  4. http://www.codeplex.org/faq-relationships.aspx on Microsoft Launches Its Own Open Source Foundation · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Q: How will this compare with other open source foundations?

    Other foundations are targeted at particular projects, platforms, or applications, such as Firefox and the Mozilla Foundation, or Gnome and the Gnome Foundation. We wanted a foundation that addresses a full spectrum of software projects, and does so with the licensing and intellectual property needs of commercial software companies in mind. Having said that, we expect the Codeplex Foundation to be complimentary to, and not competitive with, other open source foundations. One measure of our success will be if other foundations experience an increase in participation from commercial software developers because of us.

    Have they not visited www.sourceforge.net???

  5. Verbatim translation on Where Does a Geek Find a Social Life? · · Score: 0

    I have a question for my unfortunate geek-mates, and yes, although everyone have same feelings like me I am the only one with guts to shoot the question. I never left my room, only to stare with my computer screen; there for I have never get laid. Lately I got bored from my right hand ( yes I tried left hand method also but corns on my hands tell the story), I like to use my weener for its right purpose. But I am not sure if it works and if it is how will I get to that point. I am making this sentence to boost confidence of /. readers to increase the possibility to get help, and I know they share the same situation - though there might be some bastards that may be really did it. So I am begging you (for the sake of my cat/pets), is it just a dream or is there any slightest possibility that I get get laid? :)

  10. Re:Install Ubuntu on Configuring a Windows PC For a Senior Citizen? · · Score: 0

    You are correct. Most people start computing with windows. If you have 2 groups of people with no computer knowledge or experience and give one group computer with any linux distro and other windoze you will see that group of linux newbies produce much less problems and also will annoy you with 'how can I....' questions. It seems that linux infrastructure is far more logical that new learners may solve their problems. With windoze there are less 'logical problems'. But in linux 'problems are logical' :).

    My sister has no experience with linux. One day i installed pardus (a turkish distro) but after installation i installed an additional hdd. So when grub tries to load pardus it gives error. So in every startup by pressing 'e' i correct the true hdd number (yes for 5 days I was lazy enough to edit menu.lst :)). One morning my sister phoned me and asked why she cant start windows (you have to correct the xp drive also). She only does IE and msn (and move mouse and click left mousebutton (and gives clicks 'yes' when a dialouge appears (she says that when she clicks yes dialouge annoys you less))). She edited (manage to enter edit mode in grub) and corrected the xp partition (I did not remember the drive letters) and started windoze by phone less than 2 min. It was a small step for mankind but a HUUUUUUUUGGEEEEEE step for her.

    I would rather die than making her use 'cmd' in windoze. Because 2-3 times I had to remote assist her (with tightvnc of course) and I couldnt manage her to get ip address with 'cmd - ipconfig' in half an hour!!!!

  11. after fingerprint and face recognition... on Identifying People By Odor As Effective As Fingerprinting · · Score: 0

    in laptops now we will have a nose on them. in order to smell maye we will have to scratch armpits or feets to them. surely it will smell them good and prevent theft :).

  12. What kind of university is that? on Browsing Frugally Without Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 0

    ---begin reply---

    2.5c for 1MB? 1$ for 40 MB, 10$ for 400MB or ~20$ for 700MB (divx video :)). Does RIAA operate your university? These fees would certainly stop warez imho :).

    Also i guess universities exist for education not making money from students. Does your university have capped connection :).

    Mine didn't charge for me in late 1990s.

    But anything else your question was about limiting browsers extra bandwidth usage.
    So firefox with adblock blocking .swfs and .flvs. also maybe .gifs
    Using lynx (http://lynx.isc.org/) or links (previous post)
    banning all ports but 80,8080 :).

    ---end of reply---

    ---begin calculations for fun---

    hmmm. maybe founding my own university
    only one 10Mb connection ~112.5$/h (assuming many students want to access net)
    two 10Mbs ~225$
    hmmm i'm starting to like the idea :)
