  1. Sounds a little like... on Randomly Generated Paper Accepted to Conference · · Score: 2, Informative

    One Mark V Shaney, if anyone remembers that Usenet thing.

  2. Re:Postgres? on Open Source Licensing - Cuts Both Ways? · · Score: 1

    I'd say PostgreSQL is more likely to be "plays back into the hands of the traditional behemoths that dominate the industry" since it's under the BSD license instead of something like MySQL.

  3. Re:Sweet Idea - Practical? on Google Ride Finder Announced · · Score: 1

    There is no point to this. It's pure marketing. It'll get their name in the press, it'll get people to their site. Their stock price will go up, people will click their ads.

    Quick! Try and use above 1GB of storage! If you can't, we can sue them for false advertisement!!! We might have to go to France to do it, though.

    That's why God invented USB: So you can plug stuf into other stuff.

    This device doesn't really allow for plug-and-play networking.

  6. Re:There are Bigger Questions on Meshing Developmental Evolution and Technology · · Score: 1

    Projecting forward to what Google or Windows will be like in 2015 is like trying to track a flea through a hurricane.

    Simple: The flea is on the dog in the hurricane. Duh!

    I agree and I'd mod you up if I could.

  8. Re:Smells like a cheap ploy on From Archive.org, Free Multimedia Hosting for Life · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Considering (according to the Slashdot story, which doesn't mean much) Internet Archive is behind it, I would assume it's legit. That's what Archive.org does; Store stuff.

  9. Re:open source phone net on Build Your Own Cell tower · · Score: 1

    That doesn't discount that someone has to pay for it.

  10. Re:open source phone net on Build Your Own Cell tower · · Score: 1

    Internet bandwidth cost money, as does placing real calls over VoIP. Not to mention the actual costs of one of these base stations. Someone has to pick up the tab.

  11. Re:Copyrighted material? on Google's Library Up and Running · · Score: 1

    Okay, so Google puts everything without having people paying for it. Google gets sued for the obvious copyright violation and shut down. Great plan.

    There's the real world, and then there's your messed up vision of the world.

  12. Re:aliens do not talk. on How To Talk To Aliens · · Score: 1

    That was a 90s movie, you fool.

    The system is designed well. You just can't steal information from it, which is a design goal.

  14. Re:New bubble sighted; investors "Dumbstruck" on Yahoo buys Flickr · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't know much about Flickr, but I don't think it's a blog company. They deal with images, I thought. You upload them, people view them. Right?

    Although I do agree that blogs are just a fad.

  15. Re:what's a flickr program for your own server? on Yahoo buys Flickr · · Score: 0, Troll

    No, but that's the great part of open source! You get to add them yourself!!! See how wonderful that is? And the best part, if it's under the GPL, you'll have to give it all back to the community! See how open that force is?!

    (Yes, yes. I know what I said about the GPL isn't 100% true)

  16. Re:Another contest ... on Linuxense Break-in Challenge Over · · Score: 1

    Windows XP came out in about 2000/2001, as did Red Hat 7.0. Put them both up on a network, unpatched and unfirewalled, and both will get hacked quickly. OS has nothing to do with it; It's all about the patch level.

    Now go back to the bridge you crawled out from under, you troll!!!

    Apache's config is hierarchical. It's a natural for a filesystem-based configuration.

  19. Re:In other news... on Some Linux Distros Found Vulnerable By Default · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is getting modded as funny? Are you joking? It's a clear troll. Replace "windows" with "linux" and it would have been modded down faster than GNAA.

  20. Re:Am I alone who is tired of "gameplay rules" tal on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 1

    I'm tired of the people who have orgasms over the latest nVidia or ATI graphics cards. Gameplay does beat graphics, hands down.

  21. Re:The problem with Nintendo on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 1

    Nintendo's gimmicks is innovation, it has the game. Next-gen Nintendo, I know there will be good games: Zelda, Mario, and friends. With PS3 and Xbox Next, there'll be GTA (which I'm sick of since I never payed attention to the story anyway) and Halo (which I never liked). Beyond that, it's up for grabs.

    Nintendo has the games, the others have the gimmicks.

    Sure, it cost them $1,000, but it's going to get their name in the press.
