  1. Re:Lawyers on Florida Election Votes Certified · · Score: 2

    Gore offered recounts in all counties.

    No he didn't. He only asked for recounts in heavily democratic counties: West Palm Beach, Broward, and Volusia.

    Ah, the old "redirection" trick. Gore asked for recounts in heavily democratic counties, as was his legal right. Bush could have asked for recounts but didn't, because he thought his margin was large enough that he didn't need them.

    The original assertion, however, was that Gore offered recounts and, indeed, last Wednesday he said he'd go along with hand recounts for the entire state if Bush wanted them. Of course by that time the Bush "recounts BAD" campaign had so villified hand recounts that there was no chance of Bush accepting Gore's offer.

  2. Java 2 for FreeBSD on FreeBSD 4.2 Is Out · · Score: 4

    Hey, where's that Java 2 I was promised?

    For the Linux port

    cd /usr/ports/java/linux-jdk && make install

    For the native port,

    cd /usr/ports/java/jdk12-beta && make install

    Note that the native port is built from scratch due to licensing restrictions.

  3. Re:Pointer to the "who invented the Internet" arti on Politicians, Napster, And The Invention Of The Net · · Score: 1

    Phil Agre, a professor at UCLA sent out a message on the Red Rock Eater mailing list debunking the "Gore invented the Internet" myth. He doesn't seem to have it up on his web site yet, so I've put up a temporary copy

  4. Re:Serious use: file management on High-res Volumetric 3D Display Prototype · · Score: 1

    What you've really got is a way to display 4 dimensions of data (3D plus color).

    Actually, brightness also works ... check outlavaps for a nice example of this.

  5. Re:Does everyone LOVE MacOS X? on Developer Tools For MacOS X · · Score: 1

    /usr/local/bin: non-distribution binaries (aka non-RPM, non-DEB, etc etc)

    /usr/local/sbin: system binaries, not installed via the package manager

    Nope, MOSX is BSD-based, so system-related stuff is installed in /*bin and /usr/*bin and ports are installed in /usr/local/*bin (or whatever your ${PREFIX} is set to.)

  6. Re:Just do it on Carmack About Q3A On Dreamcast · · Score: 2

    What do you mean?

    That link points to a Sun product which helps YOU port a Linux driver to Solaris.

    Sun's product doesn't use any GPL'd code and isn't GPL'd (from what I can see.)

    If anything, it reinforces the original point. If the Linux drivers weren't GPL'd, Sun could just integrate them into Solaris and ship them with the main OS.

    Since the drivers are GPL'd, Sun has to say "We're not gonna port it ... you port it!"

  7. Re:Why stop at GTK themes? on GTK-Themes To Be Supported By KDE2 · · Score: 1

    Qt2 handles both native themes and Gtk themes. How can a library which is a superset of another library be "inferior"?

  8. Re:remeber a day on Pete Townshend On Lifehouse, The Net, And Pirating · · Score: 1

    Who could possibly have moderated such oversimplified tripe up to "Insightful"?

    Teachers certainly didn't like it when we shared our class assignments with other students.

    Teachers also taught us to share things we owned, but certainly not to take things from other people.

    And justifying "piracy" by saying it only hurts "big fat businessmen" is just salve for your guilty conscience.

    I've certainly downloaded a few MP3s, but I don't use third grade logic to fool myself into thinking I'm not stealing.

    "Insightful" ... SHEESH!
