  1. Re:Hate to break it to them on Copyright Protection Problems For OSS Project · · Score: 1

    ...COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION. ...

    However i am not sure about the part of "11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, " fall under the header of COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION.

    and point 12 also.

    If you run the program you still have no warranty by the gpl license(but support can be provided under a different contract). I think that still is very clear to everyone.

  4. Frequently asked? on A 5-Year Deal With Microsoft To Dump Novell/SUSE · · Score: 2, Funny

    Would the question
    "Novell's November 2 press release states that, "Novell will also make running royalty payments based on a percentage of its revenues from open source products." Are these payments for a patent license to Novell?"

    Really be a question a lot of people made?

    Then why is the question:
    "Is this a trap?"

    Not in there?

    THe point is: the term "FAQ" is used too loosely these days. I bet there are better engrish words for this reports.

    can you search for articles that link to your watchlist articles?

  9. Simulation software available? on Optimizing Page Load Times · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Regularly use your site from a realistic net connection. Convincing the web developers on my project to use a "slow proxy" that simulates bad DSL in New Zealand (768Kbit down, 128Kbit up, 250ms RTT, 1% packet loss) rather than the gig ethernet a few milliseconds from the servers in the U.S. was a huge win. We found and fixed a number of usability and functional problems very quickly."

    What (free) simulation is available for this? I only know dummynet which requires a linux server and some advanced routing. But surely there is more. Is there?

  10. New software. on Nine Reasons To Skip Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Any developer with a large open source base of users knows the following:

    -The new version is always slower.
    -the new version crashes and the previous version did not.
    -There is always more negative feedback than positive.

    This is not always the result of software bloat, but just the result of users wanting to contribute by reporting bugs. An other cause is that change is often not appreciated.

    If from 2 million testers you get a list of 9 bugs where most bugs are hard or very hard to reproduce the Mozilla Firefox team did a good job.

  11. Re:Who's on first? What's on Second? on How the DMCA Protects YouTube · · Score: 1

    Actually... THere is a defense against this caused by the same people.

    Ever notices there are fake files released into the channels? Like file that contain static noise, or have wrong file names, only contain a trailer?

    You cannot determine if you got the file you actually wanted until you downloaded it. Specially porn get retagged a lot! (not that i download that 0-) ). So you cannot determine as a user you are sharing a particular file until you have completed downlaoded it, validated the hash and the filename. So having a not complete file copyrighted can be caused by other reasons.

    guess now who is in the end responsible for the fake files?

  12. Re:Silly Punishment on BitTorrent Site Admin Sent To Prison · · Score: 2


    5 months in prison is a pretty light sentence compared to what he could have gotten. the maximum prison sentence for willful infringement is 5 years (depending on the type of infringement. that's the worst possible case).


    How many months would be spend in prison before he was convicted if he decided to fight it? How many of those 5 months will actually be served (or what has been told to him about that?). Would they really charge him for 5 years if he had decided to fight it? How much would legal representation have cost him?

    I Really would like someone who keeps tracks on this kind of thing to comment on this. Or how this typically goes.

  13. phishers. on Google Under Fire Over Racist Blogs · · Score: 1

    The firefox anti-phishing is from google. How much free speech do you leave for the phishers? or what exactly is a phisher and what is still a business opportunity? Surely there is some fine print somewhere that explains this.

    The point of that story is (beside explaining why there are different languages) That overambitious project that do think man is all powerful might turn the world in a worse to understand place.

    You might solve the language problem, but you will cause other problems.

    Language is also the result of culture. You might make a universal translator/bablefish, but you will still fail to explain thing like spam to people who never have seen a computer.

  15. Windows. on Why Not Use Full Disk Encryption on Laptops? · · Score: 1

    The fact that the windows password is the only thing that is between an intruder and the the encrypted data shows the weak point of windows encrypted folders. If one breaks the windows Password (which is far easier than breaking 128 bit encryption) your encrypted data is in the clear.

    I think most of the full encryption products can be better than that.

    Actually some alternatives for generating energy are already cheaper than oil at it's current prices. However since th oil price can drop it is not a safe investment to invest in those technology just yet.

  20. Re:What does VMWare have anything to do with this? on Oracle 'Losing Patience' with XenSource, VMware · · Score: 1

    Xensource is a business just like vmware. A part of their product portofolio is opensource, but their cooperation with MS shows they are not afraid of closed source. And just because it is open source it is not by definion good, because you will still need their support to active keep developing xen as new OS and hardware that needs to be virtilized keeps ermerging.

    They both offer free (as in beer)and paid/supported products so i cannot see vmware or xensource is more evil than an other. I have no clue what the difference to the linux kernel are and what the pro-cons of the different solutions are, and i bet they are also not clear yet to the kernel devs as well.
