  1. Re:Well.. on SugarCRM 6 Released, But Is It Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Yes, the community edition is AGPL, but they dont say anything about what license the Pro/Enterprise versions are.

  2. Re:They aren't called BlizTard for nothing. on ESRB Exposes Emails of Gamers Who Filed Privacy Complaints · · Score: 1

    When some horrible situation plays out on the evening news, BlizTard will end up sued down to foodstamps in a trailer park for liabilities.

    Or the better solution is to stop being a dick. If you're a dick 'IRL' then yes, somebody may beat your ass. So don't be a dick online and having your name out there wont matter.

    What's coplay? Is that like co-op?

    Yea, it was supposed to have strikethrough, but I stubmitted before preview.

  5. ... can preserve the record of a person's travels. on Things You Drink Can Be Used To Track You · · Score: 1

    And because the human body breaks down water's constituent atoms of hydrogen and oxygen to construct the proteins that make hair cells, those cells can preserve the record of a person's the travels of things people drink.

    Fixed that for you. This would work if we didn't ship products throughout the country. Get pulled over for a DUI, "Couldn't have been me, check my hair! I've been in Fort Collins!"

  6. Re:Great! on Google Wave Out of Beta · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's actually not difficult to see what it can be used with. Basically, anything you type can be a wave. Any content you create can be a wave. The problem is people see Google Wave as the product.

    No, most people see it as a solution in search of a problem.

  9. Re:OBT is not breaking any laws on Swedish Court Rules ISP Must Reveal OpenBitTorrent Operator's Identity · · Score: 1

    We're talking about sharing pop music and shitty hollywood movies, for god's sake. It's the equivalent of a kid sneaking into the circus, not capital crimes.

    Unless it's an "Evil Big Company" violating the GPL on some product, and they it's a "Big Deal" again.

  10. Re:Yeah. That's it. on ImageLogr Scrapes "Billions" of Images Illegally · · Score: 1

    If I want my images archived, it's my responsibility and those that I delegate the responsibility to. If someone else has done this, then they've stolen my work, as in ripped me off.

    Should I want to use a license that give rights to someone else, I'll do so. Until then, the decision is mine.

    Now wait a minute, remember when it's movies it's not stealing, but now that it's your pictures it's stealing? No lost sale remember.

  11. I'm confused on Car Hits Utility Pole, Takes Out EC2 Datacenter · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's not the state, it's the school.

    The Texas Public School Nutrition Policy (TPSNP) explicitly states that it does not restrict what foods or beverages parents may provide for their own children's consumption.

    Where is the outrage?

    probably non-existant because you gave this information out to a third-party willingly.

  16. Re:A simple test on Do You Have a Secret Immunity To 3D Movies? · · Score: 1

    You can also try the above test with one eye closed. You will almost always fail at step 4.

    I'd likely fall into the 12% that has 'problems' with binocular vision. I've got strabismus (even after 3 surgeries and glasses) and astigmatism. I don't really see one stereo picture, I can do left eye, right eye, and both, if that makes any sense. When reading due to the strabismus, it's usually confusing as all hell reading two different things, so I pick a 'primary eye' and read with it. It's been like that for as long as I can remember, so I've learned to adapt, so no, I'm usually almost spot on trying that with one eye.

  17. So . . . on Toyota Accelerator Data Skewed Toward Elderly · · Score: 4, Insightful

    parking, pulling out of a parking space, in stop and go traffic, at a light or stop sign... in other words, probably starting up from a complete stop

    They could even host some of the relevant bits of system software and web browser glue-ware.

    It does already. Wikipedia uses the OGGHandler extension which tries to determine automagically what method for displaying video the client supports. It supports attempting to use the following clients:

    • Cortado (bundled Java applet)
    • VLC
    • QuickTime with XiphQT
    • Totem
    • Kaffeine
