  1. Re:What scares me... on Judge Orders SCO, IBM To Produce Disputed Code · · Score: 1
    There are quite a few bits that can be used with Linux that are not public.

    Binary modules/X11 drivers are not a contribution to Linux. Linux is an open source kernel. Just about the only contribution you can make is source code.

  2. What scares me... on Judge Orders SCO, IBM To Produce Disputed Code · · Score: 1

    Is that the judge ordered IBM to give SCO all non-public contributions IBM made to Linux....which tells me the judge doesn't even know what Linux is. There is not such thing as a non public contribution to Linux.

  3. Re:Because I'm so sure that MSN users are that sma on MSN Search Blocking Results For XFree86? · · Score: 1

    why do all the games look like they were written in 1990

    1982 man, 1982.

    Linux is not for the average user. Its basically designed for the hobbyist/developer/administrator who need the kind of power to totally customize their environment for specific tasks, work, programs, fun, etc. If you want to use it as a general desktop system with no prior experience you need to reach at least...level 22 geek or enjoy computers enough to want to learn the OS.

    True. If you have reached a level of cluefulness where you need to find information on Xfree86 then you are using Google as well.

  5. opteron whipped its ass on Xeon vs. Opteron Performance Benchmarks · · Score: 0, Redundant

    In the two way tests when the Xeon won it was always by a margin of like 1% to 3% where as when the Xeon lost, it was usually by 5-11+%. Not sure how the Xeon fared well here since it has lots more clock speed and lots more cache. It basically got owned hard core.

  7. Re:What needs to be proven on Infinium Labs Threatens HardOCP Again · · Score: 2, Informative

    If HardOCP truly takes journalism seriously, then a few corrections should be forthcoming. The fact that an expense paid invitation to view the facility was turned down suggests a strong anti-Infinium bias.

    Did you happen to read the link at HardOCP. They made 5 corrections.

  18. Re:I'm with the AC above on EFF Continues Fight On Blizzard Vs. Bnetd Case · · Score: 1

    At the time they picked up the case the DMCA reverse engineering clause had not been tested in court so it was an important battle. Since then its been tested twice that I know of, with garage door openers and printer cartridges. That doesn't mean they have to drop it. Its still never been tested with respect to software. This case is important because if BNETD looses it sets a precident for companies to use the DMCA against freely available software which emulates threir commerical software/service.
