  1. Re:How can we fracture it? on McNealy Answers: No Open Source Java · · Score: 1

    Well, I tried to be funny, hahah...

    I just wanted to say, that Java's Licence is saying exactly what you've written, but in other words (buzz-words, actually).

    There is no big difference between Java and (let's say) Delphi. It's not even so portable, when you try to write commercial software and want do be practical...

    Just another "trendy" rapid aplication development tool.

    Wouldn't it be nicier to write "this software comes with no warranty, use at own risk"? ;)

  3. Re:I'd love one. on Matrix-Style Brain Interface Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    "Bandwidth" would be still a lot better than when using hands, especially if you have bad keyboard.

    I think the machine's power and speed would cause a lot more pain than brain <-> computer connection speed. Imagine coding in a less than a second and then waiting more than 15 for the code to compile. This is already annoying when I use keyboard...

    Actually - keyboard control is enough. Plus some extra control-characters maybe.
    Typing with a speed of a thought makes things easy... And with your own personal GPRS cell phone virtual terminal you could do almost everything - from displaying a map of town with your location onto the inner-side on your sunglasses to chatting with friends without even a single move.

    On the other hand: how is it possible we know about it while Army doesn't have it already? I think the company's info is premature OR the whole thing is already in use for a long time, but hidden from public eyes.

    Just a bit of my conspiracy theories...

  5. Re:Time for better security. on Kernel Exploit Cause Of Debian Compromise · · Score: 1

    Actually, things begin to go bad when we run out of balance. Linux is too popular, so it's facing problems similar to those MS has.

    One of them is that too many people are searching for bugs. This is sad, but in the real world obscurity counts as a security even if it should not. So, in real world you feel safe if no one is looking at you.

    I guess some talented individuals might find some flaws in *BSD kernels to. Every software has bugs.

    IMVHO it's not that Linux lacks strict security model. It's just the popularity itself that kills Linux.
