  1. Re:Specifics of the GPL violation on John Carmack Enforcing the GPL on Quake Source · · Score: 1

    wonderful. and you know what will happen here, right? he'll be forced to open up the source - and he'll put it on a 56k uplink on a windows box that needs to be rebooted 3 times/day...

  3. Re:Cute idea on A New DeCSS · · Score: 1

    the idea here is to increase the problems for the plaintiff while keeping the people that mirror it *completely* safe. i don't know about you, but i *don't* have money to pay for my defense, even if i do win. i'm broke already (that's why i run linux! :) ).

  5. Re:But what about??? on 'South Park' Nominated for Oscar · · Score: 2

    step one, instead of ass, say buns, like kiss my buns or you're a bunshole. step two, instead of shit say poo, as in bullpoo, poohead and this poo is cold. step three, with bitch drop the t, 'cause bich is latin for genorosity. step four, don't say fuck anymore, 'cause fuck is the worst word that you can say, so just use the word "m'kay"....

  6. Re:Cost is not equal to price on Microsoft's X-Box Specs Revealed · · Score: 1

    couple years ago when reel.com started selling titanic, they sold it for $9.99... this is lower than what they were paying for it. i don't recall any legal action being taken against them. are you not allowed to take a loss *on a specific product* or is it that you can't make a loss overall? reel.com's revenues went up because they drew so many people to their site, who in turn purchased other movies...

  7. Personally... on Linus, Transmeta, Proprietary Code and Metcalfe · · Score: 1

    I've just stopped reading Metcalfe's columns. I respect the man for what he once was, that being a pioneer of the computer age. I appreciate ethernet. But he just doesn't seem to understand it any more. For instance, he says that if Linus is *the* open source man, why isn't the Crusoe software open source? My first guess would be *because he doesn't own it* - Transmeta does. And they can do whatever they want with it. Anyway, Metcalfe just seems to pick out the little dumb things, and the quality of his articles has been declining for quite some time. Read Cringely instead.

  9. Re:Sleep Deprivation can also kill. on Sleep Deprivation Increases Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    yeah, but i recall reading that 15 minute power naps are actually quite good for you, where you don't feel tired as long as you sleep for about 15 minutes every 4 hours. is that not true? i've tried it and never have had any problems, although concede that once after 4 days of being awake, i started hallucinating and feeling *really* dizzy...

    that could be argued both ways. i read slashdot because there's a lot of intelligent content here, and i feel that i learn something new every time i read it, so it's a worthwhile usage of my time. i make time to read it - i don't read it 'cause i have nothing better to do.

  20. I use CIHost... on Where, Oh Where has Cihost.com Gone? · · Score: 1

    and I have to admit, they're a pretty damn good hosting company. I was surprised to see them on Slashdot (first site I came to after getting my cable modem installed - download the news even quicker) so I figured I'd better toss in my 2 cents. I've had a few troubles in the past with accessing my webserver, but when I couldn't get my email yesterday I figured something was going on. I hate to see them get bad press - they've been pretty awesome with me. But I'd have to say that they're gonna need to hand out a few months of free hosting to make up for this, 'cause being down for a day and a half violates their "99.9% uptime, guaranteed!" bit... we shall see...

  21. Re:Weaselly licenses? on HP's E-Speak Source Released to Public · · Score: 1

    I think what he meant is that we don't have to worry about finding some stupid clause in the license like "no one under 18 can use this" or whatever - it's GPL. he didn't say every other license that wasn't GPL or LGPL was "weaselly," just reaffirmed the fact that GPL and LGPL are NOT weaselly.

  22. slashdotted already... on JWZ on Dealing with Wrist Pain · · Score: 1

    apparently jwz is running his webserver off isdn or something :) but it's slashdotted - any one that can get to it willing to throw up a mirror? or post the text here? REMEMBER - include copyright info :)

  23. PRECEDENT on Net Gambler Sues Credit Card Company · · Score: 1

    i saw on ZDtv just last night (i think, sleep all screwed up) that a woman lost $10,000 in online gambling, sued her credit card companies, and WON. how ridiculous is that? but it's precedent, and that means this guy will probably win too. it's a silly world we're living in...

  24. i'm gonna get smacked for this... on On Using X w/o the Rodent · · Score: 1

    but i really, *really* like my microsoft natural elite keyboard. it's really light (great for putting down on your lap, sitting on your knees when you're leaning way back, etc) and it's incredibly comfortable. as for a mouse, the logitech mouseman wheel is pretty durn good. it fits my hand really comfortably and the scrolling works in gnome apps (haven't tried it with kde). hope this helps at least a little.
