    GNOME 2.8 is going to be a really great release.

    last time i tried gnome it was bloated, why not go for something different and do windowmaker?
    also, try konqueror for webbrowsing (if you haven't already)... it's fast

    precisely. there are people in place whose job it is to make sure the things mentioned in the article don't happen. do you walk around with barcode stickers designed to lower prices?
    rfid is just an easier way to inventory, and it would be nice if the metal detectors on the door to the outside (sp?) of the store would also wipe the info from rfid tags

  15. Sure you go ahead and copy this post. on Parody or Satire? Threat To Sue JibJab · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Even if it's not a license, it might be grounds for estoppel. It layman's terms, that means if you allow something and waive your write to sue at one point in time, you can't later "change your mind" for the same thing for the same person. Since this was directed to ANYONE, allowing them to use the music with an implied promise that no legal action would be taken, the copyright holder now may not be able to take action because of the principle of estoppel. It's not quite the same as a license, but it's close. It's because of estoppel that I can't tell you, "sure you go ahead and copy this post" and then sue you for copyright infringement if you do.

    Of course, IANAL.

    Sure you go ahead and copy this post.

  21. Re:It is likely a phishing attack on Latest MyDoom Variant Gives Google Problems · · Score: 1

    I think it is time to admit defeat with the anti-virus scanning software. We should simply block all executable attachments and zip files containing executable code. Fortunately most encrypted zip file formats do not encrypt the manifest so encrypted files can be blocked.

    yes, but then they'll just link to the website with "screensaver" downloads...
    like they say, there is no patch for human stupidity.

    and you know what? i like being able to send and recieve zip files and executables.
