  1. Re:Not the way to go on An Early Look at Freespire Linux · · Score: 1

    I call it GConf.

  2. Re:So ... what does it do and how's it do it? on Nvidia Unveils New 64x SLI GPU Rig · · Score: 1

    Looks like you're basically paying $12000 for a plastic box, a PSU and a PCI-E extension cable.

  3. Re:Playing Devil's Advocate for a sec... on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 1

    There's a bit of a difference between snapping twigs off a tree and murdering people. I know it doesn't look like there's a difference to you, but there is one.

  4. Re:Nice place, this Halesowen on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 1

    Sarcasm aside, these kids probably will grow up hating the police, and have a much higher chance of actually being "terrorists" ("vandals" in Oldspeak) now.

  5. Re:Does anyone read TFA anymore? on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 1
    You don't make a fort from "a few broken twigs" as you put it. You make a fort by stripping the tree of every branch you can possibly break.


    For someone screaming this is an act of terrible vandalism, you sure seem to know an awful lot about the details of doing it...
  6. Re:But (obligatory) on Nvidia Unveils New 64x SLI GPU Rig · · Score: 1

    It's a workstation card made by nVidia, so I think it'll run out of the box.

    Now if you're talking about with OSS drivers... not a chance in hell.

  7. Re:Compromise on Oracle 'Losing Patience' with XenSource, VMware · · Score: 5, Funny

    As long as they both write their code using vim, I don't care which one I use.

  8. Re:Speaking as a Game Marketer and Linux User... on Cedega and Linux Games · · Score: 1

    Mesa and SDL are free to download and use for everyone.

    Just because you've paid the Microsoft Tax doesn't mean everyone has.

  9. Re:Speaking as a Game Marketer and Linux User... on Cedega and Linux Games · · Score: 1

    Alright, since you're a "game marketer" could you tell us how using free GL libraries and doing a two-hour recompile costs more than a DX9 SDK?

  10. Re:That is why white sucks on Apple Replacing Yellowed MacBook Palmrests · · Score: 1

    Wrong.

    I can see the E-Coli on my black mouse.

  11. Re:Cannot use prisoners on Parexel Destroys Immune Systems, Not Liable · · Score: 2, Funny

    What's the law say about biological weapons testing?

  12. despite Novell on Xen Not Ready for Prime-time, says Red Hat · · Score: 1

    or maybe because of.

  13. Re:As always.... on 50th Anniversary of the First Hard Drive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's because it _is_ about to hit a wall: atoms. After that hard disks will start getting bigger, and eventually something more space-efficient will replace them.

  14. Re:Like I Have That Kind of Time on Fun Things To Do With Your Honeypot System · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sounds like a good idea for a livecd, actually.

  15. Re:How long... on Photograph the Police, Get Arrested · · Score: 1

    Pot, meet kettle.

  16. I've got a different question: on Could Graphics Drivers be Included on the Card? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why do GPUs need huge drivers when CPUs don't?

  17. LiveCD on Dealing With The Always-Breaking Family PC? · · Score: 1

    If they somehow manage to break that, add glue.

  18. Re:Loyal fan on Paul Thurrott's WGA Woes Solved · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, I'd be _really_ pissed if I found out my Knoppix disc was actually some iso off Bittorrent...

  19. Re:That's REALLY sad... on Vista Speech Recognition Goes Awry · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is this "voice recognition" as in "understand English vocabulary and grammar rules and differentiate between speech and commands" or as in "match this sound up with one of 10 prerecorded ones to autodial a number"?

  20. Re:C - Cyclone on Thunderbird 2.0 Alpha 1, Firefox 1.5.0.5 Available · · Score: 1

    You're going to port the 150 or so megabytes of Mozilla sourcecode to one of these obscure untested languages? Great!

    If not, STFU and let the real programmers do their job.

  21. Free, new, good-quality hardware on Microsoft Patent Envisions Free Computing · · Score: 1

    Pick two.

  22. Re:Backslash: Backslash on Inverting Images for Uninvited Users · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is this /.'s answer to constant complaints about dupes? Start doing them deliberately to piss people off?

  23. Re:Apt comparison! on Apple Newton vs Samsung Q1 UMPC · · Score: 1

    Looks like I hurt a PSP fanboy's feelings.

  24. Re:Outdated Icon? on Ballmer Speaks on His Solo Act · · Score: 1

    I think last time this was brought up someone suggested just a picture of a chair. Subtle, but effective.

  25. For people too lazy to RTFA on Apple Newton vs Samsung Q1 UMPC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    (and I don't blame them, it's crap)

    Here's an analogy: Q1 = PSP, Newton = 1989 Game Boy.
