    If you're talking GPL, that's not an EULA, it's a *distribution* license. GPL specifically states you do not need to agree to it to use the software.

    BSD isn't an EULA either.

  5. Re:RTF.... on CFLs Causing Utility Woes · · Score: 1

    No, it's context-free languages. The utilities in question are obviously not YACC or LEX.

  6. Re:New blood on Star Trek Premiere Gets Standing Ovation, Surprise Showing In Austin · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, you see, the Enterprise crashes on this planet, and all sorts of spooky things happen.
    Meanwhile, these aliens, called "The Others" keep harassing the crew.
    And there are lots of flashbacks to just before the Enterprise crashes.

    Right! There will be none of that here!

  8. Re:The Only Change You Can Believe In on Obama Administration Defends Warrantless Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    But I'm a registered Libertarian. So why is my "third party" vote wasted?

  9. Re:The Only Change You Can Believe In on Obama Administration Defends Warrantless Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    No, for them, it makes their job easier. The issue, when boiled down, is the old "greater good" argument again.

    I don't even have to say anything, other than to ask you to read my sig.

  10. Re:The Only Change You Can Believe In on Obama Administration Defends Warrantless Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    By your theory, then, a vote for McCain in 2008 was a "wasted vote".

    That's not a mistake. In LA, most of the HQ's *are* in high crime areas.

    Downtown, Van Nuys, etc...

  15. Re:Proof! on Quantum Setback For Warp Drives · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I realized that I forgot to capitlaize the "V". Sorry.

  16. Re:Finally Fedora? on First Look At Fedora 11 Beta Release · · Score: 1

    Just a minor nitpick. The last Fedora release to be called "Fedora Core" was FC6. Anything after that is simply "Fedora".

    Therefore, Fedora Core 9 was never released.

    Antimatter still has positive mass. It takes 2*.511Mev to make an electron and a positron. If antimatter had negative mass, it would take 0.

    Or you wind up in a dream where you're a NYPD cop in 1973.

  21. Re:Too Bad, that they do not carry it further on Google Reveals "Secret" Server Designs · · Score: 1

    The smart move is to move the battery OUT of the case and into the power supply

    That'll be real useful when you want to use your laptop where there's no external power.

  22. And then on New Legislation Would Federalize Cybersecurity · · Score: 2, Funny

    the terrorists build a CIP device, and then storm the White House, and then they get bioweapons in DC.

    All I'm saying is that you can call it treason, but if they were charged with treason, any judge would throw it out immediately, on Constitutional grounds.
