  1. ASM on Apple Developer Profile Changing? · · Score: 1

    I'm currently a CS undergrad. When we first learned assembly it was in MIPS using spim. In our Systems class we had to learn x86 for decompiling and reverse engineering, but you could always run objdump on any x86 machine and read the file where ever. Of course in compilers we used sparc assembly. I never have had the oppurtunity to use PowerPC assmebly in classes, but luckily it is a RISC lang so not to difficult to parse.

    What's my point.... Anyway we don't have and x86 bias here.

    From WordNet (r) 1.7:
    pro bono
    adj : done for the public good without compensation

    This is not what boises & co. are doing. Pro bono is what Eben Moglen does for the Free Software Foundation. Compensation only when you win is what slip-and-fall ambulance chasers do.

  3. Re:But they did sell it on Gobe Productive To Be GPLed · · Score: 2, Informative

    If I add features to an FSF GPL'd program, I'm doing volunteer work for the free software community and it makes me happy. If I add features to a BSD-licensed program, I become an unpaid employee of anyone who feels like forking the code--I don't find that so attractive. If I add features to Gobe Office, I possibly become an unpaid employee of just one company, Free Radical. Once again, life's too short for that.

    You don't have to sign over your copyright of your contributed portion of code. They may ask you to do so when they add the patch to their development tree, but you are under no obligation to do so under the GPL.

  6. Reverse engineering is an inalianable right. on Slashback: Cheats, Entries, Loki · · Score: 1

    It seems ubsurd to me that just because the aibo has encrytion protecting the binaries, it is illigal to reverse engineer it.

    I guess this is old news...

  9. Why Is this only in Real format? on Open Source Convention 2001 Wrap-up · · Score: 1

    This being an open-source convention, why are they using a proprietary player?

  10. Where is dotGNU in this? on Slashback: Mono, Names, Locking Up · · Score: 3

    I haven't seen any mention of dotGNU in any of this talk about .NET.

  11. A little bit of bash color. on What Does Your Command Prompt Look Like? · · Score: 1

    PS1="\[\033[1;33m\]\# \h:\W>\[\033[0m\]"

    Also truncates the path.

  12. The Sad part is this is all a lie. on Intellectual Property and a Censored Slash Site? · · Score: 1

    I work for the University of Utah. This person was removed from ASUU because he was a hothead and consistently caused conflict. His concern over censorship never appeared until this slashdot story. He was investigated after a threatening 'anonymous' message from his home machine. It was not spoofed by "script kiddies". When he was confronted about this he immediately blamed his wife.

    It makes me sad that he would exploit an important issue like censorship to cover for his juvenile activities.

    And lieing to /. on top of everything else. shame shame

    LimeWire sucks because there is no source code. Also this.

  19. Re:Gnu Visual Debugger on What Debugger Is Best For Multithreaded Apps? · · Score: 4

    Or you could try ddd
    If you need a visual dbugger. It acts like gdb, which I already love, but adds a visual edge that gdb alone doesn't have. When I am really stumped with gdb, I go to ddd.

  20. This is bullshit on Themes Removed At Apple's Behest · · Score: 1

    You can't possibly justify removing personal modifications to an windowing environment from a community website.
