  1. Re:Oh deary me... on SBC's VoIP End Run · · Score: 1

    They have hundreds of peering agreements. And you are right, if they started interfering will the priority of VoIP traffic they would be creating a ton of problems. It just won't happen.

    Like most left brained people I like thigs to be to thge point. I am willing to bet there is someone that read the 400 page book that can pretty much cover it in ~4 sentences. Any takers?

  7. Translation for the stupid: on Exploitation of Open Source VoIP · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the heads up. Instead of spending money on lawyers to make us both broke, we are negotiating with Sysmaster to get them to buy a commercial license.

  8. Re:Motive on Exploitation of Open Source VoIP · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Exactly, and where is the rule that says SysMaster must state on the front page thy use Asterisk PBX? Did you buy a product from SysMaster and have them refuse to distribute modified Asterisk source to you? If no then they didn't violate shit.

  9. Re:Battles on The Webmail Wars · · Score: 1

    I have 2 gmail accounts, 1 yahoo account, and 1 hotmail account, and still find myself using Yahoo mostly for its notepad feature. Yahoo's UI is pretty strong also.

    Actually once you get in the door it is more about what you can do and less about what is on your resume.

  14. Re:Don't worry on IBM Retakes Fastest Supercomputer Title · · Score: 5, Funny

    If people want your key so bad they will build a supercomputer this big to crack it, you have plenty other things to worry about.

    Yes but by the time the auction ends and they ship it, you would get it maybe 1 day early.

  16. Re:Bells etc. on China's Superior Technologies · · Score: 1

    I would be one of those "on your left" a$$hole cyclists. I admit have scared the shit out of more than a few people. They jump when I yell "on your left", maybe 70% of the time they jump to the right, the other 30% of the time I go right instead.

  17. Re:Mirror here on The Eye: Evolution versus Creationism · · Score: 1

    I remember once in 2nd grade I told a teacher that used to like me I am Atheist, she almost smacked me for it. She never again liked me for the rest of the year. I remember creationalists calling me ignorant and short sighted for believing in evolution. A great deal of progress has been made since then. I would like to give a big Thank You to the scientific community reading this.

  18. Because their market share is shrinking... on Why Apple Should Port Games · · Score: 1

    And nobody else will port the games for them. I guess market share DOES mean something.

  19. Re:I always make stupid mistakes but... on China Closes 1,600 "Internet Bars" · · Score: 1

    They let kids play games there with adult ratings. They got shut down like a bar would be for serving minors. The games were probably given adult ratings or a reason. If you don't think the rating system is fair run a story on that, but don't blame China for enforcing them.

    So Firefox is affected and IE SP2 is not. This story is just more MS bashing FUD.

    Well the amound of requested code so far is in the range of 2 billion and SCO still needs more code to look through? How is this not fishing?

  23. Re:So... on Windows vs. Linux Security, Once More · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Ask some people that admin a mixed environment. Our Linux boxes get owned just the same as our Windows boxes do. When comparing older version of windows there is no doubt Linux owns windows but 2003 server it a pretty big improvement in security over NT 4.0 or 02. SP2 (with firewall) is also a huge improvement, just too bad it took MS this long to get it.

  24. Re:Complex people ? on Government Linux Gaming Supercomputer · · Score: 4, Informative

    The idea is not that new, the ARMY has some warehouses full of tank sims plugged into a central servers (usually IRIX/SGI). It is pretty cool to place several companies in there with some geeks throwing computer tanks/rpg's/crunchies etc. at you. One of the few things I did in the ARMY that was actually in the brochure :)

    Well there is Object Pascal which Delphi is based on. Delphi is losing popularity but is a very good (and underrated) language. The first GUI applications I made were in Borland Delphi.
