  1. Re:They left out the most important information... on Indian Linux PDA For $300 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Look at this page, it says there what releases it's using.
    HTH :-)

  2. Re:SliMP3... on Component MP3/OGG Players? · · Score: 1

    It's just too expensive. I mean whatfor are those 250USD? One small circuit board with some ICs, one nice display (ok, probably this one is expensive, but not _that_ expensive) a remote control and some cables..
    Admittedly, I am not from the US, and outside of the US the USD is worth even more.. :-/

  3. Re:Motorola on Component MP3/OGG Players? · · Score: 1

    hm. I searched around a bit but couldn't find anything.. could you please ask your friend what this little thing's name is? Thank you very much!

  4. I do on Declaring The Death of Metatags · · Score: 1

    ..just in case sometime I want to put them into an own "private" index. I guess I would not have Googles cool algorithms therefor I have to (and can, since I am the author of the pages) rely on meta info.

  5. Re:Just when you thought..... on OSI Approves Two New Licenses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    uhm. Everyone can write his/her own license, of course. So I guess the number of licenses is practically infinite :)

  6. southern hemisphere? on Abrupt Climatic Change Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    But what about the southern hemisphere? The (very interesting!) article only says about the consequences for the northern hemisphere, which will get much more cooler. So I guess the southern hemisphere is getting much more warmer?

  7. Re:guru? on Linux Kernel 3.0? · · Score: 1

    For me (as said before, I think this is mainly an interpretation thing; I guess there's no official guru standard;) Guru is not only the technical knowledge.
    But I've to admit, you've some very good arguments :)
    Nice evening..

  8. Re:guru? on Linux Kernel 3.0? · · Score: 1

    Sorry for the inexactness. What I meant is that in my opinion there can only be one "guru" per project/organisation.
    Like RMS is the guru, but Kuhn is not the guru.
    Matter of personal taste/interpretatio, I guess

  9. guru? on Linux Kernel 3.0? · · Score: 1

    An "ordinary" kernel hacker is not the same as a guru... please think about it. btw: Link works for me, i.e. isn't down.

  10. Re:just great... on Stealware: Kazaa et al Stealing Link Commissions · · Score: 1

    What do you mean by "list of installed programs"? The Add/Remove Software Panel in the Control Panel? I'd suggest using Lavasoft's AdAware to detect spyware. (freeware version available!)

  11. Re:Moral issues anyone? on Stealware: Kazaa et al Stealing Link Commissions · · Score: 1

    Admittedly it is an interesting question what Amazon etc. has to say about this.
    well, perhaps they just don't mind.

  12. Re:just great... on Stealware: Kazaa et al Stealing Link Commissions · · Score: 1

    Look for Kazaa lite on google. Might prove helpful.

  13. Re:going a little far don't you think? on Stealware: Kazaa et al Stealing Link Commissions · · Score: 1

    The money they get through this scam/whatever isn't going to Spears, isn't it? It stays for their (i.e. Kazaa's/Limewire's/etc) employees, as far as i understood..

  14. Re:Web Server Tools on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    I didn't even mention IIS, I didn't want a comparrison - but it's ok if you're out of arguments.

  15. Not just china on Why Software Piracy is Good for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I am sure the same applies to most other countries too. At least for "personal piracy", i.e. the 15 yo guy burning his WinXP for the neighbour. And not just for MS, but for many other software vendors too, e.g. Aliaswavefront with its Maya software package.
    Those 15yos wouldn't make any money anyway and couldn't BUY the software anyway. But this way they learn how to use it and later if they need it to make money and have the money to buy it they will buy it. Easy as that.

  16. 7zip on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    http://www.7-zip.org/ great packager, GNU GPLed. Supports many formats (apart from its own..) Perhaps not for the average computer user but still very practical are the win32 ports of all those nifty unix tools (egrep, sed, patch, wc...; just search for unix tools windows on google)

  17. Re:Web Server Tools on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    Please tell me of those "share of bugs and worms" and don't forget that the slapper thingy is not an Apache bug..

  18. Re:PuTTY on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    Though putty is great & complete sometimes you only need a simple telnet client - use dtelnet for this task. It's just one small executable and worked very fine for me. Special extra: Proxy support (SOCKS & HTTP)

  19. Re:KaZaA on EFNet Reaches 100,000 Concurrent Connections · · Score: 0

    yea, I noticed this already yesterday. I just wonder why I can't find that much music then. Where have all those audiogalaxy shares have gone to?

  20. Re:Efnet summed up in one line. on EFNet Reaches 100,000 Concurrent Connections · · Score: 3, Funny

    You will. Just go to this site.

  21. Re:BSD?? on OpenSSL Gets Cryptography Gift From Sun · · Score: 0

    I never said it originally came from OpenBSD.

  22. Re:Now what on AMD Opteron to support Palladium · · Score: 1, Insightful

    update your stock of chips now. you won't need this 10GHz chip that soon. Only Intel, AMD etc. try to talk you into believing you will.

  23. Re:BSD?? on OpenSSL Gets Cryptography Gift From Sun · · Score: 0

    didn't openssl come from openbsd..? a bit like openssh?

  24. lwn on OpenSSL Gets Cryptography Gift From Sun · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ..had this some time ago already. Well, you shouldn't count on general-news-media as your primary sources :-)

  25. not very good comparison on Helping Computers Help Themselves · · Score: 0

    ..since you go to the doctor now and then too..
