  1. Re:Demonstration of Rik's immaturity on Rik van Riel on Kernels, VMs, and Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think that the matter is the _tone_ Rik uses to attack Linus.

    Remebers me this article : Prima donna syndrome : Managing the employee who's too talented for rules

  2. Re:O(1) Scheduler? on Linux 2.5.2 Kernel Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    I don't think it's in the kernel

    According to the change log ingo's scheduler changes _are_ integrated.

  3. Re:extradition on Defamation, Free Speech, Jurisdiction and the Net? · · Score: 1

    OK, but in Yahoo's case in France, they had interests and representatives in France. So there was no need of extradition

  4. Re:Interesting work, from a technical aspect on Michael Robertson Interview about Lindows · · Score: 1

    I wonder if Ms would purposefully change them to break under Lindows

    Sure. And this has already happened several times. A sample quote from here :

    Caldera claims that Microsoft intentionally kept Windows 3.1 from working with DR-DOS in order to fend off the competing operating system.

    The anti-microsoft trial revealed that such practices were common.

  5. Re:Good on KaZaa Ignores Court Order to Shut Down · · Score: 0, Troll

    Politicians vote laws that the people who elected them deserve.

  6. Flame war on IBM Builds A Limited Quantum Computer · · Score: 0, Troll

    Does it runs GNOME or KDE ?

  7. Re:Be realistic on Why Free Software is a Hard Sell · · Score: 2, Funny

    Here's a bunch

  8. Re:How to tell on al Qaeda Hacks XP? · · Score: 1

    You can do a lot of damage without accessing directly to io ports (if that's what you meant). Just have a look to red code and modify it to delete file on the hard drive ...

  9. Media on The Age of Paine Revisited · · Score: 1

    Internet is just a medium, don't even think about revolutions when the media is owned by the major telecom companies...

  10. Re:"developers only"... on Sharp Ships New PDA Running Linux 2.4 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Are my autoexec.bat editing skillz enough to buy this thing ?

  11. Re:Stable or not? on Linux 2.4.15 is out; Linux 2.5.0 has also begun. · · Score: 1

    IIRC, SNMP integers are coded in ASN.1 standard, I wonder if your 4 bytes limitation doesn't come from the SNMP protocol itself ...

  12. Faster ... on KDE 2.2.2 · · Score: 1

    You will appreciate the trick that makes the icons load 5% faster in particular.
    This is a joke. You need an 25% improvement in speed to notice a change in your UI. Okay, KDE is getting better every day, but there is no need to point out that kind of bullshit.

  13. BlueOS on Can BeOs Live On As Open Source? · · Score: 2, Informative
    From BlueOS page :

    BlueOS will be based on a Linux kernel (not on a distribution) and a basic XFree86 (XWindow system)

    Linux and X ?
    Is it a good way to start a Desktop OS ?
  14. The title is wrong on Who Do You Trust Least? · · Score: 1

    Eventhough least trusted site on the net sounds fine, the survey is about "Internet Companies" not about internet sites...

    Do you trust slashdot ?

  15. The banners on Stopping The 56K Hate · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but the banners on the site such as this one, with their devil-esque design, appear, IMHO, much more like a call to dance with the devil in satanists orgies devourating cable/dsl users corpses than a peacefull ode to mutual respect.

    Maybe the marketing as to be reviewed ?

  16. The Apache Public License on Open Source License Comparison · · Score: 1

    Maybe it would be good to add the APL which I think is close to a BSD style license.
    BTW, to have an idea about what APL developpers think about GPL (LPGL in fact) just have look here it's an excerpt from a discussion where the integration of GNU Regexp was seriouly discussed in cocoon-dev mailing list.

  17. Tell me how on New TLDs Loaded with Fraudulent Registrations · · Score: 1

    [...] allowing any TLD to be added, this squabbling over an artificially-limited resource would be eliminated.

    I can't see how this would eliminate the problem !?

  18. Re:Old debate on Multitasking Harmful To Productivity · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I was not just talking about RSI.
    To quote this article:
    The attempt to humanize management theory in the work of Elton Mayo and his followers, [...], focused on the environment of work and reached the conclusion that environmental conditions and morale were as important as the behaviourist categories on which Taylor had concentrated.
    My point was that scientism made Taylor consider the worker as a non-human entity.
    Behaviourists as Mayo demonstrated that human factors were important too when studying productivity.
  19. Old debate on Multitasking Harmful To Productivity · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is known since Taylor :
    a worker that is specialized in a single movement is more productive than another doing different things.

    But this is only true in a short term view :
    The fact that workers feel less considered will bring less productivity and a bad feeling about the company.

  22. GPL violation is not the worst on Chinese Linux Developers Allegedly Violating Licenses · · Score: 1

    The worst is that IT managers could think this article as a proof that GPL is evil :

    They might basically think : GPL forces you to release the code you're working on. Once it is available to everyone, Chinese/Russian/<Feared country> people could just steal it whithout any drawbacks.

    It's sad but this is just adding to MS anti-GPL campaign ....

  23. The future lost server on Adorable Little Linux Boxes · · Score: 1

  25. Re:MS more powerful than government? Nonsense. on The Return of Microsoft · · Score: 1

    It brought taxation and simple democracy to India. It breathed the first light of the west's wisdom on those dark and primitive lands.
    We are indeed talking about an arogant corporation which tends to impose its view of the world to others.
    What about westerners arrogance ?
