  1. Oh the irony on New IE Malware Captures Passwords Ahead Of SSL · · Score: 1

    The report says that the malware contacts http://www.refestltd.com/cgi-bin/yes.pl and if you go to http://www.refestltd.com/, it points you to download a spyware scanner.

  2. Biased on Searching for the Best Scripting Language · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think the author is pretty biased away from Java, at least when compared to C#. If you look at the sample code, the class name for C# is always one letter, but for Java it's always spelled out.

    If this is the case, then clearly HTML predates it.

    This doesn't really have a lot to do with package management. If your desktop environment and the program you are installing follows the freedesktop .desktop file standard, it already Just Works.

  6. Re:Do It Right on Memory Hole Un-Redacts Redacted DOJ Memo · · Score: 1

    Print the black-out'ed paper and then scan them back is probably easier

  7. Re:Wrap GPL with LGPL with proprietary, vice versa on Is CocoaTech Violating the GPL? · · Score: 2, Informative

    No you cannot. If your LGPL code links to GPL code, then it needs to be GPL'ed as well.

  8. Re:Moularity on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    Right, MSN probably don't care much about Linux MSN users. But if gaim drops MSN support when it becomes illegal to do so, there is no "infringing" whatsoever.

  9. Re:Misquote - From gaim's MSN author on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    "It is our expectation that those who use our service with unlicensed or unauthorized third-party clients will likely not be able to log on after Oct. 15,"

  10. Re:Moularity on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    As the gaim site and ChipX86's reply to the slashdot headline said, if it's illegal, gaim would just drop MSN support. Your imagination went a bit too far.

    I believe "Add it yourself" is the rightful response to people who make rude comments.

  13. Re:Fuck GAIM on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    Jabber servers can optionally use SSL. I believe MSNv8 also uses SSL.

  15. Re:Fuck GAIM on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    Yes, and it has been explained many times why this is the case. Search the gaim-devel mailing list archive and the gaim sf forum.

    I don't know. But people who uses profanity on a public website tend not to know any better.

  17. Re:Fuck GAIM on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    Gaim does not use Windows registry, even when running on Windows.

    The name that you chose to post under says all. This is the end of this discussion.

  19. Re:Fuck GAIM on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    Please provide a link that says "GAIM isn't for causal users anyways" that's posted by a developer of gaim.

    Please, I personally would like to dig out the person who called gaim GAIM.

  20. Re:Reverse Eng? on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 2, Informative

    As mentioned in the gaim site, using the newest protocol may or may not mean gaim can connect to MSN servers.

  21. Re:I missed the part on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    Wow, how do you know me so well? Well, the slippers that I am wearing happen to be broken, so you are right that I am wearing a pair of cheap shoe, I guess. But other than that, your post not even is offtopic, it does not even reflect fact. First of all, I am not even White, how can I be "poor white trash"? Nor have I ever been to Virginia. Simply because I disagree with you doesn't mean that you need to attack me like this.

  22. Re:Moularity on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    The developer has made it clear that if it's illegal, gaim would not do it.

  23. Re:Straight Quote from the Article on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    The correct thing to say is: "Requiring a license may or may not mean blocking". Mircosoft has plenty of ways to make sure unlicensed client cannot connect, consider that authentication is now done over SSL.

  24. Re:Can't communicate? on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1
    However, upgrading to this does not guarantee us anything.
    Supporting the protocol, unfortunately, do not mean that it can sign on after October 15.
  25. Re:Moularity on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 2, Informative

    Gaim already support protocol plugins. You can write your own MSN (or any other protocol) support any time.
