  1. Re:No supprise here on Microsoft Working On Its Own App Store · · Score: 1

    The GUI came from the PARC, too! And the iPod was nowhere near the first portable media player - apple copied that too!

  2. Re:Adventure games are not dead on Heavy Rain - Playing a Story · · Score: 1

    Neither are visual novels, which is what Heavy Rain seems like, to me. A glorified visual novel.

  3. Re:Compile from source yourself! on Package Managers As Achilles Heel · · Score: 1

    LFS was my first ever Linux distribution, and I had no troubles whatsoever, despite being utterly unfamiliar with bash. Only problem I ever had was

  4. Something funny re: the amendments to section 410 on H.R. 4279 Would Establish Federal IP Cops · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "Specifically, federal civil law would be amended to: (1) provide a safe harbor for copyright registrations that contain inaccurate information so such technical errors would not prevent a judgment for infringement;" Excuse me? So if you lie when registering for copyright, the registration is still valid? Or does this imply that an inaccurate registration would not prevent a judgment for infringement that could have taken place if copyright was not explicitly registered at all (something that would already be the case, unless I am mistaken). The amendments to section 410 do not make it clear exactly how this will be any different.

  5. "Surprisingly"? on Breakdowns of Website Defacement by Platform · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Given the proportion of Apache servers to IIS servers on the Internet, I don't think the ~280% difference is that strange. After all, most websites are vandalised through oversights in custom scripting etc., rather than security holes in Apache.

  6. Re:Why specifically Ubuntu? on Lotus Notes 8.5 Will Support Ubuntu 7.0 · · Score: 1

    Because it is easier to guarantee support for a particular distribution, which ships with a certain suite of libraries and applications of various versions, than it is just to state 'Linux' support. It is very likely that minimal effort would be required to run Lotus Notes 8.5 on other GNU/Linux distributions.
