    Mmh, yeah, the terms aren't so bad... for Steve. According to SFLC's Bradley Kuhn, the pledge is revocable at any time: http://www.softwarefreedom.org/news/20061109a.html

  5. Re:Bad move by Novell on Microsoft/Novell Deal Could Create Two-Tier Linux Market · · Score: 1

    Who recall what was said from Redmond when Novell bought SUSE? I've a bad memory, it was something about flying corks and buried once will buried again...

  6. Re:Just Call It Microsoft SuSe WinLinux Already! on Microsoft To Announce Linux Partnership · · Score: 1

    And you are forgotting the crazy mono push done by ex-Ximian's (ok Novell bought them because of mono), blah...

    Every Microsoft partner thinks they aren't going to be treated like the last lot were.

    Exactly.

    Nintendo sued Lik-Sang in the not so distant past for selling modchip or backup devices...

  8. Re:xfs for ever on Novell Moves Away From ReiserFS · · Score: 3, Interesting

    According to an old email from Ts'o, not only they suggest to run XFS with an UPS but SGI hardware was modified to mitigate damages in case of black-out using big capacitors and, at kernel level, was added a power-fail interrupt to Irix. http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Filesystems/reiserfs.htm l

    Yeah, and you can be sure that the OEM will ping-pong you to the software producer... (=

  10. Re:Windows = the problem on Looking Back on Five Years of Windows XP · · Score: 1
    No one is interested in spending hours making the Linux desktop useable from default settings. Even now, one cannot click on a multimedia link and expect to listen or watch the content by default!

    This isn't a technical problem but a patent problem.

    Confusion reigns on this one....An application gets advertised as Linux ready...an ambitious slashdotter downloads it and tries to install it. But first, this poor man must know in which format its packaged (tar, deb, rpm etc). Then he must know whether it's for his particular distro. Even when it is, on trying to get it installed, he's warned that there are dependencies to be met, and as such, some files must be downloaded from the internet. The poor guy hooks up on the internet, downloads the necessary files but while in the process of installing, he's informed that there are conflicts...Guys, this madness must stop if Linux is to get anywhere.

    You can find applications, like games or, for example, Google Earth that install like a windos application, a double click on the file downloaded with the browser.

  14. Yeah, right... on Trouble on the Debian Front? · · Score: 1

    So, if someone leaves Canonical/Ubuntu, lets say jdub (Jeff Waugh), then they are in troubles too?

    P.S. i give you that Garret and Waugh resignation motives are different...

  16. Re:No consoles? on No Crysis for EA or Consoles · · Score: 1

    I think i've never played RPGs on PC (at least none of the above) if you don't consider Dungeon Master for the Amiga. So lately only japanese RPGs, but loved Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts: Covenant...

  17. Re:No consoles? on No Crysis for EA or Consoles · · Score: 1

    I play games on the PC because the PS2,or any other console, doesn't deliver as well on the genres I like: RTS, FPS, and RPG.

    Dunno, but IMHO, i think if you like RPG games you should use the PS2... (=

  18. Re:Flogging a dead Story on The Black Hat Wi-Fi Exploit · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't understand, in the advisor and Intel page they talk about drivers, specifically windos drivers. I've looked around but found nothing about updated firmware, so could this still be really used as a cross platform exploit?

  19. Why not adding TV too? on Game Console Energy Usage Comparison · · Score: 1

    I think my 15" PAL TV is going to require less energy than a big HD TV set (but i could be wrong), so why not meter what you need to play at 480p or 720p?

    If you know someone who has a reasonably fast connection (DSL, cable) you can follow the "Using APT Offline" guide, you can find it in the apt-doc Debian package, don't know if is present on Ubuntu, or you can find a slightly older version here: http://www.batmat.net/apt-offline/

    I don't have the link at hands, but i've read something like that (the tags thing) done by at least one Gnome developer. Ok, i think i found the link: http://www.chipx86.com/blog/?p=140 And yes, my sister uses the emblems, but only to differentiate directories, but she probably will use them more if she could make searches or filter files with them...
