  1. Non Emergency Tipsters on NYC Opens 911 Hotline To Pictures, Video · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Great. So now you never know who is watching you, so you are afraid of everyone.

    Sounds like early nazi germany to me.

  2. Re:Build upon debian? on HP May Be Developing Its Own Version of Linux · · Score: 1

    The rest of their business is what holds them up. For them linux is a tool not an 'end game' for them.

  3. Re:Build upon debian? on HP May Be Developing Its Own Version of Linux · · Score: 1

    But its the safest way

  4. Re:Build upon debian? on HP May Be Developing Its Own Version of Linux · · Score: 1

    And i wasn't slamming the GPL, it has its place. But in a corporation that wants to make lots of $, it isn't there.

  5. Re:Applications are the key. on HP May Be Developing Its Own Version of Linux · · Score: 1

    I disagree. At this phase usability and guaranteed support is the key.

  6. Re:Build upon debian? on HP May Be Developing Its Own Version of Linux · · Score: 1

    The smartest thing to do would be build upon FreeBSD, then they wont have that pesky GPL getting in the way of their work.

  7. Re:Why is that even possible? on Greek Hackers Target CERN's LHC · · Score: 1

    Get a bunch of theoretical physicists together and security is the last thing on their minds.

  8. Re:Perfect for scaring people on Locate Any WiFi Router By Its MAC Address · · Score: 1

    And if im just idling standing by look at the birds ( be it in the park or online ) no one has a right to know.

    Removing anonymity online ( well what is left of it anyway ) tosses that out the window.

  9. Enterprise management tools on Sun Bare Metal Hypervisors Now GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    At this point in the game, virtualizing isn't a big deal. Its the suite of management tools aimed at the enterprise which separates the amateurs from the big boys.

    Lets hope sun can step up to the plate and compete, and still stay in the OSS world in the process.

  10. Re:Perfect for scaring people on Locate Any WiFi Router By Its MAC Address · · Score: 1

    Except standing in public no one knows who you are.

    Id rather stay anonymous on line as well, thank you very much.

  11. Re:So, how does one go about finding a canadian jo on Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Copyright Cops · · Score: 1

    Wont be any better up there.

  12. Re:What's needed is to kill the RIAA quickly on Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Copyright Cops · · Score: 1

    Nice idea, but they will just demand a kickback on taxes paid for 'multimedia' devices and media, like they do up north.

    They wont even have to sell music and will still rake in millions.

  13. Virtual bystanders on Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Copyright Cops · · Score: 1

    Which is pretty much everyone. Good move. Make us all presumed criminals.

    Once this signed into law, when does the random stopping of people with earphones on the street demanding proof of purchase for contents of their ipods and searching laptops start?

    Im so glad we have taken care of all the real problems in the world and can waste my tax dollars protecting an outdated cartel from themselves.

  14. Re:Still not a law. on Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Copyright Cops · · Score: 1

    Yet.

  15. Re:Why do people go on about how great Mac OSX is? on Ubuntu To Pay for Upgrades To the Free Software User Experience · · Score: 1

    Never had a crash here in several years of use.. On similar hardware its as snappy as KDE.

    Ever hear of VLC? Plays every media file ive ever tossed at it, and its not 'expensive shareware'.

    Care to try again?

  16. Re:Only 20%?? on One In Five Employers Scan Applicants' Web Lives · · Score: 1

    For one reason, how will the interviewer know its me?

    It's not like i plaster my posting handle on the resume,

  17. VMware on San Fran Hunts For Mystery Device On City Network · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Someone loaded vmware server on their desktop that has an extra network card.

  18. Re:Managed or Unmanaged on San Fran Hunts For Mystery Device On City Network · · Score: 1

    Depends on the switch. Some really old ones cant do that, and i bet that is what they got.

    But, knowing the IP the know what switch, and what building/floor/etc..

  19. Dont know where it is?? on San Fran Hunts For Mystery Device On City Network · · Score: 1

    Don't they have a network map? If its got an IP, and they know it ( which is implied here ) they can narrow it down to a physical location and work from there floor by floor, room by room.

  20. Re:Freenet on Online Storage With a Twist · · Score: 3, Informative

    Only that hardly used data can disappear off the network. I assume in the case of this other offering, it never goes away.

  21. Donated Bandwidth on Online Storage With a Twist · · Score: 1

    Nice idea, but no thanks now that my use is capped thanks to comcast.

  22. Re:Office? on The Great Office War · · Score: 1

    You are kidding right? A real office? Heh.

  23. Shut down the coal mine! on Spectacular Fossil Forests Found In US Coalmine · · Score: 1

    As we all know protecting fossils is more important then energy.

  24. Re:What does her wealth have to do with it? on J. K. Rowling Wins $6,750 In Infringement Case · · Score: 1

    Her wealth insured she could afford an attorney and get a 'fair' trial, and be sure her rights were preserved.

    If she was poor, she would just be out of luck and would have to smile as she got screwed dry.

    Money is a factor in EVERYTHING in the world, one way or another.

  25. Fair Use on J. K. Rowling Wins $6,750 In Infringement Case · · Score: 1

    Just went out the window apparently.
