Re:Open DevelopmentThere was an "Internet" in the early 1980s, but practically no one had access (I did), so we depended on the few published books, occasional insights in magazines like COMPUTE!, Creative Computing and Byte.
You needed a subscription to Antic my friend.http://atarimagazines.planetmirror.com/antic/Many a night was wasted writing and saving to cassette the code of that mag. Always praying no one hit the light switch or tripped over the plug (Happened a maddening # of times.)

Re:Fact lite submissionThe FSF is telling Tivo, if you're giving our software to your users, you have to give them the ability to change it.
That is *not* the issue and its damn deceiptful of RMS and the gpl3 pushers to say it is. You *can* modify the tivo software, and you have always been able to do so. Tivo has decided to lock down their *hardware* and that is what gave rms a hissy fit.

Re:Understood...But I never went through with it, because Columbine was still fresh in everyone's memory, and I was afraid that exactly this sort of thing would happen. Right after Columbine I made a DOOM ][ map of my school. It took me several weeks, but it was very accurate. I never shared it with anyone, fearing the thought police would something like this article. I wanted to make it into something like School DOOM, but based fully on my school and students/teachers, but never got around to finishing it.

Re:Horeshit.....javascript is crap but....horeshit
What we are seeing now is a push way beyond its original intended scope.
Name a Turing-complete programming tool which has not seen this.
I throw in the qualifier because, other than stuff like regular expressions and SQL, which are not Turing-complete and have blissfully narrow scopes, everything else has seen javascript-acular scope creep.
Here, have an httpd written in PostScript: http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/pshttpd/
Perhaps not being Turing-complete is a left-handed virtue. -

Re:MySpace
Which MySpace are you talking about? PlanetMirror's offering is the only thing I know of called MySpace which offers file hosting (100MB these days). I don't know if it's in any way related to what you're thinking about, but today's MySpace is in no way related to any file-hosting service I've ever heard of... Maybe the domain got recycled?

Re:NAS
If you're running OS X on your Macs, they should speak to the Unix server natively (that is, via NFS) since OS X is a essentially a slick GUI running over a Unix core and uses NFS networking. If you're running the "Classic" Mac OS, then check out The Columbia AppleTalk Package available from http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/cap/?fl=c among other places. It's an AppleTalk server daemon for Unix. I have to admit that I haven't used this one, though I hear it works well.
I have used Netatalk, an AppleTalk server package for Linux and can attest to the fact that it works very well and is far faster than using a Mac running OS 9 or earlier as a server.

Doom Legacy
DOOM (Ultimate DOOM, DOOM ][ and Final DOOM) are still my overall favorite games. I've been playing them since they came out (I'm 24).
One thing I would highly reccomend is using DOOM Legacy. It really improves on the graphics and gameplay.
Also try this level: School DOOM. That was one of my favorites during high school...
Securitron is also awesome, especially if you're a fan of Fear Factory (it's based on the song). -
not the best, but useful
There's a small set of apps that I usually install on any Windows machine I use. I don't consider all of them to be "great apps", but they fill gaps that are missing in a default XP install. Most of these are pretty well known, but here you go:
- Acrobat Reader
- WinZip
- Winamp
- Quicktime Player
- Gaim for Win32
- TeraTerm Pro + TTSSH
- Hijack This!
- UnixTools

Re:E Smith
[Shameless project plug time]
There's a lot of activity going on at www.contribs.org, the home of the SME Server (nee e-smith). It's taken a while, but the community is finally getting organised. There is light at the end of the tunnel
:-)There is also a lot of development activity happening, with 7.0alpha under very active development.
7.0alpha adds virus scanning, attachment blocking, spam filtering, user-based virtual domain handling, secure POP/IMAP/SMTP, IMP3 webmail, and a panel for installing additional software via yum .
7.0alpha is based on CentOS 4.1 - any packages from CentOS are used unmodified, and so additional software can be installed directly via yum (or the panel).
Grab a copy from an smeserver mirror, for example: http://www.planetmirror.com/pub/smeserver/release

Re:Not credible
it clearly borrows heavily from some well known BSD licensed unixlike codebase (almost certainly Darwin, given their claims of Mach kernel services).
Erm, Darwin isn't BSD licensed. It's licensed under the APSL, which is essentially a "You can copy it as long as you can't make it proprietary but you allow us to if we want because we're Apple and we can do whatever we want, har har har!" license.There was something called XMach at one point that's virtually disappeared, this too was a BSD kernel for Mach.
It's worth noting that Mach based Linux also exists, in the form of MkLinux.

Ubuntu rocks
New stuff include
- Gnome 2.10.1, which makes the desktop a lot faster than before
- X.org
- Simplified update- and package management
- Much faster boot process
- Better laptop support (ie suspending, hibernating, processor frequency scaling)
- Kickstart support for automated largescale installations
- Live CD and Install CD both use the new debian installer infrastructure
- UTF-8 by default
- A program for collecting information about what hardware works and what doesn't
- Kubuntu - complete KDE 3.4 based version of Ubuntu
Stuff people are going to bitch about
- No graphical installer. The current installer is extremely simple and has been streamlined even further in this release. A graphical installer is planned for the next version (Breezy Badger).
- No menu editor installed. One can always edit the files by hand, or install kmenu or something similar for gnome. The official gnome menu editor just didn't finish in time.
- No DivX or MP3 support. These are simple to add though and anyone coming from debian will probably already know of the Marillat repositories. Just look at the instructions in the wiki or use Hoary After-Install helper or another script to do the dirty work for you.
OSDir has published a lot of screenshots of Ubuntu.
Oh and if you are interested to know if your laptop or other piece of hardware is supported, some info can be found in the wiki on the Hardware support-page

Re:Disastrous acquisition of WordPerfect?
When I think of Disaster, Linux, and WordPerfect, I think of their attempt to port the entire suite to Java. Attempting to capitalize on "write once, run anywhere," and wholeheartedly ignoring the reality of such systems, it ran in a JVM in a browser window. Unfortunately, the computers trying to run the thing couldn't ignore reality, and as such loading a heavily stripped down version of WP took several minutes. It also couldn't take advatage of OS API's, and had to reinvent the wheel many times. I've spoken to a coder from that project, who says it was basically a hell that they knew management wasn't going to let them out of until one or both of them were dead. As Corel laid the lot of them off, it would appear it was both.
You can still try out their beta if you would like, though ironically for a "write once run anywhere" suite you'll be hard pressed to find a browser old enough to run it.
The subsequent version of WP was recoded in C and C++.

Re:Bah...lucky Australians
How often do you actually download something at 5.0Mb/s? There are only a handful of servers in the world that would let a public internet connection download at that speed...
Pretty much every few days with Gentoo updates and such. http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/, http://mirror.pacific.net.au/, and http://planetmirror.com/ are all open to the public (well, mirror.aarnet.edu.au is reportedly
.au only, I've never had the chance to see for myself), and very fast from my broadband connection here in Melbourne. -
Re:Intel should subpoena AMD!
You can still get Dave William's DOS Technical Reference Manual at http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/freedos/files/
d ocs/ which contains a very technical reference to the BIOS inside. (Note that it is now located inside the FreeDOS documentation, as it was used as a reference in creating FreeDOS) -
Re:Not as good as it soundsCaptions (also on DVD subtitles) seem to be shorthand summaries of what was said, when it's usually possible for them to be exact transcripts.

Windows XP Service Pack 2
Uh oh:

Here's something I've often wondered - what's the go here? Microsoft don't want anyone mirroring Windows XP Service Pack 2 (despite lots of places still having it mirrored), but what about proxies? -
Try this hotfix.It takes a while to download all three files, but after you burn them to CD and install them on all of your MS-Windows machines, you'll never have to worry about running Windows Update (or any other ActiveX one-way trips) again.
They don't require registration, you can change your PC's configuration as much as you like, and they have a few free applications thrown in as well!

Re:MCI will peer if you are actually a _peer_
Of course, no big ISP wants to give away free transit bandwidth to a small ISP, and I was not meaning interconnection for flat-fee transit bandwidth.
Singtel Optus did it in WAIX, and everybody flushed 15GB a day (or month? It was a big number) to Sigapore. They cut it because they were paying the huge transit bill (how hard is it to just not advertise those networks to a IX at all?).
It's not that the Big ISP's shouldn't peer with smaller ones that should really be paying transit costs, But that the "Big 4" refuse to peer with the other Tier-1 ISP's down here. ISP's have been going to the ACCC about it, funny since it was a ACCC decision in 1998 which forced the 4 to peer.
What hurts over here is when we have content on one of the big 4 networks, in the same city, but you have to pay a fortune for it. ISP's have been paying per the MB for stuff like the ABC broadband archive, PlanetMirror and AARNet (especially it's mirror). The ABC recently agreed to peer with PIPE in Sydney (after having fibre terminated there a long time ago, both free of charge in the hope it will peer). It should ease performance issues with the ABC's link with AAPT (causing everybodys streams to drop out in peak times at the moment). Some of the 'in the press' articles at PIPE networks provide some insight into the state of peering in Australia. -
