    Harmony!=FairPlay
    apple could keep upgrading Fairplay [just like yahoo and msn keep upgrading their authentication scheme
    of their IMs to keep away third-party IM's like gaim and trillian]...

  7. Human Interface Guidelines on Gnome 2.8 RC1 Released · · Score: 4, Interesting

    GNOME 2.4 used to be slower than KDE 3.1... atleast on my configuration... but GNOME 2.8 seems to have improved hell-a-lot in terms of speed.. looks like am back to GNOME again..

  10. quite true ! on Is Open Source An Advantage For Game Developers? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    very true... the main reason i think is coz a game is not very usable until it reaches the final stage hence there are less hackers interested in working on it.. but if its a product like an instant messenger.. we have a basic product with basic features on top of which hackers would implement features like archiving,adding a new protocol,new buddy icons etc. thereby making a better product... its only the hacker-attractive products that become very successful open-source projects.Check out the top 10 in sourceforge and you will know what i mean.

  15. light and bandwidth ! on Busted For Using Library Wi-Fi Outside The Library · · Score: 5, Insightful

    From the article: I responded, "But this is a radio signal thing -- it's not like a cable connection, it's like someone has a porch light on and I'm sitting on the bench, reading a book by their light. I'm not stealing their light."
    These are nowhere analogous,you are stealing bandwidth when u use WiFi this way,but its not the same with light which anyway is gonna illuminate the bench without an added effort to the wattage.

  18. Re:Replacement? on The Last Atlas 2 Rocket Launch · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Atlas V launch system uses the same Centaur stage as on the flight proven Atlas III. More operationally efficient than previous systems [ Atlas II and III], the Atlas V significantly reduces the time required to process and prepare each vehicle for launch, thus enabling greater flexibility in meeting customer launch schedule requirements. The modular design and broad performance capability of the Atlas V family maximize responsiveness to customer performance and mission requirements.
