  1. MacOS X Version on Fast, Open Alternative to Java · · Score: 1
    On the site, I saw specific references to Objective C and also Open GL.

    Does this imply a MOSX version will be forthcoming? Am I reading into this? (Wishfully?)

    Anyone know? Or better yet point me to more FM? I'm glad to read - align my eyeballs as needed! ;-)

  2. C'mon on Net Taps Without Warrants? · · Score: 1
    You need to be flexible.

    Your freedom means NOTHING if you are not alive to exercise it and/or your country no longer exists.

    Freedom is neither free, nor dumb.

  3. Free Software on New York Red Cross Needs Tech Help · · Score: 1

    Technically, if the software is free, then the donations would all add up to $0! ;-)

  4. Re:The Linksys is nice on Choosing a Router/Firewall for the Home LAN · · Score: 1

    Another nice feature is the ability to spoof your computer's NIC's MAC address, so you don't have to monkey with tech support for the services that require that for aquisition of an IP address. It takes your MAC, gets your IP, and you NAT all your good stuff behind it.

  5. Re:There is a need for Office et al on Linux Development Call To Arms · · Score: 2, Insightful
    > Linux is superior to to Windows in every angle except the interface

    This is the kind of statement that needs to be explained to the business types who make purchases. But...

    The dollar cost argument is easy to make; the free speech argument often is harder for them to get. And the notion of GPL usually scare the vinegar out of them.

    But something like a solid MS-like (yes, it DOES have to be) Office suite, coupled with the free beer argument is something they can comprehend.

  6. Submarine patents?!?! on FTC Investigates Submarine Patents · · Score: 1

    Well, there goes Junkyard Wars...
