  1. Canadian online banking on OS-Independent Web Banking? · · Score: 1

    As you use TD, I'm going to assume you're Canadian. And The Citizen's Bank of Canada is completely done online. They're some sort of a subsiduary of VanCity Bank which is a Vancouver bank, which I use for online banking. Now, since Vancity has a really good online system from what I've used, I'm going to assume that citizen's bank uses a pretty similar system and would be worth investigation.

  2. Penguin Darwinism on Mapping The Net And Hunting Down Evil · · Score: 1

    Mutations are a form of evolution, and who's to say that a penguin's swimming power, and pig's ears and an elephant's trunk would not be beneficial in one beast?

    Just imaging the penguin that could swim over to the trough and feed itself peanuts through its nose!

  5. Compatibility issues on The Open Windows Project · · Score: 1

    Okay... dare I ask... do they dare to make it 100% compatible?

    "My open windows just blue screened on me!" would this be good? :)

    hehe. hokay. seriously. this would be a neat idea. make it that much easier for people to port applications back and forth between all the different OSes out there, with this much more research into the windows structure, and all.

  6. Re:Fling on Fling:Anonymous Protocol Suite · · Score: 1

    part of the nature of security is that nothing ever is, until it isn't. And then it is questionable as to how insecure it is.

  8. inclusion on $3000 "Reward" for KDE/Debian Compatibility · · Score: 2

    I think the more important manner for the inclusion of KDE into debian, is that it has to match the file structure standards that debian uses. I have yet to see /opt used by debian for any package.

    I believe Stormix had kde working in specifications that might be useful for this.

  10. Re:This kind of thing will lead to disaster on Controlling Your Computer with Your Brain · · Score: 1

    have you read the article? the research is being done into technology that will take outgoing signals from the brain and interpret them to simple functions like turning on a tv, stereo, and maybe some more advanced things. This is not a bidirectional mind scramble/descramble device.

  12. Re:I thought it was GPL'ed on Get QNX For Free · · Score: 1

    No. QNX isn't GPL'ed, but it has many pieces in it which use the GPL license, and you can get the source to the GNU utilities which are used inside it. Much like Solaris having GPLed utilities that you can download. QNX is comercial, but it uses gcc and GNU development tools.

  13. Can't wait for my copy on Get QNX For Free · · Score: 1

    I remember a year or so ago when I downloaded the QNX on a floppy and I was extremely impressed. They had gotten an http browser, a windowed gui and an httpd all to run loaded into memory and were still able to support a variety of video boards. I signed up for my copy of QNX a couple days ago and can't wait for them to ship.
