  1. Re:A Few Points on Microsoft Applies For Patent On Tufte's Sparklines · · Score: 1

    Finally, I'll just tack on that if sparklines are so great and this is all so obvious, then surely there's an open source version that predates this application.

    Yup. Here's one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sparklinesforxl/

  4. Re:Missing some subtle pun? on New Linux Distribution — Exherbo, Announced · · Score: 0
    Exherbo means to weed. Which tells you what they've been smoking ;p

    Looks kinda interesting though. There's some pretty smart ideas in there to get past some of the limitations and warts of ebuilds. Good luck to Bryan and friends.

  5. Re:Great! I liked Solaris. on Schwartz Comments On NSA/Sun OpenSolaris Collaboration · · Score: 0

    It takes me forever to pull out SELinux when I deploy a new Linux server why pull selinux out? isn't disabling it good enough? setting SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config would do that.
  6. Re:What is the crisis? on Gentoo in Crisis, Robbins Offers Solution · · Score: 0

    Well, he's not offering to just sort out the legal status of the gentoo foundation. There are some conditions attached as well. Basically he wants card blanche to do with gentoo as he pleases (Note, I'm not saying he doesn't have Gentoo's best interests in mind). That means the elected council charged with day to day management of gentoo is made superfluous (unless he chooses to give it something to do). The current developer base will have no say in anything beyond what Robbins chooses to grant them.

    The current problems with weekly newsletters, site updates and releases are not something that can be changed simply by resolving the legal status of the gentoo foundation. That said, there are developments in those areas so some improvement might show up in the not too far future.
