RMs goes Senile

On: Interview with Dr. Villanueva

It is interesting that RMS will use the method of distoring every one lese's comments on the issue to try to supported his view point...

To: RMS

Want to name an os system then do you own!

Your tool sfrom gnu already got mentioned numerous times and prasied ..

Stop stomping our damn CLOUD!

ah this title is misleading

On: Software Glitches Cause Airport Delays in Britain

There are flight control/traffic control projects in open source..

Anybody who has caught transport to LA and flew out did so on open source traffic control all the way from the train transport to flying out..

the software runs on Linux currently....

There awas even an article in several linux magazines..

huh Sprint claims no hacks in LasVegas?

On: Mysteries of the Las Vegas Telecom System

Correct me if I am wrong..

Didn't Kevin Poulsen orginally get charged with hacking into teleco switches in LasVegas and breakins to telco centers searching for phone manuals?

and Didn't also several other teleco phone hackers breakin over the past ten years , so much so that every defcon conf in Lasvegas always has teleco cops, fbi, cai, and treausury officials in attendance?

bans don't work

On: Slashback: Counterstrike, Identification, Patenxtortion

you would think by now germany would know better..

Bans don't work in the long run ..

Fro example the ban on nazism in Germany forced everything underground in which the German police have to expend more hours than otherwise to keep track and monitor theri actions..if they weren't banned everyone woudl know what they are doing due to the fact that they woudl be out in the open in public view..

A Study in Incorrect Programming CS201

On: MSIE Uber-patch Of The Month

You know the only way MS will become a part of computing hsitory in the future is

By making programming mistakes to fix 5 years later..

Okay for some facts:

There is stil no company policy to avoid writing code that produces buffer overflows..the toolkits to help avoid this have been out in every major computing language for over 2 years..

Poor unit testing

..and the list goes on and on..

PanIP server getting attacked?

On: Under Attack by PanIP's Patent Lawyers?

Did anyone notice specific pages at panIP displaying server error pages?

Hmm they have same disease as HURD and Stallman

On: Standard C++ Moves Beyond Vapor

Hmm same disease as HURD and stallman..

Okay whats next in 2012? It will compile COBOL?

Stupid Sun Tricks and Instructions

On: When Shipping the Big Iron...?

Sun really told you to accept a damaged shipment to get a replacement?

Ah, can we say you so stupid..

You NEVER EVER ACCEPT damaged shipments..

Why? Becuase the shipping company does not have to accept fault then if you accept shipment..even theri insurance does not cover it..

No wonder Sun is being shook up..they don't even know how to ship something

hmm no mention of the lawsuit by the EU concerning

On: Microsoft vs. Northwest Schools Part II

Okay now why doesn;t the article mention the lawsuit and investigation by the EU agains MS on this exact licensing scheme and auditing process?

Hmm pretty soon MS shareholders will be worrying..

Stallman trying ot overreach his share of credit

On: The Stallman Factor

Don't get me worng..

I am thankful and glad that Stallman was involved with GCC and Emacs...

However, disrespecting others in their right to call a software product by a name because they creadted it with sadi copyright is a bit much in the price of hearing him speak..

And that price is far way too high! Not even President Clinto gets that high of price for his speeches..

Whats next? Change the Penguin mascot to one bratty kid sitting in the corner?

Proof that NetBeans should patent theirs

On: Will Flash Be Taken Off The Shelf?

Well, this is proof that netbeans should patent their customizable tool bars in their ide..so that then MS can be sued..

Is this how it goes?

Re:A jury of one's peers

On: MS Exec Testifies In Favor of OS Manipulation

You have your analogy backwards..the 12 jury peers are no the whitefolk in your senerio

Why Buying Bungie did not work!

On: How Microsoft Tried To Buy Nintendo

It seems that MS was pursuing many different strategies with xbox..

1. Home Entertainment
2. Home Electronics

but they forgot something that most game developing companies know..

The dev culture that produces a high quality game comes from a highly effiicent small management team that stays out of game devlopers way..

MS is not known for this..

Notice when Bungie was bought, MS gave the reason that they needed xbox develoeprs for the purchase, that once Bungie was neck deep in the mS management mire that Halo took some extra years to ship!

It Does Not Matter

On: Declawing Windows: Impossible?

Hello All,

One important point to point out..

It does not matter whether MS wins or loses this course cse in the final effort to win Developers to windows and the .NET platform..

The biggest Battle MS has to win here is the Public and PR stuff with developers..

Why?

Because the largest target market for the next 5 years in both mobile devices and enterprise systesm..not home PC desktops!

So it becomes very important for MS to win over developrs using this Court case..so that is why it fashions the objections the way it does..

However they forgot to factor in the high intelligence of independent devlopers..Whoops I guess Bill Gates was wrong when he said only the elite programmers work for MS!

MS has already lost the war in wining over developrs its just a matter of itme bfore they admit defat..Hoever I don't think they will do it in this court case..will be another 7 years though before this is untangled..

Re:ESR's Flaw

On: Eric Raymond: Why Open Source will Rule

This is extremely funny

MS supports standards?

Since when has MS actually supported any standard?

Okay the list of corrputed standards that MS miss-implemtned:

Kerbose
CSS
XML
DHTML
HTML
SGML

oh and dont forget changing the MS Office apis and file strucutre every year to thwart MS Office competitors...:)

Ah and on the subject of security..

Apache and any UNix has the btter security record by a full 200%

ESR Alert

On: Eric Raymond: Why Open Source will Rule

Man the battle stations..

Enemy acquired!

But seriously everyone comes up with a comment of for or agsint...when Eric speaks..

Now for the ultimate challenge name one Eric Statemnt that over time has proven false!

I dare you!

As of 2002 the statements Erci made in 1998-1999 al have proven true..

How many Gates tatements can you hold up to that type of review?

Come one people when reading engage the brain..

Re:Oh gggawwwd

On: Eric Raymond: Why Open Source will Rule

Gee thats why you commercial peopl buy Websphere from IBM to avoid using open source modules that run right, right?

Side Note: WebSphere runs right becasue its base is Apache! IBM's own code base before this sucked!

ah the Kevin Poulsen defense! a Game Winner!

On: Alleged eBay Hacker Goofs up and Goes to Jail

did not Kevin Poulsen also pull some lame act liek this in his cases as well?

Where is Kevin or 2600 when you need them?

On: Alleged eBay Hacker Goofs up and Goes to Jail

Sounds liek he woudl have been better off with 2600.org as his lawyer

Still same Old Joel if it sucks it rocks..

On: Spolsky Stands Firm on Linux on the Desktop

Still same old Jole debating a poitn and proving that his argument is groundless in the same paragraph...

It slike the Certification of winNT as secure by goveernment standards

winNT coudl not pass the test due to its weird unsecure DLL version behavior (ie all dlld versions have same name and file path)

So governemtn decided to change the test to allow winNT to pass..

Joel is good exampel of Why MS's current Security Initiative will FAIL!

hmm interesting

On: Red Hat To Support PowerPC, AltiVec

This is interesting simply because of the rack space 1u PowerPC units that are starting to appear..

Couple this with one of the PowerPC chip patent holder moving break neck speed towards Linux and RedHat(IBM) and you have a real good chance that you will see PowerPC servers from IBM released next year running Redhat linux..

The HURD Dead Pool Betting Pool

On: RMS Says Hurd Could Be Loosed in 2002

I bet $150 Hurd will not be released this year..

Place your bets here!

MPAA doesnt want copy protection

On: MPAA Wants Copy-Controlled PCs

MPAA doesnt want copy protection they want copy controll

ie they control your music and your life..well I not that god damn stupid and neither is the rest of the buying public..

Ask them how much the origninal copyright holder gets per work on cd per price..and they cannot answer..because they dont want the truth known..

I am sticking by the original terms of use of copyright..if they dont like that they can tsitkc where the sun dont shine!

Things that Make you go hmm

On: What's Next in CPU Land after Itanium?

I was just looking for more confirmation of this thought

"Why are web service platforms(software) so high cost from those companis that also sell big servers"

I think I may have foudn the answer in part of your post..

If this is correct there are going to be alot of small companies competing in several key new technology areas acrross the web in the next 2 years..

Should be very exciting!
