  4. Re:Now we see why low attention span is dangerous on FSF: New Apache License not GPL-Compatible · · Score: 1

    If you could read a bit better and were able to take a moment away from consumption of the cornucopia of goods and services of capitalism, like your Britney Spears look-a-like porn video, you might actually notice that everything you are assuming about the "fighting" amongst "communist" open source programmers is actually completely wrong.

  5. MozCC Rox on Creative Commons Includes GPL And LGPL Metadata · · Score: 1

    Great idea ... and surprising how many pages have CC info.

    A nice feature for the next version would be mozilla-editor tool that easily generates the license meta-data.

  6. MSN is not a search engine on Microsoft's Search Engine Plans · · Score: 1

    it's an MS research tool. They collect and store all search requests.

    Their results are crap but they don't care.

  7. Re:HOW TO REMOVE LINUX AND INSTALL WINDOWS XP on Configuring the 2.6 Linux Kernel · · Score: 0
    Multi-User Support. This has always been one of Microsoft's strong sides,
    especially in the Windows 95/98 variants, where passwords were completely
    unnecessary. .... With Windows XP, Microsoft has again improved multi-user support ... This makes it possible to login as a different user with a simple
    keyboard shortcut, and the good news is: programs from the old user keep running
    in the background! Beat that, Linux!


    Hahah Win98 is "multi-user" hahaahaha. As for "user switching" you realize Linux has been able to do this since 1992 right?? What has happened is that XP has taken an idea from Unix (one that MS engineers probably were using for a while but the marketing department wanted to relea$e with a new ver$ion of the OS).

  12. Re:What? on Wi-Fi Redirect Gateway Patent for Hotspots · · Score: 1

    "Are you saying that patenting one method for doing wifi registration is equivalent to actually literally killing someone?"

    Yes, but I will take it back if people quit refering to sharing music as "piracy" (piracy is murder and theft on the high seas).

  14. Re:Are routers "patented" too? on Wi-Fi Redirect Gateway Patent for Hotspots · · Score: 1

    Well today "shit flowing through pipes in an organized grid" (i.e. urban sewage systems) is a patentable idea (who would've thought it up) as long as COMPUTERS are involved.

    The only problem for murdering thieve IPR laywers is that the system already exists and it it hard to get a patent on something already built by others.

  15. Murderous theiving patent on a "gateway" on Wi-Fi Redirect Gateway Patent for Hotspots · · Score: 1

    ... If you read the patent and you are not an idiot or a murdering thief laywer (I call pro-IP and pro-patent lawyers are "murdering thieves" ... this is a bit like the way the RIAA calls music sharing "piracy" - sorry it's a bad personal habit I've been meaning to correct) then you will simply want to spread the word about the lying companies that are claiming patents on these technologies.

    They are essentially patenting "redirection" and the concept of a "gateway" - either becasue they are too stupid to realize the obviousness of these technologies or they are counting on the old "ooooh it's **computers** ...." ploy in order to bamboozle the USPTO. So they are stupid or eviland in iether case should not be allowed to enrich themselves.

  16. More theft via patent ... on Wi-Fi Redirect Gateway Patent for Hotspots · · Score: 1

    Prior Art: Apache, DNS, DHCP the list is so endless and obvious that these people should be made to spend a long time in jail.

    If Martha Stewart can be liable for jail time for what she did then thieves like this (to say nothing of SCO) should be stocking up on vaseline and cigarettes and getting ready for life inside.

  17. What about my lawnmower and paper route money? on IBM Patents Method For Paying Open Source Workers · · Score: 1

    ... I earned it using a similar scheme.

    Oh well at least SCO owes IBM money big time now :-P

  18. RIAA owes ISPs huge fees .... on RIAA Files 532 Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    for advertising their songs .... ISPs owe RIAA say 100th of a cent per megabyte for "broadcasting performance" of each download (so 3 cents for 100 downloads of a 3MB song. Free access to music online increases CD sales (it had for me). Thisis largely offset byt the incredibly bad music that is published by the RIAA these days (Cher Xmas albums, etc. bellybutton showing 17 year old virgins who tongue kiss older almost over the hill pop stars, etc etc).

    Consumers are already paying for network access so they owe no $ to anyone. Recording companies are too stupid to figure out who to use new technologies.

    Maybe big file traders (i.e. broadcasters) owe a bit more than average ... 100$ or say the equivalent of a HAM radio license. That oughta be sufficient.

  19. How is this patentable - where's the technology? on Eolas vs. Microsoft Verdict Stands, Despite ReExam · · Score: 1

    They describe a "method" for shipping data around and having it appear on a web page. This is an idea that glues together existing methods. They are patenting an idea that 200 other people had simultaneously or prior to them.

    Eolas criticizes the W3C for having a "public policy against software patents". What's to criticize? This is like having a policy against fraud, lying and deceit. Eolas has done no work to implement anything and has not advanced the Web or Internet in anyway. They want a free lunch from Microsoft.

    Hopefully this case will demonstrate why MS and Opensource need each other (Apple and IBM have already learned this).

  20. Take a look a Perl6 ... more powerful than C# on Nokia to Port Perl to Mobiles · · Score: 1

    Perl6 will parse and execute code written in a number of other languages and is itself more thoroughly object-oriented (if you want) than anything.

    Java is a mess. It runs reliably on 2 platforms and uses bytecode. Perl does real compilation which is more efficient.

  25. Solar production is not "inefficient" on Fighting Cancer With The Common Cold? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ... you have to take usage patterns into consideration. For running my watch solar is very efficient (better than producing batteries, distributing them and asking cosumers to change them when their 20$ watch dies).

    The problem with energy in the North is not production but extra-ordinarily high consumption. Energy is too cheap (artificially so) and everything about our enviroment reflects that: badly designed cities and buildings and major sunk investments we have to deal with for 100's of years are the result ... I hope crises in California and elsewhere (one is coming in Ontario Canada) will lead to some new efficiencies in *consumption*.

    If the Spanish moors produced wonderful energy efficient homes that needed no air-conditioning.
