    here's the page that OpenRAW points to, to describe RAW:

  10. this article is full of so many holes... on History of Netscape and Mozilla · · Score: 1
    Netscape was about to go bankrupt, but AOL bought them, presumably to use Gecko for the next version of AOL. Microsoft worried that allowing Gecko to be adopted widely would make Windows a less valuable brand, and worked to keep AOL from switching, promising the online service provider free ad space on the Windows desktop in exchange for using the Internet Explorer rendering engine.
    ummm... what? beyond the random typos and other misinformation in this article - i thought it was generally accepted at the time that AOL bought Netscape for their "portal" (which had one of the highest hit-rates at that time, right?) - not the browser technology.

    and if i remember correctly, the aol/windows agreement predates aol buying netscape by years and years ...

  13. Re:Um, check out the screenshot of the comment on HP Deletes Negative Corporate Blogger Comments · · Score: 1

    you need to read the article that was posted to understand the comment. the screenshot does not show that the comment follows the format of the posting.

    why you got modded "insightful", when you obviously have not "rtfa", i'm not sure.

  14. Re:Open source is great and all... on Open Source: Facts and Figures · · Score: 1

    Well, i work in a medium/large sized business that distributes content over the internet. Selling the *content* generates the revenue that pays the bills. A large part of that bill is paying developers to write code for the "content delivery system". The "content delivery system" runs on linux, apache, java, and assorted other open source projects. When one of the assorted open source projects doesn't do something we want the way we want it, we write a patch and submit it. That's how the people i know make money off of writing open source code.

  15. Re:LinuxBIOS on Phoenix Sounds Death Knell for BIOS · · Score: 1

    Most likely, trying to install LinuxBIOS or OpenBIOS over the "trusted computing" component would present a violation of the DMCA.

  16. Pro's / Con's on SSH and OpenSSH Comparisons? · · Score: 1

    As a server/client running on a unix system, i think openssh is a much better alternative. It is easy to install, configure, and manage. We have been using openssh as a default for over a year now. As a windows client, openssh does not even have an option. you have to find and alternative, and none of them (IMHO) even compare - especially since i couldn't find one that had a decent sftp interface like the commercial version.
