  1. Auto on In Depth With Jason Haas And LinuxPPC · · Score: 1

    Accident? I don't think so. Drunk driver, criminal negligence involving major bodily injury. The use of the word accident in this context is inappropriate.

  2. WTF on IOC Clamps Down on Athlete Web Diaries · · Score: 1
    the athletes have a recourse: don't attend the games.

    Oh, you want to attend the games. Great. We've got a few rules for you. A few rules governing your conduct before your event(s), a few rules governing your conduct during your event(s), and a few rules governing your conduct after your event(s). If you don't agree with these rules, stay home. Next.

  3. Ok on IOC Clamps Down on Athlete Web Diaries · · Score: 1
    let's see.

    Microsoft, evil
    Napster, good
    RIAA, evil
    Theft of IP, good
    USPTO, evil
    DeCSS, good

    oh, and

    IOC, evil

  4. Yes sir on Red Hat Linux 7 Released · · Score: 1
    welcome to Freshmeat, er, I mean Slashdot, where we publish releases before the mirrors have a chance to sync up.

    Thanks guys. Not only does this type of thing slam the primary sites, but it also makes it harder for the mirrors to get their own downloads.

  5. Puh-leeease on Return Address: Arrogance, MS · · Score: 1
    Chris DiBona should have 10 points knocked off his karma, this whole fucking article should be marked Flaimbait, and the anti-Microsoft editor known as Timothy should buy a frigging clue. Email is not "lost", you don't need an MS Exchange server to handle email from OL2000 clients, and the rich text option is EASILY disabled.

    This is an MS extension. Don't like it? Don't use it. Don't like someone else using it? Ask them not to.

  6. No question on WAP vs. iMode - The Big Cell Fight · · Score: 1

    iMode is the clear winner here. Larger feature set, easier software implementation. Gaining momentum.

  7. Re:Why bother on Developer Tools For MacOS X · · Score: 1
    Rightttt. Ahem.

    "Apple is opening its source to allow full development capabilty to the legions of developers worldwide. By releasing its source code into the open source community, Apple is ensuring its place in the future of application development, and in the worldwide community of developers." - Steve Jobs, San Francisco, Mar 2000

  8. Hogwash on H1B Tech Visa Workers Being Deported From U.S. · · Score: 1
    These H1B residents have invested six years of their lives here--they have homes, families, and careers here.

    So they got exactly what they were told to expect -- six years, temporary resident status. End of story. My reservations at the Hilton expired last Sunday. I booked the room through Sunday-- but I had really gotten used to my accomodations. So what. I got what I paid for; I got what they promised.

    The shortage you refer to is illusory. The shortage is in fact a shortage of companies willing to pay top dollar for talent. They hire these immigrants because they work for less. Look into it.

  9. IMO on Is There A Standard for Software Metadata? · · Score: 1

    Kuro5hin's coverage of this is quite extensive.
