  1. Re:Whats with? on Inside the Xbox 360 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think you just displayed some fanboyism...why is it so *cool* to bash nintendo these days? The gamecube is still a helluva lotta fun. Oh, GTA is nice, as is Halo, but Super Smash Bros. Melee is like crack with a couple friends around. start playing at 2pm, suddenly it's 2am and you haven't started that effing term paper....
    of course FF:(really big number) did that to me too.

    when the gaming gets good, my grades suffer.

    one solution that I have found work rather well is to use knoppix or similar livecd for the install.

    already happening, a group of friends at my college all use WASTE to share stuff with eachother, it's private and invitation only, and we keep it relatively secure. Only a matter of time before people start catching on.

    go to europe...heck go to canada...look at all the pretty phones...
    come back to the USA...
    and cry

    seriously, the carriers in the US are what is keeping cellphone tech so fricken behind in the United States. We should not have phone lock-in. If Nokia makes phone A but cingular doesn't like a phone A feature (ex. make your own midi or something). Cingular should have to suck it. Instead Cingular forces Nokia to remove feature...
    and thus the consumer loses again

    what arch are you talking about? some patch sets don't do well on other archs... but I have gotten linux to work well on x86, amd64, ppc, and sparc...that's pretty damn good if you ask me (preemptive kernel sometimes will make things more unstable though)

  17. Re:Why? stealing Mozillas thunder or what on New Netscape Browser Prototype Available · · Score: 1
    The MPL has a limited amount of 'copyleft' - more copyleft than the BSD family of licenses, which have no copyleft at all, but less than the LGPL or the GPL. It is based around the definition of a 'Modification' in the license [1.9]. What is a Modification? Any changes to MPLed files, or new files into which MPLed code has been copied, are Modifications and so fall under the MPL. New files containing only your code are not Modifications, and not covered by the MPL. Files which fall under the MPL because they are or contain Modifications must be made available as detailed in the license (or elsewhere in this FAQ.) Other files may be kept proprietary. One well-known example of this is the Netscape-branded browser. It contains (and Netscape makes source code available for) many files from the Mozilla project, which are under the MPL. But it also contains proprietary code, for example to integrate with the AOL Instant Messenger service.
    so they can't modify without releaseing source but they can add their own crap and not release that sounds like a nice compromise

    [AG] It is not rocket science and if one has the know-how, one could tweak their Gentoo, LFS, or even Debian system to be like Yoper. You would probably spend weeks/months doing it, but after this long, possibly frustrating road, you would get something like Yoper. But instead of a week-long struggle, you can have Yoper ready within 10 to 15 minutes,which to many people is more important than a steep, frustrating learning curve. Some of the "secrets" of turning your distro into Your Operating System are:
