  1. Re:The new Mozilla does not have MNG support! on Three New Releases (And Other News) From Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Didn't the LWZ GIF patent expire a few years ago anyways?

  2. Re:UNIX is dying? on Interview with Havoc Pennington of Red Hat · · Score: 1

    The is this company called SCO that would sue Sun if they would GPL Solaris.

    It will never happen.

  3. GC 2 on Has Nintendo Lost Its Edge? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The only way I can see Nintendo taking the lead over Microsoft with it's next generation console is if the GameCube 2 can play GBA games without a GBA pluged-in. (By having a carthroge slot on the side and the regular CD player for GC & GC2 games) The GBA game library is so huge that all of a sudden, your console could play them all from the day of it's release AND have access to regular CG games.

    It's so obvious that this is a wining strategy IMHO.

  4. missing the point on HP Drops Gnome 2 Efforts · · Score: 1

    Yuo're missing the point. GNOME on HP-UX is not targetted at the desktop segment of the market. HP-UX and the platform(s) it runs on is used for either very specialized worstation applications or server stuff. HP will continue to ship it's OS with a deskyop interface for their costumers. It'll just be CDE insead of GNOME.

  5. INTERNET NAVIGATOR on Firebird Name Debate Enters a New Stage · · Score: 1

    How about Internet Navigator? It's nice, it says what it does and AOL already has the copyright to the Navigator name.

  6. Re:One working label? on Apple Plans to Purchase Universal Music · · Score: 1

    1- Rip
    2- Mix
    3- Burn
    4- ???
    5- Profit!

  7. Well duh! on REST vs. SOAP In Amazon Web Services · · Score: 1

    Geeks prefer to rest than to use soap.

  8. Re:Sharing is the point on New Mozilla-based Mail Client: Minotaur · · Score: 1

    This is not a COM component but a bunch of regular DLLs. To my knowledge, dynamic libraries, hum... actually, I'm not sure if dynamic libraries run in their own address space (out of process).

  9. Re:Extensive template use is dangerous on C++ Templates: The Complete Guide · · Score: 1

    Templates and the STL are implemented in GCC and GCC is ported to all the platforms I know of. It's the lowest common denominator of C/C++ compilers.

  10. What?? on BusinessWeek on Wi-Fi · · Score: 1
    From one of the artivles:

    "Former Napster aficionados are wirelessly linking their PCs to their stereos to better enjoy their MP3 collections."

    And how are they doing just that? Is there some kind of WiFi gear I can plug in my Amp's audio input? ... fooling it that it's receiving a signal from a CD/radio/tape or something?

  11. Re:No evidence from the PHP-basher on Number of Jobs by Programming Language · · Score: 2, Funny

    Probably all the morons who have overtaken this site for a while now.

    Wanna mod me down? Go ahead asshole!

  12. Re:Just use Anjuta on GNU Christmas Gift: Free Eclipse · · Score: 2

    The point of Eclipse is that it's written in Java and is therefore cross-platform. Eclipse is also a java widget toolkit that's made to look like a native app on whatever platform it runs on.

    The Eclipse framework serves the same purpose as Swing. The Eclipse project is much more than an IDE.

  13. Re:The W3C is a joke on W3C Releases Drafts For DOM L2 And More · · Score: 1

    It's better for the W3C to release specifications early on than to have each vendors wait for it, and in the mean time, develop their own proprietary solutions. Browser developers are much lees likely to roll their own proprietary specifications if they can just read a W3C one and worry only about the implementation details.

  14. Re:Now would be the time for Apple to step in... on Corel Cuts 220 Jobs to Save $12M · · Score: 1

    Apple doesn't have $20M to burn. 2003 will be financially rough for apple until IBM releases the PowerPC 64bits.

  15. Flawed logic on Cheating at Seti@home · · Score: 1

    If enough cheaters submit faulty WUs, what's to say the those WUs were not supposed to return positive results? If all the people who double-check a result are cheater, then it's likely that if there is an alien signal to be detected out there, it may have gone unnoticed.

  16. Re:Probably a misquote on Financial Institutions Balk at MS Licensing · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's even easier to stop auto updates than that. For example, after installing Win2k SP3, MS install a new "Automatic Updates" NT service. There's a safe bet this is the programm that does the updates... so all you have to do is configure it to "Disabled" and voilà!

  17. Re:dude, where's my cpu? on China Develops Their Own CPU: The "Dragon Chip" · · Score: 1

    What's the movies's title? I'm sick of reading that joke and not understanding.

  18. Re:Is it really lean? on Mozilla Jumps on 'Lean Browser' Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    He said 20 Mb of RAM.

  19. Re:Overstating the Advantage? on Fin-Fet Transistors on the Horizon · · Score: 1

    In any case, this is bound to make overclockers drool :)

  20. Re:I don't need no stinkin' Wizards!!!! on Layoffs at WotC · · Score: 1

    Farscape is not dead. Season 4 will continue in January. Farscape

  21. Re:Canadian diamonds on Diamonds - Are They Really Worth the Cost? · · Score: 1

    Wasteland to cityfolks but apparently not for the natives who live there, not to mention the whole ecosystem.

  22. Re:8.0 Uses Gecko on AOL Releases Client for Mac OS X with Gecko Browser · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly, the agreement with MS ended a few months ago and AOL no longer has an icon on the winXP desktop (haven't installed XP so I'm not certain).

  23. Re:I don't think so... on Et Tu Brute? EMI to Sue AOL Over Musical Infringement · · Score: 1

    "Et tu Brute?"

    Slashdot now has i18n compliant typos.

  24. YOU are the dolt! on Andreessen on the Browser Wars · · Score: 1

    [Read before moderating, this is not a flamebait]

    Guess what, the interviwer's question was *what if* Opera was Open source and had a huge market share, would it make a difference?

    He was using Opera as an example because Andreseen told the guy that he wouldn't comment on MS's antitrust lawsuit because MS is a partner to hir company. If it's any consolation, you're obviously not the only dolt around bacause all the people who answered you and moderated you up didn't get it either.

  25. Re:Yet another engine ruined by the GPL... on OGRE GPL'ed 3D Engine · · Score: 1

    FYI, the Quake 1 & 2 engines can be licensed from Id for 10000 USD and you can keep the whole thing closed.
