  1. Re:Warning: Semi-OT on Some Companies Don't Care about Web Defacement · · Score: 0

    My boss also reads /. so he doesn't care when he walks by and sees it on my CRT. Isn't being a /.er _WORK_ anyway?

  2. Warning: Semi-OT on Some Companies Don't Care about Web Defacement · · Score: 0, Troll

    "And hell, its the holidays so its not like anything else interesting is gonna turn up to read for a few days :) "
    Well, Mr.Taco, some of us are actually at work, and working today.

  3. Re:Interesting read on Linux 2001 Timeline · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Actually, this is very much on topic. Try reading the headline _AND_ the comment before you moderate.

  4. Interesting read on Linux 2001 Timeline · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    But why the hell would you refer to LWN as Eklektix? Why was that plug necessary? That was just plain dumb, you should get to the point, and cut out the bullshit.
    Thank you.

  5. This really should have been: on Playstation 2 Outsells both Xbox and Gamecube · · Score: 0, Troll

    from the Well-duh! dept.

  6. Is anybody else shocked? on Red Hat And Lineo Respond To MS Embedded Linux FUD · · Score: -1, Troll

    M$ lied about this, they lied about XP not being hacked by al Qaeda...

  7. Re:Is it me? on Athlon MP Reviewed · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I first remember seeing the "MegaHertz Myth" on Apple's webiste, when they were touting the advantages of the RISC design. Linked here: http://www.apple.com/g4/myth/

  8. Macs on Workstations For Poor 3D-artists · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ok, this isn't a troll... Many graphic artists uses Macs, as most of us already know. They learn how to use Macs and to use the Mac versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter, etc. I don't see many graphic artists gravitating towards the iX86 platform. I think they would prefer to stick to Macs, even if it is a slower, more outdated machine, because it is what they are used to. Just like many M$ users stick to Winblows, because they are used to it, even though Linux or BSD would be better. Just my 2 cents.

  9. Boosting Ego / Marketshare on VP3, Open Source Video at 200kbs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    warning: not a troll, just an observation: Is this just a cheap ploy to sell P4's? This seems like Intel is just tooting their own horns about this technology, and claiming it's only for P4's.

  10. Linux Speakup on What Accessibility Options Exist for Unix? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Linux Speakup is an organiztion of blind folks who 'like to mess around with linux'. This is one type of software to help the (visually) impaired. A gentlemen on one of the mailinglists I subscribe to uses this package, and claims it works well. It must work at least half way decent if he's able to be on a mailinglist, and offer all the knowledge that he has, which is quite extensive.

  11. A hack on Rent Music Over the Net · · Score: 1

    Somebody will soon come up with a hack to listen to all those files, even if they cancel the service. Then they will be able to p2p those files, and the whole thing will start over again. So there's no real reason to do this, when p2p is so quick and easy.

  12. Half a mil? on CPU Wars · · Score: 0, Redundant

    How about instead of 130 nanometers, they say half a mil? Guess nobody knows what a mil is?

  13. Re:Is /. senile? on Can Open Source Companies Stay That Way? · · Score: 1

    Yup HERE.

  14. Re:This isn't horrible. on Steven Schafer On The Future of Progeny · · Score: 1

    OK, now that you trash talk Redhat, I will say to you:
    "Get out of here with your..." Redhat "...FUD"

  15. Too much loot on Pedal Your Way Through Quake · · Score: 1

    Damn, this costs $80.00! See for yourself
    This doesn't seem like a product that 'real' gamers are going to be into. Imagine 20 guys with these stupid things playing Quake at a LAN party?!

  20. Re:Does it work with Win2k? on Portable Mini-CD MP3 Player / Burner · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It doesn't (yet) work with Linux, BSD, QNX, or Amiga, it seems...

  22. Open Monopoly... on Software "Open Monopoly" · · Score: 1

    ...is a bit of a misnomer. If OSS starts to have a big market share, or even all of the market, it will still not be a monopoly. No single company will have the sole 'power' over OSS, for example, think of Linux vs. BSD vs. AtheOS etc. Don't forget Redhat vs. Caldera etc. Definition (stolen from dictionary.com): Exclusive control by one group of the means of producing or selling a commodity or service: "Monopoly frequently... arises from government support or from collusive agreements among individuals"
