  1. Re:Those darn Boy Scouts. on BSA Accuses OpenOffice Mirrors · · Score: 4, Funny

    BSA is a trademark of the Boy Scouts of America. The Business Software Alliance is to be referred to as the BS Alliance. I am sure the BS Alliance would not want to infringe on a trademark.

    Or ...

    When the mites go up, the tights come down.

  3. Does it really implement the timbot? on Small-Scale Warrior Robot Truck · · Score: 1

    If it is called the timbot, is it written in Python?

  5. Copyright and Work for Hire on How to "Open Source" Custom, Contract Software? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You are the author of the work and therefor have the copyright unless the you assign it to the client or unless it is a work for hire. Since your are not an employee, and it is not a collective work, etc. (See http://www.loc.gov/copyright/circs/circ09.pdf, warning: PDF) it is not a work for hire. So, in theory you can do anything that you want with it.

    That said, you have an ethical obligation to work out a resolution with your client.

    (Assigning it in the contract is also considered a work for hire.)

    In theory, theory and practice are the same, in practice, they are not.

  6. KRUD is the answer. on Red Hat Linux 7.3 Released · · Score: 1

    If you do not have the bandwidth, maybe a couple of filled-to-the-brim CDs every month is the answer.

    The April CDs contain about 1.4GB.

  7. Re:It's weird on Ebert, Gillmor on the Music Industry · · Score: 1

    When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.

  8. Re:BSA on Business Software Alliance "Grace Period" · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Oh and by the way BSA is a trademark of the Boy Scouts of America..."

    That is why, to avoid confusion, I always refer to them as the BS Alliance.

  9. Linux Journal Ads for Clusters on Wanted: Turn-Key 10-Node Beowulf Cluster · · Score: 1

    From the Oct. 2001 Linux Journal

    These ads mention clusters specifically.

  10. Re:A couple of reasons... on New XFree86 snapshot - 3.9.17 · · Score: 1


    V4 will/does have good multihead support, so you could run one server with two
    displays, (think ``:0.0'' and ``:0.1'').

    I think that you mean two screens, not two displays.
