  1. The US should rebuild Iraq on Rebuilding Iraq's Internet · · Score: 1

    And hand them a big fat pile of money to start off from scratch again. No strings attached. Ok? That is the only thing that would be fair.

  2. Re:Please on MPlayer 0.90 released; MPlayer Maintainer Leaves · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes. And we love it!

    Seriously, ofcourse it had been better to do it in some other way, but what do you propose?

  3. Re:Please on Open Source DRM · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Time to comment on that ol' RFC 3514. It looks like we need to double the amount of evil bits. I'd set one to 1 and the other to 0 here... =)

  4. Re:is it a good idea? on African animals to roam Australia ? · · Score: 1

    If mother nature had wanted elefants erased from the face of the earth, she would have taken care of that before man arrived too, huh?

    We're in charge now. At least partially. I see nothing wrong with this. Sure, I don't live in Australia, and I can understand the "worries" the aussies have about making changes to the eco system, but hey, they'll get elefants! =)

  5. A Swedish ARM7-clone on OpenCores.org ARM Clone Removed From Web · · Score: 1
    This project is definitely related. These guys have built an ARM7-clone too. They considered making it public under a free/open source license but were apparently afraid of legal consequences.

    I think it's scary.

    Hehe...

    Now, how do you like this, all you American capitalists? Beijing San Huan New Material High-tech, Inc ownz you!

    Time to pay for not giving that public excuse for the spy plane quickly enough!

  8. Re:8.4" screen? on Casio's Lin-Win Hybrid Laptop To Ship Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    > Man that's tiny.. I thought my 15" screen on my
    > Dell was bad

    Hm... Well, the theoretical max size for a screen on this thing seems to be less than 12" (and that's based on the dimensions given... the lid is slightly smaller than the notebook itself).

    > but running resolutions greater than 800x600

    Lucky it only runs 800x600 then...

    Nice machine, but too expensive for me. I'm going for a Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook B2154. I think.

  9. Re:IBM makes lots from patents on Software Patents vs. Free Software · · Score: 1
    > I wonder if it is possible to "GPL" a patent.

    Hmm... Dunno, but it seems to be possible to patent GPL:ed code... Or something.

    Check this license out.

  12. DNS not good enough anymore? on Phone Numbers Instead of URLs? · · Score: 1

    Don't you think that all this hype around DNS nowadays show that DNS maybe isn't the best solution? Or at least not the way we use it today, with the few top-level domains...

    There are some standard answers to this that
    we've heard a lot recently:

    1) Get rid of top-level domains altogether

    Sure... But this won't make the battle for domains
    go away, right? Rather make it tougher.

    2) Make use of higher-level domains more extensively

    Great idea, but we'll never convince corporations. If they come up with a great product/service/whatever they will want the domain-name for that as well as for their company, and a dozen more...

    3) Make the top-level domains completely free

    Like alternative number one, right? Only shift the fight one step to the rigth.

    4) And so on...

    What I would like to know is if someone is thinking of alternative ways to resolve names to addresses. No, I don't mean the alternative ("rouge") DNS:es, but completely new ways! Decentralized preferrably. Built around mechanisms similar to Freenet perhaps?

    Anyone?

  13. Is a Sparc 4 useful anyway? on Slackware For Sparc · · Score: 1

    Hi!

    I'm going to get a Sparc 4 for free, and I just wonder if it's worth keeping. I used them a couple of uears ago, but I'm really not aware of what kind of power that sits inside them. Is it possible to run Linux with X and, say Afterstep, with decent speed on one of these? Or should I aim a bit lower (firewall? proxy?)...

    Should I go for Solaris or Linux? I'd like to try Solaris just to see the differences, but is it worth it?

    From www.bluetooth.com:

    The Bluetooth Specification is a de facto standard containing the information required to ensure that diverse devices supporting the Bluetooth wireless technology can communicate with each other worldwide.

    The Core part specifies components such as the radio, baseband, link manager, service discovery protocol, transport layer, and interoperability with different communication protocols. The Profiles part specifies the protocols and procedures required for different types of Bluetooth applications.

  15. F18 Interceptor on The Continuing Rise Of Amiga · · Score: 1

    It changed my life...

    Need I say more? That game took all I had seen of computers before, wrapped it up in a large tortilla and shoved it down my throat. I was simply astonished. It made me choose Amiga before Atari, gave me some really memorable nights of cool gaming, brought me through the demo scene, taught me computer architecture, assembly language programming and a lot of basic computer skills in general. Heck... Made me wear sunscreen...

    Would love to see a revival of this fabulous machine! For sure!
