  1. Not quite... on Making the World's Fastest Kayak · · Score: 1

    Can it do 50mph? Guess not. Then its not as fast as Shaun Baker's jet kayak: http://jetkayak.co.uk/splash.htm (flash website)

  2. Re:zdnet.co.uk on Torvalds Unveils New Linux Control System · · Score: 1

    Hmm, interesting.
    I'd argue that the right to any property is sanctioned and protected by the state - and as such it doesn't make any sense to talk about intellectual property as anything more than that the law protects.

  3. zdnet.co.uk on Torvalds Unveils New Linux Control System · · Score: 5, Informative

    What an awful zdnet article, "But now it seems that some open source developers haven't kept up their end of the bargain. " Tridge wasn't bound the by the license. "Tridgell's decision to reverse-engineering Bitkeeper. The resulting clone would violate BitMover's intellectual property -- something McVoy wasn't going to sit back and watch happen." Again, no, it wouldn't. My understanding is that reverse engineering for interoperability is legally fine. Think of Samba..

  4. Balance on Large Prize Offered For Writing Mac Virus · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Nice balanced submission you got there. As far as I'm aware there is no conclusive evidence that shows Macs are inherently more secure and would not suffer the virus problem that Windows does if it had Windows' market share. Note that a lot of the virus problem comes from users showing bad practice (clicking 'Yes' to install things they really shouldn't, opening attachments they really shouldn't). I wouldn't be suprised if Mac users were on average more savy, and this could contribute.

  5. Slashdotted.. on Advanced System Building Guide · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the should have followed an advanced server building guide....

  6. Re:I don't understand... on Microsoft's Chief Linux Strategist Interviewed · · Score: 2, Informative

    Novell own SuSE.

  7. Re:In advance: To all American French haters. on CeCILL: La Licence Francaise Du Logiciel Libre · · Score: 1
