  1. Re:It's just word!! on Supreme Court To Hear Microsoft-i4i Case Monday · · Score: 2

    ...both of which not only out perform Word but do a better job as a word processor.

    Anything beyond a spell checker is excessive bloat.

  2. Re:score;mynutswon armband of the unarmed unchosen on Supreme Court To Hear Microsoft-i4i Case Monday · · Score: 1

    You know, that made sense?...

  3. If the process is corrupted on Supreme Court To Hear Microsoft-i4i Case Monday · · Score: 1

    They're all invalid. Every last one should have to go through it again... and again.. until they get it right.

  4. Still beats the hell out of bittorrent on FTP Is 40 Years Old · · Score: 2

    With ftp I can download whole folders with boatloads of files and more folders, and the rest my network stay up just fine. Transfer speeds are top notch. It lets other traffic through.. Bittorrent? I might put it on when I crash for the night.

    ftp through a nice private tunnel.. hasn't failed me yet..

  5. Re:And this 'SILK' codec? on Next-Gen Low-Latency Open Codec Beats HE-AAC · · Score: 1

    ..validates patents?

    You conveniently left out software...The whole point of the summary was to state that this codec is not patent encumbered. I'm pointing out that, while the license offered up is very nice, the codec is still patented, and that should raise alarms.

  6. Re:And this 'SILK' codec? on Next-Gen Low-Latency Open Codec Beats HE-AAC · · Score: 1

    Maybe my main issue that it validates software patents. Regardless how generous the license might be, I would prefer that not happen.

  7. Re:And this 'SILK' codec? on Next-Gen Low-Latency Open Codec Beats HE-AAC · · Score: 0

    It stil appears that Skype can call a halt to further development by Opus at any future date. I wouldn't want to take that chance.

  8. Re:Technically... on Next-Gen Low-Latency Open Codec Beats HE-AAC · · Score: 1

    *danger Will Robinson* SILK is patented, so the summary is somewhat misleading..

  9. Re:And this 'SILK' codec? on Next-Gen Low-Latency Open Codec Beats HE-AAC · · Score: 1

    Just a lot of mumbo-jumbo to me.. I'd stay away. Not safe..

  10. And this 'SILK' codec? on Next-Gen Low-Latency Open Codec Beats HE-AAC · · Score: 1

    Patent free? Or royalty free?

  11. Re:Finally. on Google Sends Repeat Infringers To Copyright School · · Score: 2

    Pffft! The only sensible approach now is an alternative to youtube that's more resistant to this bullshit. Some 'distributed' format maybe. Gotta be encrypted, or at least well hidden.

  12. Re:That's Not How It Works on White House To Drop Details of Cyber ID On Tax Day · · Score: 1

    Buddy, you should hear yourself.. You're in some kind of dreamland where everybody has group hugs during lunch hour. Too bizarre..

    Gee, that all sounds so believable..

    ...You control what personal information is released...

    Sure you do.. And I gotta a stable full of unicorns crapping five tons of gold dust every day. I can't just dump the stuff into the river, you know..

    We are being crapflooded with so many laws and proposals, we can't 'filter' them all out.

    And the whole damn country can be taken down by a media player. Truly fascinating.

  20. 20 July, 1969 on America's Tech Decline: a Reading Guide · · Score: 1

    That is the day the decline began. As soon as those guys touched down, the budget ax started swinging and interest just shriveled up. As if they decided there's nothing left to do.

  21. If these guys were smart on French Hacker Arrested After Bragging On TV · · Score: 1

    we'd have a real problem. Actually I suppose we do. He probably represents 0.01% of the 'criminal community'. Only the dumbasses and patsies get caught.

    Eh, C'est la vie

  22. Re:the Greens support the bill in principle... on NZL Govt Rushes Thru Controversial Anti-Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    It's very easy, and politically expedient, to be all 'strident' on issues where you have no influence, and really do nothing more than create a diversion. In the states, we have people like Kucinich for all that. The moment they become 'necessary' for a vote however, they toe the line like everyone else. The Greens are no different

  25. Re:the Greens support the bill in principle... on NZL Govt Rushes Thru Controversial Anti-Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    They still see file sharing as a crime. They are representing the status quo. Out with the bunch of them... That you might agree with them does not make them right.
