  1. Re:Why does this not seem right? on TiVo Starts Testing "Pop-up" Ads · · Score: 1

    The moment they insert article obscuring and/or moving ads into newspapers and magazines...

  2. Re:who cares? on Java Fallout: OO.o 2.0 and the FOSS Community · · Score: 1
    From clause 0:
    Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
    If you receive a copy from someone who can distribute it you can use it.
  3. Re:who cares? on Java Fallout: OO.o 2.0 and the FOSS Community · · Score: 1

    As you said GPL only covers use so even if you break the GPL and lose the right to distribute you can still use the software.

  4. Re:Still won't work. on How the Secret Service Cracks Encrypted Evidence · · Score: 1

    You can use more than one word...

  5. Re:As a girl who games... on Girls Got Game · · Score: 1

    People are still making games like Zork. Some of them involve killing, but many do not.

  6. Re:Internet too? on VoIP Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    The hardware could still be working against you. But that all would be a little hard with one time pads, just implent in some minimal custom language (the encryption is simple enought to be easly done on anything), you'd need an AI in your hardware to catch everything.

  7. Re:Internet too? on VoIP Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    You use one time pads and test the compiled binary by decoding a message by hand. Anyway, if he was just asking about crypto backdors why include the network card?

  8. Re:Internet too? on VoIP Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    You don't need to. Encode on a machine not connected to any network. Send with another.

  9. Re:Neat tricks on PSP Reception Lukewarm in US? · · Score: 1

    You twist it to shoot disks: it's the ultimate toy for really powerfull ninjas!

  10. Transparent backgrounds? on Fun With Transparent Screen Backgrounds · · Score: 1

    I was hoping for wallpapers with alpha channel... More Gnome news please!

  11. Re:But.... on Wily Octopi Walk on Two Arms · · Score: 1

    I think they would run from penguins...

  13. Re:xpdf on Adobe Reader 7.0 Coming to Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's a feature...

  14. Re:More importantly... on "English" Not Threatened By Webspeak · · Score: 1

    Text is also easier to reread.

  15. Re:Warning, Spoiler ;) on PSP And DS Duke It Out · · Score: 1

    LAME seems to be doing wonders, at least for the music I listen to on the go (classic from Magnatune). Maybe you should try the latest LAME before slaming my hearing, try to not to fall for the placebo effect.

  16. Re:Menus? on A History of Icons · · Score: 1

    One toolbar with a few carefully selected icons sounds like a good default to me. I think abiword should get rid of the formating bar as it clutters the workspace and makes it easy to do "bad" formating. Also I seem to remember Word 97 having the "Graphics" toolbar by default at the bottom, but I could be mistaken.

  17. Re:Menus? on A History of Icons · · Score: 1

    I haven't used Word in a long time, but I am talking about the first impression (it's full of icons) not menu bar visibility.

  18. Re:Menus? on A History of Icons · · Score: 1

    Have you ever heard of Emacs?

    He is obviously talking about the in-your-face expierence -- the menu bar is small compared to all the default toolbars in MS Word.

  19. Where are the default gnome icons? on A History of Icons · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I find them better than most of the icons included in the article.

  20. Re:religious fundamentalists on Imax Theaters Demur On Controversial Science Films · · Score: 1

    So you hear things and your first though is not 'hallucination'?

    Scientists, like everyone else except for us chatterbots here on Slashdot, are only human.
    Compared to what? Superhumans?
  22. Re:Linux, here we come! on State-Sponsored Solitaire? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Didn't you hear that doing common activities on GNU+Linux requires expensive re-training? They'll just leave 'Solitaire' of the program.

  23. Re:I've already started on VoIP to Fuel Plague of 'Dialing for Dollars'/Spam · · Score: 1

    I've seen spam in Slashdot sigs...

  24. Re:Abandoning Email is Stupid on Donald Knuth On NPR · · Score: 1

    Do you think that Knuth ever had problems getting a big enough email account!?

  25. Re:uhh who cares? on Nero Burning for Linux · · Score: 1

    That's why we have Nautilus: insert a blank CDR, drag files, burn.
