  1. Re:Hang on....Gentoo? on Turn Your New Opteron Into A One-Game Console · · Score: 1

    um, yes you are correct that Gentoo Games did make an America's Army live CD, but just as you stated, that was for x86 systems. This is for the Opteron.

  2. Re:Stock? on SCO Derides GPL, Will Revoke SGI's UNIX License · · Score: 5, Interesting

    A friend of mine is a broker, and she has been trying to sell SCO short for several weeks, but all the investors have it tied up so that no one can sell the stocks short. Sad, actually. It'd be a good way to make some quick cash.

  3. Re:That byline 'speaker-for-the-dumb'... on Orson Scott Card on mp3 File Sharing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Orson Scott Card is a well known author the the Ender's Game series which includes the book Speaker for the Dead hence the Speaker-for-the-Dumb instead of Dead. He's an incredible author, and along with half of the ./ crowd i'd encourage you to read his works.

  4. Re:Sep 9th: SCO CEO Posts Open Letter to OS commun on SCO Run-Time Licenses: Get 'em While They're Hot! · · Score: 1

    I just don't understand this. Caldera OpenLinux was released with the Linux 2.4 kernel. This was obviously released under the GPL which would state that Caldera then gave away all of its rights it had to the users. I find it interesting that SCO is completely ignoring this fact. Essentially, anyone who has ever used Caldera OpenLinux could just as easily demand that SCO pay them money for the licenses, since they possess the same rights to the code in the 2.4 kernel as SCO does. Drives me crazy.

  5. What is this for? on Linux Distro For Linksys WRT54G · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm really not trying to be a troll, this is a serious question. What does making an access point into linux box atually do? Will it still retain all of its normal functions? Will this increase its functionality in any way? Being able to telnet into something as root automatically doesn't seem the safest thing to do for whatever this is, either.

  6. Re:wetware comparison on Facial Recognition Fails in Boston, Too · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've only had a breeze over the subject in one of my courses, but it astonished me. Our professor told is a story of a girl who head a head injury and actually lost the part or her brain that did the facial recognition processing. The description she gave was that of people looking normal from the neck down, but their faces were blurred almost like what they do to censor people in TV.

    The facial recognition part of the brain is also very responsible for driving emotions. You show a picture of Hitler to someone, and they automatically become angry. You show a pretty girl, and they become more happy. A fascinating subject, its no wonder the cameras failed.
