  1. Gentoo can be prelinked too... on Review of Yoper Linux v2.1 · · Score: 2, Informative
  2. Well, This is excellent news... on CD/DVD Manufacturers To Support Windows Media · · Score: 2, Insightful


    Once the DRM stuff is cracked (Microsoft encryption -- how hard can it be), we can play the DVD anywhere.

  3. Re:Slashdot type community moderated effort ? on Censorware Flaws Shown To COPA Commission · · Score: 1

    There have been some comments saying that it would still mean that others are forcing their views by rating in a certain way OR that some fundamentalist would get lots of people to vote a certain way...

    Well, Just like one has the option of reading Slashdot at -1 (who would ?) -- adults or children with supervision could choose to use the web at what ever setting. More over no single person can influence the rating of a certain site as it could be again like slashdot random moderation. The Internet is global too one person cannot rally the whole world, even if they did all they would do is rate a site not block it...

  4. Slashdot type community moderated effort ? on Censorware Flaws Shown To COPA Commission · · Score: 5

    Can we not implement a freenet type decentralized, community based voting mechanism for web sites. This way the majority of the net users would vote on how a site is classified rather than a corporation... C.

  5. Microsoft Passport is just the service you need... on A Matter Of Trust? · · Score: 1

    Check out http://www.passport.com With everyone having their info with Microsoft, you can buy anywhere you want... Is that not nice ?

  6. Why I don't use it as a primary platform... on Turning Away From Linux And Back To The Dark Side? · · Score: 1

    1. Because Linux is slow compared to WinNT in the graphics area. X is way too slow for me. I believe this is going to be addressed soon.

    2. I cannot tweak it and tune it like I want EASILY. Nothing like a Control Panel where you can fine-tune everything. Linux-Conf crashes way too many times and is not comprehensive...

    3. Usual reasons: Lack of applications, etc.

    I still use it once every month...

  7. India is not mentioned in the "watch-out" list ! on US & UK Issue Y2k Travel Warnings · · Score: 1

    There is no mention of India in the CNN article. But the Slashdot blurb mentions India...
    And the Y2K section on India @ http://travel.state.gov/india.html seems to be pretty tame...
    Maybe Hemos just wanted add a few coutries of his own...
