  2. Re:Baystar on BayStar Interviewed Regarding SCO Investment · · Score: 1
    Those SCO/Linux licenses might just become a collectors piece.

    When SCO loses the case I will rush to buy a licence from them. Of course I'm willing to bargain. Anybody else?

  11. Re:Handys in Germany on Motorola A768 Phone Loaded With Open Source · · Score: 1
    A a fellow German, let me tell you that the term "handy" means nothing to non-Germans.
    No but it's very funny. Germans seem to hate speaking german so much they rather use english words even though they aren't real english words.
  12. Re:GM is good on Genetically Modified Flower Detects Landmines · · Score: 1

    Speaking of which. Are they going to grow these flowers on every piece of land that could hide mines? In many countries that would be almost everywhere. What are they going to do to the weed when all mines are found? Will it be there forever?

  13. Re:Imagine on United Linux Dead · · Score: 1

    John Lennon is dead and The Beatles is dead. Does that count as a cluster?

  14. Difficult to use or? on First Preview of GIMP 2.0 Ready for Testing · · Score: 5, Interesting
    A lot of people say Gimp is difficult to use. Is it difficult for people who are used to Photoshop or is it difficult for everybody?

    I haven't used image manipulation programs and would like to learn the basics. There are courses for Photoshop. Would it help me to take one of them?

  15. Re:What about ads you can only see here? on 10 Ads The US Won't See · · Score: 1
    " but apparently to American eyes it was like hard-core porn :)" Most of the world hardest porn is created in US- what's your point ?
    I also saw this Playboy documentary. They presented this the commercial as hot porn that is shown abroad as a commerical. Then they showed an ordinary body care commercial that you had seen a hundred times during any time of the day on any normal TV here.
  16. Re:cafe software on Wireless APs in Homebrew Coffee Shops? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My mother has a small cafe and she is getting an ADSL line there. Does a solution exist for putting Linux and a browser on a pc so that the guests could surf but not do any harm? Could you start a browser instead of a window manager? Would if be possible to use codes for surfing? You wouldn't want any one person to hog the machine...

  18. Re:GPRS will drive down wi-fi cost on Is WiFi Access Worth $10/hour? · · Score: 1

    Here GPRS was dirt cheap in the beginning and I was almost considering it. Now it's so expensive you can't believe it. Also you pay for MB's.

  19. Re:After a quick R of TFA ... on Is WiFi Access Worth $10/hour? · · Score: 1
    recall also though that gas prices tend to be higher in Europe as an example that infrastructure there does not equal infrastructure here.
    Do you over there even know what environment taxes are? Anyway more than 50% of the price on fuel here is taxes so I don't think infrastructure has much influence on the price.

    Some years ago you weren't allowed to use a CD-player on a plane. Why was that?

    Oh sorry. It was the the choice of OGG or WMA I was thinking of.

  22. Re:Looks good. on iRiver Adds Ogg To Audio Player Firmware · · Score: 1
    One thing to note, though, is that if you encode your Ogg to reasonable quality (500Kbps) this patch isn't going to support you
    Isn't that true about just one of the players?
