  1. MOD PARENT UP! on Public Standards: C# 2, Java 0 · · Score: -1

  2. Re:Lots of reasons why I want .NET to fail on Public Standards: C# 2, Java 0 · · Score: -1

    is it fair to hate a potentially beneficial government action just because you hate the government?

    surely it is a good idea to question that government's (or the company Microsoft's) motives?

  3. path to loss on Ghostscript Leaves GNU · · Score: 0, Troll

    load your filesharing app kazalite, limewire, bearshare whatever and search for the file:

    AllDocsSubscription.zip
    or JBoss303AllDocsSubscription.zip

    the version floating around is 3.03 so slightly out-of-date but its is good enough.

    jboss.org would like to charge you $120 for reading the manual (not in the fsf spirit at all)

    profit -> loss

    next thing marc flowery will be campaigning for the DMCA :^)

  4. oh the irony (yo know what irony is yes?) on Spirited Away Set for 800 Theatre Rerelease · · Score: 0, Troll

    Here in England (Britain, Europe) home of the language 'english' you are wrong!

    here is the definition from my Griffin Savers Dictionary (there is no higher authority IMO):

    "disinterested adj. 1. unbiased, not influenced by self-interest 2. uninterested, uncaring .... "

    ...it does offer a caveat but i'm disinterested in that.

    if anyone else has a savers dictionary they can tie this up :^)

  10. stop moaning! just do it! on Legalities of a Company Sponsored MP3 Repository? · · Score: -1, Troll

    you shouldn't let yourself be frightened like this. just do it, put the music on your central server and let everyone enjoy it. odds are no-one is gonna come after you - sheesh if they do just apologise take the service away and find an alternative way to get music in the office. you'll be a hero in the eyes of your people.

    We use streaming radio in my office of 30 (which is also technically illegal without a licence but its one of laws everybody just breaks)

    if every software company suddenly started aggresively enforcing all their patents then the economy would evaporate. Same thing goes for music copyright :^)

  13. validity on Intel Patents Anti-Overclocking Technology · · Score: 1

    that doesn't look like a valid patent to me. AMD could still implement a similar system using a slightly different technique and should be ok. Besides surely there MUST be prior-art on this shit! :^)

  14. mandrake includes java? on First Mandrake 9.1 Review Out · · Score: 1

    "In the third CD I found "closed" applications included, like Java, Opera, RealPlay 8, AcroRead and more. Java applets work perfectly on Mozilla...."

    something i've noticed lately is a couple of distros are including java by default, it was on the last knoppix cd, and i got the 1.4.1 blackdown version from unstable last time i apt-upgraded debian woody (so maybe its gonna be in sid). I think i read somewhere redhat are going to default include suns java in the upcoming 9 (but perhaps not in the free personal edition)...

    anyway my question is what has changed? It used to be that suns java wasn't distributed with linux because suns licensing restrictions forbode it. Is this the sactioned open source blackdown project version (with presumably looser distribution liscence) or are sun turning a blind eye these days?

    frankly i'm surprised theres enough demand for java on linux for it to be included in these bandwidth constrained iso downloads.

    the only time i use java is to play my favourite motorcycle game applet

    plus: whats up with making KDE the default desktop :^)

    i can get Jwigits to work in Konqueror with alised italic fonts because i am the master of configuring desktops

  16. Re:surprise? on MS Withdraws From WC3 Web Services Working Group · · Score: 1, Troll

    you're wrong Microsoft are increasingly committed to standards. Office 2003 will save to XML, the evolution of webservices and most importantly Microsoft proved with the CLI and the C# language that it was possible to create a powerful foundation for many languages to inter-operate. We will always have that. Even if changes happened in the platform which were undocumented, the existing platform would a value on its own.

  17. good to see on RADON Open Source Interactive Television Framework · · Score: 2, Informative

    thats a pretty impressive open source project. although in the long run i think instead of using COM you would be better off using .NET. At least you are not currently using closed standards for TV application delivery like Europe has mandated - which my Coleagues and i have campaigned hard to prevent.

    limewire is great for finding books to download. You can automatically filter for documents (ps,pdf,doc...) although i find alot of the best computer related books are in zip format. I got a huge zip file (50MB) downloaded ages ago that basically was the whole o'reilly series on java.

    right now i'm sharing a giant zip file called AllDocsSubscription.zip which is the full documentation (up to 3.03) for the open source jboss project and would normaly cost a pretty penny. also available here
