  1. Consider Common Lisp on Free Software for Chemical Process Simulation? · · Score: 1

    You made me remember I had this project 17 years ago. Now I would use Common Lisp as my programming language of choice for such a project. It takes time to grok, but it is worth the effort.

  2. Re:Then test outside the USA on Online Testing Patented · · Score: 1

    What do you mean? Of course it does! But regarding patent issues, things are not that easy for them. Software patents for instance, "bussiness practices" patents too, neither can be enforced in my country. Now, from the copyright law front, DMCA like laws are being passed everywhere, including my country. If we didn't please the USA government with the approval of the law, we would have sufferd commercial sanctions. Sigh.

  3. Then test outside the USA on Online Testing Patented · · Score: 1

    Avoid USA jurisdiction regarding servers, clients and networks, and you're done. oo Either if you do bussiness with it, or just do it (online testing) for fun, no one can prevent you from testing online outside that country. oo

  4. Vibration is worse on What's Worse for Hard Drives: Heat or Vibration? · · Score: 1

    Vibration is something you may want to avoid as much as possible. Heat isn't such a problem with disks IMHO. You might have to worry though if you live in a country where environmental temperatures are 30 or more degrees C.

  5. Re:worthless on The Always-Encrypted Firewire Hard Drive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This can be useful for hard disk disposal. A previous slashdot story informed about old disks being bought on ebay to be scanned for deleted data. With this encription approach, at least data will be disposed deleted and encripted. For sure, making the work much more difficult.

  6. We at Uylug want Linux free on Update on Uruguay "Linux" Trademark Situation · · Score: 1

    Hi, I'm a member of UYLUG. I'm not a directive. I signed the first Open Letter. I was present in the formal group meeting which was held in order to discuss the TM issue, in early 1999. I voted for the proposal of registering 'Linux' and then transfering rights to Linus Torvalds. Many others like me voted for it. Nobody voted against it. I trust the board of directors, in that they _will_ transfer rights to Linus, as proposed. Maybe someone else doesn't. Just for the record. Thanks. I'm as proud of Uruguay as I'm proud of Linux. Uruguay is a free democratic country. The Uylug is a LUG, which is doing what is needed in order to be recognized legally as uruguayan non-profit organization. We propose to the group and then vote nearly every arising issue. Every Linux user is welcome at Uylug, to get their Linux boxes running, as anyone can check if he/she asks. I like /. Thanks again.
