  1. Re:Unnecessary commentary? on Nat Demos Dashboard · · Score: 2

    It's just a bit of editorial comment.
    They appear on all other commercial news outlets, albeit in not such an overt form.

  2. What is a Swedish Website? on Sweden Crunches Cookies · · Score: 1

    Not a facile question, but legally, what constitutes a Swedish Website in this context? i) A Swedish company with a website hosted in the US? ii) A US company with a website hosted (mirrored, even) in Sweden?

    What do you want to see? If there's no demand, there's no supply. Mostly.

  5. Re:liberal on Saving the Net · · Score: 1

    I was talking about economic liberalisation, eg removing trade tarrifs and rules, reducing taxes and letting the whole thing run purely on supply-and-demand rules. Not something conducive to Communism.

    SCO is screaming to be bought out by IBM

    This is something which doesn't seem to be mentioned as often as it should.
    SCO are losing money big time. IBM have put significant $$$s into Linux and will be in trouble if SCO win.

    MS bet the firm on .NET
    Sun bet the firm on Java
    IBM bet the firm on Linux
    SCO bet the firm on Lawyers.

    So a Finn finds a vuln in MS IE. First thing s/he does is ring the US Government? Dream on! Governments are, by-and-large, too slow and unwieldy to deal with fast-moving problems like these.

    So what happens when a Finnish hacker finds a vuln in MS IE...should they tell a foreign government first? What about a French hacker? Or an Iraqi hacker? These problems now transcend national government interests.
