  1. YouTube is still banned in Turkey on Blogger.com Banned In Turkey · · Score: 4, Informative

    As a Turkey citizen all I can say is this sucks a lot, but does not surprise me a little. YouTube is banned for months and the ban won't seem to be lifted soon.

  2. Re:You're confusing General license with Lesser on PlayStation 2 Game ICO Violates the GPL · · Score: 1, Redundant

    glibc is LGPL , not GPL.

  3. libavcodec is not affected, Heise is wrong on Multiple FLAC Vulnerabilities Affect Every OS · · Score: 2, Informative

    libavcodec never ever used libFLAC, it has its own FLAC encoding & decoding code, hence not affected. Lousy journalism on Heise part.

  4. Money spent on R&D on Google's Shadow Over Firefox · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Shouldn't a technology company spend more than $300,000 on Research & Development? There many bugs in Firefox, even some security bugs stay unfixed for years. And equally important memory leak bugs. I think more money could be spend on better timely responses to security bugs and also fix speed/memory problems plaguing Firefox.

  5. If Redhat dies on Will Red Hat Survive? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What will Oracle rip^^^base its Unbreakable Linux on?

  6. Re:innovation? on Firefox 2.0 To Debut Tuesday · · Score: 4, Informative

    It was first introduced in NetCaptor browser, more history here.

  7. Qt license on Why is OSS Commercial Software So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    Startups get up to 65% discount for Qt licenses, see http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/licenses/pric ing/licensing/smallbusiness . So you either didn't even ask Trolltech for licensing options or you are just FUDding. *sigh*

  8. Link to 64-bit edition on Vista RC1 Build 5728 Publicly Released · · Score: 5, Informative
  9. Re:So the end result is that... on On Software Patent Lawsuits Against OSS · · Score: 1

    Alan Cox is in UK not US.

  10. Problem in Konqueror on Slashdot CSS Redesign Winner Announced · · Score: 1

    Collapsing the left sidebar's sections doesn't work with Konqueror 3.5.3 ( to be released soon ).

  11. 9/11 , International Terrorism and the rest on US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape · · Score: 1

    Watch BBC Documentary The Power of Nightmares and it will all start to make sense.

  12. Re:Canards on OpenDocument Alliance to Fight Digital Dark Age · · Score: 2, Informative

    Koffice has already moved to ODF.

  13. Already done on Search Engine For Coders to Launch · · Score: 3, Informative
  14. Only publicly known bugs on Another Look At Mozilla's BugFix Rate · · Score: 1

    There were cases when there was a security bug known for years but only got fixed after public disclosure. If you look at that way they are not better than Microsoft at all.

  15. A Quake Like Console : Yakuake on Time Saving Linux Desktop Tips? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try Yakuake. Its a Quake like console for KDE. The best thing it can be hidden/shown with one key ( F12 default) so it doesn't steal your screen estate and can be enabled instantly when you need it.

  16. Re:Presentation on Berners-Lee Says Internet Will Make Kids Creative · · Score: 1

    And father of World Wide Web .

  17. And this means... on Indiana Schools May Purchase 300K Linux Computers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Possible 300K KDE deployments ... Those K just goes fine ;-)

  18. Because on Why Doesn't the Itanium Get the Respect It's Due? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Itanium is broken by design. Its asm syntax etc is different from amd64 on *purpose* which was to create to incompatible 64bit system where Intel would keep AMD out of the market. Oh well, they failed badly.

  19. The big question on Microsoft Ends Era Of Closed File Formats · · Score: 1

    Whats the license of the docs explaining XML format ?

  20. KDE on Google Launches Summer of Code · · Score: 1

    Where is it?

  21. Hehe on Your Chance to Meet Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    I am sure all windows admins are lined up for this already =)

  22. Re:Why cvs history is important for Khtml etc. on Safari And KHTML May Never Meet · · Score: 1

    You missed the post where I told you KHTML guys were ready to sign NDA and do radar convertion.

  23. Re:Culture conflict? on Safari And KHTML May Never Meet · · Score: 1

    Hint: NO

  24. Re:Why cvs history is important for Khtml etc. on Safari And KHTML May Never Meet · · Score: 1

    Actually it would even helped if they added notes like "fixed handling" instead of the current "fix rdar://13232445" which means nothing for KHTML team.

  25. Re:Culture conflict? on Safari And KHTML May Never Meet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unlike Apple's own GCC team you mean who works side by side with other gcc hackers and even some of them takes care of gcc bugzilla.
