  1. Microsoft Linux is on the way too on Oracle Linux? · · Score: 0

    As it all seams to be about capturing audience, why not? This would surely confuse many and weaken RedHat and other competitors.

  2. Pros will never use Gimp on GIMP's Next-generation Imaging Core Demonstrated · · Score: -1, Troll

    First, I have worked with lots of graphicians and they are pretty picky about the tools they use, given the previous version's reputation Gimp is pretty much doomed so I do not expect this will make much a difference. And secondly, being it open source, one may expect some exploits and worms in it so why bother.

  3. Exited IT long time ago on IT and Divorce? · · Score: 0

    I've graduated as an IT software engineer. Later I realized that there is only a few places where you can feel secure in this industry today. Most of the jobs are "dead-end job" type engagements... I build a small hotel in the hills to profit from winter sky seasons here and so far so good. Even bank manager was ok to lend me money, because he had clear understanding of the business I was about to conduct, something very rare in the IT business these days.

  4. Daja-vu? on Open Source Venture Capitalist Answers Your Questions · · Score: 0

    Damn I am crank today, have to stop smoking...

  5. Spirit of open source on IceWeasel — Why Closed Source Wins · · Score: 0

    There are many people around arguing that IE is stinking pile of shit and needs to be eliminated. In my minority view I would rather have like three major closed source browsers competing, Opera vs Netscape vs IE etc., then one big bloated open source project that undermines competition and now (obviously) discourages new developments. Someone wants to steer Firefox their way and they get slapped by dividing the focus and the base. Looks like there are "some", actually about 5 individuals of Firefox/Mozilla Foundation that heavily $$$profits$$$ from donations and their trademarked material of Firefox brand. Shop full of branded stuff and trademark licencing ??? WTF?? Those guys obviously don't want you to fork off their base or move users to some other sites or god forbid rename and make their own browser.

  6. EU uses Google to decide on EU Rejects Spam Maker's Trademark Bid · · Score: 0

    No shit, Google pwned again.

  7. That damn blogger revealed all sorts of bad *** on Google Code Search Reveals Dark Corners · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Thank you, we all feel more secure now when you dummie Ad$en$e hungry blogger revealed all sorts of vulnerability searches.

    Whole lot of people and businesses can be affected by this. Omg isn't this even prohibited by the law?
    Hope we will not face some unexpected surprices just before this Xmas shopping season. We need our servers running and this is first hand helping the exploiters and haxors. Thx again dude.

  8. Another proof of YHOO mental dilution? on Yahoo's Time Capsule Project · · Score: 1

    Beaming nonsense into the void? It feels a little better to be a GOOG shareholder again.
    No wonder their stock is dropping like a rock.

  9. Fraud is winning? on One Last Spamhaus Warning Before The End · · Score: 1

    e360insight.com is an obvious shell company that covers the true spam sites that are blacklisted by defendant "Spamhouse.org"
    e360 is covering their identity and has no real business that is obvious from their empty homepage and hidden domain owner.

    NETSOL:
    Moniker Privacy Services E360INSIGHT.COM@domainservice.com
    Moniker Privacy Services
    20 SW 27th Ave.
    Suite 201
    [e360 uses privaci moniker]


    Is even more obvious that "Spamhouse.org" (unfortunate name) only provides listings of possible spammers (that is continually updated and verified).

    Such a twisted ruling may spawn way a for even more spammers to get removed from such a lists and end up with a dirty prize money. Unbelievable, unbelievable... really. Sue back guys. And HTF they can even seize domain name??? Where is this world f**** going to.

  10. Global warming is a lie on Mass Extinctions from Global Warming? · · Score: 0, Troll

    They promised us summers like in California. This year was the coldness summer in my entire life, this is simply unacceptable, we in the north are unfairly treated environmentally speaking. We need to pump more CO2 into atmosphere. Go buy a Hummer.

  11. Another fake news? on U.S. Commerce Department Hacked Again · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There is no source cited etc. no example shown, no logs etc. only that "new york post" said that. If true, is that department admiting idiocy? Even simple rule on the router that restricts whole **ina IP block to only certaing data resources could do the job. Keeping us scary they want. Fear agenda again?

  12. open software makes proprietary software buggy on Bug Hunting Open-Source vs. Proprietary Software · · Score: 1

    Quality in closed source projects is declining due to predating open-source projects. Money is not being made in closed-source projects anymore so wages are declining, people are getting fired and ultimatelly quality suffers. Nearly all healhy closed-source firms are threatened or in the phase of being liquidated by predating open source projects. There is no point of starting a new closed-source proprietary project anymore, even if you start one then there will be a new o.s. project soon to wreck it. The more successfull you are then the possibility that some german student will start getting busy on sourceforge.org is even higher.

  13. ARPA involvement on Creating Water from Thin Air · · Score: 1

    Now hope they will not lock-down the technology for them exclusively.

  14. Re:How to waste someone on U.S. Government Crippled by Sex, Gaming Sites · · Score: 1

    Thank you sir, but I am hitting the point that accusing someone of anything based on some computer logs should be banned. There is no way to proof that those logs were genuine and not a fake, staged by trojan or some third person.

  15. How to waste someone on U.S. Government Crippled by Sex, Gaming Sites · · Score: 1

    That is excellent for firing that annoying dude in the office next door. When he is off.. surf to couple of really bad porn sites on his computer and then ring the inspection. Now he is wasted for good. Jeeez is it that simple?

    Well, that is pure evil, but kinda unpreventable :-(.

  16. Give them all the toys and all the time to play on No Video Games on School Nights · · Score: 1

    I solved it by buying my son Playstation 2 with all the major games available at the time and also big plasma screen, then I allowed him to play all those games for all the time he wanted, after two month or so he got bored. He saw everything, he played everything so there was nothing new or unexplored there, unsuprisingly after that treatment he is not so interested anymore.

  17. They play with fire on IE Used To Launch Yahoo IM Clickfraud · · Score: 1

    Those click-frauders can be traced back and personally identified because they have to run "websites" to generate revenue from those clicks. So their personal "income" address (to send paychecks) is in the Google Adsense (available), once identified they can be brought to justice by Google (if only Google ever really wanted to combat them). More scary scenario is that they can virtually destroy any small-midsized website business if they target it with these botnets. Google may cut them from Adsense and red flag them (innocent website owners may not even know about being targeted). And bye bye website. The core of the problem is that Google is irresponsibly allowing those fake and obvious fraud made-for-adsense websites to flourish.

  18. Real life implications on RNA Interference Leads To Nobel Prize · · Score: 1

    Please could you cite any real implications, but I mean real (that even average /. folk can grasp) because saying Experiments could now be done in a few days for a few hundred dollars that really sound like scientific blur agenda. What are you regulating with that "iRNA" and what is that for?

  19. Re:Commercialising ? on Patent Case With FOSS Implications · · Score: 1

    No, but you predate on commercial market with a non-commercial product, and thats even worse (at least for the corporations making living out of it) then say if you were competing with them as an equal "combatant" and be subjected to takeover, mutual licensing or other corporate means of taking care of competing business.
