  1. And if Tim Lee decided that you shouldnt say HTML? on SSH Claims Trademark Infringement by OpenSSH · · Score: 1

    Come on. SSH is a standard protocol. What if Tim Lee decided that he invented HTML(which he did) and everyone needs to call their shit something else?

    You'd say. You wonderfull and everything, but you just crapped on yourself.

  2. GNUdist. on SSH Claims Trademark Infringement by OpenSSH · · Score: 1

    sick.

  3. BookPC makes good DivX, mp3,..., Mame player on Build Your Own Set Top Box · · Score: 2

    The BookPC's are $170 from Directron.
    Then go get an AMD K63 or K63+ 450 for $50.
    K63 is a laptop processor, but works if you set the voltage at 2.1(MB doesn't to 2.0).
    I clock it at 500 Mhz.
    You probably need an IR keyboard or other IR controller. Keyboard is $100. Or you could have got the DVD/black version of the BookPC which came with the IR control.

    Now the software. Currently I just run 'aviplay' to play divx's and some mp3 player.

    But this is all manual. What is needed is a automatic way to detect and play any media when it is loaded either by disc type (CD,DVD,VCD) or by extention (Discs full of mp3,avi,mpg,mp3,mp2,mpa,ac3,vob,mov,...,xmameroms)

    So the architecture would be:

    enum disc_type {CD, VCD1,VCD2, VCD3, SVCD, DVD, UNKNOWN};
    when(disc inserted)
    {
    disk_type = determine_disc_type();
    load_navigation(disc_type);
    }

    blah, blah, blah

  4. No borders? on Freshmeat II · · Score: 1

    Why not just get rid of all the color and just have black text on blinding white background with no borders.

    That would be "clean" like everyone likes it.
    Who cares about readability. Lets make it clean.

  5. .COM on Does .NET Sound Like Java? · · Score: 1

    When does someone invent ".COM" technology?

  6. Yes,we need rtsp:// napster://, freenet://, mojo:/ on Mozilla.org Releases Protozilla · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a step in the right direction.

    Years ago, netscape had "all" the protocols:
    ftp,http,gopher,and mail.

    Now we have many streaming and file sharing protocols which are cludged into netscape somehow.

    If mozilla fixed this and had protocol plugins, life would be great.

  8. You leave your TV's and Microwaves on?? on Crusoe As Server CPU · · Score: 1

    Most peoples TV's are on a couple of hours a day, and most microwaves are on a few minutes a day.

    Compare this to computers and monitors left on 24 hours at work.

  9. I send Columbia Music their stickers. on Spammer Gets Spammed · · Score: 1

    The stickers fit perfect in the Business Replies.
    I may Marker on there "no thanks" or something.

  10. Re:GPL on Aethera Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    I'll add the functionality when I get time...

    The request to have netscape split up has been made over and over since before Netscape opened the code.

    I think, here, publicly complaining is likely to do as much or more than a feature request.

  11. But you can't use it with Mozilla on Aethera Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    Because the Mozilla team never did really address the main problem with Netscape (splitting up the browser, news and mail), you still can't set it up to use an external mail or news program.

  12. Like MiniDisc and other Sony proprietary crap. on Ten Technologies That Shouldn't Have Died? · · Score: 1

    They deserve their fate.

  13. Mix GPL/BSD/SPL...and put it on Cnutell/freenet on Open Source Licensing Issues · · Score: 1

    I say who cares about what RMS and others say. Mix and match whatever source works. Then distribute your code or use it as you please. If worse comes to worse, you could post the code anonymously or put it on FreeNet or something similar. This way you avoid legal and religious harassment of the GNU fanatics.Code was meant to be free.

  14. Doesn't Gutenberg copyright it's e-books? on Read To Your Children, Go To Jail (Not Really) · · Score: 1

    Forgive me as I didn't RTFwhatever,
    but doesn't the Gutenberg project copyright works that they type in?
    Or is that legal to recopyright a public domain work in a new format?
    If it is legal, then it should be copyrighted with some sort of "All derivations must be free" copy aggreement.

    If there is no basis for such a copyright, then obviously there is no basis for re-copyrighting a Gutenberg e-book.

    And has anyone tried to explain "Gimp" to a non-Linux person? Or to a handicapped person?

  18. GNU/Hurd on Debian Hurd Still Coming · · Score: 1

    First, Debian's GNU Hurd based OS is "GNU/Hurd".
    Second, Debian's Linux based OS is "GNU/Linux".
    Third, No I won't call other Linux Distributions by Debians product name.

  22. Human brain is Turing machine or Magic. on What Computers Really Can't Do · · Score: 1

    Either the smallest component of the brain can be broken down to some logic (that can be replicated on a computer). Or there is some magic involved.

    And if you believe in evolution, wouldn't you think if nature can randomly create intelligence, that we could do the same with the assistence of our machines and randomness?
