  1. What a Managerial perspective ! on Mono and dotGnu: What's the Point? · · Score: 1

    This guys rant is a managers view if I have ever seen one : Mono and dotGNU are interesting projects for people who are interested in computer languages....and exist only with the patronage of Microsoft.

    If he only realized that Mono will be one of the working blocks for GNOME, which will compose the Linux Desktop, a subject he may grasp better than Mono

    Mono comes from the attempts that we have made before in the GNOME project to achieve some of the things .NET does: * APIs that are exposed to multiple languages. * Cross-language integration. * Contract/interface based programming.

  2. It's been done, even with RFID! on Virtual Dummy To Try On Clothes · · Score: 1

    For those who can afford it, it's old news, they even use RFID technology........

    I read it somewhere else, but here are the results from a quick google search At Prada, a dazzling glimpse of retail technology future, it's from October 25, 2002!.

    "Customers can hang clothes they're trying on in one lucite box, and accessories, like shoes in another. An image is captured from their radio-frequency tags and projected on a plasma screen beside the closet in the dressing room. By pushing buttons on the screens, customers can mix and match outfits, and can find out more details about the clothing.

  3. R & D is not in the nature of this industry on Concorde to be Grounded · · Score: 1

    With in industry with headlines like

      • SAS to eliminate 4000 jobs in bid to cut costs by 30 percent
      • Qantas to axe 1000 staff, cut jobs
      • American Airlines CEO talks with employees about labor concession
      • KLM to Cut Jobs as War, Illness Weakens Travel Demand

    I doubt they have any intentions on investing a dime on R & D, for a new supersonic plane

  4. Proxies-NAT-Spoofing & ISP-Corporate Arquitect on Geocoding All Content · · Score: 1

    Knowing the geographical location of someone is practically impossible, from various standpoints

    From a corporate standpoint, they may be using NAT /Proxy to service 300 or 3,000 from a single I.P Address, so a guy in CNN Europe or CNN China, may actually be connecting (via leased line/private) through I.P addresses to CNN's HQ (U.S), that hit may not reflect an actual geographic location.

    For a more literate user, there is always the case of "Spoofing",where he can send a bogus I.P address to the server, again not reflecting an actual geographic location.

  5. Mexican Law is a Joke. on Mexico to Abolish the Public Domain? · · Score: 1

    You have got to be kidding me, I cant believe someone made this PR crap a real posting on Slashdot.

    For starters Mexican Law is all "show" and no enforcement almost a JOKE!, while this may also apply to other countries, it's not like the U.S and Europe were laws are enforced to some degree , and in some cases even to the extreme, like DMCA.

    "Debates in congress have intensified" mmmhhh..YEAH RIGHT!, these guys only intensify when the funding of the coming election is coming up!, they are politicians, and mexican politicans at that!.

    Here my friends it's the law of the "Bandido" especially with the intagible (Intellectual Property) , whilst there are some organizations created by the government for Intelectual Property (IMPI http://www.impi.gob.mx), these are probably an initiative by U.S companies!, in a country were 80% live of the "tangible" resources (oil, land, and the likes), even the laws the protect the people in these areas are tangled, now imagine getting into the realm on Intelectual Property.

    I for one form part of the 20% that live of what I know, do I see someone in the future lining up at the bank and paying me royalties for something that's under my name....YEAH RIGHT!!, probably after some lawyers (like the ones who made the post) take me to the cleaners!.

    This is really some poor stunt to get a gringo audience to this guy's firm, did you see the previous post : Olivares & Cia is a firm that.blalblablabla.

    I guess lawyers are lawyers in every country! DISGUSTING!!
