  1. It solves a problem by cspenn · · Score: 5, Insightful · on Perl Modules as RPM Packages

    I see a lot of posts asking "Why" since perl -MCPAN -e shell is about as straightforward as it can get.

    Obviously, it was created to scratch an itch, so cut the guy some slack. If you don't like it, don't install it. For him, and maybe for others who are new to it all and are just comfortable with one tool, it solves a problem.

    Wouldn't you love to hack this so that it downloads and automatically installs Debian?

    I would. :)

  3. Re:Not much new there by cspenn · · Score: 2, Funny · on Open Source Community Approaches SCO

    Nice! 20%? I wonder if there's some way I can Copyright 1/5th of the English Language regarding credit cards, since I run a credit card site. (prior art doesn't seem to be stopping SCO...) Then I can charge SCO to license business financial language for every crappy annual report they've ever released.

    1. Copyright 1/5 of language.
    2. File lawsuit.
    3. Profit!

  4. Not much new there by cspenn · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Open Source Community Approaches SCO

    Not much new there, except to say that SCO must be using the RIAA's supply of calculators to determine how many lines of code are infringing. There are approximately 30 million lines of code in the kernel:

    And SCO is claiming that 3.3% of the Linux kernel is theirs? From a company that did nothing with Linux until it acquired a GPL distribution? Right.

    I'll believe it when I see it.

  6. In other news by cspenn · · Score: 1 · on Cloning Yields Human-Rabbit Hybrid Embryo

    in other news, political scientists from California claim to have made the first genetic crossbreed between a politician and a jackass and... oh wait... never mind.

  7. Happy Birthday! by cspenn · · Score: 3, Informative · on Debian Turning 10

    Debian is one of my favorite distributions, it's earned a well-deserved accolade for 10 years of reasonably stable operation without all the hype of other operating systems. Stable, fast, easy to use once you're comfortable with its way of doing things... can't love it more than that!
