  1. My guess is... on MySQL and SCO Join Forces · · Score: 1

    MySQL is "dual licensed" with a commercial license available. SCO probably licensed the commercial version so they could say they aren't including GPLed software in their OS.

  2. Re:My move is still on Blizzard/Vivendi 2, bnetd 0 · · Score: 1

    For me, Diablo 2 itself was enough to make me want to boycott Blizzard.

    Blizzard have every right to develop something and say MINE! NOT YOURS!

    Nobody has the right to sell me something and then say MINE! NOT YOURS!
    I paid for it, it's MINE, NOT THEIRS. And don't even get into the EULA stuff. For some reason, it shows up as a blank text entry on my computer. Must be a bug.

    Unless the virus/trojan horse/spyware is running as the current user.
    Seriously, if programs you run as user can't access your bookmarks or history.... then how the heck would your browser be able to do it?

    We'll get some genetically engineered dogs to take care of the genetically modified cats. Problem solved.

    We don't want to crush their souls and demolish all self esteem they have, we just don't want them associated with us.

  9. Re:Damn you Google! on Google's Turn To Be The Villain · · Score: 2, Insightful

    One thing I've noticed no one has said:
    When I'm working on a coding project, if I work on that project non-stop, I eventually hit walls. I tend to work on other projects every now and again just to keep the brain juices flowing.
    By giving their employees the opportunity to work on other projects, they're both keeping their minds stimulated as well as (I'd imagine) lowering stress levels.
    I used to work for a company that understood this effect and would let me tinker with things unrelated to work whenever I wanted, without the manager getting on me about "milestones" and "release dates."

  10. Re:So where's a screenshot of the browser? on PSP 2.0 Update Finally Released · · Score: 1

    By the way, I'm sure it supports JS and CSS, but i'm not sure about SSL or Flash.

  11. Re:So where's a screenshot of the browser? on PSP 2.0 Update Finally Released · · Score: 1

    While I don't really have a place to host a picture, I do have the 2.0 web browser. It's pretty nice, although I'm still not sure I like the keyboard. It's still the mobile-phone type interface, with .com, .net, .html, and other extensions added on.
    If anyone has a place to host the pictures, I'd be glad to take a few and email them to you.

  13. Re:Firmware upgrade on PSP Function Additions In the Works · · Score: 1

    I have a PSP, and part of the "Games" menu it has "Memory Stick"
    Clicking that results in "There are no games." so i would assume loading a game from the memory stick is already possible.
    By the way, does anyone have any links to interesting things i can do with my recent acquisition? I have a couple games i'm enjoying, but i admit i was hoping for more. If only there were a gameboy emulator on it.

    What's funny is the first result was a bunch of posts by "Infinite Loop" and the second result was someone complaining about an infinite loop with the ATi 9600XT.
