  2. Re:Interesting that on The RIAA's Hit List Named · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It covers exactly 1. The Person named, so what that their name just happens to be the default one installed by K++. You think on the subpoena it says:
    "Name = www.k_lite.tk_Kazaa_Lite@Kazaa"
    or
    "Name = Mr Foo Z Barr a.k.a. www.k_lite.tk_Kazaa_Lite@Kazaa"?

    If you would RTFA you'd see that it is based on a GPS Positioning and a pre-built database of coordinates. Only if the GPS signal is blocked does it resort to Airport beacons. And if you had your beacon transmit 'New York City'

  7. Re:Wow on Zynot Foundation Forks Gentoo · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How can you write code, contribute it to a major GPL project, then not realize that your contribution is one of thousands, and that there is no major plan to reward individual contributors?



    When your 'contributions' include managing the entire ARM and Embedded projects, loaning 5 machines to the infrastructure, then practically thrown out of the loop once the founder figures out there could be good money involved.

  15. Re:Firebird on Mozilla 1.4 RC1 · · Score: 2, Informative

    you mean, "Mozilla Firebird"? According to The Mozilla Branding Strategy: When referring to Thunderbird or Firebird before or during the 1.4 release cycle, make sure to use the project name with Mozilla pre-pended as "Mozilla Thunderbird" or "Mozilla Firebird" instead of Mozilla alone or Firebird/Thunderbird alone.

    and then Use the names "Mozilla Browser" and "Mozilla Mail" to describe the Firebird and Thunderbird projects after the 1.4 release.

    Which I guess makes the old, Firebird-DB problem kind of moot, since after 1.4 there really will be no "Firebird" Browser, just "Mozilla Browser"

  16. Lemme get this straight . . . on Mozilla 1.4 RC1 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I might have to read over the Mozilla Roadmap again, but 1.4 will be the last release based on the XPFE-based Navigator, and will replace 1.0 as the stable release. And starting with 1.5 it will be based on Firebird, which is XUL-based browsr?

  17. Re:Isn't an RFC a request for comment? on Ogg Now An RFC · · Score: 4, Informative
    When the RFCs were first produced, they had an almost 19th century
    character to them - letters exchanged in public debating the merits
    of various design choices for protocols in the ARPANET. As email and
    bulletin boards emerged from the fertile fabric of the network, the
    far-flung participants in this historic dialog began to make
    increasing use of the online medium to carry out the discussion -
    reducing the need for documenting the debate in the RFCs and, in some
    respects, leaving historians somewhat impoverished in the process.
    RFCs slowly became conclusions rather than debates.
    Straight from RFC 2555
