  1. Enjoying this, but... on Descent Into Linux (Part Two) · · Score: 1

    Yes, I agree. Your spelling was atrocious. Proofraeding is not that dificult.

    Yes, but as your comment demonstrates, you really need someone else to do it for you.

  2. ...who do you think owns the SA now? on Corel trades NetWinder division for stake in HCC · · Score: 1

    Acorn invented the ARM (originally Acorn Risc Machine). Then DEC got it. Then Intel got the ARM from DEC. Intel is now talking about its plans for SA2xx.

    See http://www.arm.com/Partners/Intel/. Seems that Intel has StrongARM, but not ARM, as you wrote. That page seems to describe StrongARM as something ARM Ltd licenses to Intel.

  3. ARRGHGHGGHGHGH! on How is DivX Doing · · Score: 1

    >>"Obsolete" is an adjective, not a verb.

    >Any noun can be verbed.

    "Verbing weirds language." (Where's that from?)

  4. $150 mil: An under-the-table deal? on QuickTime 4 Streaming Server to be Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Weren't there rumors swirling around on /. (and elsewhere) not too long ago that the $150 mil stock thing was a secret resolution to Apple's lawsuit against Micro$oft asserting that M$ had stolen Quicktime code and deliberately fucked w/ Windows 95 so Quicktime wouldn't work?

    There was nothing "under the table" about it. Settlement of outstanding lawsuits was mentioned in the news at the time.
