  1. Re:Superman on Interchangeable Data Storage Bricks? · · Score: 1

    I was thinking of 2010 and Hal's memory "bricks"...

  2. Re:Why not secure your website first? on Vote Tabulator Security Hole Exposed · · Score: 1

    Don't worry - they've already been warned. Your whining is not necessary and the point was obviously lost on you.

  3. Why not secure your website first? on Vote Tabulator Security Hole Exposed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    http://www.blackboxvoting.org/?q=node/view/25' (SQL Injection vulnerability) You'd think that people who knew so much about what's wrong with Diebold security would do their own homework first. Not to let Diebold off the hook but we all have our due diligence to follow. Kudos to putting the pressure on Diebold but let's try to lead by example shall we?

  4. Re:Somebody's going to exploit this... on Free Software, Free Society · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I suggest you go back a review the MySQL license again: (www.mysql.com)

    "As long as you never distribute (internally or externally) the MySQL Software in any way, you are free to use it for powering your application, irrespective of whether your application is under GPL or other OSI approved license or not. "

    Now, if you're saying that you want to include MySQL in an application that you intend to distribute for commercial gain and not pass conpensation back down the line to MySQL AB then I say you are doing the very same thing that you are accusing them of doing - trying to profit from someone else's work.

    To me their license makes perfect sense and is quite fair.

  5. Yeah...Right on Pro-Active Furniture Assembly · · Score: 1

    So now the same cheap, particle-board, crappy furniture will cost 3 times as much because of all this hardware that assumes I'm an idiot. I guess the purchase price already proved that.... This is right along with today's current RF ID technology. $2 per tag to track a $3 box of widgets. Makes good sense....
