  1. Re:It's is a SHAM. on U.S. Continues Opposition to Kyoto Environmental Treaty · · Score: 1
    Silly me. I keep hearing all this hubbub about countries like India and China not being held to the same standard as others.
    There is no need to guess things, here is the full and accurate text of kyoto treaty from United Nations site. Please point those sections where it says that there are different standards for india or china.

    you and the neighber who lives next door to you must rake all the leaves ... Noone else in the neighborhood really is required to do anything except complain if you do not comply.
    Kyoto treaty restricts level of pollution on all countries that sign it. In what way does your example in any way compare to that?

    Most of the servers are unix boxes that are connected to internat and many of them don't have firewall. Simply because there are no services that need to be firewalled.

    Windows instead has many "default" services that you can't turn off.

    > $1 million American dollars

    Just curious, why do you think that Russian would define their prizes in American dollars?

  5. Re:Sure on Syllable - The Little OS with a Big Future? · · Score: 1

    I tried to write setup.exe on my command prompt and nothing happened. What's wrong? Where do I define what program I want to install? With my debian it is given after apt-get as parameter.

    Oh.. I actually have to FIND the files on the web before install, (buy and) DOWNLOAD them, UNZIP them and then run the setup.exe?? Fair enough.. So what command do I run if I want to upgrade the program I just installed?

    Really?!? I have to find the site where I downloaded the program (again), find the download page (again) download it (again) unzip it (again) and Install the program with setup.exe (again)?!?

    Sorry, Never again.

    "Businesses other than Microsoft are doing things like this all the time"

    Really?!?

    Please give us some nice, real world references.
    At least I don't remember any examples where "other companies" were funding outside attacks towards competitors with almost 100 million dollars.

    I think you are referring to this little project (contains some nice photos), the substance was however nitrogen, not helium.

  9. legalibility of linux on Cringely's 2004 Predictions · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How could linux be declared illegal, even in the US, the land of strange patent laws? There is no lawsuit that is going to declare linux illegal.

    Also, copyright infringements and legality are two very separate issues, in fact the current case (SCO vs IBM) is not even a copyright lawsuit, it is about SCO alleging that IBM has broken their contract with SCO. It has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with legality of Linux.

    I think the court ruling was preliminary, ie the real verdict is yet to come.

    Windows is not trademarkable

    That was exactly what I thought until I did a trademark search for Windows on finnish patent and trademark offices web service. It seems that Microsoft has been granted a trademark for windows at least here in finland.

    I have no idea if finnish trademarks are EU-wide

  12. Re:About the name on Motion Controlled Smartphone Previewed · · Score: 1

    The word "origo" can be translated to "the center point", it's just a plain mathematical term that is used widely. (I'm finnish and origo doesn't mean a thing in finnish, it doesn't even sound like a finnish word)

    Why are everyone complaining about netcraft surveys based on domain names when every netcraft monthly survey also has statistics for active servers See this months survey for example, especially "total for active servers"
