  2. Information and programs does not leak! on IE7 Leaked · · Score: 3, Funny

    I am an engineer for a very large mobile company, and take it from me. Programs and information does NOT leak. Everybody knows what each workers knows, and if anything should leak, the source is know before the day is over. If such case should happen, the person will get fired, and every competitor will know about this person. Eventhought a competitor could profit greatly from the leak caused by this person, even they would NEVER hire this person. Because, they know they can't trust him. So telling it had leaked is plain PR to make it more interesting. Leaks does NOT happen.

    Every media attacts Bit Torrent for being the reason for the distribution og movies, music etc., and claming that if it wasn't for Bit Torrent these things wouldn't be copied. Why not blame xvid, mpeg4, mp3, wmv, ogg??

  22. Re:How? You guys are all wrong on John Dvorak Hypes Skype · · Score: 1

    Many (if not all) talk about the features that made Skype famous.

    It is not about features, but about brand recognition. It was introduced as the product of the same guy who made Kazaa, and not by what it really was.

    Everyone knows the name Kazaa, and have interest in the files you can get via Kazaa. So a program made by the same guy, MOST be interesting, people think.

    Skype could have been anything, it doesn't matter.

    The reason for the sucess of Skype is Kazaa.

  23. Ask IBM on OpenOffice vs. MS Office for Education? · · Score: 1

    Try calling IBM and explain the situation, so they don't mistake you for a potential buyer of their products.

    They might already now have some (a lot?) experence in moving from Microsoft to Open Source.

    In a way it would be of their interest aswell, that more learn to use Open Source programs, and by that kill some of the myths.

    It is worth a try.

  24. Thunderbird is blue! on IBM to Hire Firefox Developers · · Score: 1

    Thunderbirs is blue! The problem is easy solved, as they just make a browser extension to Thunderbird.

    Actually they say that in the article, that they are looking for extensions writers.

    I think I have it all figured out!

  25. Re:Desparate times... on XGI, VIA Release Open Source Drivers · · Score: 1

    This is not due to software patents, but copyright. There is important to see the difference.

    Copyright is a good thing, but software patents are not!

    If it wasn't so copyright Microsoft could steal your code, and use it.
