  1. Re:Slippery Slope continues. on US Government Seizes Torrent Search Engine Domain · · Score: 4, Informative

    ImmixGroup seems to have "been awarded a contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Cyber Crimes Center (C3)" http://www.immixgroup.com/news/pr_display.cfm?ID=117 . That would make a hoax unlikely.

    I Agree!

  3. Re:Cool but... on Via Launches New Line of Mini-ITX Boards · · Score: 3, Informative

    The previous C3 "nehemiah" line of epia boards had a model with 2 ethernet ports on it. These should come out for this model as well.

  4. fuel for the fire on Microsoft Won't Offer Patch Before Worm Strikes? · · Score: 1

    The arguments for switching just come from the news. I hate having to explain why it a "Good Thin" (tm) not to use windows.

  5. Re:A warning to the KDE project? on Oracle Acquires Innobase · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm not quite sure if the KDE community can maintain the same development pace of QT as trolltech does, but they do have some contingency plans for the QT codebase. see the KDE Free QT Foundation.

  7. GiFT on Kazaa-lite Shut Down · · Score: 5, Informative

    Who cares, there ae enough GiFT frontends for both linux and windows available which will give you the same functionality.

  8. Specifications on SCO Claims IBM/SGI Licenses are Revokable · · Score: 1

    The excerpt from the contract states that ther is a 2 month term to act on the "Breaches specified" in the "Written notice" which should precede it.

    As far as I'm aware SCO has yet to disclose all of the code. So what does this add to our circus parade?

  9. Re:Huh? on 3rd Lawsuit Against VeriSign Seeks Class Action · · Score: 1

    CowboyNeal is the "I don't know what to choose" option of he old polls, when he world was flat, the air was clean and dogs were still barking out of their arses.

  11. Re:CD Writing support? on First Mandrake 9.1 Review Out · · Score: 1

    Try K3B http://k3b.sourceforge.net

    It's extremely easy to use, just drag 'n drop, and even supports dvd/audio ripping directly to cd. I believe that SuSE was going to include it in their distro...

  12. How does this affect current and future licencing? on Ask a Legal Expert How MS Ruling Affects Open Source · · Score: 1

    The judge ruled that microsoft has to make out for itself what licence strategies it will apply, could they apply licences to current and future programs/api's which would virtually outlaw any open source project for their os?

  13. Re:Daunting? on Debian Desktop Subproject Launched · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's not the text-based idea that's the problem, usability and ease. With slackware or an old suse text based install I was quite happy, I could select every package I wanted, and knew what it did without getting lost in numerous tabs and windows, when I tried Debian I was amazed at how needlesly complicated it was, I knew what I wanted to install, but after 45 minutes I was lost in the maze. I'm back with slack now...:)

  14. Re:Um. on U.S. Developing 100-Kilowatt Laser for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1

    copy/paste some museum:
    The M61A1 Vulcan cannon is a six-barrel 20mm gun capable of firing 6,600 rounds per minute. Its operation is based upon the principle used in the rapid-firing gun invented by Richard J. Gatling in the 1860s. The six rotating barrels, firing one at a time, permit a high rate of fire while at the same time reducing the problem of barrel wear and heat generation. The gun can be driven electrically, hydraulically, or by a ram-air turbine. The Vulcan has equipped such USAF aircraft as the F-104, F-105B/D/F, F-15, F-16, A-7D, F-111A, F-4E, B-58, and B-52H. A ram-air driven M61A1 is the heart of the SUU-16/A external gun pod that can be carried under the wings of high-performance aircraft lacking internally mounted guns. The Vulcan is one of the USAF weapons that served in Operation Desert Storm.

  15. Re:Which are more successful? on More Attacks on Linux than Windows · · Score: 1

    I've had my linux box on the net for 3 days now and for the past three days some geek apperantly tried to hack it, by trying to access cmd.exe(through http get in apache) in a lot of different way's. He didnt even try to see what server/os I was running, if these are hacker attacks, I wouldn't worry about those figures.
