  1. Not in general. on Should Developers Be Liable For Their Code? · · Score: 1

    But developers that take royalties should be liable for their code.

  2. come to think of it on Star Trek's Warp Drive Not Impossible · · Score: 1

    I've had this chunk of space time in my basement, i can finally put some use to it.

  3. Re:Wait a second on Windows 7 To Include "Windows XP Mode" · · Score: 1

    Yes, but they could only infect the sandbox and any files that sandbox has access too, woops..

  4. Re:I was thinking about Online MMOS on Ancient Books Go Online · · Score: 1

    yeah that's the idea ;)

  5. I was thinking about Online MMOS on Ancient Books Go Online · · Score: 1

    I'm still waiting for Israel Online or Bible Online, 29AD Online (maccabes?). You would have prophet classes similar to druids and the opposing faction could be the romans with centurions :)

  6. Pre-Implants on New Discovery May End Transplant Rejection · · Score: 1

    Could they not kick the immune system into overdrive a day before the actual transplant and when the immune system is not looking once it's tired out they could stick a new heart in there.

  7. Re:Google Lawyer Alexander Macgillivray's Blog on Google CEO Warns Newspapers Not To Anger Readers · · Score: 1

    It's just like Town Criers suing Newspapers for putting them out of business!!

  8. Costly for business on Microsoft Ending Mainstream Support For XP · · Score: 1

    So i take it that this will mean the corporations will have to finally upgrade. the testing cost for all those crappy crm's that are only supported on ie6 is going to be astromomical. if they were programmed correctly in the first place, any browser would be able to use them and companies could have switched to thin client to save massive amounts on energy.

  9. To cut the story short on AP Says "Share Your Revenue, Or Face Lawsuits" · · Score: 1

    They should just give us tasters.. then tell us the buy the newspaper to read more.

  10. Re:The future on XP Reprieve, Downgrade May Continue After Win7 · · Score: 1

    wow your writing style is JUST like William Gibson!

  11. Public Domain Magazine on How Do I Put an Invention Into the Public Domain? · · Score: 1

    Someone should publish a magazine full of useful and useless inventions that people could submit to them for a small fee (to pay for the printing) and they could keep those ideas on record for posterity.

    That's pretty much what the patent office does but it would be for cheaper! Maybe "Make Magazine" already does that?

  12. Re:This is interesting for another reason as well. on Group Pushes FCC To Investigate Skype for iPhone · · Score: 1

    couldn't at&t partner directly with skype and make all their voice calls operate as voip calls, then they would be using the same "pipes"? could't they just make sure the path to the skype servers isn't congested.

  13. Parallel Development on Linux Needs Critics · · Score: 1

    Linux has similar technologies and forks of technologies, it's pretty evolutionary. It's really astonishing how one app can run on various different filesystems with different window managers. More diversity is welcome, there should be forks of everything.

  14. Catchphrase on 3D-Based CAPTCHAs Become a Reality · · Score: 1

    what about a 3d catchphrase to guess. it would be entertaining also. That would be 4d in a way.

  15. shoulder surfing on Red Hat — Stand Alone Or Get Bought? · · Score: 1

    If i were Redhat I would be saying no to potential shoulder surfer owners looking to maximise profit without regard for the clientelle.

  16. Re:Enlarging pixel art on id Releases Open Source Wolfenstein 3D for the iPhone · · Score: 1

    wow it's magnification just like in CSI!!!

  17. I hereby on Microchip Mimics a Brain With 200,000 Neurons · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I hail our new robotic brained overlords.

  18. Get rid of Modal dialogs! on KDE Project Invites Ideas With Online Brainstorm · · Score: 1

    I would like it to get rid of the modal dialog boxes, especially the one for knoqueror which makes it a pain to use for web browsing.

    Maybe the could implement a modal dialog stack which would stack them up unobtrusively on the side some where, but not so that they can steal focus.

  19. Re:Sounds interesting. on UI Features That Didn't Make It Into Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    compiz fusion thumbnails...

  20. Last 1% on Sun's CEO On FOSS and the Cloud · · Score: 1

    If you use and opensource product without any modification and then the last 1% features are missing to make your product viable, what you can do is implement the changes to the source yourself, it doesn't matter how badly you code it as long at the original base code is sound.

    when you buy in a proprietary product you have to rely full on that outside company to create the remaining features, they may have all the essentials but none of the nice to have features and are often built around archaic systems that would never allow the nice to have technologies to be implemented in that solution.

    most of those non-foss products are only secure due to obscurity or to really slow (and secure) developement cycles.

  21. Re:New mascot (this kernel only) on Linux Kernel 2.6.29 Released · · Score: 1

    What if someone invented some muzzle that would stop them biting each other but would still enabled them to eat their food.

  22. Wikileaks on Dealing With a Copyright Takedown Request? · · Score: 1

    Just post the whole lot on Wikileaks.

  23. Re:THOUSANDS OF BUGS? on Microsoft Unveils Open Source Exploit Finder · · Score: 1

    MS have to keep the legacy bugs in there for compatibility reasons.

  24. Re:It seems ironic... on Ballmer Scorns Apple As a $500 Logo · · Score: 1

    actually on a laptop, only one button makes sense.

    in windows and linux i often dont look at the buttons next to my trackpad and very often click on the wrong one. but with the new macs tapping with two fingers does the trick that a right mouse click would do.

  25. Intermediary on Programming Language Specialization Dilemma · · Score: 1

    I think intermediary languages are overated, the languages that matter the most are SQL, and HTML, Javascript. CSS can be an afterthought once you have working navigation.

    If you create a web service based framework the intermediary language will get underused (asp.net, php, perl)

    but it is good to know advanced concepts that you can transpose on to other languages.

    this is one thing HR do not understand, is that once you know how to do it RIGHT with one language you will look for the equivalent technique in the new language. They just want X years experience in such a language.

    i've had asp.net for 2 years and sql for 4 years. and there are still bloated job descriptions that cause my cv to get blocked in the HR machine.
