    I wish it were 13.37 :(

    What? Do you think what they said was clearer than what Piratpartiet says? It's copied almost verbatim from Piratpartiet's program.

    Isn't this the old "raccoons eating the sensor" analogy?

  10. Re:Still I really dont like it. on Misconceptions About the GPL · · Score: 1

    The GPL doesn't exclude this, does it? The copyright holder has the right to release his own code under whatever license(s) he wishes; even a dual license. The GPL cannot prohibit this. Trolltech does this, for example, with Qt. If someone wants to use GPL'd code, but not release their own code, they can contact the holder of the copyright on the GPL'd code and ask for permission to do just that, for a small fee if the copyright holder wants it. But the copyright holder might, of course, say no. That's up to him, as it's his code. You want to force him to have to accept the money and give away his code, basically giving more freedom to proprietary companies and less freedom to computer hobbyists.

    It's actually five steps. You forgot the "?????" step as the second last.

    Good thing "Nintendo" doesn't have an S in it!

  16. Re:Top 10? on Sysadmin Toolbox Top Ten · · Score: 1

    I prefer conky over torsmo. It's a fork, with many new features.

  17. Re:What does patch help? on Root Password Readable in Clear Text with Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Also saying that it "only affects The 5.10 Breezy Badger release" may be a bit belittling, as probably most people have installed exactly that release.

    However, this bug only exists in clean 5.10 installs. Most people probably run 5.10, but many of those are people who upgraded from 5.04.

  18. Re:"Gameboy" DS? on Opera on the Nintendo DS · · Score: 1

    All right, hang on, I just have to commit seppuku.

  19. Re:Nintendo = Opera on Opera on the Nintendo DS · · Score: 1

    I think you're absolutely correct. Silly comparison, as we're talking handheld here, but the similarities between Nintendo and Opera as companies have hit me before. Opera isn't exactly an underdog on the handheld market either, with its good grip on the cell phones, so.

  20. Nintendo = Opera on Opera on the Nintendo DS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Nintendo and Opera have many similarities. They're both underdogs in respective markets, and they're both innovators in their markets and create features that the competitors copy. And probably other similarities as well, I dunno.

  21. Re:"Gameboy" DS? on Opera on the Nintendo DS · · Score: 1

    The Game Boy Micro does have a better screen. Plus, the DS isn't a Game Boy. It doesn't have a Game Boy processor, like the GBA did, and it can't play GB games. It can play GBA games, though. Maybe it's more like "Game Boy Advance DS".

  22. Re:Pseudo-Written Password on Write Down Your Passwords · · Score: 1

    Sucks if you have to enter your password on a PC using Dvorak, for example, though.
