  1. Re:Release pagerank on Google And Open Source · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They would be starting a war? I don't know where you were the past ten years, but that was has started quite some time ago (like just about when search engines showed up)

  2. Re:Another indictment of MySql on Power Outage Takes Wikimedia Down · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but MySQL does have a transaction log. It's called Binary Log and you can read about it in the documentation.

  3. Re:Meh. Innovation, please? on Rhythmbox Gets iPod Support · · Score: 1

    One vote goes to KimDaba. I have never used such a tool on Windows and I don't know if there is any. There probably is. But anyway, it's okay at least for your points 0, 1, 2, 4.

  4. Re:Don't flame the devs on Mplayer Revisited · · Score: 2, Informative

    Last time I checked, packaging MPlayer had major license problems. I believe at some time it was not even allowed to package according to a clause in the MPlayer license.

    But even now there are problems because of all the libraries which are not in the GPL or any other Free Software license. And this is a problem mainly for Debian which has pretty rigid license terms.

    Just checked and yes, there are still issues. See http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/news.html #debianandsusesux.

  5. Re:Hmmm... on Snail Mail As E-Mail · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't know if you read the page. They also batch-forward you the physical mail.

    So you get the mail immediately wherever you are and have Internet access but also get the physical stuff a few days later if you really want it.

    At least that's how I understand the product site.

  6. Re:The True MSN telling on How Objective Is Microsoft's Search? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try alltheweb.com. The link search seems to better over there.

    The following statistic has been generated using
    link:domain -site:domain

    yahoo.com: 73,025,040
    google.com: 20,613,802
    msn.com: 15,157,713
    msnbc.com: 3,042,855

    Yahoo scores mainly because they have lots of other domains like geocities or four11.

    See the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs to know why.

    Alt+F Alt+S - this remembers me of Emacs.

    and since about Win98 - not quite sure - they introduced a very big innovation. You can now save with Ctrl+S. That's why I use MS, they still have innovations.

  9. DMCA on FBI Files Brief on Scarfo Keylogger · · Score: 1

    I don't know the American law very much. But as far as I know it's illegal to circumvent encription after the DMCA, isn't it? Would it be possible to fight against this keylogger citing the DMCA?

  11. Re:apt-get versus dselect on Debian's apt-get vs Mandrake's urpmi? · · Score: 1
    In short: I hope not.
    I never use dselect, because it does too much for me. Just a personal taste.
    In addition, what I've learned to do is use dselect as a tool for searching for obscure packages I need (but don't remember the package name, etc.)
    Why not use apt-cache search for this? I always use this for searching packages.
