  4. Re:Why bother? on If Microsoft Went Open Source · · Score: 1

    Not only is it very difficult to steal BSD code, seeing as how all you need to do is put in a tiny little blurb about UC copyright along with the usual "AS IS" bitty somewhere + promise not to imply that UC (or the copyright holder in question) endorses your product, but I'm pretty sure that you've offended a good number of BSD developers with the insinuation that Windows is in some substantial way built on their code.

    If you use Linux, you are not just a computer user.

    My mother uses Slackware for all of her day-to-day computing needs. This includes:
    • Writing papers
    • Managing the photos from her digital camera
    • Wandering around the web
    • Reading her email

    My mom is neither an admin nor a programmer. She is a just a computer user.

    have you seen some of the gurus of " open source" lately?

    Nope, but St. Ignucius ain't to trim himself.

    Well, she said "Fortune Favors the Brave," but that's close enough, eh?

    So what's left, then? Mandrake, Gentoo? Warez version of RHEL? WBEL?


    Umm, Slackware? ;) I'm still running happy as can be with it after like 5 years, and no big issues, but maybe that's just me.

    Be sure to restart your browser. I'm not sure if it's necessary, but it's better safe than sorry.

    (I've been allowed to name and old AS2100 running Linux: Neptune, sooo much better ;) )

    Fantastic! My big box (is a PIII 450 big?) is named neptune too, and she's served me faithfully since '99. I've also got lamprey and mama which are X terminals, and aegir my print spooler. At one point (98ish?) I also had fossil a 386 who has long since been retired. Oh, and my wap (it's a linksys and running linux also) is flying
  16. Tivo information collection is strictly local on Your Tivo Is Watching You · · Score: 2

    Apparently, according to a CNBC interview with the CEO(?) of Tivo, the little box doesn't actually send out this information to the big corporate mainframe - it doesn't even send it out at all -- it just customizes the incoming tv signals and tries to figure out what you'll like. So the only privacy issue is "Do I want the box to know what I watch?" - and most of the time, the box won't laugh at you for watching Buffy. - The aforementioned CNBC interview was thursday? I'm sure any interested party can request a transcript - even have someone figure out exactly what day/show the interview took place on! KB
