  1. Re:Fixed? on More DeCSS Time-Warner Hypocrisy · · Score: 3

    Style sheets?

    Are you saying that they used CSS on their link to DeCSS?

    Talk about hypocracy! ;)

    Yeah, but with the toliets, you pay per toilet, not per person who uses it :)

    I think he was referring to AMD's stock, not transmetas

  4. Re:Isn't it pointless? on AOL For Linux Leaks Out · · Score: 2

    I've actually been looking forward to this. Hoping that AOL would someday make a linux client.

    Not for me. I have a DSL line myself, but for my family.

    My family dosen't know much about computers, but they spend a lot of time on AOL. If I do the administration of their machine, and all they need to do is click the AOL icon, what does it matter what OS they run?

    Time to see exactly how far along linux has come. Time to perform the "mother" test.

    I believe that the squatting law is for 7 years. If you manage to live there for 7 years with no objections, then you now own that building. Of course I could be wrong.

    All WWII movies acknowledge the existance of other countries. I mean, without Germany and Japan, who would we be winning against?

  8. Re:DivX on Video Information From Disinformation · · Score: 2

    DivX is a microsoft creation, right?

    deCss allows you to rip movies off of DVD's, but the resulting movie file is way too large to be useful to anyone for transportation. And they get sued for making a utility that allows for piracy.

    I'd say that DivX's ability to make the movie size small enough for transfer (at least more reasonable than before) makes me curious why MPAA isn't going for them. I mean, RIAA is going after mp3 and all.

    Let me guess... Because microsoft is too big? Gah.

    Just installed 4.0.1 from source on my machine with a Voodoo 3 that had been having issues, and it started up fine for me. I don't know if I was having the same problems you were, but I would definitly give it a shot.

  16. Re:Windows compatibility on Linux 2.4.0 Test2 Almost Ready for Prime Time · · Score: 2

    YOu need to install Wine in order to be able to use windows biniaries, it isn't akernel thing. As a sidenote, not all probably will work, even with wine.

  17. Tee hee..I got it before it was announced on Linux 2.4.0 Test2 Almost Ready for Prime Time · · Score: 2

    I decided to try a 2.4 test kernel last night, but I had no idea which was current. I downloaded and tested 2.4 test2 without even realizing it was brand new.

    On the down side to this, it wouldn't compile. However, I have't compiled akernel in a long time, and as Linus said, I'm probably doing something wrong.

  18. Re:Napster, GNUTella, et al all have this hole on Gnutella Copyright Enforcement? · · Score: 2

    The problem with this method is that since every client is a peer, and possibly now a relay, you could end up using someone on a slow connection as the relay.

    I'd hate to be the poor sap on a T1 downloading from a T3 using a machine on a 28.8 modem as a relay.

  19. Re:I was under... on Microsoft Office On OSX, *BSD, *nix? · · Score: 2

    The Darwin kernel that OS X uses has been ported to X86. Apple has never started that they would port OS X itself to x86. It's a possibility, but I doubt it.

    Terraflop would have something to do with Land crashing or something.

  22. Re:Windows again. on Is The x86 Obsolete? · · Score: 2

    I see you threw Wine in there. In theory Wine would run fine on any other platform, but there isn't much purpose for it. Wine allows you to run windows binaries, which are created for x86. Even if you managed to port wine to Sparc for example, what sparc win32 programs would you run?

    I wouldn't be surprised if winelib was ported though.

  25. Re:Is OpenBSD still relevant? on OpenBSD 2.7 Released · · Score: 2

    What about the systems it has been ported to?

    OpenBSD is based off of NetBSD which has been ported to many more systems than FreeBSD ever has. While I've only used OpenBSD on x86 (and then only briefly), I'm assuming it's also available for at least most of the platforms that NetBSD is.
