  1. Townsend Brown did Antigracity in the 1940s on Practical Gravity Shielding for Spacecraft? · · Score: 1

    There's a patent filed in the early 1940s by Townsend Brown. Research this yourself, go to the patent office website and search on antigravity. That's what that weird dude from Area 51 saw, it's not alien. The technology has been around for a long time.

  2. Unix / Linux will thrive and evolve on The End of Unix? · · Score: 1

    Unix / Linux is made for a distributed networked enviroment. It won't die, it's evolving!

  3. Time to let them know! on USB Forum Becomes Too Greedy? · · Score: 1

    Well we can retaliate in a few ways. #1) Since USB is no longer truly open they should forfeit their award. #2) We should start an OpenUSB.org project, reverse engineer the technology, make the information freely available. We as a community reverse engineered plenty of hardware & protocols, So the USB forum hinders our USB development for a a few months. Well, Perhaps someone all ready accessed the documents from thier web site and cracked a user account, anyway we can take a working win2k box and reverse engineer the USB protocol. We should all send some email to let them know where we stand. And... for the good of the Linux Community let's tell them they must forfeit their prize. GIVE 'EM HELL!

  4. Re:International Software Law Implications on Lobbying Against UCITA: A Practical Guide · · Score: 1

    This Law is LAME! I sent an email to my Selfish, narrow minded, out for himself, deaf, legislature for my county. A government for the people, by the people YEAH right! I'd believe it when I see it! This Bill was probably generated by lobyists for Microsoft. If by some chance this goes through, I suggest we go underground and use an SSL pipe for communication and go underground. Better yet, lets start the SSL tunneled pipe project anyway. Heck , if our internet access is going to be monitored by big brother then we should lay the infrastructure for a secure underground infrastructure now. We should challenge this, they are interfering with the free market. And also trying to kill the TRUE spirit of the internet.

  5. Re:Gnome unstable <- update to the latest and OK! on New Desktop for Linux · · Score: 1

    If your Gnobe segfaults or it takes forever to Start Gnome than you just need to install at least the October 1999 release of gnome and that problem goes away! I had the problem, I fixed it with the new relase. I'm hooked on it. I really like the Gnome applets. Try the weather applet, it's pretty cool!

  6. Here's a reply I got from Connectix! on Playstation on Linux UPDATED · · Score: 1

    Dear Jerry Normandin Thank you for contacting Connectix Corporation. No, that is a rumor. Thanks for letting us know. We may look into it in the future though. Tracking Number: 26848 Agent: Dennis Dubinsky I read on slashdot that you have the Virtual Gamestyation for Linux. Where can I buy it? I've got my own Linux development stations so I won't want to load a new OS. I am running a current OS right now (Mandrake 6.2). Also can you recompile the code so it will run on the linuxPPC machines. I have a G3 with 256MB of ram that I also use to develop code for Linux. What's the reality on this, is this dude right or is he in the dark?

  7. Any OS can be used on Linux Blamed for DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    Gee.. Singling out flexable Operating Systems. Has this guy heard that you can write applications for any OS?

  8. Man Out Of Time - Cool Book! Change History Now! on Tesla: Erased at the Smithsonian · · Score: 1

    Great Book, Great Tune by the group that bore the mans name too. Nikola Tesla is one of my childhood heros, and still is to this day.

  9. Victor needs to go to School and learn what GPL is on Real Time Linux, Now Patented · · Score: 1

    Cool, ok so you let us use your code royalty free. Dude.. you took Open Software and put a proprietary piece of code into the source tree and patented it. What's wrong with this picture? We should all challenge your patent. I'm going to look at the filing on the web. We should all send email and fight this application. If you want to patent code, WRITE YOUR OWN DAMN OS and stop USING OURS!!!!!!!!

  10. CNET is wrong. on Linux Grabs #2 Server OS Sales Spot, NT Still #1 · · Score: 1

    Cnet is backing there numbers on people who buy Linux. When you are "connected" well to the internet there is no need to buy it. You can download it and burn you own CDROM. At least that's what I did!
