  1. Re:Prior art? on Nintendo Loses Controller Patent Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    based on Microsoft not contesting it. Based on Sony not contesting it. Based on Nintendo contesting it and losing. That seems like a pretty good case.

  2. Re:Aren't they harmonizing with ODF? on UOF Vies to Be a Third Contender in ODF–OOXML Battle · · Score: 4, Funny

    probably a lot like how they're harmonizing with Tibet and Taiwan.

  3. Re:New Perimeter Device? on $250 Freescale-Based "Green" "Cloud" Computer · · Score: 1

    I think he's referring to the cherrypal's vga out. (I own an nslu2 and am interested in non-x86 computers).

  4. Re:less than $99 on $250 Freescale-Based "Green" "Cloud" Computer · · Score: 1

    The Efika doesn't have wifi or VGA and has only half the ram.

  5. Re:iTunes under Linux? on $250 Freescale-Based "Green" "Cloud" Computer · · Score: 1
    Is the gOS PPC? Does the gOS run on 2 watts? Is the gOS the size of a router? There's the value.

    More memory than efika, wireless, not lame.

    He's smoking pole. If you want some, just go to the men's room and tap your foot 3 times.

    If the bus isn't full and you otherwise wouldn't have paid, then what's the problem?

  8. Re:Safari not trailing Firefox on Firefox's Effect On Other Browsers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Firefox will eventually use tamarin, which should be on par with Squirelfish.

  9. Re:wow; Big pair on him. on Firefox's Effect On Other Browsers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What amazes me, is that Apple has not pushed OO to be on there. They would be smart to add a few coders to the project just to ensure that it can compete against Office on their platform.

    Apple has Pages, Keynote, and Numbers (I pay for them rather than use OO.). Oh, and Microsoft Office. Apple's interest in open source is more of the system/library part, not the front end user experience.

  10. PHB gets it on IT Jobs To Drop In 2009 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Grid computing, Open Source and Cloud computing] require a technical understanding to get to their importance. I don't think C-level executives and managers have that understanding.

    In my country, we have a saying: "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" In this case, the milk is open source software and the cow is the developer.

  11. Re:Noise to Signal Ratio on Web 2.0 Lessons For Corporate Dev Teams · · Score: 1

    You forgot the lame jokes, the followups by people explaining it was a joke, the followups by people who didn't realize it was a joke and try to repeat it, the complaints about the editors, the complaints about the moderators, the dupe/oldnews posts, and the people who didn't read the article and comment on something unrelated.

    hiring rackspace is relying on third party technology.

  15. Re:Oh Bullshit... on IPhone 3G Jailbreak Released, Paves Way For Open Source Apps · · Score: 1

    That too. If the FSF cared about the user having access to the source code, they should prefer that over a precompiled binary.

  16. Re:The SDK is not incompatible with the GPL on IPhone 3G Jailbreak Released, Paves Way For Open Source Apps · · Score: 1

    And...? GPL code can link to non-GPL libraries.

  17. The SDK is not incompatible with the GPL on IPhone 3G Jailbreak Released, Paves Way For Open Source Apps · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The SDK is XCode and GCC. Neither one cares which license you use. Apple's iPhone app store requires signing, which conflicts withe the GPLv3, but it doesn't prevent using the GPLv2 or other open source licenses and it doesn't prevent you from distributing the code (or binaries).

  18. Re:Move to CVS on Guide For Small Team Programming? · · Score: 1

    How about the backing storage? If shit happens, I'd rather try to recover from text files than binary chunks
