  1. Re:so....... on The IT Industry's Red Shift Theory · · Score: 1

    For nearly a decade as chief technology officer at Sun Microsystems, Greg Papadopoulos has mulled the best way to build and sell high-performance computers, and more recently how to pull the company out of its financial slump.

    Apparently, releasing some crazy theory called "Red Shift Theory" that says people should buy more "big-iron" servers like what sun offers is how he plans on getting the company out of a financial slump.

  5. Linux Developers? on MS Silverlight a Step Back For Linux Users · · Score: 1

    Well, being that there is a pretty large portion of web developers out there that develop on Linux, why would they want to adopt this technology that they wouldn't even be able to use on their own systems let alone test it?

  6. Re:Great for the gene pool on CS Programs Changing to Attract Women Students · · Score: 1

    Hey! Speak for yourself buddy. I'd go back to school if they can turn that many girls into geeks. Hell, its even possible some of those college students will lose their virginity before they graaduate.

  7. Re:You tried to parod a humorous commercial? on Novell/Linux Parody on Apple's Mac vs PC Ads · · Score: 2, Funny

  11. Re:why bother on MPAA Fires Back at AACS Decryption Utility · · Score: 1

    umm... you don't need a signature to agree to any kind of contract. do you think any of the oss libraries require the user to sign something? of course not. simply using it means they agree to the terms of the license. of course, i would imagine that they would need a patent or something to really enforce this in the court of law..

  12. Misleading Post on MPAA Fires Back at AACS Decryption Utility · · Score: 1

    I can't find the takedown notice, but no where in the forums or anything i've been reading does it say that they are requiring the utility to be removed because it can possibly circumvent hd dvd encryption.

    if anything, they're requiring the tool be removed because it is an implementation of the technology and its not licensed by AACS, which it clearly states is required on the third page of this document http://www.aacsla.com/specifications/specs091/AACS _Spec_Common_0.91.pdf

  13. Re:why bother on MPAA Fires Back at AACS Decryption Utility · · Score: 1

    I don't see how Doom9 can win when on the third page of AACS Specifications http://www.aacsla.com/specifications/specs091/AACS _Spec_Common_0.91.pdf, it says: Intellectual Property Implementation of this specification requires a license from AACS LLC

  15. Re:Rediculous solution on Gorbachev Asks Gates to Intervene in Piracy Case · · Score: 1

    albeit its against the law to pirate software.... but how can it be morally wrong to use pirated software to teach impoverished children in a manner that provides no financial gain? if anything, this would only bring more business to microsoft as these children grow older and enter the workplace because they spent their adolescent lives using microsoft software. i'm pretty certain most of the students here couldn't afford to buy all that expensive software when they were in college. now imagine living in a country like russia where it would probably take a months worth of wages to buy a full copy of windows xp. i whole heartedly support the idea of providing free software to students for educational purposes by any means possible... and i can't see how most of you don't.

  16. Re:short term on China Tests Anti-Satellite Laser Weapon · · Score: 1
