  1. Duh. on 'Hacking' To Be Declared Illegal · · Score: 1

    You'd be allowed to hack your own code, or code of other people, as long as you have their permission, dummy!

  2. Re:What's the big deal? on 'Hacking' To Be Declared Illegal · · Score: 1

    Look, this is a capitalist system. If the product doesn't work, people will stop buying it. That's how things get fixed.

  3. Big surprise there. on SELECT noprivacy FROM census, socialsecurity, irs · · Score: 1

    As much money as Microsoft & Sun have pumped into the Republican campaigns this year, we can expect to see much more of this kind of backpedalling when it comes to harvesting personal data from governmental sources.

    project based on these logs.

  6. First off, adk the right questions. on Gathering Requirements In Open Source Projects · · Score: 2
    Specific issues include, but aren't limited to:
    • Where/how should we host the project? Something internal? Something like SourceForge?
    • What management structures/tools are helpful? At minimum we'll need a source-code repository and a mailinglist/newsgroup, right? Anything else considered critical?
    • What are some effective control stuctures? Who should determine what makes it into an official release? By what procedure? Who should be able to add code to the tree? What kinds of resources do we need to commit to this project to make it effective?

  7. Re:Well, I don't know about you... on Surrounded By Cyborgs: ISWC2000, Take 1 · · Score: 1

    I mean, what are you going to do? Hang your clothes in a special recharger-and-coathanger contraption every evening?

    Cornell's Alternative Energy Lab is working on a pair of pants that have thousands of hinge-generators in the legs, so you produce electricity while walking. The technology is years away, but there will be a solution to the problem.

  9. Re:Would it be possible for the editors to preview on Grokking The Gimp · · Score: 1

    Duh. The reason they encourage us to preview is so they get the extra banner impression.

    It's all about the bottom line.

  13. Re:Jupiter on Jupiter As From Cassini · · Score: 1

    If it makes it that far!

    A good friend of mine worked on that project for a while, and she told me nobody at NASA expects Cassini to complete the mission. Apparently, they had a bunch of Jews on the initial design team.
