  1. looking down the road. on Star Office 6.0 Source Code GPL! · · Score: 2

    Closely tied into the Star Office Suite is their Star Portal program which is just the network computer model. How much you do you want to bet that making Star Office free, then Open is actually setting up people to buy into their Star Portal program when it comes to fruitation (which I can't possibly see being free)?

  2. if bad licenses... on Are Bad Licenses Good For The Community? · · Score: 1

    if bad licenses promote rework of products to a less restrictive licenses, why is there only one group working on SSH?

  3. the real issue on Criminal Libel, Free Speech And The Net · · Score: 1

    If you disenfranchise somebody to the point where you become their enemy or their classmates become the enemy, then you want to remove them. Columbine did come up. Parents didn't want to send their kids to school until he was removed -- taken from the original article

    and in the end this is the problem that started it all but no one seems to want to address. instead of running legal interferance to get the kid out, shouldn't the community be working on some kind of counseling? and not just for him. from the article it seems no one is willing to admit that that children had anything to do with this. thus remove the problem and it will be ok. does anyone realize that their children may have made the problem? doubtful seeing how we live in perpetial denial. however as long as this kind of environment this like this will continue.

  4. Re:Outdated thinking on A Post-Microsoft World · · Score: 1

    Windows 2000 is the beginning of the end ; its mediocre performance and its failure to establish a strong presence in the server market means that MS will never own the enterprise how long has Win2K been out? maybe a couple of months? a little early to judge it as a failure. like with most things the only thing that can say for sure if this trial has been good, bad, or indifferent, or whether or not Microsoft is about to decline, is time.
