  1. Re:Um, this is a decent patent on Microsoft, Apple Sued Over Software Update Patent · · Score: 1

    My thought is that we could better kill the whole patheti^H^H^H^Hent system.

  2. Does anybody think of the chi^Wplants? on Using Plants as Speakers · · Score: 1

    Does this require dead plants, or it works in the alive ones? If the second case is true, does this harm the plant? or stimutates its growth or is indiferent?

    Why are the articles so short in details?

  3. Re:One hour interval? on When RSS Traffic Looks Like a DDoS · · Score: 1

    At first i didn't understood the article...
    You mean RSS readers are programmed to fetch the feed at hour xx:00??

    That's fantastic

    Some programmers should be shot...

  4. Re:Can't happen on PHP Not Moving To The GPL · · Score: 1

    Well... all the contributors of Linux must be listed somewhere (lkml archives, "CONTRIBUTORS" file, bk logs?)
    So in case a newer version of the GPL was released AND a big majority of them (in code size) agreed in changing it... couldn't they remove/replace the code not contributed by them and move on with the new license?
    That would be an _extremely_ hard task but not totally impossible, no?

  5. Re:No to GPL on PHP Not Moving To The GPL · · Score: 1

    I'll take the BSD license anytime. Code migrates from BSD to Linux (but not Linux to BSD) because of GPL.

    BSD code migrates from open to closed source too
    GPL code stays open source always.

    Do you want private enterprises profiting from you for free, or do you prefer them contributing back for the public good?

  6. What about the rest of the world? on Computer Gaming PCs Try To Stack Up To Consoles · · Score: 1

    If PC gaming is going to survive it's going to have to do so in the well-lit family rooms and dens of America

    So what does PC gaming needs to survive in the other continents? and what about ... in Japan?

  7. Re:Woulda Coulda Shoulda on Violent Video Game Law Struck Down · · Score: 1

    In fact pot could even be beneficial for your vision, there's a recent study of some university (U of Granada) in the north of morocco. The fishermans there (habitual pot smokers) seem to have better night vision after smoking a mix of hemp and tobacco called "kif"
    More details here

  8. Re:... In Japan on Red Hat Vs. The Lawyers · · Score: -1, Troll

    Are we seeing the birth of a new /. cliche here ... in Japan?

  9. Fun in the school on Japanese Schoolchildren to be Tagged with RFID · · Score: 3, Informative

    1. Copy the RFID tag of a classmate
    2. Change it for yours when you're out of school.
    3. Enter the max. number of shops/places considered "dangerous" for you in one day.
    4. Restore your RFID before going home.
    5. Make fun of the poor bastard the next day of class

    No profit but lots of fun

  11. Re:Erm on Entropy Project Closes Up Shop · · Score: 1

    errata:
    about dynamic pages: between "some" and "calling" a SCRIPT tag is missing...

  12. Re:Erm on Entropy Project Closes Up Shop · · Score: 1

    In a webpage search engine you send a description of the content you're searching for to a server, this server now knows what you were searching for.

    In a p2p network search you send your search to your peers, but, in Freenet's case the peers only index the contents by key number (or whatever it's called), not for description of the contents.

    A spider basically follows all the links it can find and sorts them according to some meta-data every page has (title, description...)

    Also, dynamic webpages aren't allowed (danger of some calling home etc...)

    *just now reads new message just posted in reply to mine*

    Or at least thats' how it worked the last time i used Freenet! :P will have to check back to see what they're working on

  13. Re:Erm on Entropy Project Closes Up Shop · · Score: 1

    don't you see that a search engine would inherently destroy privacy? at least in the current way Freenet is implemented...

    if you have an idea for a search-engine in a (still) anonymous network you're free to submit it.

    For now spider-generated indexes will have to suffice.

  14. Re:Free software vs. proprietary equivalents on P2P Networks Blamed For Software Losses Doubling · · Score: 1

    Pronto! someone! make a GIMP skin for PS people so they don't get lost and need near_zero training

    I'll opt for the unobtanium version, thank you.

  17. Putting / in a RAID-0 on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 1

    Yes, some years ago i decided to install my home desktop into a software RAID-0(stripeset), harddisks were slow and my data useless ya know...
    It lasted until some months ago, when one of the drives went *clack*clack*clack*.
    Fortunately it only did that on write operations, so i could read the contents perfectly, but since i'm a cheapstake i tried to "mark" the badblocks...
    After a few unsuccesful badblocks attempts the stripeset stopped being recognized by the kernel (don't ask me why)
    And since the last time i messed with RAID stuff was a looong time ago, i panicked...
    couldn't find a fix until the next day...

    The day i found raid0run in the rescue CD and backed up all the data promptly.

  18. How do you spell Hypocrisy? on Endangered Countries On The Internet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    For these who cant RTFA: Of course, not only "Wild East" countries like Russia and Israel exceed little Macedonia in terms of online criminal output. It would be utter hypocrisy to ignore the vast internet fraud industry in the United States itself.

    In conclusion, if you must blacklist a country, you should start for these 3.

    Didn't knew they had some religious war there too... *sigh* religions good for nothing *cough*

  22. Re:Used for "saving lives"? on New Radar Sees Through Walls · · Score: 1

    Exactly, you don't see old guys in wheelchairs rolling down the streets firing their Kalashnikov murdering people.

    The Yassin's kind of people must end like Milosevic, facing a tribunal as an example for new dictator/jihad_leader-wannabes, not serving as martyrs for a new breed of terrorists.
