  4. weird on India's Secret Army Of Online Ad 'Clickers' · · Score: 1

    most systems filter by IP to certain countires only (i dont think india is a big market) on top of that there are ways to make sure the click is unique ... like hashs of random hardware serials..

  5. Re:OS X Mail on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    for newsgroups i have written a small app called OSXnews looks like Mail.app uses KHTML and supports a lot of the features needed for non-binary newsgroup browsing. It is still a Beta in development but you can find it at : osxnews.sf.net

  8. Re:C'mon now... on Apple and Independent Developers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    actually its done already, its called GNUSTEP . If only the interface got an improvemnt. It woudl be really nice if we got nice modern look like KDE or GNOME.. then there could be Linux/OSX cross platform .app files :) There is a reason why the .app folders keep binaries in a folder listed by architecture .. NEXT used to use this for "cross platform" binaries.

  9. mdk and RH on Red Hat Linux 9 Reaches End-of-Life · · Score: 1

    when mandake died i considered moving to RH then RH died so i tried gentoo and debain only to end up on OS X (though my server runs debian now)

    anyone else here find it ironic that a company that thrives on vionating other people's intellectual property rights is getting angry when given a taste of their own medicine?

    if it makes you happy in my home in the himalayas we have dolphins and lots of shell fossils in the mountisns.

  12. dont laugh on Researchers To Climb Ararat To Seek Noah's Ark · · Score: 1

    im not a christian and i can tell you that the story of noah's ark is not limited to western religions. The same story occurs in hinduism as well (back of agiant fish though). In fact it is one of the few stories i am quite sure must be based on truth simply due to so many accounts of the event.

  14. Re:Privacy is not my main concern with Gmail on Google's Gmail Goes Into Beta for Blogger Users · · Score: 1

    this is slashdot. everything should be free and agreements dont matter unless they are the GPL. What am i hinting at? well notice the apple itunes story near this one? same thing. If you dont like the terms of a service, dont use it. it is as simple as that.
    Someone else using it does not hurt you if they like it and dont care about any "harm" that comes form it, why should you get all worried about it?
    Hmm the way people are talking about Gmail and itunes, you would think they are talking about drugs. You know, its bad, i dont use it you shouldnt either... of course in the case of drugs it is addictive and a life-death thing... i dont know if you can say the same about Gmail and itunes.

  15. Re:This is just not good on Trusted Computing/DMCA vs. Diebold Pentagon Paper · · Score: 1

    but everyone thought the revolution would be in 1970. The Us just lost to the communists in vietnam, soviets winning the arms race and domestic unrest... i wonder what happened.
    keep in mind that the "angry at the US" people are a very small subset of the population. The rest are just democrats. if kerry is elected, the other party will be the angry one and so forth...

    Bochs is not a VM it is a CSIM (complete software interpeter machine) and is EXTREMELY slow

  24. becareful.. on Review Of Serenity Virtual Station · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the i386 aarchitecture is an inheriently non-virtulaizable architecture. The reason for this is the presence of 17 non privileged sensitive instructions. VMware has to modify binary code before executing i386 binaries natively in a VM. Even in that case, we arent really sure what it is they do since it is closed source.

    I would be very very careful with VMs for i386 unless of course i knew exaclty how it was handling those 17 instructions. Just becasue it can run programs does not mean that it is a proper VM or even that it is a secure VM.
    There is a chance you can mess up your machine with theset things.
