  1. Re:why i still use opera on Firefox In Print · · Score: 2, Informative

    1) Restart Firefox and go to Tools > Options... (Edit > Preferences... under Linux and Mac OS X), select Advanced and click on Tabbed Browsing. Then select "Open links ... in: a new tab in the most recent window".

    2) Take a look at SessionSaver http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#sessions aver If you'll run into troubles during installation just go to about:config -> extensions.disabledObsolete and set it to false.

  2. A glimmer of hope on IBM Ordered to Show More Code to SCO · · Score: 0
    If at all possible, SCO's going to be even more insufferable now -- it has a glimmer of hope.

    One, two, three... and now it's gone again.

  7. Re:Stability on EWeek Details Linux to Windows Migration · · Score: 0

    Wake up!
    Since 2000, Windows has been at least as stable as Linux, if not more so.


    2000 is the only usable OS from Microsoft. Come on! you don't really mean XP is as stable as Linux?!

  8. Re:Question for Mr. Bush on Submit and Moderate Questions for Bush and Kerry · · Score: 0

    There's a difference between people who hate and people who do not like G.W.Bush, and I think the majority of those people you've mentioned are from second cathegory.

    My question is:
    What Mr. President still thinks about the weapons of mass destructions in Iraq?

  13. Re:In Soviet Estonia.. on Estonia Tests "Contactless" ID-Cards · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You're right.. but I've never said it was a big mistake. All I said was that it was a common mistake.

    Anyhow, the chances of new russian invation are the same as the chances the next US president will be an alien :) So, I think there should be serious privacy concerns.

    And the last thing... historically speaking the country behind the Great Russia actually is Ukraine.

  14. Re:Info on Biometrics not being safe ? on Estonia Tests "Contactless" ID-Cards · · Score: 1

    It has been said quite a few times already that biometrics by themself cannot be used as primary authentication. The insecurity lies within the fact that it cannot be changed after it has been spoofed.

    Another problem with the use of biometrics is described here.

  15. Re:A manageable situation on Estonia Tests "Contactless" ID-Cards · · Score: 1

    Plus, it might help if you get lost in the heavy forests and start treking toward the Soviet border.

    In this case you should press the RETURN button on your time travelling device and go back to 2004 as there's no Soviet today ;)

  16. Re:In Soviet Estonia.. on Estonia Tests "Contactless" ID-Cards · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Estonia actually WAS in Soviet Russia

    It's a common mistake to refer to Soviet as Soviet Russia... Russia was a part of the Soviet Union same way as Estonia, so, saying what you actually did doesn't make any sence ;)

  17. Licenses on Evolution Bounty Stirs GPL Concerns · · Score: 1

    Is this a smart business move, or a violation of the GPL?

    While I can't say anything about this being a smart business move, I can take on the GPL part.

    I don't think it violates GPL, because it's not certain that the "Works", as they chose to call it, will be released under GPL: "Ximian may at its sole discretion also offer the Works or a Program enhanced by the Works under other license terms." Note that you'd agree all copyrights to be transferred to Ximian and therefor it would be their decision to choose the license. I also don't think GPL prohibits the code to be used in commercial programs as long as they freely disribute the source. If they indeed release "Works" under the GPL then calling it proprietary code would be kind of doll, as they won't exclusively own it. Well, if I understand GPL correctly... It might be a good idea to consult with your lawer.

  18. Re:Mandrake Impresses Me... on Mandrakesoft Releases 10.1 Beta1 · · Score: 1

    I have to agree I was also impressed with Mandrake 10.0, not to mention I finally got all my speakers to work properly. But sadly enough, I have always had some issues with installer (prior to 10.0), mostly it overwrote my MBR and then asked me if I wanted to install LILO somewhere else, which I actually did. 10.0 on the other hand didn't have this issue, though this time I wasn't be able to create boot diskette. Not really a problem, because I always have Knoppix CD around, but still kind of bugs me. Let's hope 10.1 will be a perfect one ;)

    I think the more general term Evolutionary Algorithms would be more appropriate here, as Evolution Strategy would also apply to what you're suggesting.
