  1. Re:The resurgence of the BSD license? on Linux Kernel Developers' Position on GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    Those who don't mind if someone rapes their code just go with the BSD. Those who are extremely paranoid (maybe rightfully so) just go with the gplv3. All else goes with gplv2.

  2. Re:Culture of Death on Paypal Co-Founder Backs Anti-Aging Research Prize · · Score: 1

    Stopping the degradation means quality.

  3. Re:Right.... bit of clarification on GPL Gets Its Day in Court in Israel · · Score: 1

    If you yourself write your application to support a closed source dll, it is definitely not a violation. As you are the one who chose to limit yourself. If someone takes YOUR source, and adds a proprietary plugin to it, then it depends on the license. If you licensed your code to him by GPL (not LGPL), then he breached the license.

  4. Re:What happens if... on Google to Use PC Microphones to Listen In? · · Score: 1

    You will get: 1. recipes how to prepare pork 2. a weapon catalogue 3. a free offer for weekend in a medication center 4. yes

  5. and what happens if... on NASA Still Wants Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    Do carbon nanotubes burn when sprinkled with flaming kerosene?

  6. Re:It's in the article on Stolen Cell Phone Shares Thieves' Photos? · · Score: 1

    If i were that guy, i wouldn't care about the PR crap and would try to pursue the thief (with the phone still plugged in). Of course IF i did a PR stunt which backfired, i would stop it. Granted, i'm not the same guy...

  7. Attempt? on Microsoft Attempts to Quash OSS Recommendations · · Score: 1

    From what I learned, it wasn't just an attempt. They actually managed it.

  8. we are already a slave of our DNA on Single-Celled Species' Genome As Complex As Ours? · · Score: 1

    Hey, if your DNA wanted you could not have sex, or you would die one of thousands of terrible deaths. You could be crippled, or successful. All depends on your DNA overlords.

  9. Re:You might as well ask... on What is the Ultimate Linux Development Environment? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    1. i don't think the beliefs of a christian leader are higher than any single 'lowly' follower's. Think of Mother Theresa. Same goes for the fanatic muslims. None of those head honchos who issue the suicide bomber fatwas do actually become suicide bombers. 2. i think Hubbard genuinely believed in Xenu and all that crap. He took too much narcotics. Most of scientology is just business anyway, they call it a religion to avoid taxes. If scientology would be a religion, it would be safely called a cult. Otherwise i view it as a pure criminal organisation.

  10. Yeah, what's the next step? on The Story of the Pedophile-catching Hacker · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Next time a hacker will plant the images himself and then get brownie points with the FBI.

  11. Re:Article holds some truths. on ESR Says Linux Followers Should Compromise · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and the best would be if M$ has its own distro? I don't think so. I'm satistfied with my Linux as it is. It is on my desktop. If someone else isn't, that is THEIR problem. They can always choose Vista, who cares?

  12. Re:Sad. on Mozilla Developers Invited to Redmond · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Maybe you should learn the tale about the scorpion and the turtle. Sad indeed.

  13. Re:But will it kill prions? on Viruses the New Condiment · · Score: 1

    Umm yeah. Eating beans, corn and peas would cause increased flatulence (methane gases), which increases the greenhouse effect. STOP EATING PLANTS or the Earth will die.

  14. in other news... on Viruses the New Condiment · · Score: 1

    Plants in the laboratory developed legs and arms and broke the phage vats. There is no immediate danger, but the nearby cities were evacuated. The army is prepared to spread the area with napalm.

  15. The obvious step on Teens Don't Think CD Copying is a Crime · · Score: 1

    If the schoolyard piracy is even more threatening than P&P piracy, then: Close the Schools!

  16. Re:Boring?! on Oblivion Polymorph Mod · · Score: 1

    Class? There are no real classes in Oblivion, just preselected skill preferences. I've started a custom character with mage and fighter primary skills.

  17. Re:Boring?! on Oblivion Polymorph Mod · · Score: 1

    This is not entirely true, the moment i could develop my own armour and weapons, i owned the opponents. The game was tough in the beginning, and gradually became easier up to level 30, then it became cakewalk (almost unenjoyable). All fights except the last one in the Paradise was cake. Yeah, the dialogs are not so developed, and there is little impact on the world (except the last dragon fight). You surely miss that one, hehe. THAT changed the landscape of the city significantly.

  18. Re:Imagine a game based on walking boring? on Oblivion Polymorph Mod · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Myst is crap. It is a plain point and click adventure without humour or action, or even meaningful puzzles. Oblivion is quite unlike that. Aside combat (which isn't as good as a 2d strategical combat would be), you can develop your own spells or mix potions of unusual qualities. The quests are not quite complex, mostly fedex and kill stuff. Still Oblivion is good enough while waiting for some real rpg to come out.

  19. Re:Why stop at a bridge? on Stephen Colbert vs The Hungarian Government · · Score: 1

    Actually, the Turkish empire ruined Hungary in the middle ages. Hungary defended Europe from them for decades.

  20. Re:And they still wonder? on EU Patent Wars to Resume · · Score: 1

    Small national governments are easier to buy.

  21. Re:Man nice FUD on 68% of UK Universities and Colleges Use Firefox · · Score: 1

    Either you are lucky not getting any malware, or just too ignorant of notice or care. I use IE only for security upgrades.

    It is a flying fox. (not fuck).

  23. Re:What it actually says... on New 'No Military Use' GPL For GPU · · Score: 1

    You stretch it too much. The inaction in question doesn't mean inability. Inaction means that the program ceases to work in certain cases. Probably that means it cannot be modified to stop working for gnutella addicted terrorists? Dunno, how this program's cease to work could harm a human being.

  24. Re:Flogging a dead Story on The Black Hat Wi-Fi Exploit · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, it is illegal to use it as an exploit :)

  25. Re:Why are people who leave microsoft relevent new on MS Security Guru Leaves for Amazon.com · · Score: 1

    By your logic, anyone leaving M$ is unimportant. Maybe they even cease to exist.
