  1. Re:I'm confused on Palm Sued Over Palm Pre GPL Violation · · Score: 1

    In a reasonable number of years, us GPL supporters will expect all licensed code to become pubic domain.

  2. Try me on Salon.com Editor Looks Back At Paywalls · · Score: 5, Funny

    let the paywalls go up.

    i'll be the one to write a firefox extension that double underlines all paywall sites. And we all know by now... you don't dare even mouseover double underlined text.

  3. Re:We have FAR too many large companies on Comcast to Buy 51% of NBC, GE Goes After 49% · · Score: 1

    GE is just a finance company. Moving NBC from a finance company to a cable company might stir up the industry a bit, don't you think?

  4. Re:This was the way it used to be... on Comcast to Buy 51% of NBC, GE Goes After 49% · · Score: 1

    They'll need more room on City Line Ave... or they could move into that new huge building that could pretty much block out the sun if they wanted to.

  5. Alexa on Google Launches Public DNS Resolver · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised Alexa didn't do it earlier.

  6. Re:Bullshit on Net Neutrality Seen Through the Telegraph · · Score: 1

    I don't think more regulation is needed. But there must be an existing and legitimate regulation that is odds with the notion that Comcast would degrade Vonage traffic on its "Internet" service when it started offering a competing Comcast phone service.

  7. Re:" Microsoft is now blaming the problem on malwa on Black Screen of Death Not Microsoft's Fault · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I asked for them to get rid of the BSOD, they got rid of the BSOD -- that's Windows 7.

  8. Re:Don't like it? Don't pay them. on EA Flip-Flops On Battlefield: Heroes Pricing, Fans Angry · · Score: 1

    If people find value and want to spend the money, they're going to spend it. Furthermore if nobody else buys the stuff, then it becomes even more attractive for people to buy it. This happens until equilibrium.

    You can't fight markets.

  9. Re:What really pisses me right off about paywalled on Google May Limit Free News Access · · Score: 1

    I say bring it.

    With IEEE you can't get the article in question anywhere else.

    For news, you can read the "michael jackson is dead" story from anywhere. Furthermore, society benefits as a whole if we can get away from the news sources we currently have.

  10. Re:More, more! on What Google's Chromium OS Is Reaching For · · Score: 1

    Your example that Apple tried webapps and failed seems like the best response to "how will people respond to the cloudbook?"

    However I have to wonder, would Apple still have failed if Mobile Safari had better caching, real tabs and a real internet connection?

  11. comparatively... on Microsoft Investigates Windows 7 "Black Screen of Death" · · Score: 1

    >> The error means that users of Windows 7 and earlier operating systems see a totally black screen after logging on to the system ... well at least its better than Vista.

  12. Re:Javascript is actually a great language on Trying To Bust JavaScript Out of the Browser · · Score: 2, Insightful

    so when is dom2 coming out?

  13. Re:Review!? on The Cloud Ate My Homework · · Score: 1

    >> IMO just the possibility of this happening at all makes the whole thing suspect, and could bite you in the ass right in the worst moment. "Sorry boss, I can't share that report because Google thinks there's porn in it. We'll have to wait until somebody at Google looks at it". I'm sure that would make for an interesting day.

    >> To be fair, you can always save-as HTML/RTF/DOC/etc. and send your boss that.

    Until Google realizes that one way to continue sharing documents is to have multiple people log in to the same account, at which time they revoke the *creator's* access to their own document.

  14. Re:Waste of tax money on US Congressman Announces Plans To Probe Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    Given its political influence, I'm surprised Wikileaks hasn't been relegated to Tor yet.

  15. Re:Security through obscurity on Ethics of Releasing Non-Malicious Linux Malware? · · Score: 1

    >> It would be interesting to see how far a manual trojan could get on Linux...

    Well, just look at how successful the manual .sig virus was on slashdot

  16. Re:Commendable on Ethics of Releasing Non-Malicious Linux Malware? · · Score: 1

    >> 2) Linux commands on their own can look very cryptic to the uninitiated.. add into that the scripting abilities of most shells.. and a new Linux user won't be able to differentiate a malicious command from one that will get their nvidia driver working again

    you mean like http://x.phor.net/

  17. Re:Ralsky's the guy that Slashdot spammed... on Prison Terms For Spammer Ralsky, Scientology DoS Attacker · · Score: 1

    >> According to the Church of Scientology, Anonymous has harassed and attacked them with '8,139 threatening phone calls, 3.6 million e-mails, 141 million hits on its website, ten acts of vandalism against its property, 22 bomb threats, and eight death threats against Church leaders.'"

  19. Re:Falsibility. on New Research Forecasts Global 6C Increase By End of Century · · Score: 1

    Here's is news from today that would not get accepted to Slashdot front page:

    Hackers Prove Global Warming Is A Scam
    http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2009/11/hackers-prove-global-warming-is-scam.html ... Thanks to hackers (or an insider) who broke into The University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) and downloaded 156 megaybytes of data including extremely damaging emails, we now know that data supporting the global warming thesis was completely fabricated. ...

  20. VISA on Xbox Live Class Action Being Investigated · · Score: 1

    Just call Visa and reverse the charge.

    What's the problem?

  21. (used to be) the highest respect on Linus Torvalds For Nobel Peace Prize? · · Score: 1

    ... wait until the Chrome OS PC comes out.

  22. Re:We Should Care on Second Life To Remove Free Content From Web Search · · Score: 1

    could you please be more specific about these policies and link to the posts? or provide a relevant google query?

    I would like to read more.

  23. Re:What? on Federal Judge Says Corps of Engineers Liable For Katrina Damage · · Score: 1

    they're not stupid, but don't come demanding my help when they flood, or don't tell me they were surprised.

    asking for help... that's another story.

  24. Re:What? on Federal Judge Says Corps of Engineers Liable For Katrina Damage · · Score: -1, Troll

    waaaa... I live in a river, below sea level (or on the flood coast of florida for that matter) who will come save me?

    waaaa... I paid too much for my house and assumed I'd always have a job, now things changed, who will come save me?

  25. Re:Copywrong. on Google Accused of Violating Copyright In China · · Score: 1

    then I recommend you sell copies of the original Mickey Mouse series in protest of the law.
