  1. It doesn't matter on FSF Positioning To Sue Microsoft Over GPLv3? · · Score: 1

    If Novell decides to use software unver GPL3 then this gets into conflict with their contract with Microsoft. It doesn't matter which predates.

  2. Re:Bittorrent is not a p2p file sharing program. on Judge — "Making Available" Is Stealing Music · · Score: 1

    and after that, pay per thinking:

    - but I wasn't listening to the song!
    - yes but you were thinking about it!

  3. Re:Think of the children!! on Most Laws Attempting Limits of Violent Videogames Fail · · Score: 1

    t's quite different for a child to understand why two men and a golden retriever are having sex [...] I wouldn't call this sex.
  4. Re:Okay, and? on TSA's "Behavior Detection Officers" · · Score: 1

    Travel to another country by car or ship and then fly to Japan.

  5. Re:Who are you to say that? on Another Way To Erase Memories · · Score: 1

    [...] has THE ONE TRUE ANSWER for every human being on the planet. That sound an awfully lot like religion :-P

    OK, seriously, it's good to try to cope. I recognise that it's not always possible, but it's good to try. I have my fair share of traumatic experiences and all were treated with hard work. I was lucky? Maybe.

  8. I like Blu-ray on Blue Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    ...because the disc can hold more data.

  9. Re:Hard AI ftw on YouTube Video-Fingerprinting Due in September · · Score: 1

    hat's like saying we should bomb Hong Kong because they sell copyrighted works there- Bad analogy. Hong Kong is a city, YouTube is a video content. If we bomb Hong Kong people will die, if we shut down YouTube people will lose their jobs.

    Not that I wish to imply that corporations estimate that human life is worth more than money :-P
  10. Re:Better article on RIAA Backtracks After Embarrassing P2P Defendant · · Score: 1

    As another Slashdotet put it, they don't want your money, they want your blood. They said retribution, not compensation.

  11. Re:Open letter reply to that kind of law on FBI Remotely Installs Spyware to Trace Bomb Threat · · Score: 1

    The company's name is Vodafone Greece.

  12. pictures... on Baby Mammoth Found Intact · · Score: 1
  13. Re:Kernel building is pretty fast on Linux Gets Completely Fair Scheduler · · Score: 1

    He is talking about the kernel, not the whole OS.

  14. risen from about 20% to more than 40% on The Intersection of Microsoft, Linux, and China · · Score: 1

    In all, Gates says, the number of new machines shipped with legal software nationwide has risen from about 20% to more than 40% in the past 18 months.' That must be the Linux market share rising :-P
  15. Rootkit in disguise on Fighting Online Game Cheating in Hardware · · Score: 1
  16. Re:Do the Wine team understand the LGPL? on SWSoft Out of Compliance With the GPL · · Score: 1

    The headline is misleading, the summary is OK. But you need to read the article.

  17. Re:Do the Wine team understand the LGPL? on SWSoft Out of Compliance With the GPL · · Score: 1

    Parent is correct. GP looks like a troll.

  18. Re:Irony - I love it on GPLv3 Released · · Score: 1

    The predator knows you taste terribly and that's why he doesn't even attempt to eat you. You taste is preventing him. This is not meant as a retaliation after he attempts to eat you.

  20. Re:Lets hope they change on Yahoo Co-Founder Yang Now In Charge · · Score: 1

    Even better go to http://mail.yahoo.com/ (even if your yahoo mail is yahoo.co.uk or yahoo.ca since only yahoo.com has https).

  21. Re:Parent Funny! Mod Up and Loosen up! :) on Female Astronaut Sets Space Record · · Score: 1

    You've got a point, and I agree. Both, men and women, we are equal, but not the same. For instance the female body isn't designed to withstand strain as the male one.

  22. Re:I thought I knew what I was doing too on FBI Releases Results of Operation Bot Roast · · Score: 1

    ASUS's site, asus.com, has been hacked to use the animated cursor exploit. You don't have to visit a warez or porn site, any other site will do.

  23. Re:I thought I knew what I was doing too on FBI Releases Results of Operation Bot Roast · · Score: 1

    I am a Linux advocate but Linux isn't a panacea. It's trivial to send a file that will simply display a gksudo prompt and screw the system.

  24. Re:Pshhh... on Safari 3 vs. Firefox 2 and IE7 · · Score: 1

    How did this get modded insightful, it's supposed to be funny.

  25. Re:Links for nerds on stories that matter on Privacy Group Gives Google Lowest Possible Grade · · Score: 1

    It's one thing to happen to walk outside on the street and see inside, and another thing to document with a camera.
