    Someone needs to ask this question... WHY?... and I repeat: WHY ON EARTH?!?

  3. Legal copies! on Movie Studios Unveil New Anti-Piracy Lab · · Score: 1

    I don't care what they do or what they invent, as long as I can make digital copies of the DVDs (or HD-DVDs or whatever they are called in the future) I legaly buy. It's legal to do so where I live and hence I should be able to do it.

    I don't own any ilegal movies, and I don't want to be punished for what others might do!

  6. Re:Going to heck in a hand basket. on In The Works: Windows For Supercomputers · · Score: 1

    Microsoft copies all the good ideas.

    You make it sound like it's something bad. Microsoft would be stupid not to copy "all the good ideas" (IP is not an issue here). Likewise, open source projects has also always copied all the good ideas, like the interface from Apple, the winamp player...
    It's is stupid to reinvent the kitchen skink over and over.

  8. Re:Programming on Novell Desktop To Standardize On Qt [updated] · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Hey, if programming were easy, people would do it for free.

    I don't see why this is funny. It is clear that if programming were easy then people would do it for free (like everything else that is easy). On the other hand it dosen't mean that because people program for free, that programming is easy (it's not!). That's why we should all celebrate all those programmers that program for free and share their work with the rest of the world!.

  9. Mistake?!? on The Wrong Stuff · · Score: 3, Funny

    He adds: '...I have taken the President's space initiative seriously. That may be a mistake.'

  11. Re:10 revision control system comparison on Subversion 1.0 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    This comparison is wrong is several places. For one it states that Arch does not "support copying files or directories to a different location at the repository level, while retaining the history" Arch does that very well.

  12. Blame it on SCO on Microsoft Code at Fault for Half of all Windows Crashes · · Score: 1

    Maybe Microsoft will sue SCO for breaking there products...
