    Or just use a better OS that doesn't require endless tweaking to be usable?

    The Slashdot editors are incompetent. That really is no excuse, but it's the reality of the situation.

  4. Re:The rift supports OSX... on Vendetta Online Becomes the First MMO To Launch Support For the Oculus Rift. · · Score: 1

    TFA doesn't say the Rift doesn't support other OSes. It in fact says the opposite:

    - For the moment, our Oculus Rift support is limited to the Windows version. The Rift device itself does support Mac and Linux, but we have not as of yet. Again, this is just a first-generation implementation, and as always you can expect us to refine and expand it to other platforms as we move forward.

    Special hardware? Never heard of MMX or SSE?

    His view of "most programmers" seems to be limited to the hipsters he meets at Starbucks that own MacBook Pros.

    Hipsters don't learn C. It's too hard for them.

    So then he is saying nothing even remotely insightful or warranting a front page story?

  9. Re:Who the f*** is he? on Ingy döt Net Tells How Acmeism Bridges Gaps in the Software World (Video) · · Score: 2

    You shouldn't.

  10. Re:Will they support Linux now? on Vendetta Online Becomes the First MMO To Launch Support For the Oculus Rift. · · Score: 1

    I believe they were probably referring to incorrect editorial added by Unknown Lamer stating that the Rift was supported only on Windows.

  11. Re:Where is the burden of proof? on MediaNet Sued for Licensing Unlicensed Songs · · Score: 1

    Also you even quote from the first email asking about the licensing contract with respect to her music. How can you be confused that the email chain was about the licensing agreement? Again, you're either extraordinarily dense or dumb since it's plain English what was under discussion.

    Anise = since. Stupid phone autocorrect...

  13. Re:Where is the burden of proof? on MediaNet Sued for Licensing Unlicensed Songs · · Score: 1

    Yes I did. The termination is the very last email dated February 10, 2005 from Exhibit C as pointed out in the quote I posted. It seems you're either intentionally being dense or stupid since it's quite clear what they were refering to. MediaNet seemed to have understood as well anise they stopped paying royalties after it was sent.

  14. Re:Where is the burden of proof? on MediaNet Sued for Licensing Unlicensed Songs · · Score: 1

    This guy didn't read the complaint and isn't going to admit he was wrong. He claims to have read the complaint yet makes claims that are directly contradicted by what is in the complaint itself

  15. Re:Where is the burden of proof? on MediaNet Sued for Licensing Unlicensed Songs · · Score: 1

    Yes that was the notice. Again you didn't read the complaint fully.

    Quoting from page 5:

    Plaintiff's representstion ... sent to MeriaNet written notice of Plaintiff's intention to terminate the License agreement on February 10, 2005 (the "Termination Notice"). (A true and correct copy of the Termination is attched hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by reference).

  16. Re:What are the damages? on MediaNet Sued for Licensing Unlicensed Songs · · Score: 1

    Nope. The law states no such thing.

  17. Re:What are the damages? on MediaNet Sued for Licensing Unlicensed Songs · · Score: 1

    And I never said that.

  18. Re:Where is the burden of proof? on MediaNet Sued for Licensing Unlicensed Songs · · Score: 3, Informative

    There were multiple pages of back-and-forth communication in the complaint. You clearly didn't read it all.

  19. Re:What are the damages? on MediaNet Sued for Licensing Unlicensed Songs · · Score: 1

    It's per work.

  20. Re:What are the damages? on MediaNet Sued for Licensing Unlicensed Songs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's going to be quite hard to weasel out of the fact that they conveniently stopped paying her royalties right after date that the termination notice was sent as documented in the complaint and yet claim at the same time that they never received such a notice.

  21. Re:Where is the burden of proof? on MediaNet Sued for Licensing Unlicensed Songs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If not, MediaNet will probably say "hmm, we have no record of it, looks like it got lost in the mail", with probably little or no paper/electronic trail to contradict that, aside from them collecting royalties on the playlist and not distributing that to the artist.

    No, they have a clear paper trail of emails between them and MusicNet. It's in their complaint. Yeah, yeah. You didn't RTFA.

  22. Re:What are the damages? on MediaNet Sued for Licensing Unlicensed Songs · · Score: 1

    if the perpetrator was some dude in a basement and had sold the songs and lied about the license then that dude would be on the hook for tens of millions

    No, they would be on the hook for the same amount. $18 million for 120 songs is $150,000 per song. $150,000 is maximum statutory damages.

  23. Re:KDE and Gnome are still comparable on The Last GUADEC? · · Score: 1

    Qt is much more than UI framework.

  24. Re:They shot themselves in the foot on The Last GUADEC? · · Score: 1

    Well, at this point LGPL 2.1 is a perfectly fine commercial option.

    Except if you develop for any of the platforms that only get support under the commercial license. LGPLv2.1 is fine for linking code with proprietary, but the commercial license from Digia encompasses far more than just a proprietary-friendly license.

  25. Re:They shot themselves in the foot on The Last GUADEC? · · Score: 1

    In what way? Qt is multi-licensed as LPGLv2.1, GPLv3 and commercial. How is GTK+ "better"?
