  1. Java/.NET Agreement on MS-Sun Agreement Leaves Opening For OO.org Suits · · Score: 1

    This agreement was mainly to cover Java patents applicable on .NET.

    Microsoft was only covering is ass. They were not trying to give anything more then they needed to Sun.

  2. Classical case of memory overwriting on New & Revolutionary Debugging Techniques? · · Score: 1

    When your program tend to crash on random lines most of the times its because you overwrite your own memory (variables) without knowing it.

    Check:
    -strncpy not putting a ending '\0'.
    -writing more than buffer length.
    -if you pass a pointer to a fonction it must have been allocated (most of the time).
    -That all your new/malloc return good values.

  4. Collusion?! on Tom's Investigates Hard Drive Warranty Changes · · Score: 2, Informative

    Same annoncement (3 year to 1 year warranty), on same product (ATA IDE harddrive), on the same day (1 oct 2002). Ring the bell to anyone?

    In the normal way of thing, one would have changed is warranty and the 2 others after a couple of months would have realized it was a good idea and would had done the same, not the 3 on the same day!

    Secondly if only one of them would have changed is warranty customers and OEMs would have boycut the manufacturer just like IBM a couple of months ago. But now the 3 biggest harddrive manufacturer have changed their policies so you have not a lot of other reliable harddrive manufacturers to choose from (so far less boycut possible).

    Come on, go fill a "File a Complain Online" on the http://www.ftc.gov/ Federal Trade Commision you are only 2 click away.

    Take 5 minutes to denonce this collusion between the 3 manufacturers (Western Digital, Maxtor, Seagate), the problem is not that they drop the warranty but that they all agreed to reduce the choice and/or the price/quality ratio of the same products(ATA IDE hard-drives) thus reducing the customer in is fundamental right to choose the best product and to be in a fair trading country.

    enough :)

  5. *MS*NBC on Is Linux Dead? · · Score: 1

    Do I really need to remember you that MSNBC is a joint venture between GE and THE BEAST. It's not surprise Microsoft use it as a BrainWashing mechanism.

  8. Conspiracy Theory: CIA make-up on CIA Warns China Might Be Planning Cyber Attack · · Score: 1

    Why in the whole world the CIA would give a secret report to the newspapers?

    The only logic explaination is to keep the americain public opinion has low as possible towards China: the Evil communist folks and to try the ground for a new regulation on the web.

    But in an other way the internet is not at the avantage of China cause it's a salepitch for the americain way of life, capitalist, and less but still controlled speech.

    What is the diference between Democratie and Communist(Totalitarism)?
    In communist, you have to think the way they want, in capitalism you can think what you want as long has you think what they want you to think.
