  5. Humor!!! on What's A 'Scroll Lock' And Why Is It On My Keyboard? · · Score: -1, Redundant
    The humor in the article is uh....actually rather funny....for example:
    C:\Una\Lesbian Porn>DIR

    . . . then the 22,000 files in that directory scroll past so fast I can't see their names. However, if I apply the pipe function at the command prompt like this:

    C:\Una\Lesbian Porn>DIR | more

    Umm... now THAT is a sense of humor...and rather candid....but at least it gets the point across =)
  6. Cooperation on Yahoo Restored in Some IM Clients · · Score: 4, Interesting

    For those of you who don't RTFA.....Cerulean studios actually *sent* the GAIM folk the protocol. This is a good example of how Yahoo is actually fostering a good relationship between "competing" clients. [Competing in the sense that they are both alternative...] Kind of nice to see that kind of collaboration....

  7. Re:Why not use the LC system? on Hotel Being Sued for Using the Dewey Decimal System · · Score: 1

    thats because with sixteen fricking million volumes, i'd be in the stacks for FIVE hours instead of FOUR because i misread 110.1 as 101.1 or something equally perverse. Its bad enough as it is to have to walk to MUDD and then be told "Oops, those books have been moved to kline/SML/CCL/what have you" what would they do, organize the floors of sterling by the hundreds? I admit, the current setup in CCL is a bit archaic [all the weenie bins are in the R and S sections...] but still.....LOC is better than dewey or anything else.

  8. Re:Stop worshipping Sun already on Java Desktop System Rivals XP, OSX in Usability · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    Hey! From the article you link:

    This document details the difficulties that keep our Solaris Java implementation from being practical for the development of common software applications. It represents a consensus of several senior engineers within Sun Microsystems. We believe that our Java implementation is inappropriate for a large number of categories of software application. We do not believe these flaws are inherent in the Java platform but that they relate to difficulties in our Solaris implementation.

  12. Re:Oh, I don't know... on Apple Responds To iTunes "First Sale" Question · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Oh Kjella....I love reading your posts...but for once I have to disagree. The doctrine of first sale assumes that the company, once having sold you said item, no longer has any control whatsoever, and so therefore no action is taken on the company's part. Since the transfer costs Apple money....it is not within the spirit of the doctrine of first sale. CAVEAT: Transferring the ACCOUNT [i.e. giving someone else your password and selling them the account with all its songs] should be fully legal by the doctrine of first sale -- since it requires NO intervention from apple.

    In your lock case, what if the company able to modify the lock was NOT the company that sold you the product? Would you expect them to do it for free?

    Because apple did not reject the legality issue outright, citing either .Mac agreements or iTMS agreements, It looks like they have ratified [defacto] the right to resell these songs. For a 99 cent track, the verification and effort required are simply impractical.

    [If you wanted to transfer say.....500 songs, There should be some nominal fee to be able to do that....]

    And as always, I heart Kjella.
