  1. Thank you Google and Yahoo! on Google and Yahoo Creating Brain Drain? · · Score: 1

    Now the rest can more easily find a job, and if it's really a "brain drain", look forward to earning more. Some good news.

  2. Re:Apache on OpenBSD 3.6 Song Released · · Score: 2, Informative
    But OpenBSD.org uses it to serve pages.
    AFAIK, only the Apache Licence 2.0 is non-free. That might be why openbsd.org is still using 1.3.27:
    $ telnet www.openbsd.org 80
    Trying 129.128.5.191...

    it is kind of inefficient when a 12W device can route, firewall, run QoS AND be an access point.
    My Soekris can do that too! http://www.soekris.com/
  4. Re:Be careful on VIA Pulls PadLockSL · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    That could turn into a C&D letter to the poster..

    Great! Finally I can respond to those GPL-is-not-proven-in-court trolls!

    > I'm maybe 200 pages into it. Slow going. Not as good as "Crytonomicon".

    Oh, you're still in the interesting part. I'm 220 pages further but reading slashdot is more interesting...

  7. Not released on April 1st on Neal Stephenson's The Confusion Released · · Score: 1

    > Neal Stephenson's 'The Confusion', second volume of his Baroque Cycle is released today.

    Wasn't it planned to be released on April 1st?

    > Delphi: everybody knows it.

    I don't know anybody who knows Delphi. I know Sh, Perl, Java, Python, Haskell, Ruby, O'Caml, C, C++, Io and a bit Lua, but I've never heard of Delphi.

  9. Re:TGZ is a package format on Building A Better Package Manager · · Score: 1

    > RPM bitches and moans if I try to install lynx on a machine that doesn't have X.

    That's the fault of the pkg maintainer, not the pkg sys.

    > Portage wants to download and compile GTK just to install vi.

    Nonsense. Have you ever used portage?
    app-editors/vi doesn't even depend on gtk...

    You probably mean that some package vi depends on depends on gtk. If you don't want that you can still set USE="-gtk -gtk2 -X -gnome".

  10. Re:think before you type on PowerBook Performance for Java Development? · · Score: 1

    > You should use Ant or even Make in your build process. They are clever enough.

    Nonsense. Ant only recompiles files that have been changed.

    If you had A.java with public static Date fooBar(String st) and B.java calling Date xyz = A.fooBar("baz") and then changed A.java to read public static long fooBar(String st), then voila. Ant would only recompile A.java and B would be broken...

    My mobile Athlon XP does 1800 MHz wheter on battery or not... (although powernowd usually clocks it down to 800Mhz if there is little CPU used, even if on AC)
