  1. Re:This Just in...... on Sun Grants Access to 1,600+ Patents · · Score: 1

    Uh... that should be "Communist pingüinistas". Oh wait...

  2. Re:no external source of power? on Tiny Robots Powered by Living Muscle Cells · · Score: 1

    That's what flies are for.

  3. Re:I for one... on Gates Elaborates on IP Communists · · Score: 1

    I wonder whether we are precipitating 2112:

    "We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx, our great computers fill the hallowed hall"

    Which ends in an "Attention, all planets of the Solar Federation: we have assumed control".

    Proletariat dictatorship?

  4. Re:Let's get these out of the way on Huygens Probe Lands on Titan · · Score: 1

    What would Cthulhu do in Titan?

  5. Re:FUDCon on Red Hat Trying to Make Fedora More Open? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hahaha, that makes it doubly funny for Mexicans, since FUD is also a well-known mark of minced meat.

  6. Re:Well... on Fantastic Four Teaser Trailer · · Score: 1

    Hehe, they owe to so many more:
    - Flash

    Scully: (giving the lie detector test) "You just answer truthfully. Do you understand?"
    Homer: "Yes!" (explosion)

    It's recursive, see?

    Ok, enough beer...

    Oh well, you could play tricks on the term anyway.

  13. Re:HOAX? Offical reference? on Mexico to Abolish the Public Domain? · · Score: 1

    That link is dead, man. Slashdot effect or something? Both are possible :)

  14. Re:bogus (Document yourselves, then post, people!) on Mexico to Abolish the Public Domain? · · Score: 1

    Article 122Lifetime of protection granted to artists shall be 50 years counted since:

    I.- First fixation of play or performance on a phonogram.

    II.- First play or performance of artwork not recorded on phonograms, or

    III.- First broadcast through radio, television or any medium.

    Pardon the bad English, but try and translate from Spanish Legalese to English. Browse through the real and vigentMexican Federal Copyright Law and you'll find no bill or amendment such as this article suggests. In addition you could get some gratifying surprises :) one of the article grants the individual the right to copy an artwork for personal use and no profit. So we still laugh at DMCA after all.

  15. But remember that broadband *nominal* on 56k Times Five: Myth Or Moneymaker? · · Score: 1

    So now that ADSL is picking up it's becoming slower since it's got more demand. Not to mention cable that, at least in Mexico, makes you browse in cache-land.

    Now, let's see what good it really is and at what cost.

  16. Re:uhhhhh on Microsoft Applies For .NET Patent · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Worse if you are a Spanish speaker :)
    # is named "gato" (tic-tac-toe) or "signo de número" and only in a musical context you would name it "sostenido" (sharp). Nowhere but in mistranslated programming books it's named "libra" (pound)... I think I read it so in a book of turbo pascal sometime.

  17. Re:All Praise Bob! on Slackware Forums Alive Again! · · Score: 1

    Careful! We could see the fnords around...

  18. RTFC! I Already tested the code... on Has the RIAA Wormed 95% of P2P Networks? · · Score: 1

    My results?

    - No buffer overflow
    - mpg321 v. 0.2.10 remained unaltered. And yes, I altered the binary intentionally with elvis in hex mode.
    - No odd process.
    - Got tired looking for something strange in ethereal.

    One more note: the code mentions Slackware and SuSE 8.0. My Slack is 8.1, so any different results out there?

  19. Quoted from Mafalda on Habitable Planets May Be Common · · Score: 1

    "Lo sorprendente es que haya vida en ESTE planeta"
    Amazing is there's life in THIS planet.
    (Mafalda is a popular Argentinian comic strip by Quino. No idea if there are English editions).

  21. Re:this is not legal on Spyware Fights Back · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A contract that obligates you to quit a right of yours is illegal in itself :)

    What if your boss had you sign a contract where you disclaim any right to social insurance?

  22. Samba just fills a gap on Microsoft And The GPL/LGPL · · Score: 1

    ... As does Wine, or VMWare. This gap is provenient of the mixed migrations, say a win* net that needs a proxy/file repository/swis-army-knife server, or companies that are really changing to linux desktops.
    Users and even network administrators are still too short sighted when it comes to *nix. With education, one stops needing microsoft at all. Hard to realize when you insist on sending or receiving word documents by e-mail.
    If the Samba team still wants to keep compatibility (I'd name it walk behind) in a future, no doubt they will have to go BSD. But think Coda, or Intermezzo, or GNU GFS: who *needs* compatibility now?

  23. Patching again... getting XPish hein? on Linux 2.4.15 is out; Linux 2.5.0 has also begun. · · Score: 1

    Heck, I didn't like it when I immediately had to patch 2.4.14 due to the problem of loopback. Now I wonder when I will finally be able to upgrade my HP NetServer with a Cyclades PC300 with *one* kernel.

  24. With the course things have been taking lately.... on Microsoft EULA stokes crusade · · Score: 1

    - Foo Antivirus would put Cygwin in quarantine. - XP will refuse to execute Emacs, warning it does not come from a trusted source. - You will be unable to connect to Postgres/MySQL. I might go wrong, though...

  25. Hey, a double denial makes an affirmation! on Bill Gates's email - about Linux · · Score: 1


    It was sort of funny reading all that (My bogometer ticks were just annoying, so I turned it off).

    Then I see that the message is bogus too! Would that make BorG innocent of all charges?
