[2001-10-04 23:01:00] - That was a pretty terrible article. The headline states something as fact, but the article only says that some official refused to say anything about this supposed fact. -logan

[2001-10-03 01:23:00] - wolf: I'm suprised.... with all the reading you have done that you can find it easier to read all lowercase vs. mixed.... personally, it makes no difference to me anymore, I read either quite proficiently.... oi, time for bed! -cryptic

~a[2001-10-03 00:47:00] - i understand the need for more symbols in math. i don't see how that is a case for upper case in english though. ~a
[2001-10-03 00:46:00] - logan: i was in greece 6 or so weeks ago. i learned the upper/lower alphabet. plus you deal with upper and lower case greek letters in physics and we used a bunch of greek letters like lower case xi (&xi
and upper case psi (&psi in diffeq. ~a[2001-10-03 00:25:00] - i also read pure katakana or hiragana much more easily than i read mixed-case japanese, so perhaps that has something to do with it. - wolf
[2001-10-03 00:24:00] - a: You'll love math classes where you not only have to deal with upper and lowercase Latin letters, but you'll have to deal with upper and lowercase Greek letters too, at the same time. -logan

[2001-10-03 00:23:00] - Then again, I've done a lot of reading, so dealing with a 52-character set is not a problem for me.
-logan[2001-10-03 00:22:00] - i don't use caps unless i have to write something formal. all lowercase = neat and visually appealing. - wolf
[2001-10-03 00:20:00] - for what it's worth, i like not having caps. - wolf
[2001-10-03 00:00:00] - i don't think logan hates the way you write, but rather that he must be forced to comply with how you write. - mig

-jdb[2001-10-02 23:38:00] - logan: you must hate the way i write - no caps, no apostrophes, etc.

[2001-10-02 23:14:00] - Capital letters resolve ambiguities. Next time a situation comes up, I'll point it out. -logan
[2001-10-02 23:12:00] - and i think instead of visual cues they provide confusion. twice as many patterns to match. ~a

[2001-10-02 23:07:00] - i like whatever it is i'm using in linux if i was using linux instead of having george turned off because my switch broke

[2001-10-02 22:39:00] - kris: me too. mozilla is finally becoming a nice browser though, and that makes me happy. having to use netscape was one of the most painful aspects of using unix.

[2001-10-02 22:05:00] - I agree with logan... I capitalize the correct letters.... but since it's your message board, it's really up to you.... it's not a big deal, I was just wondering =Þ -Cryptic
[2001-10-02 22:04:00] - is there a good reason for capitalization? what purpose does it serve? other than tradition and current protocol, what reason is there for it? ~a

[2001-10-02 21:32:00] - i like ie!! -kris

[2001-10-02 20:26:00] - i really hate ie. it's not my default browser, and i've deleted all access to it, but it still pops up because some programs default any hyperlinks to go to ie. - mig
[2001-10-02 20:04:00] - by the way.... why are caps banned on here? I'd agree that caps lock is annoying, and not allowing any caps is one solution..... but what is the true motive between the no caps rule? -cryptic
[2001-10-02 20:02:00] - yes.... IE.... if you're going to use it.... and you have an installation that works.... DO NOT CHANGE IT! -cryptic
[2001-10-02 20:00:00] - I dont think anyone should be made to have gunlocks on their guns.... although it is a good idea to lock up your guns-cryptic

[2001-10-02 19:25:00] - if you know people carry weapons and you're preparing to commit a crime, you're going to resolve to be more forceful and use force you may have restrained before

[2001-10-02 19:23:00] - there already exists laws that allow people to own, register, and operate guns, there are also laws to allow people to carry weapons.... yet not everyone does it... why? -cryptic
[2001-10-02 19:22:00] - everyone having guns may reduce some people's resolve, but in the other cases it will only escalate violence... and violence does not beget peace -cryptic
[2001-10-02 19:21:00] - if they really believe the world would be better without them, they would kill themselves and you wouldnt be required to 'get rid of them'..... not necessarily saying they should die, just that if they truely believed what they said... they wouldnt be around anyways -cryptic
[2001-10-02 19:19:00] - if guns were allowed on the plane.... the hijackers would not have box-cutters and pen-knives -cryptic
[2001-10-02 17:57:00] - `` ?self defense? is an empty phrase. i can't think of any situation where the best way for one to defend oneself would be by shooting someone in the face - wolf'' Like, say, someone hijacks your flight with a box-cutter or a pen-knife?
-logan[2001-10-02 17:40:00] - wolf: There are probably a lot of people that would make the world a better place if they simply did not exist, but that doesn't necessarily mean we should get rid of them. -logan
[2001-10-02 17:39:00] - jdb: Based on what statistics? -logan
[2001-10-02 17:36:00] - all my guns have gunlocks on them. they wouldn't be very helpful in shooting robbers.
-jdb[2001-10-02 16:51:00] - i think guns are cool (from the mechanical and recreational point of view), but i think the idea of guns offering personal safety is silly... the risks of killing a loved one are much higher than killing a bad person. -jdb
[2001-10-02 16:48:00] - cryptic
[2001-10-02 16:38:00] - i just think the bad outweighs the good. - wolf

[2001-10-02 16:32:00] - "self defense" is an empty phrase. i can't think of any situation where the best way for one to defend oneself would be by shooting someone in the face - wolf
[2001-10-02 16:30:00] - people should have the right to guns, I agree..... but some people shouldn't have guns -cryptic
[2001-10-02 16:30:00] - logan: but how many idiots in that group intend to use their gun to knock over the nearest liquor store?
[2001-10-02 16:29:00] - guns are simply toys. - wolf
[2001-10-02 16:28:00] - the more access the idiots of the world have to guns, the less safe i feel. - wolf
[2001-10-02 16:26:00] - but here in the real world, i grew up in a home with a gun that was not used appropriately. i think that there are a lot of people who should not own guns. - wolf
[2001-10-02 16:25:00] - if i was an idealist, i wouldn't care who decides to own a gun. - wolf
[2001-10-02 16:24:00] - i don't think guns are generally the most appropriate means of self-defense. - wolf
[2001-10-02 16:21:00] - Therefore it's not an argument that you in particular should have a gun. It's an argument that tolerance of others that do want guns might be more productive. -logan
[2001-10-02 16:21:00] - wolf: If the gun culture were more pervasive, then there's a reasonable likelihood that within any group of people in public there's at least one person with a gun that intends to only use it for self-defense. -logan
[2001-10-02 16:20:00] - Er, I left out a 'not' in there.

[2001-10-02 14:40:00] - They allow us to decentralize security, which I'm all for. -logan

[2001-09-30 10:55:00] - also, some gl programs that were installed didn't work, and some more programs broke after i installed mandrake drivers for nvidia. before i installed the drivers anything that i compiled using gl would compile, but it wouldn't run. after i installed the nvidia drivers, it just wouldn't compile at
[2001-09-30 10:44:00] - not having "decent nvidia support" sounded like poor driver support to me, not compiling issues. maybe you're just missing important devel libraries (when you were complaining about no gcc earlier, it sounded like you forgot to select development packages). -jdb

[2001-09-29 12:29:00] - about OS integration -- that's a toughie. linux can ship tons of stuff with the OS, and because of licensing, nobody bitches. when windows, mac osx ship a lot of crap, everyone bitches. i always figured we'd see an integrated ms product with office and windows and a bunch of other crap. -jdb
[2001-09-29 12:27:00] - i agree that office has pretty much hit a feature threshold, except for things that the general userspace would never notice. -jdb
[2001-09-29 12:27:00] - kris: very interesting article. i think, long term, we're going to see more subscription-based licensing, that will include upgrades for free (e.g. $50/year/seat for MS-Word, includes all upgrades, etc.). -jdb

[2001-09-28 16:19:00] - oi
