  1. No. I won't stop the presses on Draconian Anti-Piracy Law Looms Over Australia · · Score: 1

    I did not invent that. And the laws are not yet there, but they are _pushing_ to get them. I expect to exist in a moment in future some public debate.

    I mean, who takes time to develop this crap, and not being noticed???

    PS. i'm not australian, but i wouldn't like my grandkids to grow in a such society. Would you?
    PPS. i have no idea who kdawson is in reality, i don't know him.

  4. Re:= 4 Acentral Processing Units on AMD 4x4 Quad Father, Quad Core CPU Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    a 4x4 car does not have the name from the 16 wheels it might have from the name, but the fact that all wheels are active and tracting. Exactly what this processor from AMD is doing: all 4 cores are ... well, working as 1 processor, which distributes the processing among them.

    Try autonomy (autonomy.com). They are actually the market leaders when it comes to enterprise search. Forget about Microsoft or Google.

  8. You mean: commercial email on Pay-per-email and the "Market Myth" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Mind you the original email had nothing commercial in it. It became so, and thus giving birth to spam because some of the companies offered it as a product. The only way out of spam would be creating a kind of VPN of SMTP servers, so that one accepts email only from an "authenticated" SMTP. It's wrongly to solve this problem in a commercial way, because it creates corruption, while the democratic way would be to solve it technically. Maybe an SMPT authority needs to be created, an subdivision of ICANN maybe.

  14. Re:The State of Linux Desktop on Desktop Linux Survey Results Published · · Score: 1

    Hehe, i have never tried OS X, just a few clicks in a shop. Being used with the Linux way of doing stuff, OS X seemed a bit strange, and not intuitivelly enough. I guess that's the problem with us, geeks, we need to look unter the hood and understand how things work. Linux excells at this, and really gives a good feeling when you understand how stuff works. While not everybody is doing this ( a normal computer user wouldn't), but the ones doing it are driving the force behind the movement and helping sorting out the good features from bloat.

    Thansk for answering my comment, was a pleasure to read it and to answer back.

  15. The State of Linux Desktop on Desktop Linux Survey Results Published · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Believe it or not, i am using Linux as primary desktop continuosly from 1997 ( with just a short interval where i was forced to work on windows, or face getting fired). I've grown practically toghether with Linux as Desktop. Man, it was a challenge in the beginning. Things that for a server weren't important, they become for a desktop the equivalent of endless hacking nights. But it was worth. I was really pleased with it. Ah, and there were not that many distros, i think i started with Slackware, and since then only Redhat ( and now Fedora). I've tried also SuSE and Mandrake, but RH was the most consistent and the most easy to work with that time. SuSE was a PITA, until maybe the latest versions. Debian was out of range because of the "stable means old software" filosofy, even though i used the backports for various friends of mine, who wanted desktops with Debian.

    Now, if i take a look of latest gnome, but especially latest KDE, i can tell you, boy, this a fucking marvellous piece of UI, compared with was before. And all the small bits of integration with hardware are getting close to be a commodity, and not a luxury. I know, i didn't give back to much back to the community, but i am lurking from time to time in frenode's IRC channels, helping some poor beginners. Although, i think while the user friendliness of KDE(or gnome) has skyrocketed, there are still many hacks needed to make the user get the max out of what is offered. The weakest point and also the strongest point of FOSS is this somehow fractured and all over the world decentralised development of software. We should never abandon it, even if that would hurt the potential user ( i am not saying customer, because we talk about distribution and not commercialization).

    That being said, I applaud again the efforts of all developers, that keep us with the vision of a Linux Desktop.

  22. Not new on Vertical Axis Wind Turbine With Push and Pull · · Score: 1

    I remember seeing this design, with 3 pales, on a smaller scale, maybe 30cmx30cm, on top of frigo-wagons. When the train moves with high speed, the rotor will turn, thus generating power for keeping the wagon cool. I think they were backuped by batteries, or so.
