  1. Re:Development Costs? on How Can I Promote Open Source On The Macintosh? · · Score: 2

    I seem to remember there is a GCC module for MPW,
    www.funet.fi/pub/mac/programming/ (read 00Index). this thing (programming FAQ for Mac) might answer some questions too. If you want a MacOS (non-MacOS X), it is always possible to get. - Try search on Google (or any other search engine), and you will find it quickly)

  2. Hmm.. on DoubleClick 'Web Bugs' On Porn, Medical Sites · · Score: 3

    Only thing i can think of here, adding ad.doubleclick.net to /etc/hosts as 127.0.0.1 (or c:\windows\hosts for windows users), or disable image loading. I mean, I don't want some multibillionare patentfreak company to see what pr0n sites I go to, or if I go to any other site. This scares me, because what if they sold that information to other companies - wouldn't it be evasion of privacy?. We haven't agreed to let them spy on us - so let's fight it - either by the solution first, or use lynx ;)

  3. Is it just me or .. ? on Unmaintained Free Software Projects · · Score: 1

    Wasn't http://ufo.sourceforge.net something of the same kind? I think it was slashdotted too.

  4. This worries me.. on Identification By Typing · · Score: 1

    Does it mean that if I break my wrist - so that I cannot write at same speed, that I cannot buy music/things online? Worries me if people make a unix login with authentication like that - I mean, lower WPM will cause incorrect password, what if im tired? --Stskeeps

  5. Haven't we seen this in software business before? on Intel tells Harvard, 'Cover that Mac!' · · Score: 2

    I wonder if Intel has learnt anything from Microsoft - shutting down other machines on events that they "just sponsor", is like Microsoft forcing OEMs to only use IE, and treat them if they want to use Netscape ... Bad attitude Intel .. Will we see Intel bashing companies to use intel platforms instead of f.x Transmeta?

  6. Must say.. on Giant Linux Boost From Washington Post · · Score: 1

    That that ad makes me think of making a quake-style game with tux (oh yeah "kill -9" weapon) running around in the microsoft hqs and shooting down windows servers ;) - Best free ad for linux anyone have seen thou

  7. Re:Does this mean... on Electric Plug 14Mbps Spec Agreed On · · Score: 1

    oh, well atleast I get some messages by it ;) "Plug your fingers in your electric socket and hear from god soon after!"

  8. Does this mean... on Electric Plug 14Mbps Spec Agreed On · · Score: 3

    That I can make my own personal organic echelon by plugging my fingers into the electric sockets? ;)

  9. And.. "why hasn't this.." on Is Virus Spreading Criminal? · · Score: 1

    Why hasn't things like this been included all over the world already? Does this mean in my country I can go around and spread a deadly virus that kills 50.000 people without able to get punished? Problem is, is it illegal for computer students to make those and spread them internally in controlled labs, so they can study the virus and don't harm others? - They should think about those laws at times.

  10. About the win32 part in it on Inside Transmeta · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they were at all surprised that unix ran better than win95 - because unix was pure 32-bit, and windows had 16-bit/32-bit mixed. How can they call it Win32? =P --Sts

  11. IMHO.. on What Will The Internet Of The Future Be Like? · · Score: 1

    I would think the Internet would turn into the matrix, but where its the human that rules it - so people can go on Internet with VR, and visually view all the information and search. With the invention of those lightspeed-memory/CPUs, realistic VR might move a bit more nearer -Sts

  12. Optical Microchip? on Optical Microchip Breakthrough In Canada? · · Score: 1

    This is actually quite a revolution - try imagine CPUs running on the speed of light? gives a couple of ideas about the Future -Sts

  13. My goals... on What are Your Programming Goals? · · Score: 1

    My goals for the future, is to continue with the work I do at the moment - to have fun with coding. I currently develop on making the IRC protocol better - to improve old stuff. My goals are to make a firm which sells (bad word?) IRC-related software (open source), which is still availible open sourced on Internet. This may be the future of open source development, as projects often need foundation and funds to grow larger. Teamwork has grown my project (UnrealIRCd) larger, and we hope to get up and compete against commercial closed-source chat servers. Why so ambitious you ask? Because everyone should be able to have fun and be happy with the work they're doing. I do, and I hope to do so in the future. Maybe improve in UI and support arrays - but concentrate on the communications array - as this may be the way to communicate in the future. -Sts

  14. A thing I wonder about.. on Talk Things Over With Richard M. Stallman · · Score: 1

    This may be a little RTFM, but let us say I'm starting a company which develops open-source (GPL) software. We are selling the software in shops, in a nice box and it costs 25$. It includes documentation, a CD with the program and support. People can distribute the source under terms of GPL, copy the documentation/manuals, but must keep the copyright notice (this is not a opensource documentation license). You can only purchase it online, but after that it's free to distribute and copy etc, without getting marked as piracy, because we want people to spread it. This is a way of commercializing open-source, but not properitarizing it - is this legal according to GPL or? --Carsten Munk
