  1. The patent is from 1997. Does anybod know how long such a patent is valid?

  2. Do what a Debian developer would do... on Ask Slashdot: Best Computer For a 7-Year Old? · · Score: 1

    This guy has some interesting blog posts about introducing the shell and linux to his kids: http://changelog.complete.org/archives/category/technology/children-computing

  3. Not a big thing... on Vodafone Femtocells Rooted, Secret Keys Exposed · · Score: 2
  4. I, for one... on Signs of Water Found On Saturnian Moon Enceladus · · Score: 0

    I, for one, welcome our new Saturnian Overlords!

  5. With SDXC round the corner ... on Will You Stream Or Download Your Mobile Music? · · Score: 1

    I want all my p0rn^w music on 165 mm^2! http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdxc

  6. Re:Why no 32 bit browser? on Adobe Releases Preview of 64-bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1
    Check out this: http://swiftweasel.tuxfamily.org/

    For the debian based distros there is a package called swiftweasel32 which is exactly what you described.

  7. My crystal ball tells me ... on In-Game Gold Farming a $500M Industry · · Score: 1
    that this "farming industry" will die. The gaming industry would be stupid if they give away $500M. Gold farming can't be stopped, so I think sooner or later they will offer in-game-gold and maybe items for real $.

    Still strange that so many people work for something virtual, that could just be generated without any labor.

  8. MS on Mark Shuttleworth Reveals Ubuntu Netbook Remix · · Score: 1

    In the article Mark Shuttleworth only talks about his space trip. MS answers all the other questions. Conspiracy!

  9. I, for one... on 25 Percent of All Computers in a Botnet? · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome our new botnet overlords!

  10. Re:Performance vs. VMware, Parallels on Virtualbox Goes OSS · · Score: 1

    It's in German, but check out this:
    http://www.heise.de/open/artikel/83678
    http://www.heise.de/open/artikel/83678/1
    (the last one has a little table that compares the performance of VMware and Virtualbox)

  11. Re:I hope its not bloated on KDE 4 Promises Large Changes · · Score: 1

    There is a distribution called pocketlinux that contains a "KDE light": http://gnulinux.de/pocketlinux/

  12. Specs on Dell Launches Flash Music Player · · Score: 2, Informative
  13. Radio Amateur on European Students to Put Microsatellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    It's a really interesting idea to use the radio amateurs as a network of ground stations. Maybe I should search my 9k6 packet radio equipment...

  14. Re:$9,600?? on Testing The Right To Resell Downloaded Music · · Score: 1

    >Now either someone mistyped a bid, or someone is philantropic here.

    there are some cancelled bids...
    now it's at $780.00...but that's still crazy!

  15. Homepage + Screenshot on Win4Lin 5.0 Reviewed · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Here the homepage of NeTraverse: www.netraverse.com

    ...and a screenshot.

  16. fli4l on Kernel 2.2 - It Lives! · · Score: 1

    The "on(e)-disk-router" fli4l is using the 2.2.22 (nice version!) kernel. I think the 2.4.X kernel would be just too big and you really don't need USB support for a 60 MHz Pentium router with a floppy-disk only!

  17. Ten Reasons... on GDC: 10 Reasons NOT to Make MMOGs · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Taken from http://www.gamespy.com/gdc2003/top10mmog/

    8: A Huge Team is Required
    9: It Requires a Mastery of Too Many Disciplines
    10: Too Many are Being Built

  18. tax program GEtax 2002 on Swiss Tax Office distributes Mozilla and OpenOffice · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's nice to see that the tax program is also available for Linux and Mac OS 9 + X
    http://www.getax.ch/dyn/ledossier.php?id_rubrique= 18

  19. Monocultures on When Will The Next Slammer Strike? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's just the problem of monocultures! Nothing less and nothing more...

  20. Re:Is this REALLY a solution? on FLAC Joins The Xiph Family · · Score: 1

    Your apartment is broken into [...] stolen, including that ultra-rare CD [...] No problem, you've still got the FLAC files and can at least burn yourself a virgin, bit-for-bit exact copy [...] of the audio -- your artwork and individually-numbered disc are still gone, sorry.

    But that's the point! If I lose a rare CD, no FLAC file could be a compensation. The whole CD including artwork, text and so on is art. the music is the major part but the music is the only thing you can copy! and i think you can get nearly every piece of music at Napster's childs...btw, is it illegal to get mp3s through file-sharing if you lost a CD?

  21. Re:DNS queries are for lamers on 98% of DNS Queries at the Root Level are Unnecessary · · Score: 1

    That's nothing...I do a daily backup of the internet..

    (You know 1,44 MB-disks rule!)
