  1. Re:There should be only two options on XP Systems Getting Emergency IE Zero Day Patch · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes, if I own a Magnum, and Dodge refuses to support it, then I should be able to go to somebody who can and will. So, yes, Dodge should lose its exclusive privileges granted by copyright law, absolutely.

    No, but that's how it should work. But the public interest is not what copyright is about.

    You're not making any sense. Anybody is free to update early kernels and any other open software.

    They should support it as long as they hold copyright on it. When the support ends, it should be put in the public domain.

    Either Microsoft continues to accept responsibility for its obsolete systems, or it shall forfeit all copyrights and patents to those systems.

  7. The suspence is killing them on British Spy Chiefs Secretly Begged To Play In NSA's Data Pools · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    They want to find out if the NSA knows who Grace Murdoch's father is.

    Well, to be fair the USPS only scans the outside of every single piece of mail they handle...

    You mean the metadata?

    Use Seamonkey for the familiar Netscape interface you know you want, plus all the other features absent in Firefox, all with the same Mozilla motor.

  14. Re:Can we not have this political bullshit on /. ? on The Koch Brothers Attack On Solar Energy · · Score: 1

    I, for one, would prefer that people talk about the corrupting influence of money on the political process whenever it occurs, so that, maybe some day, enough people will be fed up with it to do something about it.

    Let's also remember who patronizes (sponsors) the NYT editorial board, plied by bickering billionaires.

    They will just have to find another job. Just like the horse carriage people had to find different jobs.

    That's right, and they don't even have to be very different.

  16. Re:Buggy whips? on The Koch Brothers Attack On Solar Energy · · Score: 1

    You would think that the sensible thing to do would be to invest all company profits into developing solar and other renewable energy so that they could become the market leaders in patenting/copyrighting it, thus ensuring that they remain relevant in the future.

    Their power is sustained by scarcity. Abundance destroys economies and social hierarchies.

    They're not demanding from the countries. They're going after Microsoft, which happens to have offices in the US. Either way, those who believe should encrypt their mails. The rest can hide their secret messages in spam.

    That explains the rush to frack, before the sweetheart deal is over.

    There's elections coming up. Vote out the old bums, and vote in some new ones. If you can make the alternatives even sweeter for them, they'll show up at your door asking what they can do for you. At this point though, I still don't know what greases a palm better than oil.

  25. Re:What's the problem? on DC Revolving Door: Ex-FCC Commissioner Is Now Head CTIA Lobbyist · · Score: 1

    If you voted for a democrat or republican then you do approve. If you didn't, then you don't. 98% of the counted ballots indicate full approval. That leaves less than 2% that didn't approve and voted accordingly for somebody different. It is illogical and irrational to vote for something you disapprove of, unless, of course, you are playing the "lesser evil" charade.
