10 years too late?

On: Sun Opens OpenSolaris.Org

If you notice its the same fro open sourcing frotnier fro Dave Winer..

Only the core devleopers of the OS and no outsiders..

and tha tis not enough to reoslve the shrinking market share..

It snot low price alone that People are choosing Red Hat or other Linux vendors but the degree of openeness and cooperative goals world wide amoung very different companies like Sun(Gnome), IBM(Red Hat/Suse), HP, and etc..

and when you have Solaris hardware at $16,000 compared to the same hardware from tigerdirect at $6,000 I think maybe there is a large problem at SUN

a point for HP..

On: HP to Region-code Cartridges

Go to any Best Buy, Office Depo, and etc and buy both an HP ink cart and an Epson cart...

Now look at the outer package..

9 out of 10 times its in Japaneese or another asian language..

while might soudn like an excellent short term way to boost profits..

Sooon the suppliers wil rebel and cause HP pain..

Fire the CEo now befoe the ship sinks!!

Farm Burea and Monsato

On: Plant a Seed, Get Sued?

the reason why there is no us press is becasue Farm Burea and Monsato are co conspirators in this..

Monsato owns indirect control of Farm Burua..

For those that do not know Farm Burea is Co-Op that provides feed/seed, and etc to farmers at alledgely lower prices and sells their crops at alledgely higher prices..

Post Mail

On: Dispute Continues Over Posthumous Yahoo! Mail

remember folks inpostal mail we have the saem rules..

Its illegaql for a non recipent to view unless recipent gives permission..

and that is a standard bnoth in USA and Europe..

MS in JAIL?

On: US To Push Criminalization of IP Violations

Remember folks, MS was convicted of infringing someone's IP..does this mean finally MS will face legal accoutnability for being a monopolist?

Remember the facts

On: Laser Painting Could Lead to 25-Year Prison Term

Fact,

This idiot bought a commercial grade laser, not a laser pinpointer.. nUmber, two when confronted blamed inon his daughter when questioned by FBI..

I woudl say that is enough illegal intent there to get him the full 25 years..

MS Code signing

On: How Can I Trust Firefox?

Most when presented with MS code being signed and the other choice of having s ecure product unsigned..choose the latter..

Maybe Ms should try actually ore hours on fixing the MSIE corrupted SpyGlass code they have instead of pretty code signing smoke screens..

MS has $40 Billion to fix these problems..instead they spend more omney on bad PR instead..

Give a finger to Bill todya.. DOWNLOAD FIREFOX AND DO NOT LOOK BACK

Mr Bush

On: Consensus on Global Warming

Maybe Mr Bush should have learn to read science papers or maybe acccept views based on facts different from his onw?

It servicees oh stupid one

On: Sun's COO Pretends Linux Belongs To Red Hat

this COO really baffles the mind..

A question hwo many OSes is IBM and HP selling and supporting..answer more than 3..

why do HP and IBm win and sun ont?

Because instead of concentrating on competing in sevices this COO woudl rather tell FUD tales than do honest relfection on managment issues in the way of profits..

He makes Enron top brass look like saints..

Lack of Accountability

On: Former CIA Head Calls for Limiting Access to the Internet

ahem read the last sentence in the reprt..press was excluded form the event..

Not jsut osme press but all press.

Seems this idiot wants to obfuscate as the crucial technique of security..

would you trust your cc number to this idiot based on obfuscatioas the only security measure?

remember

On: Ex-Britannica Editor Reviews Wikipedia

Remember that if you compare word for word it salmost the same arguement that Bill Gates offered for the predicted failure of linux..

sypglass employees

On: Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE

hmm last I heard Spyglass emlpoyees had a different view on this..

You do remember spyglass, right?

The company that MS bought IE code from?

stupid

On: New Rules Make Domain Hijacking Easier

Hey people do you know how a domain name lock works?

Story conclusion only works for those who do not lock their domain names

comdex 1997

On: Will Your Next Car Run Windows?

You know at comdex in 1997 at chicago MS proclaimed that windows would soon be in autos..

Here it is 2004 and the auto industry has embraced embedded linux instead..

So where is the proof of MS's statement?

makes you go what TF?

On: SCO To Counter Groklaw With 'Fair' Coverage

they got tired of sys-con.com sinking numbers after publishing..whoops regurtiating their pr statements...

The only high readership will bein IBM lawyers and the JUdges.. not exactly a pro TSCOG audience..

Misstakes

On: Presidential Candidates Arrested at Debates

..

1. Court order would have been more meaningfull coming from the DC sourts as the private corp being served is fromt hat distric..

2. Whend you serve aprivate corp that intedns to civillly attempt to block being served you send a large group of lawyers and ask fro police attendenance from the local police department..

about as bad as the ProgressiveParty Nader shooting his own fooot..

If you want to play with the big boys..know the unwritten rules..

Unit testing first

On: Alan Cox on Writing Better Software

You do nto notice major differences until you do unit test first as part of the design process before doing OO code...

Because it is short cutting the design pahse by takign youd own less unworkable roads ti improves the design while decreasing tiem to complete the code..

That is why the phole complete process is called agile!!!

Unit testing after the design is not very effective except to catch where things break after a change

2 corrections

On: A Security Bug In Mozilla - The Human Perspective

Its FOSS not FLOSS! ..and security si a 2 step or 2 parts of a whole:

-Finding bugs
-Clean/Clear Architecture

implying that finding bugs is imperfect as far as fixing security is a misnomer as it never was designed to fix security..the architecture was!!

For example, in inventory audits its not the coutners accuracy that you depend on becasue they are only minmum wage and not skiled..you depend upon the framework of the audit to gurantee some accuracy by using analysis and stts..

Same principle applies here..

Father of VMS and winNT

On: Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Software

what does that say about the Father of VMS and winNT then or maybe Gates?

MS Numbers

On: Ballmer Says iPod Users are Thieves

This year 1 billion mobile devices are deployed with it doubling to 2 billion this next year ..now how many desktops are delpoyed..

Less than 1 billion..

The future is not MS PC on mobiles..

Its J2ME ..Apple just hired people to put iTunes on J2me

Sonny Bono must be hitting that tree again and again and again

ahem MS has violated Patents so what?

On: Patent Concerns Unlikely To Nix Munich Linux Plan

So lets see because MS has vioalte dPatens we shoudl ahem trust MS instead of Linux?

Note patent violatiosn are nto violatiosn until the court case is lost..

Has linux lost any patent cases yet? Of course the answer is no..

Is there court cases MS has lost that are patent violations, yes..and no not the current borwser one..
