  1. You surely "get the facts" on Linspire/Microsoft Agreement Useless to Users · · Score: 1

    Yeah, go and read M$ PR bulletins instead. The get the facts campaign is so about truth.

  2. Re:It's just a version number on Next Version of Windows? Call it '7' · · Score: 1

    I always said Vista is unfinished. What is the version numbering on Vista?

  3. maybe it has a good explanation on Hotmail Delivers Far Fewer Emails with Attachments · · Score: 1

    They simply remove spam/virus attachments. If you say, they removed more than that, then probably their anti-virus program is over eager. Just because it is M$ it is not necessarily evil.

  4. Re:The short version... on Executive Order Overturns US Fifth Amendment · · Score: 1

    Violence is easy. Some civil clothes guy comes to you and punches you. There, you got violence.

  5. Re:Causality on Testing Einstein's 'Spooky Action at a Distance' · · Score: 1

    Nah, he will just shut down the world, which will be instantly rebooted after the failure, completely restored in the last known good state. We won't notice anything.

  6. Re:Who says you will get a choice in the matter? on Microsoft Patents the Mother of All Adware · · Score: 1

    Except that the new M$ OS will have Novell Linux at its core too. They of course won't admit it.

  7. here is the fishy part on "Tubes" Senator Being Investigated For Corruption · · Score: 1
  8. Re:Deadly ? on New and Improved Deadly Snail Venom · · Score: 1

    They will crawl into your mouth while you are snoring.

  9. Re:Suspicious at best. on Nicotine Is the New Wonder Drug · · Score: 1

    Well, no one wants that those tobacco millionaires lose their income. If nicotine could truly be useful, why not use it in a safe way. I just couldn't believe those liars anymore, i believe this study is rigged.

  10. Re:Won't Be Censored? on The Pirate Bay Won't Be Censored · · Score: 2, Funny

    I say, if they filter anything, child porn is a thing that must be filtered.

  11. Re:is it just me? on Groklaw Explains Microsoft and the GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    You make it sound like M$ is a drug.

  12. Re:Swedish police have that much control? on Swedish Police to Block Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Right, M$ isn't so influential here, the DoJ is already in their pockets. But, it is not true European 'politicians' are not in their pockets, it is just there are MANY politicians, and M$ didn't invest so much, yet, in them, as they did in the US. So, yes, it is really good the EU has the gall to punish a monopolistic corporation before it is too late. On the other side, it is documented that the swedish police acted on pressure coming from the US. This pressure wouldn't have existed if there was no 'US Big Media' lobby, as it didn't pose any military or economy threat to the US as a whole. About the pornography stuff, well, trackers are just trackers (not even single links), it is hard to filter content. I would rather go after the source (web hosts and producers), not the indexing service. If this continues, it would be a good precedent to go after Google or even Microsoft (they provide means of searching for child pornography).

  13. Replicators? on iPhone Researchers Gain a Shell · · Score: 1

    This self-propagating code will need to be very advanced. "as it relies on some minor electronics to be created and connected to the phone's serial port" Scary!!!

  14. Re:Swedish police have that much control? on Swedish Police to Block Pirate Bay · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This whole fuckup is forced by USA private companies (RIAA & co) on Sweden, so, well, you can say that Europeans got a problem with USA as a police-state. But, it is even worse, we got problems with (RIAA & co) acting as police even outside the USA.

  15. Re:As they say... on Perpetual Energy Machine Getting Lots of Attention · · Score: 1

    I guess no one will survive the day when Jupiter finally collides with Mars. But it will be in the far future, so who cares.

  16. Re:To put it another way... on FSF Rattles Tivo Saber At Apple · · Score: 1

    How are they able to cross port those changes without Apple submitting them back in the first place?

  17. Re:Help spread GPL FUD on SWSoft Out of Compliance With the GPL · · Score: 1

    If commercial organisations steal their code willfully, there is not much incentive in continuing work. I also dislike wine for its weak performance, but i can understand the authors facing such gross thieving.

  18. it seems like they are slaves, not artists on Music Industry Attacks Free Prince CD · · Score: 1

    If you sold your soul to the devil, there is no way to get it back.

  19. huh? i didn't know diebold runs Linux on Will Linux Win the Next Presidential Election? · · Score: 1

    Yes, the next election will be won by the machines, just like the previous one. But those machines don't run Linux.

  20. Re:When will they share revenue with Viacom, et al on YouTube To Share Revenue With 20-year-old Filmmaker · · Score: 1

    In a year this 'kid' might produce commercially owned content :) In 5 years, he might have an own studio.

  21. Re:Well tested? on Pimp Your XP · · Score: 1

    Just because you were lucky, it isn't FUD. I saw Vista choking on network card and I saw Vista freezing on playing a DVD.

  22. Re:Divide and Conquer on Final Draft of GPLv3 Allows Novell-Microsoft Deal · · Score: 1

    The deal was allowed not to please Novell, Microsoft or even Novell's customers. The deal was allowed to get the patent protection from the Novell/Microsoft deal. Microsoft is expected to distribute GPLV3 software. As soon as it does so (don't forget the coupons already sold), M$ will effectively donate any patents theoretically covered by that software. If the kernel would be GPLV3, and M$ would distribute it (by coupons or otherwise), the kernel would gain patent protection from M$ patents. Why would anyone want to ban such deals like Novell/Microsoft when letting it is much more helpful.

  24. Re:Hahaha... these Americans... on Microsoft Moves To Change NY State Election Law · · Score: 1

    Not like it counts whom they vote for, given those voting machines. The winner will be the one whom the controllers or hackers of those machines wanted.

  25. No, this is not star trek fantasy... on "Cascade B" Particle Discovered At Fermilab · · Score: 1

    this is the first step for the Q bomb.
