  1. Re:What software developers have told me on The Future of Closed Source Software and Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sooo... you think it's totally reasonable to ask the Linux coders, committed to free software, to help port closed software, so the closed software companies can make more money...? I don't see the commitment on part of the Linux coders to help companies with too much money make more myself.

  2. Yeah, they can learn... on The Future of Closed Source Software and Linux · · Score: 1

    "I am a firm believer that both parties could learn a lot from each other; unfortunately I don't see that happening any time soon." Like, how to get your face photoshoped into a Borg and made a topic icon on /.?

  3. Re:This guy must be a slashdot reader... on Apple's DRM Is Bad For Consumers and Business · · Score: 1

    That's exactly why donation systems work best. I may think a CD is worth 2$, but you may really love it and want to give them 60$ (where it maybe sold for 20$ now). Open software and many other systems work on this; why can music and movies not? It's gimme gimme mentality, and only makes me not want to give them ANYTHING yet still use what they want to rape me for just to spite them (however in most cases it isn't even worth it...). So there is the fix to your problem.

  4. Re:My limited experience has been surprisingly OK on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 1

    The masochistic part is the "grin and get fucked over, asshole" part. If they feel like actlike superior, any default respect to them is gone, at least for me. If they want to be nice, I'll be nice, too. But I am not playing the "I have a badge, bend over" game that many want to play.

  5. Drop Oracle... on To Support, or Not Support Oracle? · · Score: 1

    And add MySQL. Most smaller servers run MySQL, and since it's used on both windows and linux servers, you will be getting many more users then with Oracle.

  6. Adventure games are kinda bad... on Nintendo To Be the Hero of the Adventure Genre? · · Score: 1

    Not trying to troll to anyone that likes them, but most of the time adventure games are just games that lack any other system of gameplay. While some adventure games are good, the gameplay is very limited. I think most adventure games families would probably be better if they changed to an RPG-ish game play (depending on the game). I would love to see a Zelda with a TES like engine...

  7. Re:190,000Euro divided by 70,400 computers..... on Spanish Region Goes Entirely Open Source · · Score: 1

    Why hack the grades when you control them. :P

  8. Re:Spain is a socialist country these days... on Spanish Region Goes Entirely Open Source · · Score: 1

    There isn't one now? And that's a bad thing, anyway? Windows is totally capitalistic, so...

  9. Re:Judgement day on Spanish Region Goes Entirely Open Source · · Score: 1

    Hasta siempre comandante, Linux!

  10. Enemy of the People on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 1

    You are an enemy of the people. You will no disappear from all records and never be heard from again.

  11. Re:My limited experience has been surprisingly OK on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And you hit the nail on the head. You have to demean yourself and give up all self respect to not get tossed in the slammer, while boosting the already oversized eco of the police. Those of us NOT masochists will always end up being wronged.

  12. I see swords coming back in style. on Liquid Armor the New Bulletproof Vest · · Score: 1

    No text really.

  13. Re:Moral persecution on Common Sense Beats Out MN Games Law · · Score: 1

    "Free thinking" is a point of view. I am sure they seen themselves as that.

  14. Re:Wrong, Sir, wrong! on Citizen Photographers v. The Police? · · Score: 1

    The system does NOT allow change, because the masses have been so brainwashed to see anything is worth changing. And no, it's VERY hard to make them think otherwise. Look at yourself and your hollow rhetoric. And then there is the fact the vote is always bought by companies and the rich... yeah, I say time for a revolution.

    Also I would lay off the personal insults if you don't want to get modded a troll.

  15. Re:Moral persecution on Common Sense Beats Out MN Games Law · · Score: 1

    You mean, like those pilgrims?

  16. Re:ESRB? on Common Sense Beats Out MN Games Law · · Score: 1
    but the US is a democracy
    Just keep telling yourself that. EVERYTHING IS OK, got it? Don't think otherwise....
  17. Re:Ok, another "This is crap" moment... on Big Mother Is Watching · · Score: 1

    If I didn't know why crack was bad and was just told no, then yes, it would make me want to try it. But I know more then "no" so I don't. People are people, no matter what you are not going to make your kids into mindless troops to be commmanded, and even if you could do it, why?

  18. Re:Ok, another "This is crap" moment... on Big Mother Is Watching · · Score: 1

    Grass is always greener. If I told you that blue cars are illegal, I would be disipointed if you didn't buy one off the black market. "No" is as good a reason as any to do something.

  19. Re:The saddest part. on Big Mother Is Watching · · Score: 1

    All we will have is more gangs... just not pot and crack, but cookies and pie. Damn those mexican cake dealers, you never want to run across them, they'll "ice" you with their little pastry tools...

  20. Re:Band Aid on Big Mother Is Watching · · Score: 1

    Leaders are not the same as controlers; the connection is too commonly made. You will not find a leader in politics, at least not one in any real power. Leadership is diferent from control in the way leadership makes people want to follow you, where control forces them to/brainwashes them into wanting to.

  21. Re:Let's get it over with on Big Mother Is Watching · · Score: 1

    "Their shit diet is going to cost society massive amounts in health care!"

    A ahhh the "massive amounts in health care" argument, how I miss thee. Yet another "A may affect B, so A needs outlawed" case. You have inderect reasoning to thank for things like DRM, seatbelt laws, compulsitory school, warning labels on _every fucking thing_ and all other nanny laws. Grow up, anything can change anything, a can of computer duster COULD be used to kill someone, that doesn't mean it WILL be used to do so, nor that there is logic in thinking outlawing computer duster will end murder.

  22. Re:talk about over protective on Big Mother Is Watching · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's far easyer to tell someone "get in the car" then to explan to them why to get in the car, however, that work pays off, since you will probably not have to explan it to them next time. If people don't make decisions now, here's a no brainer: they NEVER will, or will make the worng ones. A babied socity is one that cannot think for itself, and by George W. Bush, that is what we have today. Think of the implacations of things before acting, or maybe you cannot because you don't know how to...

  23. Re:Titanium - Scratch Resisitant?? on Insights Into the Future of the Laptop · · Score: 1

    There is much more to metal then just the type of metal; there is purity and tempering. A well tempered Aluminum plate would be much better then a badly tempered steel plate.

  24. Re:The Real Absurdity is Intellectual Property on Paul Thurrott's WGA Woes Solved · · Score: 1

    Sadly, in the end, Nobody Cares other then us, and we hardly compare to the GOP (or the democrats, them being "better" is a common myth).

  25. You CANNOT be serious on Photograph the Police, Get Arrested · · Score: 1

    Let's just strack picking any non white people of the street and deal with it later. Lets just pick everyone up with cameras. Or everyone near where a durg dealer is arested.
