  1. "As Such" on European MP Responds on Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Software can be patented, but not "Software as such."

    I've read this expression in many pro-software patent texts, and after having seen it discussed on various mailing lists, it appears that it doesn't mean shit.

  2. Re:Life of Brian on Matrix Gets Egyptian Ban For Explicit Religion · · Score: 1

    Yes it does conflict more. Besides, what I would call historical research, such as mythist theory of the non existence of "jesus", would put someone in jail.

  3. Bullshit on Executing a Mass Departmental Exodus in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    No offence meant, but you really speak like the average insecure tech robot. The world is NOT a small place.

  4. Re:I think it's a good thing on E.U. Agrees To Launch Galileo Satellite Location System · · Score: 1

    On top of that, the Spanish people were more opposed to the war than the French by about 5 point (89% against in France vs 94% in Spain).

    It looked like Aznar was the only person in Spain supporting this war.

  5. Re:$15 trill economy dosent have a real welfare sy on Non-Competes Might Mean Loss Of Benefits · · Score: 1

    France and Germany have roughly 10% unemployment. USA have about 6%. The latter sounds better, doesn't it? Now, how about you add to that unemployment stats:

    - People in jail
    - People working to put and keep people in jail
    - People doing useless and actually damaging work such as unsollicited telemarketing, frivolous lawsuits, etc, that don't exist in decent countries. .... and I'm pretty sure the gap gets down to not much.

  6. Re:your sig on Creating Car Free Cities · · Score: 1

    You know what, one of my best friend's father is a biology researcher, he has worked with Pr. Montagnier on the HIV virus, he has taught in many high profile universities, published in the best scientific papers. He doesn't agree with you. So tell me, who am I supposed to trust more, that kind of respected person, or some random Internet conspiracy kook? You're a fool.

  7. Re:your sig on Creating Car Free Cities · · Score: 1

    I challenge your claim that this is not a fraud. Who isolated the HIV virus?


    Pr. Montagnier, of Institut Pasteur, a not-for-profit organization. What's your point?

  8. Re:...as well as religous proclamations on New US $20 bills Released, Colors & Layout Change · · Score: 1

    Are you invoking the 1st Amedment? T'was good while it lasted, wasn't it?

  9. 2Mbps/512kbps on America's Broadband Dream Is Alive-- In Korea · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I get 2Mbps/512kbps for 29.90 a month with Free in Paris. No sign-up fee, modem provided at no cost.

    Interestingly, those guys, who have run on free software for year (hence the name, Free), have developed their own set-top box, AKA Freebox, which is more than just an ADSL modem: it's got 100baseTX, USB1.1, 2x phone RJ-11, one SCART and has an IR remote control.

    They plan on providing digital TV and phone service through ADSL soon. Service is unrestricted, unmetered, unfiltered, static IP through DHCP, though still a bit rough around the edge at times.

  10. Re:revokethepresident.com on U.S. Says Canada Cares Too Much About Liberties · · Score: 1

    I remember hearing about tons of Vx, Mustard, Sarin ... surely, considernig how dangerous those are, you can't just hide them under the carpet?

  11. revokethepresident.com on U.S. Says Canada Cares Too Much About Liberties · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It can't be as much fiction as that war on Iraq (where are the WMDs again?) or the last US presidential election.

  12. Trainspotting on Assorted Video Game Movies in Development · · Score: 1

    Inspired by PacMan (people listening to electronic music gobbling strange pills in dark places).

  13. mplayer on New Terminator 3 Trailer Released · · Score: 1, Informative

    MPlayer plays it very well. Just go to the page with the movie, press Ctrl-I to get the list of media links in the page, copy and paste it:

  14. Re:Uneasy? on DARPA Grant Cancelled for OpenBSD and U-Penn? · · Score: 1

    Why give it back? That's $2 millions less to buy depleted uranium.

  15. HoaxNews.com on Rebuilding Iraq's Internet · · Score: 1

    Freedom of information? You mean, freedom to watch FoxNews.com? How is it better than the Ba'ath Ministry of information, I'm still wondering ...

  16. All of them on CDMA vs. GSM in Post-war Iraq · · Score: 1

    My phone is old and cheap and works on all GSM networks (900-1800-1900). Try again.

    Oh and ALL phones currently on sale in Europe work on both 900 Mhz and 1800 Mhz. This is only a problem if you go to the US, but who would want to go there, with all that terror they get?

  17. Re:that's pretty shortsighted on Slashback: Privacy, Spectrum, Location · · Score: 1

    Some people are that binary: "you're either with us or against us."

    That kind of people is rather harmless when they get drunk, but as soon as they stop they start harassing random people.

  18. Trusting the GW Bush administration on Slashback: Privacy, Spectrum, Location · · Score: 1

    You know what, trusting the Bush administration after the hilarious episodes of:

    - Fake uranium orders from Niger
    - Student's thesis from 12 years ago presented as convincing evidence
    - Meaningless wiretappings presented as evidence ... conjures up images of the Goatse guy asking for more, much more up the ass.

  20. Re:Probably won't work. on Brain Prosthesis Ready For Testing · · Score: 1

    Genetic programming works for something at least somewhat linear; would definitely not work for random drawing lottery.

  21. Re:User-Mode Linux? on Plex86 Lives, As Lightweight VM Technology · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The problem with User-Mode Linux, as I understand it, is that the virtual machine is not that much isolated. It doesn't guarantee as much as it seems in terms of access control, security etc.

    This virtualisation technique, however, could probably be much safer.

  22. Re:This is exactly the kind of thing x86 is good a on Pixar Eclipses Sun with Linux/Intel · · Score: 1

    Well if you don't need a journalling file system, real SMP support nor decent threading for something to be "professional", then I guess *BSD might be "professional", indeed.

  23. Re:DON'T REALLY DO THIS on MonsterHut Jammed for Spam · · Score: 1, Funny

    I completely agree with you, doing this could get a spammer and his family killed.

    I have a question though, why do you seem to imply that this a bad thing?

  24. Re:You can appeal an ACQUITTAL in Norway? on "DVD-Jon" Faces Retrial · · Score: 1

    I don't know about Norway specifically, but Turkey has chosen to be under the ECJ jurisdiction by signing some treaty, while it's not currently part of the EU.

  25. Re:You just know it's going to happen... on Medical Briefcase For In-Flight Patient Evaluation · · Score: 2

    This doesn't make much sense; if the device allows some form of rapid diagnostic, it IS going to be safer than diverting the plane in most cases.
