  1. DataDepositBox - Good for a few clients on Online Backup Solutions? · · Score: 1

    I really like these guys. They may be too pricy for a large installation, but if you only have a few clients, it's a good deal, real-time "trickle" (and no headaches).

  2. Re:Why? Well, Gopher and WAIS died . . . on Another Nail In Usenet's Coffin? · · Score: 1

    Protocols, yes, but applications at heart, all superceded by Google/Yahoo/etc.

    Agreed, nothing to get too dramatic over, but we need to accept techno-Darwinism.

  3. Darn! on Air Force Researching Antimatter Weapons · · Score: 1

    Now I have to trash my photon torpedo grant application.

  4. Re:Not so fast . . . in RAM = "copy"? on MPAA Sues DVD Chip Manufacturers · · Score: 1

    Thank you. I stand corrected. Much obliged.

  5. Not so fast . . . in RAM = "copy"? on MPAA Sues DVD Chip Manufacturers · · Score: 1

    You might want to take a peak at MAI v. Peak (9th cir., 1993) where the court held that loading software into RAM puts a "copy" in RAM. Now, I don't know how DVD players work, but if any part of the process stores the underlying code, even for a moment in time, there *may* be an argument that circumventing ACM is a DMCA violation, because without doing so, the "copy" (in RAM) couldn't be made. Welcome to the weird, wacky world of law, technology and metaphysics.

  6. Assignation? on Apple Patented by Microsoft · · Score: 2, Informative

    Apparently, the assignation of the patent to Microsoft was an error.

    So there's a twist to the tryst?

    Perhaps you meant assignment.

  7. Re:What the...? on Belkin Routers Route Users to Censorware Ad · · Score: 1

    If you don't get "Ah Clem", you also don't get Bozos on buses, throbbing yellow lines, crushed dwarves, pliers and Nick Danger.

  8. Undetectable NAT? on Linuxcare Founders Go Wireless · · Score: 1

    "With a properly configured distribution of this package, it's entirely possible to make your routing/NAT'ing of your neighbors traffic completely undetectable."

    Any references to how to do this?

    Thanx.

  9. Re:Why specify language features? on What Makes a Powerful Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    Becuase others would be working on it?

  10. Guess who hates open source the most? on Opposing Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Here's one from the granddaddy-of-them-all-open-source haters. When it came out I (belive) /. already noted it for what it was worth. Sorry, the link is to a MS-Word document (but it's their site, after all.)

  11. No - Bigger issue missed! on Inability to Type Not a Disability · · Score: 1

    She has another very clear shot at $$ from her employer. Under recent changes in California law, virtually everyone is disabled if they have a disorder or a condition that merely limits a major life activity (which includes working). The appeals court sent the case back to the lower court to rule on this part of the law.
