No on FreeBSD 7.1 Released · · Score: 1
    a difference between "You guys aren't playing fair..."

    Of course they are playing fair. So long as they are obeying the license what's unfair with what they are doing? You should pick the license that fits your idea of fair.

  14. Re:why not just do this with solar. on Distributed "Nuclear Batteries" the New Infrastructure Answer? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When the fuck have electric grids started spanning all 24 timezones?

    If we could stop classifying fuel as "waste" then yes sure. You may drop the real waste in my backyard. Do it like the french do and what's left isn't anymore harmful then that microwave oven you have in your kitchen.

    Just install rockbox on it and it'll become about as nice as they get. Unless it's one of those stupid newfangled ones anyways.

    I'm not sure what's worse. The fact the the editors write that, or the fact that at this point my brain doesn't even notice it.

    Who ever said it had to be a mechanical odometer? Otherwise you might as well assume people are going to "turn back" whatever the GPS has logged.

    New Jershey does that too. I always assumed it was just some backasswards union thing or something equally stupid. Good to know other states do it too I suppose...

    You sound about as ignorant as all those stupid beauty pagent bimbos who only want "world peace". Live isn't fair, nor will it ever be. If we devoted all of our resourced trying to accomplish such a hopeless goal we would never progress at all. Where would we be if instead of spending resources to build societies infrustructure we instead decided to spend all of out money feeding the poor? Think before you speak you ignorant fuck.
