    50 wpm ... is that not decent, or what?

  3. Re:We can fix it! on UK Demands Sourcecode for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1

    Why even go through all the pain of rewriting everything the Americans already wrote. Just ask them to open source their plane software :)

  4. Re:Worthless on Amazon's New Storage Service · · Score: 1

    In that case you can buy a fire-resistant IBM ThinkPad. Or was that just an urban legend?

  5. Recipe for success on 17 Year Old Creates Flickr Competitor · · Score: 4, Funny

    1. Create a lame clone of a well known web site ... let's say Flikr 2. Fill it up with Google adds 3. Anonymously submit a story on Slashdot saying that the new site is a Flikr KILLER 4. Profit

  10. Re:Full Disclosure on GPL 3 As Bonfire of the Vanities · · Score: 1

    Don't need to. Knowing that is published by CNet is enough to stop reading the f****g article.

  12. Re:Some contributions of Algol60 on Peter Naur Wins 2005 Turing Award · · Score: 2, Interesting

    > 1. The Report on the language used a formal syntax specification, one of the first, if not the first, to do so. Semantics were specfied with prose, however. Unfortunately this is the case with all programming languages (with the exception of standard ML).

  13. Hype Management on Why Vista Won't Suck · · Score: 1

    The Hype Management feature seems quite nice.

  14. Re:Backend for a database on Oracle Acquires Sleepycat · · Score: 1

    Berkeley DB is not a relational database management system like MySQL. It has a much simpler architecture and does not support SQL, table schema or table columns.

  15. Re:Give them a break... on Sun Urged to Give Up OpenOffice Control · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sun's contribution to open source is extremely valuable, and so it's IBM's. I really hate to see the two undermining each other's efforts. They should know better.

    As for the slashdotters ... they will always find something to pick on, no matter what the subject is.

  16. Sounds like the latest news ... on Sun Urged to Give Up OpenOffice Control · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... from the IBM P.R. department with the title: "IBM urges Sun to give up OpenOffice control"

    The truth is that if a high enough percentage of the OpenOffice.org people wanted to break up with Sun nobody could stop them - they could just FORK. But wait ... more than half of the OpenOffice.org developers are Sun EMPLOYEES! So how could _OpenOffice.org_ want "Sun Microsystems to give up control over the OpenOffice productivity suite, and donate the intellectual property to an independent not-for-profit foundation" (quote from the article)? And what developer would consciously use a term like intellectual property in the first place?

  17. Re:Isn't Lazslo the competition here? on Adobe Releases Flex 2.0 Beta · · Score: 1

    What does this have to do with what the parent asked?
    The answer is yes: OpenLaszlo is the direct competitor to Flex, and rather than being totally trashed by Macromedia (now Adobe) they decided to open source their product. I don't know about you, but I would rather be using a GPL-incompatible open source product than a commercial one. But maybe this is just me ... licence purists can still wait for projects like GplFlash or Gnash to catch up. However I doubt this will happen anytime soon.

  18. Re:Moodle on Suggestions for Scriptable CAI Apps? · · Score: 1

    I tried Moodle myself on several ocassions and I think it is a great. However I doubt it is what they are looking for, i.e. "Flash-compatible" stuff. I would rather recommend them OpenLaszlo (or Macromedia Flex).
