  1. Re:Sweet... on Mozilla 1.5 Alpha Available · · Score: 1

    I won't go there anyway. 'Buy' some music with crappy DRM built in ? Not bloody likely.

  2. I wonder if it would be possible... on Southeast To Start Video Monitoring Flights · · Score: 2, Funny

    To copyright your face ? Then you could charge companies like this a royalty for videoing you.

    It seems Rumsfeld wasn't at all concerned about WMDs in the 80's:

    Most glaring is that Donald Rumsfeld was in Iraq as the 1984 UN report was issued and said nothing about the allegations of chemical weapons use, despite State Department "evidence." On the contrary, The New York Times reported from Baghdad on March 29, 1984, "American diplomats pronounce themselves satisfied with relations between Iraq and the United States and suggest that normal diplomatic ties have been restored in all but name."

  8. Re:The White House didn't pay the paper boy? on Howard Dean to Guest Blog for Lawrence Lessig · · Score: 1

    So, the fact that Saddam exists proves that WMD exist ? Where did you study logic ?

    ...by giving buyers of their own stuff the right to download the MP3s on the spot so they can listen to the music while their CD is in the mail...

    That's hardly a new idea, mp3.com already does this.

  11. What ?!?!? Impossible on Mozilla 1.4 RC3 Is Out · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    Mozilla is dead ! I read it on suck.com !

    You are all crazy !

  12. Basic ? on Microsoft Flouting DOJ Settlement? · · Score: 1
    You were lucky ! I wrote my very first program on a Nascom 1. In COBOL. It was a bucket and ball game, and I still remember the syntax to make it beep:


    DISPLAY BELL

    And see my sig...

  13. What is the problem ? on AOL Pulls Nullsoft's WASTE · · Score: 1
    Just re-release it on sourceforge.net or freshmeat.net.

    It's not like AOL is the only place to release software !

  14. Re:F sharp or F hash? on Inside Microsoft's New F# Language · · Score: 1

    I've also seen it translated as 'gate'. So it would also be 'f-gate'.

  15. Re:After the lawsuit, ... on SCO Claims Linux Sales After Suit Irrelevant · · Score: 1

    It's more likely the result of the $1 billion that Microsoft are paying them to license SCO's IP.

  16. Re:I think my Zaurus SL-5500 rates as "cool" on Survey of Linux-Based Gadgets & Devices · · Score: 1

    Also cool is to run Doom (prboom) on it. I've amazed a few people showing them that.

  17. Microsoft to buy SCO on What if SCO is Right? · · Score: 1
    Read about it here.

    I wonder how this will affect the case ?

  18. Re:If this case had any merit... on What if SCO is Right? · · Score: 1
    Why wouldn't Microsoft be eyeing SCO for a buy-out?

    Unfortunately they are.

  19. Re:but "wince" on New Sharp Zaurus SL-C760/C750 Linux PDAs · · Score: 1

    Probably the reason why MS changed the name from WIN CE to "Microsoft Powered" ;-)

  20. Re:Prevent attacks? on Windows Security Through Annoyances? · · Score: 1
    I wonder how MS will handle cutting and pasting information between secure and insecure windows? Or even between secure windows, for that matter?

    You won't be able to. MS have already said they will make it 'impossible' to cut and paste from secure applications.

  21. No problem on Shuttle Politics · · Score: 3, Insightful
    I am sure the Russians, Chinese, and the EU will step in to fill the gap if the US gives up on manned spaceflight.

    Plus there will probably be a few private companies doing the same thing over the next decade or two.

  22. Hmmm on RIAA Nightmare: Pro-level Portable Hard Disk Recorder · · Score: 1
    Plug a microphone into my Zaurus, record a wav file onto CF or SD ram. Then when I get home, upload the wav to my desktop and burn it onto a CD.

    I can do all of this already. So what's so great about this new device ?

    Hmmm well, let's see what the District of Columbia had to say then, shall we:

    91. Although Netscape declined the special relationship with Microsoft, its executives continued, over the weeks following the June 21 meeting, to plead for the RNA API. Despite Netscape's persistence, Microsoft did not release the API to Netscape until late October, i.e., as Allard had warned, more than three months later. The delay in turn forced Netscape to postpone the release of its Windows 95 browser until substantially after the release of Windows 95 (and Internet Explorer) in August 1995. As a result, Netscape was excluded from most of the holiday selling season.

    after much hacking around, you finally persuade this new machine to run Kazaa. You double click on the app, and suddenly the phone rings..."Hi, this is Hilary Rosen of the RIAA.
