  1. Re:Er... no on Is the SCO Lawsuit a Good Thing for Linux? · · Score: 1

    The OP's point was not that non-violent crimes should go unpunished, but that prison, segrigation, is only needed when there is a risk of violence towards others.

  2. Re:Sci Fi is often closer to reality than we think on Engineering From Science Fiction · · Score: 5, Informative

    Who modded this interesting? It's a troll.

    Francium is heavyer than aluminium, it is extreamly reactive with water (as in selfignition reactive), and it is extreamly reactive with air. To add to the point, its melting temp is 27.2C, so it is definatly not a building material...

    In short, nice one P.E...

  3. Re:I understood enough to understand ... on Technical Analysis of XBox Save Game Hack · · Score: 1

    This hack was actualy discoverd a while ago, its only the breakdown of it thats new.

    Could it be that this hack really isn't "out there" yet? That the "Free the XBox" hackers are actually still in negotiations with Microsoft

    The hack has been repoduced, however it requires a copy of 007, and so afaik, it cannot claim the prize, so the contest continues...

    um, It's open source, so actualy, there is.

  5. DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE! on Cheaper, Cleaner Hydrogen Without Platinum · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Should I be concerned about Dihydrogen Monoxide?

    Yes, you should be concerned about DHMO! Although the U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and saccharine), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful.

    Research conducted by award-winning U.S. scientist Nathan Zohner concluded that roughly 86 percent of the population supports a ban on dihydrogen monoxide. Although his results are preliminary, Zohner believes people need to pay closer attention to the information presented to them regarding Dihydrogen Monoxide. He adds that if more people knew the truth about DHMO then studies like the one he conducted would not be necessary.

    A similar study conducted by U.S. researchers Patrick K. McCluskey and Matthew Kulick also found that nearly 90 percent of the citizens participating in their study were willing to sign a petition to support an outright ban on the use of Dihydrogen Monoxide in the United States."

  6. Re:I can see his point but... on Linux Router Project Dead · · Score: 1

    According to law, you (the author) are the copyright owner. Therefore you can release it however you wish.
    For example, if your progect was GPL'd, and a company aproached you who wanted to use your code in a closed source project, then you could (if you wish) grant them the ability to do so.

    But to answer the question directly, its copyright law that allows you to do so, not the GPL.

  7. Re:Even if they "win".. on IBM Doesn't Comply With SCO's Deadline · · Score: 1

    SCO has done absolutely nothing to explain the problem to Linus, let alone given him enough information to correct the problem

    The problem is not that the code is in there, its the fact that IBM put it there, and in doing so, broke the terms of thier contract.
