  1. Re:GPL keyboard ? on Korg's New Keyboard Powered by Linux · · Score: 1
    Indeed. But what if they have modified the Linux kernel to make it run on the music keyboard ? Or will Linux run out of box on it, without any customizations to the kernel ?

    I mean, they are technically commercially distributing their version of Linux. So, isn't GPL supposed to apply in this case at least ?

  2. GPL keyboard ? on Korg's New Keyboard Powered by Linux · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Hmm concidering that they have proprietary software being commercially distributed, coupled up with Linux.. will they or won't they be bound by GPL to release the code for it ?

    Or will they skip on providing any CDs ?

    Even worse... the slashdot servers will be down all day long, causing massive depression amongst the slashdotters, mass consumption of beer and pizza, and finally driving them to suicide by the millions.
    Worldwide rioting and looting to follow.

    If you are female, am sure some of the guys here will volunteer with that.

  5. Re:No images, but... on Google Trials A9 Style Image Search · · Score: 1
    The suggestion feature has been around for a while though still being tested in Google Labs. It is called Google suggest.

    The grugnog story is a trick, with the person running the site is doctoring the html.

  6. Re:NSFW on Google Trials A9 Style Image Search · · Score: 1

    Probably a fake story, since directly accessing google suggest does not bring up any such images. Leads one to suspect that these images are being inserted by grugnog.com itself using some script to fetch images from google image search. While a neat idea, such a feature would be actually a major concern. For example, a sociologist at work place, searching for "sex inquality" might have images being displayed based on just the first keyword. Not to mention, images somehow are more offending in nature at times, then just text. I would definitely want the ability to turn off the feature, even if I am not using safe search.

    Basically anywhere that kind of money changes hands is going to attract people you wouldn't normally want to associate yourself with.
