  1. Re:I'm giving odds... on Sun CEO Says ZFS Will Be 'the File System' for OSX · · Score: 1

    So, you really can't do it yet, unless you're a beta tester, but one day hope to? That's somewhat different than "has been doing crap like this for several years now," don't you think?

    C:\>transaction
    'transaction' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    So, how exactly does one roll back changes to a file on an NTFS partition?

    I recently sold my old laptop to a friend, and she asked me to keep Ubuntu on it rather than installing Windows for her.

    You misspelled "I talked her into."

    ...however, it seems the biggest abusers are also those who either write the laws, or pay for the laws.

    This has always been true.

    Why wait. I'm thinking it might be a lot easier to just measure the nickel right here on Earth. In fact, you don't even need to measure it, as someone has done it for us

    But vacuum tubes sound so much better than solid state. Especially in these guys.

    So, you're saying independent thinkers should take your word for it and do what you demand?

  15. Re:All copyrighted works should be held on Linux and OSS to Aid the Library of Congress · · Score: 1

    There's nothing in copyright law that provides for the "poor man's copyright registration" you're talking about, and I don't think there are any cases in which it proved someone the true owner of a copyright. All it proves it that the work was made into a fixed form at some time. It's an easily forged method - you can just mail yourself an unsealed empty envelope, fill it with whatever you want when you receive it, then seal it - and any attorney you're up against will certainly bring that up in the court. If your work is really worth protecting, then filling out the form and paying the $45 (here in the US) is more than worth the cost.

  16. Re:All copyrighted works should be held on Linux and OSS to Aid the Library of Congress · · Score: 1

    You don't have to be a lawyer, and you are mistaken - just look at the Copyright Office website. Simply creating a work in fixed form copyrights it. If you want to be able to prove it in court later that you are the creator of said work, however, it's best to register your copyrights with the Library of Congress. It used to be that you were required to put a copyright notice on your works lest you could lose the copyright, but that's no longer true.

    Of course they blamed Google. Wouldn't you? Google Checkout is simply a clearinghouse for the exchange of funds. It has nothing to do with the shipping. That's entirely the merchant's responsibility.

  22. Re:A replacement for "folder" on Labels Not Tags, Says Google · · Score: 1

    Junction is cool, but only does what it's named for, creating junctions, which are links to directories. There are a few utilities for creating hard links to files in Windows. I like NTFS Link, as it integrates nicely into Explorer, does both junctions and hard links, and is GPLed.
