  1. Re:If this were Fark on Mozilla Cracks Down On Merchandise Sellers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I fail to see how them protecting their rights is a violation of the OSS tenets.

    Mozilla is trying to prevent the selling of illegal merchandise that takes away from their rightfully, and legitimate business.

    OSS isn't about stealing. It's not about denying people their legal rights.

  2. Re:BIOS = Built-in Operating System on A Motherboard That Doesn't Require An OS · · Score: 0, Redundant

    BIOS = Basic Input/Output System

  3. Unreal on the Ides! on Unreal Tournament 2004 Goes Gold · · Score: 4, Funny

    Enjoy such new features as onslaught, assault...and good old backstabbing.

  4. Re:Article Details on Judge Orders SCO, IBM To Produce Disputed Code · · Score: 1

    Correct. To me, it seems more like this just became more serious. IBM now has to come up with loads of information, show SCO it's internally contributions to Linux and other such things. Seeing SCO's....wonderful history, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they figured out a way to...manipulate the information they will get.

  5. Re: Intel complaining on Intel 64-bit Announcements at IDF · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Never was not exactly referring to a time frame. Rather, I meant that if Intel had continued to develop a 32-Bit processor, the average user wouldn't need the extra advantages of 64-Bit. The average user uses a computer for internet, email, word-processing, and other tasks like that. On such tasks there would be no real benefit of 64-Bit computing for them.

  6. Re: Intel complaining on Intel 64-bit Announcements at IDF · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Maybe they're saying that home users have no need for that "extra memory at a time". To some extent, they are right. THe avergae user will probably look at a 64-Bit computer and go "ooooh, 64-Bit" and see it as a selling point. However, the average user will probably never need the extra memory or power of the 64-Bit.

  7. Bandwidth problem on Free VoIP for Dartmouth Students · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We use VoIP at my work, and it works pretty well. The only problem we have is that sometime the thing just doesn't respond at first. You have to wait and re-try again later.
