  1. Re:That's nice... on Linux Kernel 2.6.20 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    What are you talking about? QEMU can be used to install both XP and 2000. (Runs slow though.)

  2. Re:OSX vs Vista vs Linux on Linux Kernel 2.6.20 Released · · Score: 1

    That's my new sig. Thanks!

  3. Re:Are you surprised? on Vista Upgrades Require Presence of Old OS · · Score: 1

    I think people are just tired of Ubuntu being worked into every conversation. The Ubuntu fanboys are getting as bad as the gentoo fanboys

  4. Re:not to mention on OSDL's Review of Desktop Linux In 2006 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You forgot to name the "counterexamples."

  5. Re:"Why is it so hard to make a good Trek game"? on Star Trek Legacy Review · · Score: 1

    I prefer to pretend the TNG movies never happened. Other than that I agree with much everything you wrote.

  6. Re:No Thanks on How to get a Refund on Your Unwanted Windows · · Score: 1

    Or off topic
    The article was not about whether you want to play games and keep windows. It was about not having to pay the microsoft tax if you don't use windows.

  7. Re:Fiji on Looking Beyond Vista To Fiji and Vienna · · Score: 1

    I though that was the plan for Vista

  8. Re:I concur. on Ideal Linux System for Newbies? · · Score: 1

    I started with SuSe and moved to Debian within two weeks. The hardest thing for me as a noob was setting the fstab. If I had paid more attention to the installer, it would have been a lot easier.

    But I usually install Debian on my friends computer and then let them maintain it. I have never had any problems (except people complaining about the lack of flash 9 which is now available (and in the Debian repos.)

  9. Re:Why shouldn't they? on Firefox Creator No Longer Trusts Google · · Score: 1

    Mozilla is devoloping a reputation of not liking to work with others. I lost faith after the Debian buisness.

  10. Re:And strangely, on New iPod Owner Onslaught Overwhelms iTunes · · Score: 1

    No it doesn't work

  11. Re:I concur. on Ideal Linux System for Newbies? · · Score: 1

    I always recomend Debian

    Your wrong. RTFM

    Well, they just picked him and everyone else.

    It should have been
    YOU (assuming you met our definition of good. Definition on page 26.)
  15. Re:What's its niche? on Review of New Xandros 4.1 Professional Linux · · Score: 1

    Why is becoming a Debian me too comment interesting but a Ubuntu me too comment flamebait?

  16. Re:Oops! on White Dolphin Functionally Extict · · Score: 1

    And to those who would claim that human life is more precious than animal life... why? Because our advanced brain allowed us to creatively exploit and ravage mother nature as opposed to those stupid, underevolved animals who live in harmony with her? Please

    Actually, yes.

    And if you are going to put God in '' at least get the case right.

    Bart: You just shot zombie Flanders

    Homer: He was a zombie?

  18. Re:not quite.. on Army's Cut of 'Future Soldier' May Impact Med-Tech · · Score: 1

    I think they outdid themselves. They didn't expect the towers to actually fall (not that they lost any sleep over it) and now that is difficult to trump.

    If the terrorists had stuck with how they operate in the middle east (bus bombs, mall bombs, etc) I think that this would have had a much more lasting effect and have been easier to follow up on.

    Now if a bus was bombed it would seem anti-climatic next to the towers and most would shrug it off (well not those in the bus of of course.)

  19. Re:What's its niche? on Review of New Xandros 4.1 Professional Linux · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    At least it is not following Mepis, possible Kanotix and Linspire and becoming another "me-too" Ubuntu based distro (which is itself a me-too Debian distro.)

  20. Re:busted! from TFA, maybe can't sell office on Microsoft Loses South Korea Patent Ruling · · Score: 1

    Well that's not really a change is it?

  21. Come on.... on UK Schools Bans WiFi Due To Health Concerns · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What doesn't cause cancer?

  22. Re:Wanna do something usefull today? on Are More Choices Really Better? · · Score: 1

    I have to say one choice per app instead of overloading a distro with 5 choices on everything. Most distro's it is easiest enough to add a new package and adding a few packages is a lot easieer than removing 30

    The same way ID software and Unreal do I imagine.

  24. Re:Just 2.0 ? on Firefox 2.0 Password Manager Bug Exposes Passwords · · Score: 1

    Or it shows why Debian and Debian based distro's don't like to wait for mozilla for a fix.

    I set my agent ID as firefox in Konqueror but the exploit didn't work. Damn, on of the few things user agent can't emulate.
