  1. Re:What about the license? on Linux Kernel v2.6.23 Released · · Score: 1

    It does you allow to relicense modified code, even TdR asmits that. You can also tar it, zip it and call it a binary.

  2. Re:What about the license? on Linux Kernel v2.6.23 Released · · Score: 1

    Let me guess... because BSD license allows you to do that and GPL doesn't?

  3. All is fine and dandy on VM-Based Rootkits Proved Easily Detectable · · Score: 1

    but what if you already run your system in a VM? What if a rootkit injects itself as another virtualization layer (at either side of your good VM)? How do you detect this sort of thing?

  4. An open phone on Nokia responds to iPhone by Promoting 'Open' · · Score: 1

    Here. Nokia, would you make something like it (but working)? Please?

  5. What? on Amazon MP3 Vs. iTunes Music Store · · Score: 1

    Your Amazon MP3 Music purchases can only be downloaded once. After you have successfully downloaded the file to your computer at the time of purchase, we recommend that you create a backup copy. We are currently unable to replace any purchased files that you delete or lose due to a system or disk error. If you encounter a problem with an MP3 file immediately after purchase, please click the Customer Service button in the Contact Us box in the right-hand column of this page so we can determine how to help you.

    Totally worthless.

  6. Re:I'd like to try Amazon on Amazon MP3 Vs. iTunes Music Store · · Score: 1

    They say: "A Linux version of the Amazon MP3 Downloader is under development". You can bet your money on it being an IA32-only closed-source job, but hey, whadduyuwant, brain slugs^W^Wcorporate mindset.

  7. Hacking? on Newton II - Does The Rumor Have Legs This Time? · · Score: 1

    Consumers don't hack stuff.

  8. Welcome. on Intel Chief Evangelist Comments on Linux Scheduler · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    people who use slang contractions in text (i.e. "'cause") should be shot on site

    Right after people who can't tell the difference between "on sight" and "on site".

  9. Re:Menus at the top! on Etoile Project Releases Mac-Like Environment · · Score: 1

    For example, I have six windows open right now in OS X. Were I using an environment where each window had its own menu bar, that would use six times as much screen real estate.

    Perhaps you should learn the concept of "overlapping windows" then.

  10. Re:bllizard, wow patcher on Microsoft Reinvents Bittorrent · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily use a word list that corresponds to where you live.

    You know you can actually install a dictionary for your little colonial dialect^W^W^W^Wseveral major spelling variants of English, do you? Either centrally with your package manager. or locally with the FF extension manager.

  11. Re:TinyMCE on SPAW Editor 2 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They, too, insist on using popup windows in some of their plugins. This is simply not acceptable.

  12. Dear anonymous reader. on SPAW Editor 2 Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Could you please refrain from writing to Slashdot editors in the future? Especially about little broken lame crappy pieces of software? Thank you.

  13. Who knows? on Physicist Trying To Send a Signal Back In Time · · Score: 1

    Maybe the universe will vanish in a puff of logic!

  14. Re:FTL communication on Physicist Trying To Send a Signal Back In Time · · Score: 1

    FTL communication is strictly equivalent to communication backwards in time. If you can do one, you can do the other. If special relativity is correct, that is.

  15. What 2.5%? on A Sunshade In Space To Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Oxygen makes up about 21% of the atmosphere.

  16. Hilarious video indeed. on How Practical are 20-inch Laptops? · · Score: 1

    Totally blank. The sound is OK though. Do I need Flash 9 to view that or what? Nah, won't bother, but thanks anyway.

  17. Ouch. on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 1
    You must be new here, and by "here" I mean this bloody planet.

    OOo's price/performance ratio, that's for sure.

  19. Re:Works in Gentoo on Google Releases Picasa for Linux · · Score: 1

  21. It didn't work for me. on Preview Google's New Search Results Page · · Score: 1

    (horrified) What do I do? What do I do?

  22. Re:When did we drink the Kool-Aid? on Software Developer Beats Pirate in Boxing Ring · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If my source doesn't lie, the word "pirate" in this sense is first recorded in 1701.

  24. That's great. on Live Demo CD of Microkernel-Based TUD:OS Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder if they're able to load closed-source drivers like nvidia, and have accelerated OpenGL graphics...
