  1. Re:Even funnier... on CherryOS Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    Oh, I had that same comment but missed your response. I'm sorta relieved now, thanks for pointing that out, about the Gnu head logo.

  2. GNU Open source on CherryOS Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    I realize it's pretty late by slashdot standards to be commenting now, but, but, a GNU on top, and the large Open Source words at the bottom just makes me cringe ! I had to take this small snapshot of the cherryos website.

  3. Re:Questions on Objectively Comparing Competing Search Engines? · · Score: 1

    It sure sounds like a chat bot, although with a stick up its ass.

  4. Re:Wh.ats u.p wi.th th.e na.me.s? on Open Source Social Bookmarking Service · · Score: 4, Funny

    you mean it's ridi.cul.us ?

  5. Great news today for del.icio.us ! on Open Source Social Bookmarking Service · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Joshua Schachter had some great news today, quitting his day job and now committed full time to del.icio.us, with the help of some outside investment.

  6. quite an effect on Open Source Social Bookmarking Service · · Score: 2, Informative

    Interesting conversation on the del.icio.us list, give you an idea from both sides.

    I wasn't there... it's only hearsay ;)

    "On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." - Charles Babbage

  9. in time for the Montreal PHP Conference on Beginning PHP 5 and MySQL E-Commerce · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, just one more week! http://conf.phpquebec.org/ You can't miss this if you're serious about PHP (whoa, never thought I'd hear myself say that).

  10. EFF and Berkeley on BBC on DRM and Trusted Computing · · Score: 3, Informative

    The EFF has been following the DRM issue for quite some time now. See also this 2003 conference on DRM at Berkeley.

  11. Re:The Human Brain on USA National Memory Championships · · Score: 1

    Power, it's more about its distribution. Some are more visual, some auditory, some learn better alone, others depend on groups, etc. Power means squat. We're talking vectors here. Oh wait, no, what was it..?

  12. Re:Bazaar-NG on BitMover Releases Open Source BitKeeper Client · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Maybe you'd prefer a haskell implementation ? Darcs is decentralized, based on a "theory of patches" with roots in quantum mechanics.

    Written in Haskell, darcs is used on many operating systems including Linux, MacOS X, FreeBSD, and Windows. Darcs includes a CGI script to browse your repository from the web.

  13. Re:Nice on Google Launches Google Code · · Score: 1

    You can _use_ GPL, BSD and proprietary software together on the same system, you know. And even more so when you are not distributing.

  15. Portable Virtual Privacy Machine on WinOS+QEMU+Knoppix 3.8 = WinKnoppix! · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here's another option, designed for a USB key. It runs Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. all in a virtual linux machine. The release is planned to work on GNU/Linux, ms windows and mac os x, although the current release candidate doesn't work on the mac. It also uses qemu, of course. More info: Portable Virtual Privacy Machine.

  16. Re:Mirror link on GPL Violators On The Prowl · · Score: 1

    I generally mirror with Coral (notice the .nyud.net:8090 in that url?), but then, I'm lazy.

    euh, ssl certificates ?

  18. Re:Not much. on GCC 4.0 Preview · · Score: 1

    Well, considering the first c++ was a c preprocessor, I'm not surprised.

  19. Re:Google Groups on Another Nail In Usenet's Coffin? · · Score: 1

    Maybe because people abuse quoting and top posting... god I hate that!

    w3c even supports images in an xterm as seen in this debian screenshot.

    Try these Coral links, the torrent tracker is busted: Note: these urls use the Coral Distribution Network to easy the pain on the servers a bit.

    I'm still hoping for the day RMS and Debian finally agree...

  23. Re:Why slashdot the tool? on DURL, a Search Tool for del.icio.us · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the source, I did the same thing on my end. See my Durl update for more info.

  24. Re:del.icio.us In A Nutshell on DURL, a Search Tool for del.icio.us · · Score: 1

    I'm still looking for the one ring to rule them all. Actually, Durl will probably turn into something like that, given enough time... see my Durl update for more info.

  25. Re:DURL alternative with time-line graph on DURL, a Search Tool for del.icio.us · · Score: 1

    Good idea, I'm planning on implementing the same thing in the next little while... see Durl Update. Also note that del.icio.us will soon be provinding the RSS feed itself, so I have to think of more stuff for Durl ;)
