  1. Re:Insane laws on The Argument for Crackable Media · · Score: 1

    I disagree!

    My roll holder is of the one-end-open type and it pivots on it's mount. If you do the over the roll method and pull slightly out and down, this pushes the roll against the sidewall and it binds, leaving you with inadequate paper.

    Deploy under the roll and it pulls the paper out and up. One quick jerk and perfect paper every time :D

  4. Re:Testing? QA? on iPod nano Owners In Screen Scratch Trauma · · Score: 1

    How come this was a non-issue with previous ipods? My cell phone screen is perfectly legible after a year, and I take it with me scaffolding.

    My ipod mini also had no screen scratching issues. Sure you could scratch it, but not like this. Have you seen the pictures out there? After a month its to the point where you can barely read the text anymore. This is very obviously a flaw, not a normal occurence.

  5. Re:Why can't Appleites hold Apple to a high standa on iPod nano Owners In Screen Scratch Trauma · · Score: 4, Informative

    While black shows scratches and dirt way more than white, the issue here is about the screen material beeing way more prone to scratching. This has nothing to do with the black or white body.

  6. Re:Decisions, decisions... on Tivo Institutes 1 Year Service Contracts · · Score: 1

    Obviously its not as configurable against compiling everything from source, but ive got most of the ones you listed..no problems at all

    apting apache2, php, ftp, smb, shh, ..all without trouble. If you need to run a newer ver you can tell apt to ignore it.

    As for cvs, you can install cvs, and cvsd (pserver) totally seperate..amongst 100 other cvs related packages..it isnt at all a pain, everything is kept up to date, security problems automatically patched whenever a patch is released, etc. Basically it works for almost anything you wanna do. But if you need that last 0.1 percent, or encounter one of those rare problems, then by all means go to the source. But..saying gentoo is easier to maintain and faster to configure is pretty much untrue for anybody.

    Maybe its a troll but maybe you just havent tryed other more advanced distros?

    Try ubuntu. (tho im sure the same would work on debian)

    To install a service, apt-get install it. Thats it. No rc-updating, no etc updating.

    Samba for example..

    sudo apt-get install samba

    or ftp server (proftpd)

    sudo apt-get install proftpd

    They work, run on bootup, whatever a service should do.

    I wouldnt wish fedora on my enemies and there is certainly a reason gentoo is #10 and falling as far as popularity goes. (ubuntu is of course first with near double its next competitor)

    While I don't dissagree that it is overclocking...

    Nothing but the cpu will be accelerated because for the last good many years, PCI and other bus's on motherboards have had a gated connection to the front side bus (FSB) which means they will run in spec despite overclocking.

    This is retarded. Poor people suing big companies shouldnt be discouraged as much as big companies suing poor people.
