  1. Re:Isn't this illegal? on Guerrilla Drive-Ins · · Score: 1

    I hate it when I PAY for an audio cd and it won't run in my car cd player because of 0.01 cent worth copy protection.

  2. Re:So far I have attempted the following: on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    You forgot to take two things into consideration (actually you did slightly mention my second point): you can badly burn your skin if you touch two wires with two different fingers of the same hand. The reason is because there is less skin/distance which means less resistance which means more Amps. You can also badly hurt yourself if you get in contact with a charged capacitor (because you can get a few hundred or even thousands Volt shock). So make sure you know what you are doing, or else...

  3. Re:Why? on Skype 1.0 For Windows Released, Updated Linux Beta · · Score: 1

    I think it connects to a peer and asks it to forwards connections to you (kind of port forwarding) in the case where you are behind a firewall/router and aren't able to open a port.

    two times better every 2 years ?

  6. can't they outsouce to india ? on Design Wanted For Antarctic Base · · Score: 2, Funny

    Seriously, there is snow in northern india.

    A beowulf of igloos ;)

  8. Re:A New Low on DoJ - Making Data Public Would 'Crash System' · · Score: 1

    Well let's see, should I donate by taxes to debian or gentoo developers... How about SCO, they are non-profit, right ?

  9. Re:I agree. on Big Bang of Convergence · · Score: 3, Funny
  10. Re:Professional quality level software on Making Things Easy Is Hard · · Score: 1

    regedit on macintosh did something like this. You defined a template and it generated a basic UI to edit the config. This kind of stuff is easy to do if everybody uses a standard config format (eg xml) and takes the time to write down all the possibilities (eg writing a dtd).

  11. Re:What's wrong with Firefox? on Firefox Extension Lets You Pick the Name · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have tried to get so many friends to switch over to firefox, and their first reactions were:
    1) mozilla ? Their old browsers sucked.
    2) firefox ? It sounds like a firewall software.

    anyways, after taking the time to explain them what firefox really is, they were all convinced.

  12. Re:Most Dangerous Intersections on NYC Crosswalk Buttons are Inoperative · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In Switzerland, pedestrian's have the right of way ;)

  13. Re:Hmmmm... on Microsoft's Search Engine Plans · · Score: 1

    I'm using win 3.1, so I don't have folders.

  14. really silly on The Internet by Motorbike · · Score: 1

    talk about pollution ! If the email can be transported by motor bike, then the distances musn't be much, how much would a simple cable connecting the different villages cost ? People should help/invest in getting them a proper infrastructure (electricity, phones, simple internet terminals). Now that people are switching to flat screens, I'm sure old computer hardware can be useful to such countries.

  15. A while ago... on Mice In Space · · Score: 1
  16. Re:How do they know the GPL is being violated? on Embedded Device Manufacturers Ignoring GPL · · Score: 1

    However, even if you're just porting your existing drivers, it's not really clear that Linus Torvalds' opinion on this matter is even relevant. If *all* of the kernel copyright holders agree with him, then you're probably safe, but there's a good chance that a contributor who disagrees can come after you anyway, particularly if your code touches his.

    How can your code touche his when you are writing an external driver ?

    Alok.
