  1. GRIBS on Sony Music Testing New Copy Protection · · Score: 1
    As long as I see these "artists" pimping their houses/cars on CRIBS I don't buy CD's. The only artist that will get some money from me is the street artist.

    He, what can I do if they tell me to "Steal their Album", but serious that was one of the few CD's I bought in the last year.

  2. Site is not that secure. on SCO Now Willfully Violating the GPL · · Score: 1
    If you go to ftp.sco.com you are asked for a userid and pw. Just leave everything blank and press OK and you are in. So did they remove the IP license? There is Legal Notice in the Root Dir:
    NOTICE: SCO has suspended new sales and distribution of SCO Linux until the intellectual property issues surrounding Linux are resolved. SCO will, however, continue to support existing SCO Linux and Caldera OpenLinux customers consistent with existing contractual obligations. SCO offers at no extra charge to its existing Linux customers a SCO UNIX IP license for their use of prior SCO or Caldera distributions of Linux in binary format. The license also covers binary use of support updates distributed to them by SCO. This SCO license balances SCO's need to enforce its intellectual property rights against the practical needs of existing customers in the marketplace. The Linux rpms available on SCO's ftp site are offered for download to existing customers of SCO Linux, Caldera OpenLinux or SCO UnixWare with LKP, in order to honor SCO's support obligations to such customers.

    I don't think I've ever seen someone actually call Apple a monopoly, and seriously mean it, before reading this article. Is he serious? Apple a monopoly?
    Well they are the only one that sell Apple's.
  5. So you have the money to buy extreme hardware... on Building A High-End Gaming Workstation · · Score: 1
    So why are you trying to safe a few bugs here and a few bugs there. If you have the money to buy good hardware then just do it!
    Don't mind the price, that's why you are getting paid for, to be able to buy a system like THIS ONE!
    And if you really want to be bleeding edge then you need to have a good MONITOR too.

    Bunch of dollar saving monkeys! Spend your dollors now!

  6. Good step for Redhat on Red Hat Explains Stance on KDE/Gnome Desktop Changes · · Score: 2

    I think this is a good idea from Redhat. If you don't like it change it. But by making a "standard" desktop Redhat can deliver much better support to new users. I'm working at a helpdesk. And you you can't tell peopel to start application X, you have to guide them step by step. Start, programms, application X. By making a standard desktop Redhat will improve their support for new users and these new users will keep using linux.
