    No, it means that the cat was running backwards to him.

    And why don't you tell 'm about the Old Market Square of Leuven? It has over 50 bars.

    I hope so, and if not, you can go to Leuven. That's the city where interbrew brews Stella Artois. If you take the guided tour in their museum, you'll get to beers for free.

    It looks to be very easy in use.

    To be more precise, since you own the copyright to the work, you can license it under GPL for the great public, and at the same time, grant a commercial license with completely different conditions to someone who is willing to pay for it, and can not accept the conditions of GPL.

    Isn't this exactly what MySQL does?

  8. Re:they sort of exist on Online Repository for Hardware Configurations? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think it is this site. It has a fast search engine so it's only a matter of seconds to check if something is supported.

    For the GNU/Linux version you need this link.

    That's right, things are getting easier all the time. Web services is a good example of this.

    "You're suffering from anti-Microsoftism."
    Stupid remark. I wish Apple invented the technology, then you could tell me that I'm suffering from anti-Appleism. You really don't know if I'm pro or contra MS when talking about one little detail of the whole corporation. These guys also have made an operating system and an office suite and a lot of other things.

  13. Re:Used it already on San Mehat On Web Services & .Net · · Score: 1

    I used the Google-webservice to put search-functionality on a large website. Of course, people could only search on the website itself. Before I did it like this, someone wrote a parser for the results. Oh, and it's written in Perl.
    So at least I think I know what web services are and where they are already being used.
    If you send me a private message, I'll give you my account number so you can transfer me your salary, but I guess you, Anonymous Coward, are not going to do that.

    You're right.

    Web services is just supposed to be easier, and nothing more. There is no extra functionality or whatsoever. But my point is that Microsoft and others are just blowing it up.

    Last time I saw such a guy from Microsoft that gave a presentation about the new technology and it was like web-services were going to change our way of booking flight tickets combined hotel rooms and a rent-a-car, ... And it's just a technology that simplifies the interconnection between companies services. Programmers will still need to make the connection between different companies.

    I've used some existing webservices on the net for some time now, and it's not that special.
    Microsoft pushes it all a little bit too much. It's really not worth it.

    Well, that's not what the big ISP's in Belgium were thinking when they limitted their costumers to only 10GB/month.

    And you can't really move from ISP to ISP if they all start limitting the bandwidth.

    No, I don't think so. I still have to read the documentation but afaik it's the kernel that does the memory management and not the GNU-tools.

    That's great news. Now it seems that I don't have to move to Gentoo to get some very recent packages.

    Not everybody who reads /. is used to speak and write English all the time. Although they try to write in English. You should give them a chance. And I'm sure you understand the message what they try to say.

    ... a tool to download very big files like iso's. The other case where it really is useful is when links to large files are posted on slashdot. In that case it's already useful for files over a couple of mb.

  25. Re:Seriously... on Symantec CTO on Flash Attacks · · Score: 1

    I think this idea is even possible with only javascript or another scripting language. So without using a flash-file for loading links. And if you combine that technique with popping up lots of windows, people will be DOSsing servers without the possibility to do anything about it. (Except for closing every window by hand, but that can take a long time.)
