  1. Don't know what it is on New Great Ape Discovered? · · Score: 2, Funny

    but I hear it is running for governor of California.

  2. Re:best ide ? on Eclipse in Action · · Score: 1

    I find DND a pain in JBuilder and would like to turn it off. This may just be sluggish JBuilder but I seem to be constently dragging text I don't want to drop around.

  3. Re:BARRATRY! on DirecTV Sues Anyone Who Bought Smartcard Reader? · · Score: 1

    It's not a question of punishing the guilty but punishing the innocent. Isn't there a "golden thread that runs through our jurisprudents" that says something about letting 10 guilty people go free rather then punish one innocent man? directv is hog shit and I am ashamed to live in a country that allows and encourages this sort of behavior by corporations. I will never buy anything from them.

  4. Re:Hard to buy on UK Govt Warned: Don't Buy GPL · · Score: 1

    The government would probably hire a company or contractors from companies to make the changes. They would be working for the government and any coding they did would belong to the gov, I would think. Does that make things more or less confussing in regaurd to the GPL?

  5. Re:Q:govt paid sw developemt should be public doma on UK Govt Warned: Don't Buy GPL · · Score: 1

    You can request software developed for the government (US). They may denie your request for one reason or another, but they have to make a case to not give it out. Not sure if you could then release the source under a GPL or not.

  6. Uninformed question/comment on Online Banking And Browser Support · · Score: 1

    Netscape 7 work at Americas Bank. Here's the uninformed part: I have trouble at Datek on-line brokerage, they only want to support IE (a cry of pain). I sent them an e-mail pointing out that America Online was going to switch to Netscape and they would lose half thier customers. It seems like an excellent threat. Any chance it's true? Ken

  7. Different DeCSS on News.com Links to DeCSS Program · · Score: 1

    Excuse if this was already pointed out, but the links on News.com are mighty small. Could they be a different DeCSS? http://www.pigdog.org/decss/

  8. Re:As far as it wants to. on Kazaa And Exportation of U.S. Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    Gee, I thought Canada was just america north.

  9. Out of the mouths ... on SANS/FBI Release Top 20 Security Vulnerabilities · · Score: 2, Funny

    We had to install a virus checker on our Unix boxes at work. In the manual they ask the question 'Why a virus checker for Unix?'. Their reply was 'because of all the Windows viruses'. Seems they thought it a good idea to catch them before they got to the Windows boxes. They are the professionals, I have to believe them.

  10. Re:strictly being on Gas/Electric Hybrids, Air Cars in the News · · Score: 3, Funny

    >> I (pretend to think I (and I can admit that (as I just did))) Are you a Lisp programmer or do you just lisp when you type?

  11. Re:Two running themes on the night... on Egyptian Pyramid Rover Finds... Another Door · · Score: 1

    >>> The kids heaved on the ropes and it came flying up out of the ditch, over their heads and landed somewhere beyond 'em. Eeep!!

    Right! I was buying the 2 ton block on the grass until it started flying over thier heads. Sounds like a bad SF story to me.
