  1. Re:Paul Vixie aready runs root servers on Open-Source Pioneers Make Bid for .org · · Score: 1

    There are "a few hundred NS records in one zone file" because as well as the gTLDs there are all the country code TLDs.

  2. Re:I hate the way on Netscape 6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    This is in the recent versions of netscape 4. Try resizing one of these browsers to about 640 pixels wide. If you do you lose the stop button and the shop button is now on the end of the button bar.

  3. Nobody Loves Me! on I Love You "Virus" Hates Everyone · · Score: 1

    I didn't get a copy either.

    We put in email filters to stop the propergation of the virus. I put in an exception for email to me. We've caught tens of thousands of emails but still not a single one for me.

  4. Re:What is wrong with a full featured IDE? on It's the Developers, Stupid!: The Real NT-Linux Battle · · Score: 1

    I'm sure emacs could be programmed to be a full featured IDE. Someone may have already written the elisp for the features you need.

    What they lack is human empathy, a deficiency sometimes called "mind-blindness", which shows up as a distinct to read routine human nonverbal cues of attitude such as kindness, anger or love.

    This has cause and effect arse backwards. The "inability to read routine human nonverbal cues" is the cause not effect. These kinds of misconceptions can be very offensive. The inability goes both ways; The Neurotypical often mis-read the nonverbal and verbal communication of those who are autistic.

  6. What is ART? on Essay on Open Source as an Art Form · · Score: 1
    Free software was around long before all this open source hype and so was the idea the software is an art form.

    Anyway debating if something is art or not always comes back to the question "what is art?". The best answer to this question that I've heard is the one that goes art is anything that is created by an artist.

    I'm an artists and when I code it's art. If you are a software engineer when you code all you create is just software.

    When an artist writes code in a commercial environement, giving up copyright of their code for money, it is nothing more than prostitution. But then in this world you have to earn a living somehow.
