    My parents next upgrade is going to be to Linux, either redhat or SUSIE.

    Ant the reasion they are concedering this is because of an artical in Witch magazeen saying how stable and secure Linux is.

  4. Re:Just go away... on Wired Interview with Linus Torvalds · · Score: 1

    One of the things that keeps Jurnos comming back to Linus is that hew is willing to be the PR guy for the project.

    If you wanted to do an artical on the ins and outs of device drivers then Linus is probably not going to be your first point of call.

    If you want to do an artical on the acdental hero who started a movment that the richest man in the world wories about then you go to Linus.

  5. Re:What's next? on Microsoft Patents Your Local Weather Report · · Score: 1

    Sorry but the patent claims all other methods that fall within the spirit of the clame. So it looks like returning any markup is in breach.

    Over on our side of the pond in good old blighty the editor of the Sun newspaper once pubblished a top secret document.

    What are people using P2P to share.

    Is it nSync, Britny and the rest of the modern pre packaged cr*p that is produced thease days. Or are people shairing back catalogs of songs that are hard to impossable to get.

    And yes I know I'm showing my age now :)

    No. Civerlisation is OK.

    However I allways thaught that there was a minus sign missing in the calculation somewhere as cruption, ie waste, increased the further away from the capatal you went.

  14. UK Company on Data Protection in the UK? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If i've read this right, then a company with an office in the UK that is using offshore call centers with out telling you, especially if they get their call center staff to lie about their location, will either be guilty of a breach of the Data Protection act or fraud.

    If the call is advertised as ending overseas then I don't think there is much you can do about it.

    WTF has this got to do with curing cansor.

    On a side note. Does any one remember thoes old Redybreck adverts with the glowing children. Now we can make that a reality.

    I think the adult would be in breach of the EULA as they have used the software.

    However, Microsoft could clame that the minor is not leagaly entiled to instal the software as they are unable to agree to the licence terms.

    So if this is what happened, until an adult aggreas to the licence no one cane use the software

    It wasn't true 3D. you caould just zoom in and out. or move towards a label.

  21. Re:3D with VRML/*.wrl files on Looking At The Linux Kernel · · Score: 2

    This was not that, I remember Cosmo Player.

    This was not realy a 3d render more like a 3d lable viewer.

    You could create text lablels and link them to other lables. Which would then be rendewred in a 3d space that you could navigate through.

    Works fine for me.

    However the less flipent answer is for the window manager developers to add this functionality into thier control pannels.

    As a quick asside, howmuch of the bloat on MS install CD's is due to the device capabilities DB.
