  1. Re:Not the same "RFID" on MasterCard To Distribute RFID Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    Wonderful. You know have an encrypted string that you can't decrypt. What have you accomplished?

  2. Re:Overstaffed R&D on Novell Under Pressure From Investors · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not when one of your basic products is given away free. Novell isn't like IBM where the goal is moving hardware.

  3. Re:I'm wondering... on First Cocktail 5,000 Years Old · · Score: 1

    Especially since the more logical answer is that the containers were used for different things at different times. That they were all in the container at the same time is not proven by the evidence.

  4. Forget it... on Infrastructure for One Million Email Accounts? · · Score: 1

    Of course, none of the solutions offered here are in the least bit compliant with the myriad of regulations that are going to need to be addressed in a enterprise this large. Sorbanes-Oxley is just one of your problems.

    Sorry, but if you need to ask this question on /., you need to outsource this project to a company that specializes in projects this size and will guarantee compliance.

  5. Re:Nonsense on Lessig - Public Domain Dead in 35 Years · · Score: 1

    Let me rephrase this:

    No copyrighted work has passed into public domain by expiration of it's copyright since 1998.

  6. Nonsense on Lessig - Public Domain Dead in 35 Years · · Score: 1

    Nothing has fallen into the public domain for almost a half century before I was born.

    How do you figure that? Something published in 1922 passed into public domain in 1997. You were born in 2047? Nothing has passed into public domain since 1998, but that's 7 years ago not 50.

  7. Did you RTFA? on Your Thoughts on the Great Ozone Debate? · · Score: 1

    The articles do not contradict each other, both say the problem is slowly fixing itself but it will take decades. The CNN article doesn't even mention the hole over the Antartic that the BBC article is talking about.

  8. Re:Hmmmm... on EFF Weighs in on Computer Privacy Case · · Score: 1

    "It was not his responsibility to call the police, nor was it Gateway's"

    WRONG! If you see a crime being comitted and do not report it, you can be charged with a crime. It was his responsibility as a a citizen to report it.

  9. Re:A look at the review summary on High-End, High-Capacity SATA-150 Roundup · · Score: 1

    Does anyone do backups anymore? Only the smart ones. Drives die.

  10. I always said Intel chips on Bacteria Used to Create Nanowires · · Score: 2, Funny

    were crap...

  11. Re:Shuttle ? on NASA's Shuttle Plans · · Score: 1

    The side boosters are the same as the shuttles', just with one more section added. Since they are safely reused now, they certainly should be able to be reused in the future.

  12. Re:These laws... on Ex-Microsoft Exec Barred From Google Job · · Score: 1

    And you would be. It's called a paycheck.

  13. Re:What's it do? on Universal Software Radio Peripheral From GnuRadio · · Score: 1

    RTFA You'd have to buy a daughterboard.

  14. Re:Ummm on Cell Workstations in 2005 · · Score: 1

    IBM stills spends more (last time I looked, 12x more) on Windows development than it does on Linux. They may not be happy about it, but IBM is big on Windows.

  15. Re:Copyright limits on Bringing the Library of Congress Newspapers Online · · Score: 1

    I doubt that these are still under copyright, the problem is no one wants to research if each one is. A newspaper published in 1923 had a 28 year copyright, which would have expired in 1951, It could have been renewed in 1951 for another 28 (later expanded to 47, then 67 years) years, but do you think newspapers renewed the copyrights on each days paper? I find that hard to believe... may be they did, but I doubt it. Now, I can see a problem with newspapers published after 1964 (when the renewals became automatic).

  16. Pledge allegiance? on We Pledge Allegiance to the Penguin · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    And after we pledge, do we start chanting "Sieg Heil" too?

  17. Re:What about workstations? on Dell Teams Up With SUSE · · Score: 1

    Look again... I found 2 models of Dimension, 3 models of Optiplex, and 2 models of Precision available with Linux.

  18. Re:All this talk... on Why IBM Open Sourced Cloudscape · · Score: 3, Informative

    Because too much of the underlying code is owned by Microsoft.

  19. Re:This is good for me... on SBC and Microsoft to Provide HDTV Over IP · · Score: 1

    Forgetting for a moment that this is terribly off topic, there is no way you can have the same number on two different carriers and switch back and forth. If you think about it for a minute, you'll realize what a huge task this would be for the carriers, with relatively little benefit.

  20. Re:Wow..! on Which VNC Software Is Best? · · Score: 1

    Just before IBM pulled the plug on OS/2, I saw a demo of their thin client for OS/2. Ran unbelievably well on old junk machines. They were running 10 386 PC's off a single Pentium server. Unfortunately, it only ran Win 3.1 apps so it was already obsolete.

  21. Re:The acceptable cost of disposal? on Amec Working on Long-Term Nuclear Waste Solution · · Score: 1

    True, but the effects of a jumbo jet going down, while tragic, are temporary and confined to a small area. The effects of a major nuclear accident will be permanent (or close to it) over a wide area.

  22. Re:A bit too high.. on Windows Fails 8% of the Time · · Score: 1

    If the PC's at our company failed this much, I'd be out of a job.

  23. What's the big deal here? on TiVo-like Application for XM Radio Under Fire · · Score: 1

    There are programs that have allowed you to do this for a long time, Total Recorder pro for one...

  24. Re:Well, here we go again... on Mobile Phone - Convergence Point For iPod, Others? · · Score: 1

    That it will die is inevitable. Seriously, there is only 1 reason to buy an ipod... it's cute. But that fads based on style only last a short time. A single use device like the ipod, especially when that 1 use can easily be incoroporated into other devices, cannot last.

  25. Re:Yeah, and? on PayPal Settles Class Action Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    The terms of use that tried to restrict (illegally) a consumer's right to appeal, were removed after ebay bought them. Last time I looked at their appeal process, it looked like it complied with Federal Reserve Regulation E, which the old terms of use definately did not.
