  1. No MS with GPL, all based on GPL, No MS on GPL's Strength · · Score: 1

    Ok...

    Microsofts new licence says you can't use it with GPLed software...

    If GPL is more simple than other copyrights, Maybe some other complicated licences are based on GPL.. and then we can't use that with MS..

    If we can say the GPL is more fundimental than other licences, (witch i think it is), we can't even use MS software with MS software.

    (I know this post isn't a solution, but it is very close to how I vew the situation)

  2. I need JavaScript though! on Qt For The Console · · Score: 1

    I don't think Links has Java Script. Maybe we could rip a portion out of mozilla and attach it to links?? btw, how is the performance of Qt for console?

  3. Bad Controls/ need better on Apple Wants Your Input · · Score: 1

    The ibook touchpad screwed up. If I can't move the cursor, I won't buy it. (most of the PC's have good trackpads now, HP now, compaq in the past and maybe now) I can use touchpads on the PCs, not on the ibook. I care most about hardware Cursor movement, then Keyboard, monitor resolution bandwidth effective use of screen space 2d graphics performance (quick menu responce) (list goes on, these were the top few) The last few are variables, depending on the programs I use. macs have crappy mice, and keyboards... how am I supposed to use em?

  4. large cache hard drive with its own UPS on UNIX Process Cryogenics? · · Score: 1

    Howdy, with ram prices being so low... why don't we have 128+MiB cache harddrives with thier own batteries and a bit of a processor on it that will assure the data is writen even when the rest of the computer is turned off.

  5. Take bids to host directory services... not sell on Australia's Generic Net Names To Be Put Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    they should take bids for contracts to provide a directory service for the community.

    The government should ask for bids... maybe they could require a non favoring listing feature, and allow for a limited number of paid advertizing on it...

    The government could pay, or be paid for this. the listing service could charge a fixed rate for service... (or proportional to the size of the business)

    etc..

    I don't think they should auction some of those things off...

  6. faqomatic.sourceforge.net on Free & Non-Free Documentation · · Score: 1

    Faq-O-Matic is an attempt to deal with some of these problems. Look at the idea... not the ugly colors in the frames. btw 63.96.88.170/halt/ is my attempt at an open source document.

  7. Hardware hack on Automated Ripping with CD Jukeboxes? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wouldn't it be possible to take the guts out of a nice 50x cd rom.. and replace the drive in the disk changer? Yeah it could get ugly with cut up hardware.. but it should be possible.

    My guess is that the disk changer has a lame latch to hold the cd in place.. that works fine for 1 or 2x.. but not for real fast... you might be able to get by that by installing a bigger spring or something.
