  1. Re:Permanent injuction? How likely is that? on Microsoft Sued Over Patent Infringements · · Score: 1

    It's what the bottom feeders always do. As much as I hate Microsoft, I really hope they win this case. Companies sit on crappy patents and then pull them out when a product is doing well. How's a developer supposed to know it's safe to continue? He can only wait till a product is successful to see if he'll be sued. - Free stuff without getting the referrals? http://referralaccelerated.com/

  2. license plates on Largest Digital Photograph in the World · · Score: 1

    If you zoom in far enough you can read the license plates off the cars in the parking lot. That's pretty damn cool.

  3. allofmp3.com on The Perfect Online Music Store? · · Score: 1

    This is precisely what allofmp3.com does.

  4. Re:Interface Patents are The Least of Users' Conce on Apple Wins iTunes Interface Patent · · Score: 1

    Had they used native GUI components they could have made the same GUI using a fraction of the CPU resources. Less pretty, but probably 5-7mb of ram instead of 35.

  5. Who's going to do it? on Recycle some of your 100 million Pepsi Songs · · Score: 1

    You can only enter 10 codes per day and a maximum of 200 during the whole contest....If they actually think this will become popular they will need a lot of people to redeem these songs.

  6. Re:Music isn't the only thing you can share with i on Windows Program Enables MP3 Downloading From iTunes · · Score: 1

    Actually MyTunes _does_ do a blanket file copy without regard to file type.

  7. Official bittorrent provided on Windows Program Enables MP3 Downloading From iTunes · · Score: 2, Informative

    An official bittorrent file of MyTunes can be downloaded here:

  8. website is a little tight on Angry Pixels Devteam Formed · · Score: 1

    I hope one of the first things the designers do is to get rid of the "topmargin=0 leftmargin=0" html on http://www.angry-pixels.com/.

    And what's with the green text?

  9. Re:In typical /. fashion on Understanding Moore's Law · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    you mean like me and your mom?

  10. why just the geeks? on Understanding Moore's Law · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I think journalists, and not just geeks, should read this. Let's just hope the journalist doesn't get smaller and smaller and smaller...nevermind.

  11. CGI != c code on Web Programming by printf() · · Score: 1

    It seems like the author thinks the majority of CGI apps are written in C.

    ...when the complexity of the response grows, the C programmer is forced to emit complex blocks of HTML from C code... Requiring that the interface be generated by C code also removes the possibility of replacing or updating the web interface in the field without replacing the entire binary image of the server
    On cgi.resourceindex.com, there are 2933 Perl scripts and 165 C and C++ scripts combined.

    This would seem to disprove his point that the "binary image" on the server must be replaced every time one wants to edit the html...
  12. Re:Damn bastards on Larry Page: Google Was an Accident · · Score: 2, Funny

    yeah, alimony's a real bitch, aint it?

  13. Re:What the article is actually about... on The Platypus: Good For You · · Score: 2, Funny

    But hey, that would've required actually reading the article before posting it. :-P

  14. WHAT? on Do-Not-Email Registries? · · Score: 1

    So you give the spammer a huge list of do-not-email addresses? Wouldn't that be exactly what they want? Fresh emails? I'm already trying to keep my email address offline, I don't need it in a nationally readable list. Thanks, but no thanks

  16. Re:virus on Linux In Space: Red Hat Rides The Rocket · · Score: -1, Redundant

    that's very true. ah well.

  17. virus on Linux In Space: Red Hat Rides The Rocket · · Score: -1, Funny

    So was the Challenger running Microsoft's SQL Server?

  18. UML on Introduction to User-Mode Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Before someone starts modeling OOP with this tool, they should get a new acronym. Why is it so hard to think of something original?

  19. already working on Linus to Attend Linux.conf.au 2003 · · Score: 1
  20. useless on Turing Test Competition At CalTech · · Score: 1

    "[The competition] is about as productive as promoting biology by offering a prize to the designer of the most convincing silk flower..." - Steven Pinker

    What does this contribute to the field?

  21. Re:microsoft is not a monopoly on Microsoft Ordered to Carry Java · · Score: 1

    I'll give you that, but you seem to be saying that ie, after the Dred Scott decision, I couldn't say that the a slave was a person legally.

    I'm saying the law was interpreted incorrectly, just like in the Dred Scott decision.

  22. Re:microsoft is not a monopoly on Microsoft Ordered to Carry Java · · Score: 1

    Parent: Moderation Totals: Flamebait=1, Total=1. Yeah, I assumed no one around here had balls.

  23. microsoft is not a monopoly on Microsoft Ordered to Carry Java · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Listen to yourselves!

    If Microsoft were a monopoly, you guys wouldn't be able to post to Slashdot using Linux. If Microsoft were a monopoly, apple wouldn't be able to sell OSX. If Microsoft were a monopoly, you wouldn't be able to buy machines without Windows installed.

    A monopoly is defined as "A company or group having exclusive control over a commercial activity."

    Microsoft may control a vast portion of the market, but they're no monopoly. Otherwise, there would be no competition (and therefore no linux).

    I'm sure many a fanatic will mod this down.

  24. if programming is like poetry.... on The Poetry Of Programming · · Score: 1

    ...I think I'm Dr. Seuss.

  25. Re:The real question is... on Microchip Eye Implant Promises To Restore Sight · · Score: 1
