  1. Woops... on Interview with Brewster Kahle · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I would imagine doing a rm -fR / might not go down too well, even with the backups

  2. The mainstream press.......... on Microsoft Settlement Compliance Criticized · · Score: 1
    From the article
    Those companies, which include Linux firms, use a special "free software" license called the General Public License that bars any payment.
    Well last time I looked the FSF actually encorages you to sell GPL software http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/selling.html. Of course the person you sell it to can give it to his mates, stick it on the web without payment.
  3. Can't Find /. Story on RIAA Smacked by DoS · · Score: 1

    I don't understand how they where DoSed, I can't find a /. story posted over the weekend with a link to RIAA.

  4. OSS != Free Software on UK Sets Open Source Procurement Policy · · Score: 1
    Open Source Software (OSS) is software whose source code is openly published, is often developed by voluntary efforts and is usually available at no charge under a licence defined by the Open Source Initiative which prevents it from being redistributed under a more restrictive licence
    So they are describing the GPL licence but calling it "Open". Hope they don't meet Richard Stallman on a dark night.
  5. Re:didn't anyone click on the link? on News Sites Getting to Know You · · Score: 1
    what the hell's wrong with ojr.org? It looks like crap in Galeon, Mozilla, and Konqueror. The fonts are tiny and all squished together.
    I don't know it's slashdoted :-)
