  1. Re:Not such a great idea on SFLC Sues 14 Companies For BusyBox GPL Violations · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you don't agree with the license, don't use GPL'd software.

  2. Re:WDTV on SFLC Sues 14 Companies For BusyBox GPL Violations · · Score: 2, Informative

    Western Digital Techonologies Inc. is listed as one of the defendants.

    Should have written "and/or" instead of "and".

    Disinfectants do have glycerine so it is not *that* bad. But yes, plasma would be nicer.

    Gloves don't give 100% protection, that's why it is extremely important to use disinfectant between glove changes.

    Sorry, a non-english speaker here- On a normal day I wash and disinfect my hands about sixty times.

    I seriously doubt that nurse over where ever you live "pretend" to wash their hands. Proper hand hygiene is among the first things nurses learn at least in my country it is.

  9. Re:as a nurse, you should know better on Plasma Device Kills Bacteria On Skin In Seconds · · Score: 2

    This would mean using less disinfectant, the alcohol dries my hands.

    As a nurse I would welcome this as I have to wash and disinfect my hands several times a day.

  11. Re:restrictions on Google Releases Source To Chromium OS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I watched the webcast and they (Google dudes) were actually encouraging forking and
    gave some Chrome fork as an example.

    I've been following the progress of a Finnish electric car project:

  13. Re:I'd never do it, but on Moving Away From the IT Field? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I changed from IT to nursing and haven't regretted the switch. And yes,
    the job does include poop cleaning (and really nasty stuff especially
    if you specialize to become a paramedic) but you get used to anything.

    Why would one become a nurse? If you like interacting with people and
    are prepared to help them when they *really* need help then the job
    might be what you are looking for.

  16. Re:Yeah, right. on Michael Dell Says Windows 7 Will Make You Love PCs · · Score: 1

    I quote myself: "6 year old PC running a Northwood Pentium IV a new lease on life". Vista was released on 2007.

  17. Re:Yeah, right. on Michael Dell Says Windows 7 Will Make You Love PCs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The main difference between Vista and Windows 7 is that Windows 7 runs great on older systems, even better than XP.

    I have a friend who is handicapped and partially paralyzed and to her usability is the key when using computers. Also she doesn't have that much money as she cannot work. Windows 7 gave her 6 year old PC running a Northwood Pentium IV a new lease on life, all the hardware properly detected.

  18. Hybrid Crossfire? on Promised Platform-Independent GPU Tech Is Getting Real · · Score: 1

    Would this technology enable me to use the onboard IGP (Radeon HD3300) which
    is now doing absolutely nothing as I am using a separate Radeon HD3850.

    Looks like it is using same kernel as Zinwell's STB's and they have been more
    than unhelpful with people asking them to comply with GPL.

    I've seen this same happening with a lot of different STB's and I really do not understand why none of the manufacturers base their products on *BSD kernels.
