  2. FSGS what about that.? on Blizzard, Bnetd Respond on Bnetd Shutdown · · Score: 1

    It does not prevent praicy. It allows people to play Starcraft on the internet. Blizzard is just a regular corparation owned by Microsoft. (Not directly of course)

  3. Re:Tyrrany of the Majority on UK House of Lords Rejects Anti-Terror Bill · · Score: 1

    That is why the Loads are not elected but the commons are. Our system was that way a long time ago (if I remember history right). I believe State legislators elected the Senate and the people elected the House. A bill has to go through both so the morons get a vote (elected) then the Tyrranical morons gets a vote. It balances the scale. Checks and balances is what it is about.

  9. Don't they have to get releases to change. on Global File System (GFS) Relicensed under SPL · · Score: 1

    If I gave them a large patch of fixes, don't they have to get a release from me to change the license?

    That is why RMS will not incorporate some of emacs.org changes.

  12. Redhat updates on RH7 Crashes In Three Weeks (But Fixed) · · Score: 1

    Can you get the update with out being one of those network subscriber? Does Redhat think that they are going to make money this way. Need a update pay us, or what for 7.1. I couldn't find a place to download any patches. One of us should join it and then put up a mirror. :) Its all open source right? atto

  13. Who works for these guys???? on Rambus going after AMD & Transmeta · · Score: 1

    All of these Crooks... "We the people" work for them and make there money. Knowing the history of M$, Rambus, Amazon, and the rest of the BIG Business Idiots. What does the IT field have morals, *NO* we work off money too. That is why these companies get away with it!!! When you turn down or quit a job because your morals are more the your wallet then maybe things will change.

    Sorry for the rant.

  15. Encryption?? on Peer-To-Peer Encrypted E-mail · · Score: 1

    Is there any voice encryption avaiable. Or does the FBI have a lock down on that. You would think that you could buy a phone that supports encryption but I don't see any.

  16. Lets make a New version on Napster Usage Quadruples · · Score: 1

    Is there Napster type software that doesn't depend totally on a server. I know Napster has servers that keeps a list of users running Napster. Could we make it so it only depends on the users computers. Then the record companys would only have their customers to go after :).

  18. Re:The Future... on Non Disclosure Agreements in Interviews? · · Score: 1

    My company released a new handbook. That we had to sign a piece of paper that said we read it and understood it. Well it was a 10 minute meeting and you didn't have time to read it when they wanted you to sign that piece of paper.

    After sign and reading there was a paragraph that said that you have to leave company trade secrets behind. Then it gave examples, one was "Know How".

    So any experance you got there you have to leave it with the company.

    So I quit.

  19. Re:Too bad we didn't get a rational judgement on DVD/DeCSS: MPAA Wins In New York · · Score: 1

    Well lets look at that logic more. Guns allow you to kill, lets make them illegal (they are trying). Cars allow you to use them as get-away in crimes or to kill people, illegal!!! Wait, Wait, a person talking can commit a crime with words OH-MY god lets make that illegal.

    Just because something can be used for illegal purposes does not make it right to make it illegal.
