  1. Re:"Managed" news in the US? The hell you say! on US Judge Strikes Down Bootleg Law · · Score: 1

    You mean that if Kerry votes for one version of a bill and votes against another version of that bill he is not really a flip flopper?
    He may or may not be, depending on the specific wording of those bills and and pork attached to them. You need details, though, and not just sound bites to determine that.

    I have to tell you that, because you keep acting like I am familiar with Murdoch, Limbaugh, O'reilly, Savage, Coulter or any of the other dozens of right wing zealots who populate the airwaves, I live in Asia and am not really familiar with the US political/media situation, so you needn't act like I am constantly sarcastic.

    My original point stands: Moore made an enormous amount of money off of a fairly low budget motion picture. That is a remarkable feat, and I will expect other highly politicized movies to try and ride his coat tails.

    OK... I thought that the topic was bootlegs and copyright laws, but anyway...


    My post's topic was that I had never heard of a documentary making
    so much money, and that Moore must've netted a serious amount of cash for highly politicized views.

    My addendum doesn't make any statements that he falsified anything, just that, maybe even more than usual for documentaries because BfC has shown liberties taken, one should be careful of: clips out of context; quotes edited for content; and editorial comments that don't reflect the material completely.

    Do you realize that that made-in-my-basement movie has grossed almost US$119M? My god! Extreme politicism sure sells tickets, huh? BTW, based on his record with Bowling for Columbine, I wouldn't trust everything I saw in 9/11...

    Ah, but I don't understand... Lexmark was one of the first printer companies to offer drivers (and now even a developer kit) for Linux. In fact, for many models, foomatic recommends the Lexmark drivers over their own, suggesting you foomaticize them to use CUPS.

  6. Re:Readable? on Microsoft To Share Office Source Code · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I feel like elaborating on this quote a little. OMFG -- It's a press move by MS, and Reuters ... Reuters ... prints a story which will probably be picked up verbatim by many newspapers mentioning that Linux already does this, and does it better.

    I'll say it again... OMFG!!! What is the world coming to?

  7. Readable? on Microsoft To Share Office Source Code · · Score: 5, Interesting
    If the reports that I've heard are true about the code, it's so confusing that the developers are afraid to change much lest they break something. All that backward compatability screws everything up. Could the govenments make much sense of it if the MS developers are having a hard time?

    Love this part:
    Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft keeps its source code closely guarded, and requires any governments or companies to sign agreements not to divulge the data that is used to create its software programs.

    The Linux software system, which is now a major competitor to Windows and other Microsoft products, and its source code are freely available to anyone under an open source license that guarantees that the data will always be shared.

    They are probably using the servers to forward applications to the client display, which is easy to do under X, though I know that there are many guys from Hawaii active on the http://k12ltsp.org/ mailing list, so they could just be thin clients, but the article makes it sound ontherwise.

    Either way, the applications run on the server, and is displayed on the client, so that's how the old computers work just as fast as new ones.

    An even more interesting questions is why our schools aren't adequately funded...

    I grew up on the windward side of Oahu, and I can say that many of the schools that were listed in the article as receiving assistance were private schools, so you should be asking why they don't charge more tuition...

    This was the real motivation behind the invention of BitTorrent, if I remember reading the writer's discussion of it on Slashdot a couple of years ago, when it was still vaporware. He wanted to save on bandwidth costs for FTP servers.

    If you don't want to waste a burn on that, do the following:
    1. Create a Grub boot disk: http://i30www.ira.uka.de/~ud3/mkgrubdisk/
    2. Download the installer .iso and put it in an EXT2, EXT3, or (V)FAT partition. Remember where it is.
    3. Extract the initrd and vmlinuz files from the CD iso (mount -t iso9660 netboot.iso /mnt/cd -o loop) to this partition (again... remember the location)
    4. Create a menu.lst on the Grub floopy with the following:
      title New Install
      kernel (hd0,0)/boot/newinstall/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram devfs=mount,dall ramdisk_size=17000
      initrd (hd0,0)/boot/newinstall/initrd.gz
      Or just type the relevant info into the grub prompt. Of course, edit these values to reflect your real file locations.
    5. Reboot
    6. Start the install... Woohoo!!!
