  1. Re:I've been waiting for this... on A Ready-Made MythTV Set-Top Box in Australia · · Score: 5, Informative

    Company representatives and developers are in contact with the MythTV developers and participate in the MythTV mailinglists.

    The source is in the ISO. Some people identified some minor issues of non-compliance but the company already made clear that they wanted to comply fully and also want to contribute some things to the project.

    If all these GPL fanatics would do some research before crying out loud...

  2. Re:Scotty pages still up on University of Twente NOC Fire Arson · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually those servers are located in the Computer Science building, which means that they would also be gone if the arrested man succeded on Friday when he also tried to set the Computer Science buildin in fire! Just the fact that somebody (my co-worker) saw this man close to a small fire in the stairway of the Computer science building on Friday, caused that man to be arrested and the Computer Science building including its servers not to burn down to ashes too.

    In addition to my text above:
    - as long as the work gets done and the projects are finished in time you may take several weeks off at once or spread it throughout the year. No set rules.

    To give an example how things can differ even in the same country I'll reply about my conditions at present at the Dutch multinational I just started to work:
    - 39 days off a year (including 5 obligatory days, e.g. between x-mas and new year)
    - obligatory present between 10.00 and 16.00
    - no overtime (e.g. working on Saturday because of an international meeting, or working late)
    - 5 unused days may be carried to the next year
    - unused days may be paid
    - unused days may be invested in the pension
    - unused days may be put into other things like computers

    That's not a bad system, because it rewards most of the employees who are on average working more than 40 hours a week and at least have the ability to take days off now and then.

  5. Re:Other news on Is Domain Speculation Bust? · · Score: 1
    Netcraft's methodology is to count by host name, not by sever. Therefore, a squatter who has 100 domain names pointed at a single "Buy This Domain" page counts a 100 times in the survey.
    And the effects of this are significant... www.netcraft.com shows that it looks at 27,585,726 domains. Compare this numer with the 800000+ domains held by domaincollection.com (world record holder cybersquatting) which is nearly 3% of all domains. Domains which point to a single page hosted on a Linux box with Apache.
