  1. Who owns the code? on The SCO Boomerang and the Strength of Linux · · Score: 1

    The argument then becomes "who owns the code" and you are in a contract dispute.
    IF the code belongs to the developer than the license choice is theirs.
    If the code belongs to the "company" the choice belongs to them.

    All important , who's code is it?

  2. Keeping the motorman on New York Computerizes its Subway System · · Score: 1

    Too bad , riding at the front of the train is kind of cool, at least on the Paris Metro. It may get old but I don't have to ride the Metro everyday, only get to Paris once a year or so.

  3. HD is nice but content matters on Voom No More · · Score: 1

    What good is HD if the content sucks?
    Why would I want to watch bad programing in HD when I can ignore more cheaply in SD?

  9. Set refresh rate higher on Health Consequences of CRT Monitors? · · Score: 1

    Set the refresh rate as high as you can.
    Usually if you can get it above 72hz you wont see/be affected by the flicker. This can vary from person to person. Flicker will cause head aches.

    Basicly you try to get the refresh rate higher than your optical system (eyes/brain) response time. This response time may be at a higher frequency than you notice.

    I used to commute an hour each way, Eugene/Corvallis. Oregon Public Broadcasting kept me sane. Some was book reading, some was news. I can still remember some of the foreign newspapers they got stories from. Far better than not-suitable-for-compost stuff on the other stations.

  22. Re:waste a telemarketers time on VoIP to Fuel Plague of 'Dialing for Dollars'/Spam · · Score: 1

    If the call doesn't interupt anything important, talk to them, the time you are talking to them is time they are not bothering anyone else.

  25. who read the letter? on Harvard Business School: You Peek, You Lose · · Score: 1

    I wonder how carefully harvard checked on who actually read each letter.
    If the guy figured out how to break in did he also figure out how to break in to each account?
    This guy may truly be Harvard material.

    Is this thinking outside the box or what?
