  1. missing a step on Your Future Car's Hood Will Be Welded Shut · · Score: 3, Insightful

    so, did the women who designed it think that something under the hood would never break or that the car is disposable? Were the women who designed this some high maintaince women whos daddys/husbands buy them everything?

    If it breaks under the hood how do you fix it????????????

    They should not filter the porn. Porn is like food. They need it to survive.

  3. Re:Prior law might defeat this in court on Do You Have A License For Those Facts? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just because there is precidence doesn't mean that teh courts will follow it. There are many times when they don't follow precidence, they just do what they "intrepret". And there are so many laws now they can "intrepret" things in a lot of different ways.

    I know what this is. Lawyers figure they need to make more money off of nothing. They are pushing to find new ways for lawsuits. Isn't most of congress lawyers anyway. They are trying to take over the world one lawsuit at a time.

    I can see it now. An office with 2 lines. The first to file you copyright and the second to file a lawsuit against someone for violating your new copyright.

  6. OS on Xeon vs. Opteron Performance Benchmarks · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So I see that M$ Windows was used as the OS. Unless this was a prerelease of the 64bit XP then they were running a 32bit OS on the chips. So, wouldn't that mean that this isn't a true test of the power?? Your not taking full advantage of the 64bit power.

    This would not be a monopoly but a cartel.

    So, they put together a cartel to do some racketeering. Sounds illegal to me.

    Is this a shrinks delight??? A campus full of people hearing voices.

  10. DVD?? on FreeBSD Based Live CDs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    With so many of us having dvd drives, I wonder why there isn't a dvd version?? You could fit so many more of the ports on there to be tried.

    QA is like the ass end of the work. No one wants to deal with what comes out and no one want's to really look at their own.

  13. Re:This is EXACTLY what open source needs! on Announcing the KDE Quality Team Project · · Score: 5, Insightful

    QA is also something the US government requires for many things. Especially the military. If there is a good QA process in place that can help improve US government acceptance.

    Not to mention, produce a better product for the rest of us.

    Lets be honest here for a moment. Because some group of scientists with a huge ego said so.

    "They stated in quite clear langauge that end users cannot be sued for copyrigth infringement only the authro sof Linux can be sued.."

    I guess this makes sense. If you buy a dvd player and they didn't license the dvd stuff correctly then they sue the manufacturer not the buyer. But, this is the US. Those little laws and precedence don't really mean much here.

  17. Don't kick me but.... on EV1 Servers CEO Responds To Customers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Wouldn't a cheaper solution than buying the licenses have been so switch from linux to freebsd? With the cost of those licenses being so high. Then no fear of law suit. This seems like it could be the more cost effective solution.

    What they did is called CYA.

    Are they one of the top companies that SCO might end up sueing? If so, then it might be cheaper to buy the licenses than to fight a law suit.

  21. East great place to start on Novell Headed To Linux Enterprise Desktop In Asia · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The east is a great place to start. They are embracing technology over there greatly. The newest cell phones and other technology are going on there. Plus the east (including china and india) has 1/3 of the worlds population. Pretty smart place to start.

    The more that an open desktop is embraced the more that open standards are embraced stopping big companies like M$ from having closed standards.

    "...being said by the Harvard Business School and Cardozo Law School...."

    These two schools tend to be on the more liberal side of things and tend to be closer to "long-haired hackers" than a majority of the "ivory tower". What they say doesn't necessairly match what most business believes at all.

    "when [large corp] comes along and just takes your idea to market without giving you a bean"

    That's what a lot of large corps do now if you work for them. If you work for a large auto manufacutrer and design something you'll be lucky if you get a thing for it. While the company and execs make a killing on it. This is not something new.
