  1. Re:why can't he use GMail? on Why the FBI Director Doesn't Bank Online · · Score: 1

    10% does not seem like something to brag about.

  2. Re:containment theory... on Iran's Nuclear Ambitions · · Score: 1

    Maybe because they did not sign the treaty in the first place and thus cannot be held responsible for not following it?

  3. Re:From the license... on Behind Menuet, an OS Written Entirely In Assembly · · Score: 1

    ...Nothing a find and replace wouldn't solve.

    Informative? More like Too Much Information...

  5. Re:Adblock for Chrome -- Use SwWare Iron "Chrome" on A Closer Look At Chromium and Browser Security · · Score: 1

    This actually happens to me using FireFox - though perhaps due to the computer having a decent processor (Core 2 Duo) it is fast enough that it isn't a bother.

  6. Re:IMAX? on Visualizing Data Inside the 30-ft Allosphere · · Score: 1

    Not IMAX - OMNIMAX or IMAX Dome.
    See IMAX Dome.

    One standard, starched, American flag... Oh. Shit.

  8. E-Discovery? on U.S. K-12 Schools Must Comply With e-Discovery Rule · · Score: 5, Informative
    For those (like me) unaware of this terminology: (from TFA)

    September 2005 updates to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) require that electronic documents -- including e-mail and perhaps even instant messaging logs -- be available as evidence in civil court cases. Observers note that widespread enforcement of the rules will likely begin by the end of 2007, a year later than expected (see "New e-discovery rules go into effect in December ").
  9. Protected from Commercial Exploitation? on Anatomy of the Linux Kernel · · Score: 3, Insightful

    From TFA (emphasis mine): "Linux quickly evolved from a single-person project to a world-wide development project involving thousands of developers. One of the most important decisions for Linux was its adoption of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Under the GPL, the Linux kernel was protected from commercial exploitation, and it also benefited from the user-space development of the GNU project (of Richard Stallman, whose source dwarfs that of the Linux kernel). This allowed useful applications such as the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and various shell support." Tivo?

  10. Re:Help! I'm confused on Microsoft and LG Electronics Sign Linux Covenant · · Score: 0

    Though there is no apparent way to be sure, I would presume that these companies have access to more information than the general public. Otherwise, it would not make sense that so many (and probably more soon) would enter into this kind of a agreement with MS. Either that, or the agreement was discussed and possibly agreed upon in some form before this invisible-patent-waving became an issue.

  11. Next up: massive cave found on... on Massive Cave Found on Mars · · Score: 4, Funny

  12. Re:relatively excellent? on Pro Drupal Development · · Score: 1

    Presumably, 'relatively' would refer to the other CMS products available. So the documentation should be excellent, relative to the other CMS solutions.
