Poor Sun employees...

I really wouldn't want to be a Sun employee right now. For us none-Sun employee, it will be interesting to see, what Oracle will be using a Virtual machine technology.

No more Fedora art, please!! They are ugly!

On: Red Hat Returns To the Linux Desktop

How I welcome this. I think Fedora have the best software of any distribution, but they also have the worst art of them all. Just compare with SLES or Ubuntu. They are beautiful out-of-the-box.

I'm I the only one that get the creeps when a 1 is followed after the . in the version?

Cake is a commercial for IE, no mention of Firefox

On: A Few Firefox 3 Followups

Please understand why MS sends the cakes!

The cakes doesn't mention Firefox or Mozilla in any way, but very clearly IE. Hence, MS sends the cakes not to congratulate Mozilla, but to get Mozilla to advertise for IE.

Very clever move by MS!

I hope you are right! I just fear that GNU would flame any distribution that removes gjc or doesn't make it the default :(

I hope Fedora, Ubuntu, Suse, and Gentoo will come with this library!

Damages keyboards that uses oil for smooth movemen

On: Are Keyboards Dishwasher Safe?

If your keyboard uses oil between the keys, you should NOT wash it!

I tried that on my beloved none Windows key keyboard, and afterwards all the keys were hard to press down because the oil was missing =(

It's PR. Microsoft does NOT support ODF

On: Microsoft Votes to Add ODF to ANSI Standards List

It's PR. Microsoft does NOT support ODF!

From TFA Microsoft supports choice. Notice "choice" meaning that Microsoft want people to say that they want choice; i.g. OOXML too becomes a standard.

In other words; Microsoft sees taht they are very likely not to get OOXML an ISO standard, so by saying they want ODF *AND* OOXML they might still be able to squizze OOXML into ISO =(

Stop piracy. Give the movie on DVD at the cimema

On: AACS Revision Cracked A Week Before Release

I bet more people would go to the cinema, if you got a copy of the movie together with your ticket. Not to mention, that it would work both ways. Some would just by the ticket to get the movie. As I see it, more ticket sales, and more DVD/ticket sales.

09F9:1102:9D74:E35B:D841:56C5:6356:88C0 is an IPv6

On: AACS Vows to Fight Bloggers

Dear helpdesk,
I am trying to ping my server at
09F9:1102:9D74:E35B:D841:56C5:6356:88C0. However,
it seems like the address is in the unallocated space.
Perhaps there's a typo somewhere?

AACS LA:
That's the Processing key. You are not allowed to publish it.

Hacker:
No sir. That's a IPv6 address. Surely you won't deny me to have links on my website? =)

Why tar.gz and not tar.bz2 ?

On: Mozilla Releases Thunderbird 2.0.0

I don't get it. Why doesn't Mozilla use tar.bz2 for the final releases like they do for the nightly builds? tar.bz2 files are much smaller, and it is not harder to type 'j' instead of 'z'. I don't get it.

Its wide open. Has a backdoor

On: Seagate Ships World's Most Secure Hard Drive

You can be 100% sure that the encryption has a backdoor that NSA and the US Government has a key to!

You don't mean to tell me, that in a time with terrorism and where the Government wants to listen in voIP and email, that Seagate is allowed to make a secure harddrive, that protects the consumer/possible terrorists data?

No, these disks is wide open to NSA, just like Windows have always been.

DRM and DRM-free music in a secure way. It's easy!

On: EMI — Ditching DRM is Going To Cost You

About the mixure of DRM and DRM-free music, it could be done without exploiting FairPlay or making any changes to iTunes.

All songs should continue to be DRM, if a song is sold to be DRM-free, it is downloaded and DRM'ed like any DRM song, but the user key for this song should be stored seperatly in iTunes.

The song could continue to be DRM'ed as long as the user wants it to be, and if the user wants the song to be DRM-free just click on the "export as DRM-free" or "Remove DRM" button in iTunes.

No changes are needed to be med to iTMS to sell DRM-free music.
