  1. Re:Makes sense. on Google Throws Microsoft Under Bus, Then Won't Patch Android Flaw · · Score: 1

    That's not a contradiction at all. Apple simply won't sell phones to carriers that won't agree to let Apple control the updates. That doesn't in any way contradict the fact that carriers have the capability to prevent updates.

  2. Re:Ohhh the irony... on Anonymous Goes After GodHatesFags.com · · Score: 1

    You had to invoke Godwin, didn't you?

  3. Re:where are IPV6 routers and modems?? on Last Available IPv4 Blocks Allocated · · Score: 1

    What about a simple IPv6 router that works just like our IPv4 home gateway NAT routers today?

    You've missed the point. With IPv6, you don't need NAT. NAT is a response to the limited address space available with IPv4.

  4. Re:reinforcement learning vs. simulation on Stanford's "Autonomous" Helicopters Learn · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's recording and playing the commands of a human pilot instead of simulating a dynamic model and deducing commands based on a genetic algorithm.

    Or, you could RTFA.

    As Oku repeated a maneuver several times, the trajectory of the helicopter inevitably varied slightly with each flight. But the learning algorithms created by Ng's team were able to discern the ideal trajectory the pilot was seeking. Thus the autonomous helicopter learned to fly the routine better - and more consistently - than Oku himself.

  5. Re:Great sentiment... on Comcast To Cap Data Transfers At 250 GB In October · · Score: 3, Funny

    How does supply and demand work out for the free and the brave?

    We supply the money Comcast demands?

  6. Re:Better approach on Can I Be Fired For Refusing To File a Patent? · · Score: 1

    In my state, there's one more thing you can't be fired for: no reason.

  7. Re:Nope. on Modern LaTeX Replacement? · · Score: 1

    We're a scientific institute running on Ubuntu,

    And there's your problem right there. Ubuntu is OK for a standard user doing a self install, but it's unreliable, in my experience, for anything more complex than "I need to check my email, web browse, and use a word processor." I maintain a campus computer lab, and I finally had to give up on Ubuntu.

  8. Re:There is substance to the disagreement. on Linguistic Problems of GPL Advocacy · · Score: 1

    I would also argue that X11/xorg is a fairly successful project, and it uses neither GPL or the BSD license.

    It also shows us what happens when upstream tries to change the licsense to something the community doesn't like.

  9. Re:Why? on FSF Reaches Out to RIAA Victims · · Score: 1

    Well, see, that's the problem. In cases where the defendant has been able to provide their own expert, it has been shown that the RIAA's evidence doesn't prove anything.

  10. Re:Fear of powers on Dept. of Homeland Security Enforces Expired Patent · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, they can. I usd to own a store, and specifically had a lawyer look up the relevant laws because I was having trouble with a disruptive "patron" coming in frequently.

  11. Re:Wow on Another Hole in Hotmail · · Score: 1
    Quick poll: How long did you use Hotmail, and why did you finally give it up?
    2 Years. I quit when Micro$lave took over and moved to Rocketmail. Then Yahoo grabbed them. I guess it could be worse, 'tho.
