  1. The problem is.... on MPAA Chases Uploads, Ignores Open Sales of DVD-Rs? · · Score: 3, Informative

    They have been running them 'out of town' MP3Sparks was once AllOfMP3. TVBoxSet was formerly DVD-Series. Based out of: Strawinskylaan, Amsterdam 1143 XX Netherlands From they're own FAQ: "Is my order SECURE? You bet! When placing an order, Dvd-series.com uses..." It would appear someone forgot to update the page when they "moved"!

  2. Re:Did you actually read the article? on Sun To Choose GPL For Open-Sourcing Java · · Score: 1

    My point is the Slashdot post says, "...and they're going to use the GPL...". That statement currently is not true! Yet many people post as if it were a true statement. Hence the Subject Line. Finally if they are under a Non-Disclosure Agreement are they really telling the truth?

  3. Did you actually read the article? on Sun To Choose GPL For Open-Sourcing Java · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The fifth paragraph reads, "Santa Clara, Calif.-based Sun declined to comment on its open-source Java plans and licensing choice" That doesn't sound like a definitive answer to me. The ONLY thing that is actually said is, "...using a GPL license is very much *on* the table..." (q.v. http://blogs.sun.com/jonathan/entry/busy_week1 ). This does *not* commit sun to *anything*.

  4. Canada, of course! on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    I moved to Canada 5 years ago. I'm not currently a citizen but I don't want to vote or run for office anyway. I'm content here and sadly I don't miss not living in the U.S., it's getting creapy there.

  5. MPAA CEO Dan Glickman on the Broadcast Flag on MPAA CEO Dan Glickman on the Broadcast Flag · · Score: 1

    What good TV and movies? I hope he doesn't mean the Junk that is currently produced
