  1. Re:It gets weirder on LaserMonks Offer Prayer, Printer Cartridges · · Score: 1

    Evidently not. How do you pronounce it?

    Like 'shemale' without pronouncing the "l" in the end.

  2. Re:Translation of page 2 of the study on GPL May Not Work In German Legal System · · Score: 1

    From their web site:

    Through its numerous activities, events and cooperations VSI has established a reputation for successfully lobbying the specific needs and positions of the software industry.

    I think that should read: "closed source software industry".
    Members include SUN and Microsoft.

  3. Re:Just for kicks... on Microsoft Tech Specs Prohibit GPL Implementations · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I got this when I tried to vote:

    "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e21'

    Transaction (Process ID 111) was deadlocked on {lock} resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.

    /library/shared/common/inc/SqlData. asp, line 434"

    What am I doing wrong? Help me!

  4. Re:I don't need it, but I sure am glad to see it. on Codeweavers Releases Crossover Office · · Score: 1

    He???
    You still have to pay for MS Office.

    But you can save the money for MS Windows.

  5. Re:Incompetant Admins on ORBZ Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    That's once again one of thess comments which compares two completely different types of risks:

    A meltdown of a nuclear plant might as well do some harm to people who happen to live closer than 1000 km to the plant.

    A mail server does not kill anybody, even if it's an open relay.

    The same comparison is often drawn when discussing the liability of s/w companies for security flaws in their products: it's just not the same thing as for a car tyre producer etc.

    Don't compare safety with security.

    Anyway, I fully agree that anybody who connects any kind of server to the internet should have a basic idea of security and act accordingly. (e.g. by paying somebody to make the boxes secure)

  6. Re:Now if they'd add a phone... on Sony Announces Excellent New Handhelds · · Score: 1

    As Sony and Ericsson have joined forces in regards to mobile phones , this would be obvious.

  7. Re:So.... on 2.4, The Kernel of Pain · · Score: 1

    USB is available also in the 2.2 Kernel (> 2.2.16)

    I use my Epson USB scanner with 2.2.19 without problems so far.
