  1. Re:I hope not on Will Sun Open Source Java? · · Score: 1

    RH has some proprietary code bundled. netbeans is my personal example of an open source tool forked to hell... backwards compatibility is a priority that can't be enforced if u open source it.

  2. I hope not on Will Sun Open Source Java? · · Score: 1

    Sun license is quite good for corporate and personal use.

    "pure OSS" are geek's toys, when we need to have the job done, we need to use a more professional alternative like RH or SUSE.

    there are some points where the license can improve, but open sourcing it would be an error.

  4. finally on Americans Gearing up to Fight Global Warming · · Score: 1

    since USA is the direct responsible for most of the gases that cause the greenhouse effect, it's reasonable that they do something.

    Signing the Kioto protocol would be a good start.

  5. teens watching porn now will become better lovers on Pr0n's Effect On Society · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So more than 50% of the teenagers have seen porn? That's really good news!

    Being familiar with porn and viewing the act of sex as a natural thing will enable them to do it better.

    If you look at the past you will see that when talking about sex was a taboo, most of the women didn't even know what an orgasm was!!!

    Let your kids see, talk and do it a lot, that's the best way to learn...

  6. Robotics on The Future of Computing · · Score: 0

    the increase in computing power will make possible (even banal) to have humanoid robots at home...

    if you follow that thinking you will end using mssql server with its baindead "next, next, next, finish" philosophy.

  9. good start on Google Finance Beta Released · · Score: 1

    looks like a good start, but it's too simplistic even for a beta.

  10. definition is not the problem on No HD-DVD Movies Until April · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hollywood shows me that their executives are just looking at the wrong direction.

    I'm completely satisfied with my tv resolution. What I want is intelligent movies with a consisten end ingriging plot . The last one that I bought was Fight Club a long time ago.

  12. Re:It's the keyboard, stupid. - And he was BOTTING on Banned From WoW For WINE & Programmable Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I did botted in some MMORPGs and this is not botting. That's a huge difference between botting and macroing.

    A bot is aware of the surroundings and himself and can take several actions based on these data. Efectivelly replacing the human player. The macro is only a script repeating a boring action over and over...

  13. Re:Not really... on U.S. Army Robots Break Asimov's First Law · · Score: 1

    Sorry man, but they are robots indeed. They engage in an ction following blindly an order thet he does not fully compreehend without any conciousness of his actions. Just like a robot. Doesn't matter if he has or hasn't shot someone, if you help with the war machine in any way you are responsible. A robot can't grasp the consequences of his actions in the long run but a human, a true human would. USA goverment like to take what they want by force... they've put Saddan in Iraq an now they removed him when he is not anymore in the White House Agenda. No fear in a war that's half world away :/ As the "excuses" for war becomes less and less acceptable ("god is in our side"... bush uses the same arguments as Osama) they will need a soldier that will never say no to immoral orders, like shooting alll women and children to loot "rogue" nations. Real life terminators, sponsored by halliburton, exxon and texaco!!!

  14. why copy protection? on PlayStation 3 Delay Official · · Score: 1

    forget about copy protection and sell it now. 2 months after release the copy protection will be broken anyway!!!

  15. Re:Missing the point on eBooks - What's Holding You Back? · · Score: 1

    I was hit by the "space" issue. I had a room that was my office and lybrary (mainly technical books and comics) and now it will be the baby's room. When making the changes I realised that HQ+books was more than 6 square meters of paper that I could free. I will miss his physical forms, but I would like to have all this in pdf+cbr files efectivelly gaining a room in my house!!! lots of things hold me to switch to linux, but only the (lack of) hardware is stopping me from switching to eBook.

  16. cbr and pdf, I want a A4 sized screen on eBooks - What's Holding You Back? · · Score: 1

    usually I read a lot of comic books in cbr file and eBooks (magazines and books) in PDF. usually I do it in my desktop... I tried to do it in my pda and realized that a small screen is not comfortable enought. I need at least a A4 sized screen with a good contrast. Unfortunatelly the ideal solution, a TabletPC is really overpriced. anyone knows a good hardware for this?

  17. Re:A few questions: on Microsoft Origami Unfolds · · Score: 1

    I know your pain. I retired my palm zire 72 (palmOS) for a xda2 (windows mobile) because it's a pda and a cell phone. I dont want to walk with a belt full of gadgets if one can do it all. Unfortunately even the phone application annoys me (no usability) and the whole device is slow and boggy. I'm still waiting for a true "killer gadget" that will be a pda and cell phone with bluetooh, wi-fi and more...

  18. Re:news denied on IBM Germany Leaving Vista for Linux · · Score: 2

    Notes on wine instability is a proof tha wine is almost perfect. Notes is the most unstable software I use at work on windows... Any Notes user have killnotes on his desktop. That states a lot about Notes

  19. Re:wow on SAP vs. Oracle, Battle Royale · · Score: 1

    that's true. they say that with SAP you don't need do code, only customize. But instead of 1000 coding man hour, you will need 1000 customizer man hour (more expensive than coding). Here in Brazil a lot of companies are doing small erp-like systems... all crap, but better than SAP since you have access to the code

  21. enthusiasts should be gone earlier! on Departure Of The Java Hyper-Enthusiasts? · · Score: 1

    Thats very good that the enthusiasts are gone... Programming languages are to be discussed with reason, with enthusiasts you have too much emotion on the equation. Java have some pros and cons. Personally I still thinks that is the best language to make enterprise web systems. Ruby on rails is in the stage of "geek toy" and ASP.NET is as unstable as any m$ technology and the IDE is very costly. when you are dealing with huge companies, you can't just have the latest cutting edge technology. You must stand with what was tested, known and have a short time to market. with java you have multiple vendors competing to supply the cheaper, more secure and more performatic application servers. Java can be a pain in the ass sometimes because you need to follow the OO way of thinking and this can lead to some extra effort in the initial coding, but this makes harder to write unmanageable spaghetti code. I have 2 certifications in java and one in c#, and the market is not going to abandon those technologies soon, that I know for sure!

  22. Re:ethics shouldn't be dictated by the masses on P2P Population Growing Again · · Score: 1

    "At one time the majority of people believed that slavery was acceptable. Ethics shouldn't be dictated by the whims of the majority, but instead on rational thought. So, if you believe there is nothing wrong with violating copyright in downloading music, justify your opinion with a reasonable explanation. Don't just say it's ok because everyone is doing it."

    Don't know about you, but I dont give a shit about copyrigths for musics because the musicians must earn his money with shows and the distributor for (duh!) distributing cd's (you pay for the logistic involved)... when I download a music I'm not ins live concert, so I don't need to pay the musicians and I didn't need the logistics to send my home a cd so I don't need to pay the distributors...

    "The reason slavery is unacceptable today is because the vast majority of the world believes that it is wrong. The ideas of personal freedom and free-will have spread around the world. That is why is it unlawful. It is not because we discovered some truth about slavery similar to the way people recognized the Earth rotates around the Sun."

    wrong, slavery existed mainly because people believed some were intrinecally "better" than others jews were "inferior " to the egyptians and black people were "souless" to the europeans. Today we believe all have the same potential and this is backed up cientifically, so unless we ignore science along, slavery can't come back.

    at least until the first humanoid robots come in... slavery without counsience issues...
