  1. Re:DUH on Replaced by Outsourcing -- What's a Geek to Do? · · Score: 1

    These are the things that should be brought up in the 2004 election. The US should put heavy tariffs on countries that do not have the same open markets we have, PERIOD!!!!!. Politics is easy, finding a smart politician is hard.

  2. Topic For Election on Replaced by Outsourcing -- What's a Geek to Do? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This should be the main topic for this coming election. But I think America is to wrapped up in other politics to worry about the future of thier jobs. We are so wrapped up in BS we don't see that far into the future. I bet the average american doesn't know where they will be in 2 years let alone how America will be.

  3. Class Action on SCO Code to be Protected in Closed Court · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Lets file a class action law suit agains SCO. They are threating us with no proof. I would guess the EFF might be intrested in this.

  4. Re:Did this really need a seperate story? on Security Experts Doubt SCO's Claims of DoS · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well the only point I can make is that not a lot of people read the comments. The proof I have is groklaw was fine until this story was posted and now it is slashdotted. I am sure the slashdot crew could tell us the % of people that go and read the comments but I would guess less the 20%.

  5. Re:Speculation for Nerds. Hardly matters. on Security Experts Doubt SCO's Claims of DoS · · Score: 1

    If you read the article they explain how they came to thier conclusions. Same subnet other hosts not effected, Syn is protected against in most OSes, and Intranet effected if they had a DMZ how the hell would it effect inside traffic.

  6. Re:SCO sues DDoS? on Security Experts Doubt SCO's Claims of DoS · · Score: 1

    Sco will think of a way!!

  7. Thx for /.ing groklaw. on Security Experts Doubt SCO's Claims of DoS · · Score: 1

    I wasn't finished reading it and had to go back. There it was, a PHP error, then I knew /. had to post the store and yup I was right. :)

  8. Re:Whoever can... on SSC vs LinuxGazette.net Continued · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Another thing you don't know is when they registered the trademark. I read that they registered it the same day the people who write Linux Gazette decided to host thier own web site. If the SSC did it on the same day you can be sure what thier intensions were.

  9. Date filed for Trademark on SSC vs LinuxGazette.net Continued · · Score: 1

    I think if they filed for the trademark right after the fighting started it should not be that hard to win a court case.

  10. Re: the future? on Microsoft to Charge for FAT File System · · Score: 1

    Don't read more into what I said. I know the problems with proprietary technology that is why I prefer open standards. I am not making excusses for the idiots that used the FAT file system. I was saying M$ could have done this years ago when they started instead of waiting until the other companies didn't have a choice.

    Crack dealers work on the same concept.

  11. Re: the future? on Microsoft to Charge for FAT File System · · Score: 1

    They let it go for years and let a ton of companies adopt it then decided that they wanted licenses for it. That is BS and that is using their monoply to further profit. It is wrong and probably even criminal.

    But I am sure you will come up with an excuss for my point too. Some people can justify anything.

  12. Rename it!! on SSC Trademark Threats vs LinuxGazette.net · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just come up with a better name announce it on Slashdot with the URL and all is good. SSC can rot in hell with the "Linux Gazette" name.

  13. Movie Contact on Dusty Disc May Mean Other Earths · · Score: 0, Redundant

    WOW, they found life on Vega in Contact. :)

  14. Re:"It would be bad..." on Caching Torrent files in DNS · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you read it you have to add a zone so it is not forcing anyone to do anything.

  15. Re:WTF? on Could Google Be SCO's Next Big Target? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I would have to say that not knowing the IP was in Linux before installing it does not make you at fault. Just because you buy a paper that someone plagerised does not mean you're at fault. I agree you would have to get rid of the product ASAP but I dont think you can be held liable for past use.

  16. What Version on Could Google Be SCO's Next Big Target? · · Score: 1

    They might run 2.2.x. God do I hate SCO.

  17. e-Sex??? on AT&T Sues PayPal and eBay for Patent Infringement · · Score: 2, Funny

    So what does this mean for the String Theory?

  19. Corporations!!! on Apple Claims Ownership of Shareware · · Score: 0

    Got to love them.

  20. Pictures Wrong on The Elegant Universe, Now Available Online · · Score: 0, Troll

    I think the pictures between chapter 2 and 3 should be switched. You don't even see chapter's 2 picture in chapter 2. I guess I need to email webmaster@pbs.org.

    Well there is one more idiot, the one that modded you funny. :)

  22. Re:Interesting indeed... on SCO Will Pay You Not to Use Linux · · Score: 1

    Good come back. The question I ask everyone is what technology was Microsoft not behind on? Like the web browsing Netscape was out way before IE. Database they had to buy Sybase to compete with Oracle. NOS, Novell was killing them. iTunes is the lastest one. There are a ton I thought of more then 20 one day.

  23. Re:It Gets Worse on Software Installation/Update via Internet Patented · · Score: 0

    Well if this was true there are alot of open ideas that could be pantented. I am sure no one has ever pantented e-mail, Internet chat. I am sure prior art means more then just pantented prior art or that swing pantent would have stayed on the books.

  24. Re:Distrubited Blacklist on Trouble Getting to SpamCop? · · Score: 0

    What pointing out that companies that make over 100 billion dollars use blacklist prove you're right, then WOW!!!!, you want a job? I have an opening for a Unix Admin that needs to be open minded like you. Please fax me your resume.

  25. Re:Distrubited Blacklist on Trouble Getting to SpamCop? · · Score: 1

    Well most of the corporate world doesn't agree with you but thats alright. Just becuase you had a bad experience with a blacklist doesn't make them all bad.
