    There is nothing very good in OSS for POS. I should know i had to implement a POS on freebsd and the solution ended up being me having to write it all.

    fucking look on wiki yourself at famous serial killers, it reads like a discription of this strugeon guy. sexually confused, violent and fantasy's of killing people (assuming he didn't even though told police he killed 8 people, it means at the very least he has a fantasy involving it).

    and before you try setup a strawman argument, no not all cross dressers are killers or even violent. But in some cases where there are other factors involved it is a sign that things aren't right.

    I can't believe you can go to a murder trial with so LITTLE evidence she is dead though. they found some small blood samples in his car and garage.

    those could be explained easily in normal circumstances, even easier with his wifes known affair with a BDSM freak. maybe at some point her and her lover got freaky in the garage before the divorce?

    so we have that and we have a book on famous murder trials. wow really compelling case there, you can't even prove she's dead let alone who killed her.

    There's lots of unstable violent cross dressers - think whats it's like in jails and the like. somehow i think this guy falls into that category, of mental instability.

  8. risky defense on Hans Reiser and the "Geek Defense" Strategy · · Score: 4, Interesting
    it's very risky this type of defense. it might be seen that he's so smart, that maybe he KNEW he could use this kind of defense and planned on hiding out in the open so to speak.

    personally i find it strange they aren't looking closer at the cross dressing lover who has admitted to killing people in the past.

    also there is no body yet, so i don't understand how exactly they are mounting a murder case against him? for all they know this is all staged by his bitter russian bride in an attempt to get back at him, stranger things have happened.

  12. Re:MS just don't get how the GPL works on Groklaw Examines Microsoft's Promises · · Score: 1
    This is something i've considered. the GPL covers the source code but MS could still prevent redhat giving it away or selling it as windows, due to the trademark on the name. simply put, MS could provide sources for discontinued items like XP and allow other people to make rebuilds under the windows name ONLY if they pay a license fee to MS. This would only hurt MS in the event that their lastest windows version isn't worth upgrading to....

    I realise this doesn't prevent people just rebranding their own home brew windows, but how is this worse then all the pirated copies out there now? this would at the very least give MS a home brew community which it could pluck useful idea's from.

  13. MS just don't get how the GPL works on Groklaw Examines Microsoft's Promises · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I don't get how MS is so afraid of the GPL.

    it only requires you provide the source code when you distribute your program. It doesn't mean you have to not charge for software or that software even be free. MS lose nothing if they say distributed win XP with source under the GPL, and it would certainly open up a whole new world of compatability for them that would result in tools that expand their market oppertunities.

    it would at the same time prevent competitors taking that code and distributing a product without making the sources available themselfs, which would allow contribution of said sources into MS's own products.

    there's is a world of difference between killing the competition using cash instead of defeating them on their merits, to simply withdrawing from the race. don't even PRETEND it's the same. for a start if they pulled out it might open a space for a new competitor, instead now we have nothing.
