  1. What about the buses? on Later School Start For Teenagers Brings Drop In Absenteeism · · Score: 1

    What really drives things (no pun intended) around here are the school buses.

    First they go around and pick up and deliver the High and Middle schoolers ,
    then the Elementary school kids.

    Suggesting two sets of buses or (gasp!) doing the elementary kids first would
    be dismissed as lunacy.

  2. Re:Moral of the story on Soyuz 4/5 Made History 40 Years Ago Today · · Score: 1

    Apollo 9 was a earth orbital mission only. Apollo 8 orbited the moon, but
    without a Lunar Module. Apollo 9 was the first manned test of the Lunar Module - but
    only in Earth Orbit. Also it launched March 9th, 1969, after Soyuz 4 and 5.

  3. Re:Linksys routers? on FSF Files Suit Against Cisco For GPL Violations · · Score: 1

    The early model wrt54g s did use linux,
    then they "upgraded" the later models
    (actually cut the amount of ram) and replaced
    linux with something else. By popular
    demand the produced the GL, which is the
    original model.

  4. It really has the sensors for this? on Spacecraft to Fly Through Geyser Plumes On Saturn Moon · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It can really analyse the water samples? Wow, I'm impressed.

    NASA really wants the probe to get a wash down.

  5. Are they going to go after the T.V. Show "Chuck" ? on Best Buy Hands Out Cease & Desist Letters for Christmas · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Buy More is such a rip of Best Buy.

  6. The end of TinyURL. on TinyDisk, A File System on Someone Else's Web App · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The end of TinyURL is in sight. Yes, this is (probably) a clever hack.
    But this is a misuse of a really useful service.

    When TinyURL's administrator has to either go out and buy his
    second 2Terabyte disk array in a week or shutdown, which do
    you think he will pick?

  7. Just another indication ... on IBM Plans to Open the Cell Processor · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This is just another indication that
    IBM "gets" Open Source

  8. I personally am upset with RH on Red Hat's CEO Suggests Windows For Home Users · · Score: 0

    I'm upset with RH... Here I am
    trying to sell, sell, sell
    Linux to my company.
    I have some sort of success but I
    suck it up and we standardize on
    what is NOT my first choice, namely
    RedHat. Now they pull the rug out from
    under me.

  9. carbon just recycled. on 4 Tons Of Plants per Mile to Ride In Your Car · · Score: 0

    But the carbon that would be lost during the
    conversion from plants to fossil fuel would
    eventually be recycled back into plants, which would
    be converted into fossil fuels...

    etc. etc.

  10. Re:SCO responds. on IBM Adds SCO Counterclaim Charging Copyright Infringement · · Score: 0

    Actually, this statement is pretty consistent with
    their (ridiculous) viewpoint and legal opinion that anything that was every developed for or from or used the same bathroom as sysV is their IP and belongs to them.

    They are claiming that they OWN linux, because their
    view is, it is a deriviative (by their definition) of sysV.

  11. they're crooks and they lie too! on SCO's Plan Examined · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    What a surprise.

  12. code not in 2.4.22-rc2 on "Stolen" SCO Linux Code Snippets Leaked · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This code, indeed the whole module, is
    not even in 2.4.22-rc2.

  13. is it legal to copy bsd code and then gpl it? on "Stolen" SCO Linux Code Snippets Leaked · · Score: 1

    Is it legal to copy code from bsd and
    apply the GPL to it?

  14. how many monkeys did it take ? on Open Source Community Approaches SCO · · Score: 1

    I wonder just how lone it took how many
    monkeys to detirmine that there is millions
    of lines of infringing code.

    I just flatly DO NOT believe its possible!

    Seriously, what is there algorithm for detecting
    infringing lines of code? Maybe they are going
    by file names? ie there is a file name called
    printk.c in the linux kernel and one in sys V....
    It must be a copy!!!!

  15. Re:Heise News shows a code: on Open Source Community Approaches SCO · · Score: 1

    Funny, in 2.4.22-rc2
    I could only find "mutex_spinlock" in ./arch/ia64/sn/io/sn2/pcibr/pcibr_intr.c ./arch/ia64/sn/io/sn2/xbow.c ./arch/ia64/sn/io/io.c ./include/asm-ia64/sn/sgi.h ./include/asm-ia64/sn/router.h

    "mutex_spinlock(maplock"
    appears NOWHERE!

  16. If MacBride etc start taking creatine ... on SCO Announces Final Termination of IBM's Licence · · Score: 1

    ... will they get any smarter?

  17. what is sooo special about shared source? on Ballmer Wants to "Stomp Linux" Using MS community · · Score: 1

    Why does Ballmer think that allowing more people
    to just look at the source code is going to do
    any good? Why would anybody want to? You can't
    do anything with it... in fact, it could be
    argued that one would be forever "tainted" in
    some legal sense... If you argue to so that
    one could possible use some undocumentated feature, I say it shouldn't be undocumented!

  18. BSD license? on LGPL or BSD-Style License for Media Codecs? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't the BSD license allow other companies
    to use your code without compensation? I understand that parts of the windows TCP stack are actually from BSD.

    I believe sleepycat software http://www.sleepycat.com uses GPL for people who want it free and their own license for companies
    who need it.
