  1. Re:Analyze, Design then Code on The Fastest Web Language On The 'Net? · · Score: 1

    Actually, Tcl might be just the ticket -- when it's embedded in the server itself and not run as CGI or fast-CGI.

    These poor fellows need to look at jettisoning Apache altogether in favor of aolserver (www.aolserver.com), which provides speed, scalability, choice of language (C and Tcl), and choice of database backends.

  2. Microsoft's Benediction on MS Wants To Outlaw Open Source: "Threatens" the "American Way" · · Score: 1

    Allchin's desperate and disingenuous comments cannot be taken as anything other than Microsoft's benediction that Linux is succeeding and will ultimately win a large part of the market Microsoft already serves. Allchin's comments are good new, for they validate Linux as a creature Microsoft fears. They see the writing on the wall. They must lash out to induce fear in the waning percentage of corporate buyers who think "nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft."

    Microsoft is the T Rex of the software market -- with the Linux comet hurtling down on their heads. A comet that will change the environment they live in from one suited to cold-blooded reptiles (Microsoft) to warm-blooded mammals (penguins). And like all small-minded T Rexes, they will go bellowing madly to their extinction.

  3. Re:A wasteful product for a wasteful society on $10 Paper Mobile Phone To Launch This Year · · Score: 1

    America craps bigger than the Netherlands. There's plenty of room for lots more trash. If we do run out of room from the onslaught of disposable paper phones, we can always export it to Afghanistan, Australia, or Austria. And those are only the A's.

  4. Judge's Ruling Saves Us From the Sewersnoids on Napster Shut Down Until Trial · · Score: 1


    The judge's ruling is a welcome one.

    Why?

    Because it enables up-and-coming musicians to take a stand with Richard Stallman.

    How?

    Because now musicians will choose (that is, if they choose) to release music under the GNU license. Some musicians may choose the BSD license (God love 'em). And some musicians (Metallica and Dre, for example) may choose the restrictive proprietary licenses. If it's good enough for code-software, it's good enough for music-software.

    Fair is fair, and if they choose not to enter the future, well, then, so long dinosaur!

    This is now our chance to quit listening to those musicians who thumb their collective noses at us. We can kiss Warner Brothers goodbye. Adios! And we can return the favor in spades -- no GNU (or BSD) license, no listen. We shall henceforth listen only to musicians who recognize *our* rights and *our* freedoms.

    The judge's ruling draws a clear line in the sand, one which benefits us. It further strengthens the GNU license and those who believe in it. We now determine the future, and the Internet will crush (negatively sanction) those retro-musicians who think they can control us and make us pay ad infinitum for something so trvial as a song.

    We should be dancing! To GNU music!
