  1. Usefulness? on MacResearch Introduces OpenMacGrid · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How useful can it be to be locked into one OS? How hard is it to make a commandline program and then a Cocoa interface, that way you can get everyone and still have a pretty window and widget for OS X users.

  2. Why not? on Sun's Scott McNealy's Days are Numbered? · · Score: 1

    Hey, then can just hire Darl McBride and sue BSD!

  3. Links on Hackers Happily Hacking The 360 · · Score: 1

    Two links are broken. The main one and the "free360.com" one, which is supposed to be free60.com.

  4. Re:Uuuuuh on Sony Rootkit Allegedly Contains LGPL Software · · Score: 5, Informative

    According to the EFF.

    This software is licensed under the so called Lesser Gnu Public License (LGPL). According to this license Sony must comply with a couple of demands. Amongst others, they have to indicate in a copyright notice that they make use of the software. The company must also deliver the source code to the open-source libraries or otherwise make these available. And finally, they must deliver or otherwise make available the in between form between source code and executable code, the so called objectfiles, with which others can make comparable software.

  5. Re:Silly? on Jobs Offers Free Mac OS X For $100 Laptops · · Score: 4, Informative

    "We declined because it's not open source," says Dr. Papert, noting the designers want an operating system that can be tinkered with. An Apple spokesman declined to comment.

  6. What? on Jobs Offers Free Mac OS X For $100 Laptops · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Red Hat? It looks like they've been helping, but wouldn't using something like Debian Embedded be better, as it could be less bloated?

  7. Political? on Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You know something's wrong when they have to bring Congress into this.

  8. Aliens? on Maps Show Mars Was Once More Like Earth · · Score: 0, Troll

    Seeing as how we do not behave exactly like every other animal, would there be a way that we could have come from Mars?

    Perhaps Adam and Eve were real and the first couple to come.

  9. Embedded? on The exhaustion of IPv4 address space · · Score: 1

    I don't think they included the fact that lots of devices are including internet conectivity, and looks like they could be TheNextBestThing, and would increase the rate IPv4 address space gets used up.

  10. Re:wishfull thinking on A Comparison of Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD Kernel · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Can one really see how the NT kernel works, with all the stuff stuck together like Windows is?

  11. Useless. on How Chinese Evade Government's Web Controls · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Even more, when the young hackers and spammers in China realise that they are being opressed, they will try to get out, and I'm sure they'll open up a lot. It's impossible to regulate so many people on something as free as the internet.

  12. Re:Sorry to bring this up, but what about microsof on Intel's Per-Chip Cost Averages $40 · · Score: 1

    That's because that software is targeted at a small audience, which can afford to pay that money if they need it.

  13. Notes. on GNOME 2.12 Released · · Score: 1
  14. Re:4 Player Split Screen? on GoldenEye:Source · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be playable over the internet, just like other Half-Life and Counter Strike based games?

  15. Re:Legal? on New Round of P2P Lawsuits from Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Where did they get them? Are they not property, intellectual property of the owners of both these sites?

  16. Legal? on New Round of P2P Lawsuits from Hollywood · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In what ways is it legal for them to use the logs of Suprnova and Lokitorrent?

  17. How? on Firefox Share Slipped in July for the First Time · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm sure one can measure ~8% roughly, but how can you know if a browser loses .60%?

  18. Re:299? on Analyst Says Two 360 Versions At Launch · · Score: 1

    Flamebait? Wouldn't it 'look' nicer to get the 360 for 360$?

  19. 299? on Analyst Says Two 360 Versions At Launch · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Why not 360$?

  20. Artificial? on The Fairness of Virtual Currency · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wait. Aren't all currencies artificial by now? I mean, not all countries have enough gold to substain the amount of "money" they have.

    Canonical, 100$ per year.
