  1. Re:unspecified business reasons eh... on No Anti-Virus in Vista · · Score: 1

    In short, yes. Though there are also other reasons likely, like anti-competition issues they had with mediaplayer.

  2. So first virus in? on No Anti-Virus in Vista · · Score: 1, Funny

    So I am wondering... how many seconds after Vista launch until we have first virus for it?

    Well:

    Cola Cola:
    Market Cap: 99.85B and P/E: 19.36
    Google:
    Market Cap: 128.12B and P/E : 96.03
    Nokia:
    Market Cap: 77.48B and P/E : 17.36
    GEN ELECTRIC CO:
    Market Cap: 348.16B and P/E : 21.38
    Thus for Google to earn the current market value they would take 96 years, wheas for Coca Cola it would take 19 years, Nokia 17 years and GE 21 years.

    See a trend?

  4. Re:Well, it IS a bubble. on The New Boom · · Score: 1

    Ofcourse it will go up, as long as the bubble lasts. if you look at the income and divide by market value you get a quite low revenue for each share and compare it to other companies that are not part of the bubble to see what are normal things. (My try at simplifying the explanation)

  5. Re:name? on Massively Multiplayer Games For Dummies · · Score: 1

    Indeed.. as dumbed down the MMORPGs are.. still astonishes me how much trouble people have with advanced concepts like speaking.

  6. Anybody know of balanced reviews? on More NavelGazing About Game Journalism · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seems to me that the average score for games revieved is 80%+, and given that most new games are pure trash, I was wondering if anyone knew of a games revies site that had the actual reviews and scores at about 50% or less?

  7. Well, it IS a bubble. on The New Boom · · Score: 2, Informative

    Regardless of how much firmer the the base is this time, the earnings and earnings prospects are both so very low compared to stock value. So at some point in future there WILL be a correction.

  8. Re:4 kinds of information on Slashback: Google, Surveillance, Stardust · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Well US is on fine list with China on many things, including human rights abuses and executing people, so why not on this too?

  9. Re:Blah Blah Blah on Not Every Game is a Sequel · · Score: 1

    Yes, but some take the old concept and try to fix what is broken and keep what is good. That type of thing makes a game usually much more playable and thus more enjoyable.

    Many content creators are reasonable and have reasonable rules for their content, others are not.

    The real problem comes from the fact that the "bad cases" make so much more noise than others, thus such ideas as yours come common.

  11. Re:DRM on Debian Team Discusses GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    Good point, as Linux Kernel is licenced as GPL version 2 only.

  12. Re:Excellent on Debian Team Discusses GPLv3 · · Score: 2, Informative

    The difference between Debian and other distributions is mainly in the "Fanatism" of sticking to the noble ideas. I have not followed Gentoo that much, but in general all other distros make choises that are "for good of the user" and include things that Debian rejects, but that make things easier for the user.

  13. Re:I don't like the GPL v3 draft on Debian Team Discusses GPLv3 · · Score: 1
    Indeed, that restriction seemed to be the biggest possible problem that Debian people might have with the new version.

    I am myself of two minds about this and the thing that was not included as standard.. patent retaliation.

    Both of them have good and noble goals and might be needed in the current business climate, but they leave a bit sour taste in mouth.

    I did read it.. :)

    The point I was trying to make is not about this article "extremism" but in general the most common use of the word, as in "Extremism=Anything that the establishment does not like, however legal or good"

  15. Re:Good! If Debian likes it... on Debian Team Discusses GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    Well, you have to rememeber that as new versions of various programs change to version 3 of GPL, people/organisations that want to use the new versions will then have to use "Version 3 or later".

    P.S. What's so "extreme" about a consistent view on civil liberties?

    It is "extreme" because big corporations do not like it.

  17. Re:Is this a good thing? on Debian Team Discusses GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    It is good thing to get imput from as many as possible views for something as important as GPL. The previous version has made a big difference in many things, so I expect the next version will make too.

  18. DRM on Debian Team Discusses GPLv3 · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Indeed I expect that the DRM part will be the big "Real kicker" specially when Linux kernel and other key software go to GPL3.

    Will be interesting to see how the fight of freedoms vs. DRM goes.

    ... as in any other crime.

    The pressure to get people's money and get graduates out the door really means that any college that causes someone to drop out looses thus money.

    So ofcourse they try to make everyone pass.. nevermind the things they are supposed to be teaching.

    Heh.. so change the fortunes.. McAfee were known as the bad guys a long time.

    But yes.. uninstalling Symantec anti-virus is a good first step for making a Windows PC work reasonably fast and stable. The ammount of troubles through years with anti-virus products has likely been more then viruses themselves, and Symantec definitely tops the list today in unusability.
