  1. Re:For fuck's sake on UK Police Want DNA of 'Potential Offenders' · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's a county thing but I guess I'm wrong - I'm in Bexar County (San Antonio) and I did

    As much as I hate it when people bash the US (and my post history shows that,) we are not that much better.

    I had to get fingerprinted to get a drivers license in Texas and that was 10 years ago.

  3. Re:Bad day for IE8 on Acid3 Test Released · · Score: 1

    My Konqueror (4.0.2 from the Debian experimental repos) did not crash but it did fail.

    It did better than my firefox 2 (to be fair I did not bother to disable the extensions.) Konqueror had 62/100

  5. Re:Safari on Firefox 3 Performance Gets a Boost · · Score: 1

    There's a 64 bit java and flash plugin now for firefox?

    Or are you using nspluginwrapper in which case maybe (probably) that's the problem?

  10. Re:He is on Ralph Nader Might Announce Run For President · · Score: 0

    Nader has done more good for this country than Gore (or most others in politics.)

    I'm curious. When Perot ran, did you see that as a Democrat conspiracy against Bush Sr.?

    Compromising is failing depending on the issue and how much you give.

    I have been using Debian's experimental packages.

    I miss being surprised by new features like this after a daily compile.

  14. Re:OPEC Screwing Themselves on Startup Claims to Make $1/Gallon Ethanol · · Score: 1

    I hope you don't get modded troll since it's true.

    Of course this is being done to keep prices down so more cars can be sold or to shift money to different players.

    The OPEC's actions has made this more widely embraced then any eviromental benifits have.

  15. Re:I am really grateful for this release on Linux Kernel 2.6.24 Released · · Score: 1

    You should have just skipped to the stable one then instead of using an outdated rc.

  17. Re:Think of the Economics on Chinese Government Sued Over Dog Height Censorship · · Score: 1

    I think these extreme writings are coming from liberals trying to make conservatives look more like jerks.

    Notice they are all anyomous and do nothing but butcher whaterever side they are suposedly bashing.

    Now that we got that out of the way, maybe we can continue the discusion rather than guessing at people's nationalities.

  21. Re:Minor gripe on Guantanamo Officers Caught Modifying Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Case in point, the moderator did not agree with my post therefore it was marked as a troll.

    We will see more of this now that the US presidential elections are coming up.

  22. Re:Minor gripe on Guantanamo Officers Caught Modifying Wikipedia · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I think mods see moderating as voting for what they like or don't like.

    Since there is not a -1 disagree, they choose troll.

    You don't honestly expect people to read the moderating guidelines when they can't even read the articles, do you?

    It just shows the varity of user tastes there are. I didn't look at the dolphin screenshot, but the krunner one had a sharp looking desktop.

    Well by that "logic," we should be recomending fluxbox.

    (I love fluxbox. It's my WM is kde ever fails but I just don't buy that more configuration options drives people back to windows. It's not like you have to use those options.)
