  1. Re:Of course on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 1

    Civil and criminal laws are different.

  2. Wow on Copy-Protected CDs Going Mainstream · · Score: 1

    Aren't you erm.... exagerating a little bit? :-)

  3. standard answer on Copy-Protected CDs Going Mainstream · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Actually, I think this means that you can ONLY listen to these disks on Windows systems.

    It only takes one Windows system to make it work for the rest. Warez community can afford it :-)

  4. Hmmm.... on Copy-Protected CDs Going Mainstream · · Score: 1
    Oh dear... the recording industry simply never learns do they?

    Maybe Microsoft has fooled them to think this DRM stuff really works.

  5. Only Windows affected? on Copy-Protected CDs Going Mainstream · · Score: 4, Interesting
    I don't know this means that people will stop listening to "illegal" music or they'll stop using Windows to listen music.


    There're a lot of Linux users that keep a Windows box for games. In the future some Windows users could want a Linux box (maybe a barebones) for media.

  6. Re:Yes on Has GNOME Become LAME? · · Score: 1, Informative

    If you can consistently reproduce crashing, why don't you report the bug?.

  7. Re:game on! on Where Should Space Exploration Go From Here? · · Score: 1
    We need somebody to step up like JFK did and say "We're going to point X by date Y, and there's no stopping us."

    Why JFK?. We have plenty PHB's to say it.

  8. I'm too old on Science Fact From Fiction · · Score: 1
    Open to: - space and science fiction enthusiasts from all nations between 15 and 30 years of age .

    Of course everyone over 30 are too stupid to have any useful idea.

  9. Nice on MS .net vs Mono, Open Source · · Score: 1
    In all likelyhood Mono will do little to threaten Microsoft's dominance anyhow...

    If it fails, they won't be sued. Stop caring.

  10. Re:Schweet! on Microsoft to Buy Rational and/or Borland? · · Score: 1
    Excellent! Where can I pre order Visual Pascal?

    AKA C#.

  11. I suspect that... on Incredible Images of the Sun · · Score: 1

    I suspect that "La Palma" is the name of a spanish island in the Canarias archipelago. BTW, *if* this is the case, it would have been nice to mention the country that hosts these telescope.

  12. don't hurry on PKWare Zips to Growth · · Score: 1

    Maybe the editor was trying to be ironic... compression, growth...

  13. Re:Oh, please! on NASA Cancels Moon Hoax Book · · Score: 1
    Isn't there a better use for your time than writing code for Linux?

    For all my time?.

    If HE thinks it's a good use of HIS time then it is.

    Hmmmm... yes.

  14. Re:somewhat OT on When Good Interfaces Go Crufty · · Score: 1

    Install Shield, an installations generator program!!, did exactly this last time I checked it.

  15. Good but... on NASA Cancels Moon Hoax Book · · Score: 1
    He says he will still do the work, although it will now be an unofficial publication with alternative funding.

    Isn't there more interesting books that could be written?. What a waste!. Even if funds won't come from NASA, it's a waste of the time of some valuable person.

    Never waste your time trying to convince somebody that won't be convinced anyway.

  16. Re:Sounds kinda like X on Operating Systems Are Irrelevant · · Score: 5, Funny
    a stream of time-ordered files that can be reorganized instantly into substreams by topic

    Slashdot?

  17. Re:Most immediate space challenge? Riiight.... on Beaming into Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow, I always thought that the likelihood of an iceberg hitting this ship was low, at least low enough that ther are probably better things to spend one's time addressing...

  18. Meanwhile on Mozilla: The Good And The Bad · · Score: 1

    You can use a nifty Python proxy for NTLM. I used it for six months and it worked great.

  19. Platform on Competitive Cross-Platform Development? · · Score: 1

    Mozilla is a platform. It's possible to write all the GUI stuff with XUL and encapsulate C++ code in components that would be called from the GUI.

  20. Re:Aw man... on Transmeta Needs Microsoft · · Score: 1
    If not, you will die. Example: IBM (in software), Borland,...

    IBM and Borland have died?.

  21. My own favourite on Microsoft Alternative in Extremadura, Spain · · Score: 1
    Two great brothers will be chased out of Spain,
    The elder conquered under the Pyrenees mountains:
    The sea to redden, Rhône, bloody Lake Geneva from Germany,
    Narbonne, Béziers contaminated by Agde

    We all came out to Montreux
    On the Lake Geneva shoreline
    To make records with a mobile
    We didn't have much time

    Frank Zappa and the Mothers
    Were at the best place in town
    When some stupid with a flare gun
    Burned the place to the ground

    Smoke on the water
    A fire in the sky
    Smoke on the water

  22. Re:The scariest part on LaGrande, TCPA, and Palladium · · Score: 1

    They know that they won't win in the long run. They must take as much as they can while they can.

  23. Maybe a stupid idea but... on Knoppix for Rapid Desktop Deployment · · Score: 1
    Would it be possible to take a snapshot of memory just after a sucessful first time boot and just load it for "speed boots"?.

    If you don't change your hardware, it could work, couldn't it?.

  24. Pop-11 on Forth Application Techniques · · Score: 1
    If you like this sort of odd features in a language, try Pop-11, a Lisp-like language developed years ago, now open sourced.

    Used mostly for teaching AI, it has a lot of weird features. It also let programmers to manipulate the stack. The VM, called "poplog", supports multilanguage (.net invented 20 years ago) with ML + Prolog + Pop-11 + Lisp implementations off the box, and allows incremental compilation (very similar to CMUCL).

    Here you will find an online primer. Another good site.

  25. Re:Much more interesting - a leaner JPetStore on Another J2EE vs .NET Performance Comparison · · Score: 1
    They produced, using Jakarta Struts, a Java pet store web application that is much leaner.

    I thought that it was Java "official" platform for enterprise apps what was being compared, not Java as a language and libs found in the net.

    Now let'w write a Perl/PHP/Python/Apache - Postgresql version of this pet project.
