  1. Re:FYI: RMS (HTH) on O-STEP In The Limelight · · Score: -1, Troll

    I have nothing personal against the man, but I could go a day without hearing or seeing a reference to what RMS thinks about something.

    (And I do use Debian, but *horrified gasp* I just call it Linux, not GNU/Linux. Silly me, I didn't know that in the GPL was a clause that said if a majority of the code in your project was GNU not only do you have to release it under the GPL but you also have to call it GNU/<Project Name>)

  2. Re:My faith in SuSE will continue on SuSE may drop out of UnitedLinux · · Score: 1

    I agree, and I don't run SuSE.

    Sometimes it takes actions like this to get the message through to some people. Like corporations. =P

  3. Good. on SuSE may drop out of UnitedLinux · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Good for SuSE.

    Why should they stick around when SCO shoots itself in the foot?

  4. Does bandwidth usage relate to power availability? on Broadband via Power Cables trials in Scotland · · Score: 1

    If so it could be pretty amusing. Suck up a lot of bandwidth downloading porn and lose power to your house!

    Talk about bandwidth limitations!

  5. Enlightenment? on A.I. and the Future · · Score: 1
    Is there a resason this was posted under Enlightenment that I'm just completly missing?

    Or is Katz just trying to enlighten us all?

  6. Re:If libraries were invented today... on Publishers vs. Libraries, round 2 · · Score: 2
    A library does exactly what Napster\Gnutella etc do, or try to do...
    Nice thought, but not exactly correct.

    Napster/Gnutella allow people to pool their resources and all have the file at the same time.

    A library on the other hand allows one person at a time to have access to the material, and then they have to return it to allow other people to use it.

    Sue for what? False advertising perhaps?
    ...
    So I assume that's a caveat emptor.
    Since when have those, or logic for that matter, stopped anyone from filing a lawsuit?

    Yesterday upon the stair / I saw a man who wasn't there.
    He wasn't there again today / Oh how I wish he'd go away.
  8. Will Napster fight back? on Barenaked Ladies Battle Napster (But Not In Court) · · Score: 3

    The question is: Will Napster try to sue BNL for 'abuse' of their system?

    Inquiring minds don't really care.
