  1. Re:Microsoft talking smack business as usual on Why Microsoft Is So Scared of OpenOffice · · Score: 3, Informative

    So, you never heard of the certificate programs run by Redhat and Novel and never visited http://tldp.org/ or used http://google.com/linux?

  2. Re:I am a nonbeliever on Linux To Take Over Microsoft In Enterprises · · Score: 1

    Sharepoint? Alfresco and KnowledgeTree are both better than SP. Exchange can be replaced rather easily by Citadel or Zimbra.

  3. Give Dell a disk and they will image them too on Generic PCs For Corporate Use? · · Score: 1

    If Dell is expensive to you, then the problem is that you haven't talked to the sales rep. If you get 1000 PCs from Dell/IBM/HP (more than 5 actually), then you can give them a HDD and they will image all machines with your own setup, so you can just roll them out at no extra charge.

  4. Re:Fees on Internet Dismantling the State Church In Finland · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Only $42? and how much church tax do you pay every year?

  5. Spider Silk Carpets on Genetically Engineered Silkworms Spin Spider Silk · · Score: 1

    Spider silk is already on the world market. I got a nice carpet on the living room floor - made in Belgium.

  6. Re:This is second place on Proving 0.999... Is Equal To 1 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but am still at a loss at how that can be twisted into a Microsoft bashing...

  7. Re:No thanks either way on Recently Discovered Habitable World May Not Exist · · Score: 1

    Me. That would be a nice cool summer. I'm Canadian, eh.

  8. Re:A Common Problem on IRS Servers Down During Crucial Week · · Score: 1

    When I was a student (1980s), I worked for a giant telco as an apprentice during university holidays. They still had some electromechanical phone exchanges in the small towns and I serviced a few uni-selector switches. Those were amazing machines, complete with mechanical registers (memory) and with proper maintenance, they lasted forever. By the 1980s they were just barely run in, but they were being replaced with small electronic switches.

  9. For King and Country on Dutch Hotels Must Register As ISPs · · Score: 1, Funny

    Hmm, the Netherlands, UK, Denmark, North Korea, Swaziland, Lesotho and a few other coconut states are dictorships with medieval style kings/queens. There may be elections once in a while, but that is just for show...

  10. Re:Endangered Lake??? on Carnivorous Swamp Beast Discovered In Madagascar · · Score: 1

    Well, you go to be careful. When a lake is in danger, it will curl up into a ball and pee on your foot...

  11. Debianicus Ice Weaselius on Carnivorous Swamp Beast Discovered In Madagascar · · Score: 1

    To me, it looks like an African Dassie, which like cockroaches, will *never* go extinct. However, maybe it is the illusive Debianicus Ice Weaselius?

  12. a real-time system with Windows software on Indian Military Organization To Develop Its Own OS · · Score: 1

    'Though it will be a real-time system with Windows software'... Uhmm, uhh, yeah, right...

  13. They could just filter their own water, but... on Alaska To Export Billions of Gallons of Water · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Bombay has no shortage of water, but it is so filthy nobody wants to drink it no matter how well it is cleaned up.

  14. The best on What Tech Should Be In a Fifth-Grade Classroom? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The best learning aide is a pretty young teacher in a mini-skirt.

  15. Microsoft on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    Ooooh, I can't wait for what will happen when 95% of the cars on the road are controlled by Microsoft systems. Imagine the massive traffic jams in front of the whore houses and gambling joints with totally clueless occupants in the driver's seat desperately downloading the latest Anti-virus programs so they can limp home in manual mode.

  16. Re:Rules of the Road on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    Fsckinhell, I live 11 time zones from my work. Its a helluva commute and it doesn't matter much which way I go.

  17. Upgrade time on Word Processors — One Writer's Further Retreat · · Score: 4, Funny

    Next year he should upgrade to Microsoft Edlin. That'll teach him.

  18. Is anybody watching? on At Commonwealth Games, the World's Largest Aerostat · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It seems that the games is mostly a non-event, with most seats remaining empty, despite the incredibly low ticket prices of about 50c a seat.

  19. Re:Helium on At Commonwealth Games, the World's Largest Aerostat · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It is only the US that is running out. The rest of world doesn't have a problem.

    ...and the decline is due to global warming of course.

  22. Re:Or, maybe it doesn't on Geolocation XSS Tracker Proof of Concept · · Score: 1

    My MAC is in Scottsdale AZ USA, but I am 11 hours away, almost exactly on the other side of the earth. Oh well, what the hell.

  23. Re:And it never would have amounted to anything... on Free Software Foundation Turns 25 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Uhmm, the BSDs are much older than Linux and they also use GCC and other GNU tools. BSD1 was released in 1977, which is before Linus was born! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Unix_history-simple.svg

  24. More importantly... on The Binary Code In Canada's Gov-Gen Coat of Arms · · Score: 1

    Canada finally has a Gov Gen that is not just a pretty face. The previous Liberal government really went out of their way to destroy the value of the post.

  25. Re:How about a share local option on Bittorrent To Replace Standard Downloads? · · Score: 1

    Apt and Urpmi can both do that already. Most users just don't bother to read the manuals.
