  1. Just great on U.S. Navy to Deploy Rail Guns by 2011 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nobody attacks the position of strength. What good is a BFG when we're the only target and small groups pick at us piece by piece?

  2. Re:DRM by any other name on CRF Reveals Draft of New DRM Technology · · Score: 1

    Copyright is supposed to expire. Today it does not.
    DRM is not supposed to expire.
    Either way you're house is built on a garbage heap.

  3. Re:It locked up Netscape on OEone HomeBase Desktop · · Score: 1

    You must be using Netscape 4 or something. Everything works fine on my copy of Mozilla. (Red Hat 7.2, Mozilla built last night.) Besides, don't you think it would be the kiss of death for them to have a web site that won't work in the browser they distribute?

    Only problem: that flash demo was not made for an 800x600 screen. (grumble, stupid video card, grumble)

  4. Re:Why? on Netscape 6.1 · · Score: 1

    And of course there is a bug logged in bugzilla on using pspell. Try http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56301 and that should get you there. It hasn't moved in a while, but maybe someone can help.

  5. Re:Whatever happened to Netscape 5? Did I miss it? on Netscape 6 · · Score: 5

    Netscape 5, aka Netscape Classic, was the first version that Netscape released as open source. The mozilla team worked on it for a while, then gave up as the code was rather hideous to work with. Netscape 6 is where they started over from the ground up.

  6. Re:... on Now It's Doctor Linus Torvalds · · Score: 2

    From what I understand, Linus is foremost a practical person. He will include/exclude code from the kernel because that code is good or bad, not for any particular ideology. And I don't see any practical reason for him to refuse such an honor. Unless I'm mistaken, he has at least a BS from the University of Helsinki. Refuse an honorary degree to show you don't need a degree although you already have a lesser one? Doesn't make sense to me.

  7. AIM for Linux? on MS Dirty Pool Against AOL? · · Score: 1
    Does anyone know if this has anything to do with the recent disapperance of Tik and the other versions of AIM? Or did they just move while I wasn't looking? I noticed there's the biginning of something at tik.com if that's related...

  8. Re:This article's ok.... on PCMag's PCTech Reviews Linux Kernel 2.2 · · Score: 1

    While that may have been nice, this was primarily an article about the kernel, right? Might as well say that it didn't mention the fact that you don't have to run a GUI at all on servers...
