  1. IronPython on Microsoft PowerShell RC1 · · Score: 1

    Things would just rock when combined with IronPython. You could easily create something like Monad/PowerShell with IronPython, which fully integrates with .Net. Heck you can even use VisualStudio to edit/debug your scripts.

  2. When does code go into public domain? on Who Owns Source Code When a Company Folds? · · Score: 1

    In cases like this? Will the code/IP go into public domain in this case?

    1. Company is bankrupt and
    2. Company no longer is listed as active and
    3. No owner can be contacted.

    What are the implications if you release such a code into the public domain? Will you get sued? How and by whom?

  3. Law of Equilibrium on IBM Moving Developer Jobs Overseas · · Score: 1

    Well said Dr. Bent.

    Its the law of nature to balance things over time. The swing just started to reverse and balance the scale.

  4. Re:The choice on SBC Getting Aggressive With Frames Patent · · Score: 2, Insightful

    4) Find prior art and invalidate this patent.

    You forgot option 4. We should rather be serious about it.

  5. Re:I'm all for it. on Software Tariffs and US IT Outsourcing? · · Score: 1

    Graduating from a US school does not mean that you are guaranteed a job and a prosperous life. There is nothing like US jobs and jobs staying in US. Jobs go where they are the cheapest to produce. Be it your sneakers, clothers or your work.

    Learn to be competitive with the rest of the world.

  6. Re:Look at DDNS, too on Using DHCP for Authentication? · · Score: 1

    DDNS has nothing to do with DHCP security or authentication. It is just a way DHCP server could make the client's life a bit easier.

    Authenticated DHCP is also going no where since it is not considered to be secure enough.

  7. DHCP authentication does not work on Using DHCP for Authentication? · · Score: 1

    There is no known fool proof way to authenticate a client using DHCP. If you want a readily deployable technology, use PPPoE or 802.1x capable switches.

    Even setting up reservations for each registered clients does not work because I can listen and spoof any client if I have access to the network.

    If you are just supporting some http/nntp/https and some known protocols, use an authenticated proxy.

    Just drop the idea about authenticating DHCP. It will not lead you to anywhere.

  8. Re:Well... on India Plans Its Own Moon Shot · · Score: 1

    Pakistan has so called _indigenous_ missile program with out a space program. They have been sitting idle while India has been progressing in it's satellite launch program. I guess not many nations were interested in selling space launch technology to Pakistan.

    where are the drivers? I can't find them on pctel.com

  10. Re:Good. on H-1B Visas Increased In 96-To-1 Vote · · Score: 1

    Nice flamebait. Good luck

  11. controlling thoughts on Brainball! · · Score: 2

    It is not easy to control your thoughts as everyone thinks. It is definitely not achievable by a slacker. Try to keep your mind thoughtless for a minute and realize how difficult it is.

  12. Constitutionality of DMCA on CSS: About Piracy, or About Content Regulation? · · Score: 1

    I wonder if DMCA would pass the constitutionality test. The parts othe DMCA contradicts itself and the first amendment rights of free speech. I believe EFF should directly target the DMCA and try to get it removed.

  13. Re:Warning on installing fonts for Mandrake on Prettier Fonts in X? · · Score: 1

    It happened to me. The reason was that the complete path for the font directory was wrong in the XF86Config file. They are working great after I fixed the path

  14. drivers for E4 decoders on Windows NT and DVD Decoders? · · Score: 1

    I bought this lame card on ebay. When I bought this card, www.e4.com used to exist but I couldn't download the drivers (bad url). Any body has drivers for this card?
