  1. Re:I have an idea... on Nokia Gives Some Hints On the Future of Qt · · Score: 1

    Sorry for the self-reply - I mean the signaling stack - that is where linux falls short - and not only on licensing.

  2. Re:I have an idea... on Nokia Gives Some Hints On the Future of Qt · · Score: 1

    Better idea - use Symbian as a hard RT hypervisor for linux - and hide the hardware ugliness and binary blobs, while running the whole thing from one core, a good way to pave the way for the linux feature phone.

  3. Re:The other way around... on Debian 6.0 Released In GNU/Linux, FreeBSD Flavors · · Score: 1

    Sounds like someone just needs an apt front-end for pkg_*.

  4. Re:The other way around... on Debian 6.0 Released In GNU/Linux, FreeBSD Flavors · · Score: 1

    Someone please graft a CDDL style per-file clause, and header exemption (for binary modules without ugly wrappers) to AGPLv3, and start pushing it, I'm tired of this licensing schism.

    Better idea - enforce minimum entropy.

  8. Re:You Don't Get to Do Anything Fun Anymore on Sputnik Moment Or No, Science Fairs Are Lagging · · Score: 1

    Not all of us "kids" (that's a bit of an understatement when referring to a 17 y.o.), are incapable. Lacking motivation is another can of worms. We are grown like mushrooms - kept in the dark for as long as possible, fed bullshit mostly, and you expect us to act as something else except parasites. All the comforts in the world (golden cage anyone?) can't replace basic respect and freedom. Think about the job market - if you look reasonably hard enough, you can find a place that suits your specialty, your working hours, the responsibilities you are willing to carry, etc.. Tell me, how does any one school differ from any other one in the equivalent respects? All that schools teach is submitting to authority and building coping mechanisms for it, or so it seems to me.
    Furthermore, the partner market in this age range doesn't help you focus, at all. Humans are hardwired to seek a partner, but frankly, for quite a few years I have only found dreck. I imagine (slashdotter stereotypes aside) I'm not the only one like that. But that brings us back to the first point - raised like parasites, act like parasites, and consequently relationships and other people's lives.
    Sorry about that - had to blow off some steam, but I believ that at least part of my point still stands.

    And that is useful how, exactly?

  10. Re:Java, huh? on Book Review: OSGi and Apache Felix 3.0 · · Score: 1

    That CMS thing - Yahoo! Store. And I somewhat doubt you work in the appropriate niche markets. On the last bit - you're right - though it's a good tool (I might have overstated a bit), but if no one uses it, well, tough... so you are right in a sense. OTOH, I dare you to find a technical limitation that doesn't apply doubly so for another programming language.

  11. Re:Java, huh? on Book Review: OSGi and Apache Felix 3.0 · · Score: 1

    You do know there is flight reservation management software, and web-store CMSes written in LISP, right? And what's wrong with emacs? LISP is pretty much perfect, thing is, everything else is good enough, making them eternal enemies...

    Somebody reimplement token ring for WiFi, FFS.

  13. Re:Hydrogen != Green on Spinach Could Be Used For Hydrogen Fuel · · Score: 1

    And a very inefficient one, at that. At least in general.

  14. Re:Hydrogen != Green on Spinach Could Be Used For Hydrogen Fuel · · Score: 1

    How about NiZn batteries, or better, NiLi. Fuel cells suck for a number of reasons.

    I'm just waiting until Yahoo! buys them, and then get bought by HP.

    This is a tool, with reasonable use in the context you mention - also - I wish you luck.

    Make an Android app, FFS.

  19. Re:Lets kill facebook! Here is how: on Internet Is Easy Prey For Governments · · Score: 1

    Actually, I don't think you need that many RFCs - get with the times, it's all web - a hacked up diaspora that serves up a persistent HTML5 freenet type client, using Web Sockets. A decent web of trust and some sort of DNS over HTTP is all that is needed.

    Trust me, it will. No other transition path exists. Oh, and as v6 geek, I take offense at that statement - actually, I expect us to wind up with a hybrid v6/NAT/v4 network, and FTR, I love NAT - it's exquisitely perverted and yet practical (Disclaimer: when implemented appropriately).

    Not only that - I think it would be reasonable to add a session layer protocol to handle it (SIP anyone)?
