  1. Re:We have ways of making you do things. on Ready or Not, Here Comes Service Pack 2 · · Score: 1

    How do you prepare if you use proprietary software and the vendor doesn't issue an update? Will it really help you that you can not use the old nor a non-existant new version?

  2. Re:GPL is not always appropriate for all uses on Sun's Schwartz Attacks GPL · · Score: 1

    With only BSD-style licenses and no GPL-like one we would have most likely broad support from all companies for using open source code from the 10% (compared to now) open source projects and almost no support (like now) for giving back to the open source projects.

  3. Re:Christ Schwartz has some balls on Sun's Schwartz Attacks GPL · · Score: 1

    By 'people' do you mean 'sun employees'?

  4. Re:Too Obvious Answer on No More BitKeeper Linux · · Score: 1

    It is not distributed.

  5. Re:law? on Forty Years of Moore's Law · · Score: 2, Funny

    People are questioning Copyright Law and it is not called theory because of that either.

    GPUs already use massive parallelization.

    It would only be false advertising/trademark related if he sold the same product/service.

  8. Re:Not too surprising on Feds Hack Wireless Network in 3 Minutes · · Score: 1

    As long as possible.

  9. Re:Googleporn... on Google Experiments with Video Blogging · · Score: 1

    I don't think porn/no-porn classification would be too difficult if you just look for a high percentage of skin-tone-colors in the video.

  10. Re:The Internet as a Intellect... on The Baby Bootstrap? · · Score: 1

    It says that sex is the interest the highest percentage of humans shares and that our instinct isn't up to data enough to distinguish between pictures/videos and real persons.

    A much more interesting question would be how we managed to create a society where this fundamental instinct is suppressed so much that talking openly about it is (or was until recently) a taboo.

  11. Re:The Terminator on The Baby Bootstrap? · · Score: 1

    It is a movie reference to the movie "Wargames". After determining at the end of the movie that "The only winning move is not to play." about "Global Thermonuclear War" the computer asks the main character that question.

  12. Re:Ports Tree on Mark Shuttleworth Answers At Length · · Score: 1
    I don't know about BSD but with Gentoo I suppose you could do:

    find -name \*ebuild /usr/portage | xargs emerge --fetchonly
    and backup /usr/portage/distfiles after it finished. That way you should have all packages needed to install anything currently in the portage tree (except for packages with fetch-restrictions due to license problems or installed from a game CD or something similar).
  13. Re:Ubuntu target is...? on Mark Shuttleworth Answers At Length · · Score: 1

    At least I won't find glassmakers when I search for Ubuntu in google.

  14. Re:Formula for failure.. on Mark Shuttleworth Answers At Length · · Score: 1
    You are not going to find an operating system, and certainly not a distro, which isn't going to try to be everything for everyone.
    Thats bullshit. Lots of distros are specifically designed to e.g. rescue lost data (livecd), run as headless server, dsl router, ...
  15. Re:Wait..... on Ruby On Rails Showdown with Java Spring/Hibernate · · Score: 1
    It is constantly optimizing its own code on the fly
    Java is using genetic algorithms for the VM and JIT Compiler Code?
  16. Re:I call bull on Open Source Licensing - Cuts Both Ways? · · Score: 1

    You don't have to be Anti-MS to say you won't use anything that uses/is available on just one platform.

    Or even better: Design your code with OS-independent libs.

    Are you talking about China or the U.S.?

  19. Re:Advantages? on Python Moving into the Enterprise · · Score: 1
    The Python example seemed to be doing the execution part outside of any class, in some non-object oriented fashion.
    If you think Java embedding the main program into a class is object oriented you should relearn what object oriented really means.
  20. Re:Jython? on Python Moving into the Enterprise · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Since the Java Standard Library is output of Java programmers programming Java IS painful.

  21. Re:What I would Do on Online Business Model for a Band? · · Score: 1

    If you want to take the honest approach it might be useful if you provide a log for your fans with detailed information how you spend your (music-related) time and what costs are involved. If they see exactly how much time you spent on your songs you might get more people to pay for them (at least in the beginning when your profit/hour is low).

  22. Re:Viral Marketing? on Online Business Model for a Band? · · Score: 1

    Even if you get 100000 people to download your songs via p2p, few of them will live in your area to visit live-events. If you form a fanbase through the internet you have to provide events for all of them, not for the 0.000001% living near you.

  23. Re:Perception on Online Business Model for a Band? · · Score: 1

    I've got news for you: Talent exists in all areas. You can be a talented musician, sys-admin, executive, politician, nurse,...

    There are just areas where you have only talent and others where your skill is the combination of training and talent. This does not mean talent-only professions should earn more than talent+training-professions.

    I believe this is one of the best posts I ever read on /.

    I don't think they measure electron mass directly. They probably take a large number of electrons and divide by the number.
