  2. Re:Wow on Gates Provides Windows Crash Statistic · · Score: 1

    Speaking of which, when something is wrong with a car or basically anything we use, the government may make a company or the company may choose to recall it. Why should this not be the same for software bugs?

  3. Kind of off topic.. on North Carolina Fights Back Against Lexmark · · Score: 1

    I don't really print a lot of stuff so I just bought my first replacement ink cartage for my printer of 4years about a week ago, And my surprise the ink cartage was 32$!

    What makes ink cart rages so high in price? Supply and demand or does it really cost that much to make one.

  4. Re:Why steal from that corpse, too? on First Look at YellowTAB's Zeta · · Score: 1

    > ...he second was "Will they release the OS under GPL so we can rape and pillage their IP?"

    I disagree with this, only because I feel if something works and works well and if we have the chance not to rewrite it, why waste the time in doing so?

    > This isn't a troll, this is a serious concern of mine. Don't copy BeOS, don't copy Windows XP, don't copy Mac OS/X! Do something ORIGINAL! Do something new that is Linix/OSS from the ground up. Stop playing catch up and take the lead for once!

    I'm just curious, what would you do different as not to copy from win, os/x, beos?

    > PS2 has the killer apps, and that's really what counts.

    Yeah, you do have a point there, but look at where the ps2 was a year after release with good games. They had about as many good games out as xbox a year after release. It takes time to program good games.

  11. Re:gcc 3? on FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE · · Score: 4, Informative

    Just the "stable" branch is sticking around with gcc2.95 the newer more cutting edge "current" branch has gcc3.2. And the reason behind this is gcc 3.2 isn't stable yet and gcc2.95 is and has been stable for quite some time.

    ahze@ahze(~) gcc --version
    gcc (GCC) 3.2.1 [FreeBSD] 20020901 (prerelease)

  12. Pre-paid legal may be a good option for this. on When Do You Really Need a Lawyer? · · Score: 1

    My work just got some new benefits and one of them was pre-paid legal services. I choose not to take this benefit but it was offered at a very reasonable rate of 25$ a month.

    The services include 50hours a year in court, 1hour per-trail, 2 Written legal documents a year, 5 phone calls from the lawyer to a person or company a year.
    All the options increase yearly, longer you use them more you can use them for the same price.

  13. Re:The BSD license is evil on OpenSSL Gets Cryptography Gift From Sun · · Score: 1

    You miss understand the point of the BSD license. People who use it want EVERYONE to be able to use their code for what ever reason they see fit.

    As long as you post where the source came from you're in the clear.

  15. Re:Slashdot Cache on When Users Attack · · Score: 1

    I'd even be willing to pay for a subscription if they added a cache so I'd never get a damned /.ed page.
