  1. Re:Avoid the HURD on Dr. Dobbs' Journal On Hurd · · Score: 1

    There are other servers on MacOS X as well, but the BSD server has the same memory space as the microkernel itself. The others do not.

    At least that's how it goes, AFAIK.

  2. Re:what type of webserving? on Apache vs IIS in Performance? · · Score: 1

    For static content it's all thttpd.

  3. Re:Can One Electron Hold Infinite Data? on Can One Electron Hold Infinite Data? · · Score: 1

    Infinity isn't a number.

  4. Judaism on SETI Results By Scientific American · · Score: 1

    I'll take the time to say that Judaism doesn't oppose life on other planets, and some Jewish sources openly say it exists. There are also predictions of space travel, so it's clear that Judaism isn't hostile to the idea of extraterrestrial life.

  5. Re:It's About Time . . . on Amicus Brief For Napster -- From AT&T And Friends · · Score: 1

    Napster gets in trouble because they aren't a common carrier, they are a search engine for mp3s. There is no reasonable way that the decision could be applied to ISPs.

  6. Re:hahaha on More On Kaplan's Ruling Making Links Illegal · · Score: 1

    It's illegal to distribute DeCSS, isn't it? It isn't illegal to distribute crowbars.

  7. Emmanuel Goldstein on 2600's Response to the DeCSS Decision · · Score: 1

    Wasn't he that guy with the braids in Hackers?

  8. Re:I was wondering. on New Nautilus Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Slashdot didn't take out Apple.com by themselves, the combined linkage from all of the press really slowed it down though.

  9. Re:Not a bad idea but... on Interesting Way To Protest Napster · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be selective upholding of their TOS? They let copyright infringers (99.9% of their users) stay online, but if somebody tries posting bogus files, they're gone!

  10. Re:A joke too far on FSF Proposes .gnu TLD To ICANN · · Score: 1

    It's pronounced g-nu, with two syllables.

  11. MC Paul Barman on She Blinded Me With Quickies · · Score: 1

    The link is wrong, his site is actually http://www.mcpaulbarman.com/

  12. Re:The Slogan on Michael Abrash On X-Box Graphics · · Score: 1

    There were many multitasking systems before Unix. I also doubt that Linux came up with the idea of sound on computers. In fact, Linux's sound support is crappy compared to most platforms.

  13. Re:The Slogan on Michael Abrash On X-Box Graphics · · Score: 2

    A lot of the elements you see in the modern GUI were designed by Apple, not Xerox. See http://www.mackido.com/Interface/u i_history.htm on the topic of stealing GUIs.

  14. Re:Buttonless mouse? Why pay for it? on Possible Pics Of The New Apple Mouse · · Score: 1

    Why shouldn't industrial design be a factor in purchasing a computer? People want to feel comfortable when they're using a computer, and having it look nice is one way of achieving this. Another way is having a consistent interface, another thing which Apple is known for.

  15. Nooooo! on Oil Slick Threatens African Penguins · · Score: 5

    Will this delay the 2.4.0 kernel release?

  16. Re:biggfest mistake on Microsoft Releases C# Language Reference · · Score: 1

    Not only normal macros, but hygienic macros!

  17. Re:FUD on Beta BeOS R5 OpenGL Benchmarks Smoke Linux and Win · · Score: 1

    A good OS should try to stop the programs from pushing the computer into a crash.

  18. Re:RISC on Is The x86 Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    > Heh, typed faster than my mind thought.

    I could type faster than your mind thinks with a straw up my nose.

  19. Re:Licences on Adobe Sues MacNN Over Photoshop Article · · Score: 1

    No, but they broke the licence/NDA. Adobe has mentioned that their terms don't allow disclosure of this kind.

  20. Licences on Adobe Sues MacNN Over Photoshop Article · · Score: 1

    People are saying that because they may have pirated (ooh there's that word again) the beta, then they do not have to follow the terms of the licence and/or NDA.

    What if someone else gave me a copy of Emacs without the GPL mentioned anywhere, could I distribute it in any form I wish?

  21. Re:Question: What about remixes? on Napster Wars · · Score: 1

    Actually, that is wrong. If the sample is recognizable, and forms a "significant part" of the derived work, it is infringement.

  22. Re:Non-profit organizations? on Data Haven To Open For Business - Today · · Score: 1

    No offence, but most of this "free speech" people seems to be advocating is just plain old "breaking the law".

  23. Re:ONE unsigned download? / OT: mp3.com banned me on At Last And At Length: Lars Speaks · · Score: 1

    Too bad you sign away your music when you post it up on mp3.com, eh?

  24. Re:HISTORY OF THE WORLD on Ham Radio Repeater On The Moon? · · Score: 1

    One of the greatest posts of all time. Truly a masterpiece.
