  1. Virtual Property on Music Copyright In EU Extended To 70 Years · · Score: 1

    What ever it takes to protect virtual property I guess.

  2. Re:Is this good? on Ballmer, IBM Surprised By Oracle-Sun Deal · · Score: 1

    I didn't say you couldn't buy RedHat. I said you can't buy what they have worked to accomplish.

  3. Re:Is this good? on Ballmer, IBM Surprised By Oracle-Sun Deal · · Score: 1

    You can't really buy what Redhat has worked to gain over the years.

  4. Re:Oracle + Sun MUCH better than IBM + Sun on Oracle Buys Sun · · Score: 1

    Oracle is the also the one trying to sell RedHat knockoffs.

  5. If I am ever found to be a criminal on Antitrust Regulators To Monitor Windows 7, But Not Later Releases · · Score: 1

    I would like to have the ability to consent to the details of my punishment. "Yes, you may search my apartment, but this is the last time".

  6. Re:Looks fairly reasonable on Appeals Court Says RIAA Hearing Can't Be Streamed · · Score: 1

    I hate to go against the /. groupthink

    There are only 20 something posts right now. Do you have some kind of psychic foresight on the /. group think yet to show itself?

  7. Re:Oh my on Online Storage For Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    Apperently not. My condolences to the family.

  8. Re:They can either do it openly or covertly on Time Warner Broadband Cap Trial Rescheduled In Texas · · Score: 1

    What's the point of having bandwidth limits _and_ download limits? And really, I don't think customers should have to pay because TW couldn't do the algebra to determine what hardware they needed based on the bandwidth they sold to each customer. THEY are the ones who marketted the bandwidth, its not like they had no idea how many bytes a month people could download.

  9. Re:This probably causes permanent damage. on Powerful Sonar Causes Deafness In Dolphins · · Score: 1

    Even if it is temporary, isn't this the equivalent of temporary blindness while on the highway?

  10. I guess I'm one of the few on Beware the Perils of Caffeine Withdrawal · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I must be one of the few that just doesn't touch the stuff. I don't even generally like the smell. Never drank it -- coffee that is. And I only drink soda for lack of better fruit juice.

    I believe half of /. needs to check themselves into a clinic.

    Drugs are bad, m-kay?

  11. Re:Bah on Beware the Perils of Caffeine Withdrawal · · Score: 1

    That's pretty sad.

  12. Re:Wrong focus on First Look At Fedora 11 Beta Release · · Score: 1

    quite a few people still cannot make suspend-to-RAM or suspend-to-disk work in Linux on their hardware

    Does that work reliably on any open hardware platform? (Windows, Linux, BSD)

  13. Re:Wrong focus on First Look At Fedora 11 Beta Release · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't care if it boots in 20 or 30 seconds

    Apparently quite a few people do.

    kernel based mode setting (so it flickers a bit, XP also does this)

    Well, I mean "we" are tring to be better than that though, right?

    ext4 (more testing plz)

    That's been in Fedora testing for quite some time. So I would leave that decision up to them and not assume they weren't testing it.

    management tools for virtual machines

    Better than virt-manager i take it?

    to finally be able so sync my phone without jumping through hoops. Same with using a webcam. And I would love to run Office 2007 SP1 on it, since I could try converting some machines at work to Linux. This would make my live a LOT easier

    That's a bit beyond the scope of a distribution though, no?

  14. Re:Biggest problems on First Look At Fedora 11 Beta Release · · Score: 1

    1) Have to 'reinstall' to upgrade to next version. I know there's a way to live upgrade, but it's still 'at your own risk' right?

    Lookup `preupgrade`

    2) openbsd-style netcat. Seriously, why reimplement netcat and change all the options? Hobbit forever.

    I don't know. That's a bit obscure to hope it just fixes itself. Is there a bug number?

  15. Re:Wish it were Google or someone else... on IBM About To Buy Sun For $7 Billion · · Score: 1

    No.. the only company I would prefer buying Sun would be RedHat. And just for the sake of the useful Solaris IP, Java and OpenOffice.

  16. If this comes to my neighbourhood on Time Warner Expanding Internet Transfer Caps To New Markets · · Score: 1

    We'll have to cancel their cable service. Also, I wonder how this will affect existing customers, can they add a cap after the contract?

  17. Slashdot was useless today on Microsoft Asks Fed For Bailout · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At least it was funny with the pink ponies thing. Today it's just useless.

  18. Re:Serenity on NASA In Colbert Conundrum Over Space Station · · Score: 1

    Name it after an adult diaper?

  19. Re:There are plenty of file formats to choose from on TomTom Settles With Microsoft · · Score: 1, Troll

    I'm sure manufactures can find one format that works on Linux and Mac. The only real problem is Windows.

  20. Re:Warning - Honest opinion below on Attempting To Reframe "KDE Vs. GNOME" · · Score: 1

    If in 4.2 you couldn't get icons on your desktop, then you simply did not want them.

  21. Re:XFCE 4 and GNUStep on Attempting To Reframe "KDE Vs. GNOME" · · Score: 2, Funny

    I get the feeling he meant Qt or something.

  22. Age is just a number on With a Computer Science Degree, an Old Man At 35? · · Score: 1

    Assuming agism, I of the opinion that companies don't engage in agism just for the hell of it, but because they see some correlation between increased age and employee attributes that they prefer not to have. If that is true, your actual performance will probably be more important than your age.

  23. Why were all the backups online? on How To Prevent Being Hacked Via Backups? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I understand why the most recent backup would be online, but I assumed it was standard procedure to have the remaining archive offline.

  24. Re:Tachikoma on How To Prevent Being Hacked Via Backups? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Those Tachikoma will do what ever it takes, especially once they gain individuality.

  25. Re:New Audio - Major Win on Review of GNOME 2.26 and GTK+ 2.16 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Windows has this. It's a cool feature. But this one is not provided by Gnome as far as I know, but by PulseAudio, correct me if I am wrong.
