  1. Style over substance? on How To Fix the Poor Usability of Free Software · · Score: 1

    I have been using free and open source software for over 10 years now, and i would rather have a square block that does what i want it to do when i want it done than have a nice 3D cube with bevelled edges and drop shadows that breaks because of reason x not allowing me to complete my desired task. Just like in any engineering job when the tool you need is not made then you make the tool yourself, once the tool is being used by many people then some corp decides to chrome it and mass produce it. Isn't that what DeadRat and Apple are for?

  2. time for regenesis? on Web-Crawling Program Spots Disease Outbreaks · · Score: 1

    Time to put Bob on the case

  3. Re:Richard Stallman Says... on Worm Transcodes MP3s To Infect PCs · · Score: 1

    CDEX works beautifully for Winders users. Nice and fast and ogg is one of the default formats.

  4. LinuxConf is next month... on Disgruntled Engineer Hijacks San Francisco's Computer System · · Score: 1

    LinuxConf is next month, you will have a critical mass of geek in the area; perhaps they could lend a hand. :D
    Offer Pizza and Bawls and you will have them lining up around the block.

  5. Ah, misstatement in point 1... on ISO Recommends Denying OOXML Appeals · · Score: 2, Funny

    There was a misstatement in point 1 - it should read:
    1. All judgements made during the course of the process were appropriately made under the applicable tables.

  6. Re:Fudgepackers. on User Charged With Felony For Using Fake Name On MySpace · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So then the people at "Catch A Pedophile" are committing a felony too. Damn, now how will we be entertained.

    Careful with that double-edged blade.

  7. Re:47% on Firefox Users Stay Ahead On the Update Curve · · Score: 1

    No no no, the IE6 version of the Yahoo/ATT browser, with anti-spyware and anti-virus built in...that's the secure one... ahem... cough...

  8. Except they are in violation of their oath on Congress Tries To Strip Power From Anti-Wiretap Judge · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Oath of Office
    I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

    To date the only one I am aware of that is following his oath is Ron Paul. BTW - they not only say this they sign a document to the effect. The vile contempt for the American people is what irks me most. Talk about ELITISM, these guys run amok in a town so far separated from their constituency they lose touch with reality.They begin believing the hype that they are more than just regular people.Fuck that. With our technology, there is no reason for these fat team-killing fucktards to BE in Washington, they should be home in their states meeting with the people they represent instead of going on junkets, diddling pages, hiring hookers, and paying other people to do their research.

    I'm not bitter. Not at all.

  12. Real Estate...cough... on How To Convince My Boss Not To Spam? · · Score: 1

    I have clients that are RE Agents. And they have me do this, but not to customers to OTHER RE Agents, :D
    so I am happy to do so. It's very funny, they pay a shitload of money to take a test that is less difficult than the high school exit exam, then even more to join an association, and more for crappy software :D, and gadgets. When they join the associations they put their info with email address, and this gets delivered to ANYONE who wants to pay for it. And man, do they get indignant when you inform them that their membership in the association authorizes other association members to contact them. Then they put themselves on the 'Do Not Contact' list and they don't get contacted... at all. No leads etc. I can't market to you, i won't deal with you.
    It's like piranha eating each other, and i get paid to watch :D

    So, spamming normal people == bad, spamming colleagues, sure.

    Orrin Hatch says yes, he has deputized them as a Pussy-Commie-Tatus :D (spelled incorrectly on PURPOSE), and they work as Undercover Agents, like Elvis.

    But having tried a couple of the "bring your files from your computer to your tv in another room" devices, this would be a great advancement.

  21. Re:Hmmm. on A Walk Through the Hard Drive Recovery Process · · Score: 1

    Of course, I have had clients that after telling them to backup, lost drives and paid $3200 for the data from a 200gb drive, they HAD TO HAVE IT, so they paid DriveSavers their exorbitant fee.

    Some people need to learn, others need to learn more than once. 'Oh so THAT'S what you meant?' :)

  24. OS Rustling? on Darl McBride Takes the Stand In Novell v. SCO · · Score: 1

    By God, we hangs OS Rustlers around these here parts. Someone git us a rope and we can commence with the hangin'!!!

    Perhaps the judge will find it in his heart to jail this Team-Killing FuckTard, or at least fine him all his assets. Truthfully he is as bad as any spammer.

  25. Re:Death certificate on Post-Suicide Account Cracking? · · Score: 1

    Freud is working overtime here, did you really say "Port Mortem"? I believe this pertains to Necrophilia, and not after-life account cracking,(btw - one of Microsoft's subsidiary's, Necrosoft, has software for this, it's where WinME and soon Vista will go and their new game After-Life).
