  2. Re:KDE offers better Tamil, Hindi and Urdu support on Indian Companies Embracing Linux Faster Than Ever · · Score: 2, Funny

    Since the GP claims to use "Tamil" he probably has basic (highly unlikely) knowledge of Hindi and no knowledge of Bengali.

    The important questions is...

    Is there a way for the governments to verify if the binaries that MS ships is from the same source that they are getting to see?

  12. Re:Not to ruin the mood... on Knoppix 3.3 Is Out · · Score: 3, Informative

    The websites had an option of either closing down the whole site or having a protest page shown whenever someone visits the site for the first time.
    (ie., http-referer is other than the site.)

    Most projects have chosen to go with the latter as it would cause minimum disruption to their own users while providing maximum exposure to the anti-patent protest.

  13. Re:Not to ruin the mood... on Knoppix 3.3 Is Out · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If the bill passes a lot of these sites could be forced to shutdown due to some stupid patent or the other. Atleast future innovation would be greatly hampered. And the page being like it is .. makes sure anyone getting to the site actually reads the stuff.. people might ignore smaller links/notices like they ignore banner ads! The protests have been successful in that it has made the lawmakers do a rethink... now it only remains to see what happens tomorrow(wednesday).

  14. Re:To Divide or To Unite - Does Money Decide ?? on Canadian Telcos Agree on WiFi Hotspot Standard · · Score: 1

    o Because if they were not interoperable.. you would be tied down to a single ISP. o If IM were as interoperable as say email... they would be much cheaper. It is very much a doable thing.(see jabber ) but the IM companies don't see any profit in being interoperable with everyone even if they went paid... they'd rather be selectively interoperable amongst each other for a price that way the market would still be split 4-5 ways instead of a million way split if we went for something like jabber.
