  1. Re:I motion that... on The Internet At 35 · · Score: 5, Funny

    What you are talking about? Increasing delay? There is already 10 years delay on this article!

  2. Re:find -name myfilename on KDE Plans 'Google-like' Search Capabilities · · Score: 2, Informative

    This problem has been solved by GNOME Storage. It is not very GNOME Dependant, it could be utilised by KDE without problem (write KIOSlave equvialent of gnomevfs module and even obsolete apps can use it).

  3. Half success on Night Goggles Capture Spider-Man Movie Bootlegger · · Score: 1

    They apparently didn't cought all of them :-)

  4. Instant messaging - jabber on The Latest And Greatest Console Applications? · · Score: 1

    There is some very nice console jabber client, it is called EKG2. I'm using it all the time for the jabber communication - instant messaging with friends, news notification (rss), remote systems monitoring and so more. But there is one very annoyind downside - it hasn't been translated to languages other than Polish ;-). Yet.

  5. Re:It seems a bit risky on Linux Kernel 2.6.6 Released · · Score: 1

    There was no cache flushing code in linux 2.6 up to 2.6.5. It's better to have code that complain and sometimes flush cache, than nonexistant code that not flush caches ;-)

  6. Re:Windows 98? on Microsoft Authorized Refurbishers · · Score: 1

    Argh! My eyes pain. Windows since '95 is 32 bit with 16 compatibility. Last 16 bit was Windows 3.11

  7. Re:So what's left for XFree86? on X.Org Foundation Releases X11R6.7 X Window System · · Score: 1

    Also NetBSD imported XFree86 in the beggining of march 2004.

  8. Re:So what's left for XFree86? on X.Org Foundation Releases X11R6.7 X Window System · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, Slackware is using XFree86 4.4 since Tue Mar 23 13:07:20 PST 2004.

  9. Re:the PPC64 work is looking real nice on Linux 2.6.5 is Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    PPC64 will generally get more attention now, since Linus' main workstation is PPC64 since about two months now.

  10. Re: EM64T? on Intel 32/64-bit Nocona CPU · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's pronounced AMD64.

  11. Re:RAID 5 is independent too. on Hitachi Announces 400GB Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Additionally, with RAID6 you can lose two drives and still have working array. RAID6 is available in Linux kernel since 2.6.2 IIRC.

  12. Deja vu? on Chandra Sees Black Hole Rip Star Apart · · Score: 1

    Black ? Ripping? Star? I saw it before.

  13. Re:Those features I can't live without on Mandrake Blocked By XFree86 4.4 License · · Score: 2, Informative

    Release Notes for XFree86 4.4.0-RC2. Maybe it's IPv6 support, maybe autedetecion of mouse port, maybe VIA driver, maybe Mesa 5.0.2. Nothing revolutionary, I think.

  14. Re:What services are you using? on How Much Broadband Usage is Too Much? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that bandwidth is capped by gibibytes, not gibibits.

    So, what we have? 128 kbit is 16 KiB per second.

    1 GiB / 16 KiB = 65 536 second (how round ;-)
    this is, with standard earth 3600 hours ... 18 hours, some minutes.

    You can spend some arbitrary 30GB month limit by only listening to radio while beeing awake. Hm, pretty interesting.

  15. Where's directory tree? on The State Of The GTK+ File Selector · · Score: 1

    Why there isn't directory tree in left panel? I'm supposed to use mouse to navigate this dialog, sa ability to quickly expand directory tree and click on interesting dir is pretty useful.

  16. Re:Nearly impossible? on Security Predictions of 2004 · · Score: 1

    They found way through Bayesian filters. I'm getting more and more spam filled with innocent english words in one of the MIME multipart emails. Those word decreases possibility of classifing email as spam, because normal, not-spam emails also contains them.
    Training Bayesian filters to classify those spams with normal words increases possibility of false-positives (normal email treated as spam), which is more annoying than spam itself.

  17. Re:EFI sucks on Writing an End to the Bio of BIOS? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    EFI sucks. Even Linus says so.

  18. Re:Check out that picture! on Update on Alan Cox's Sabbatical · · Score: 1

    Poland (.pl) officialy have IDN domain since 11th September 2003.

  20. Re:SpamAssassin on Critical Eye on SpamAssassin · · Score: 1

    Doable I think. First you have to use SA's bayesian learning detector, and pass through 'sa-learn' few hundreds troll comments.
    Then write a small filter for squid, which will break all comments into single posts, filter them through SA and reassemble output.

    Nice weekend-hacking project.

  21. Cluster photos on Sun Donation Spurs Linux Cluster at Purdue · · Score: 1

    I thought linking to pr0n is illegal on /. ?

  22. Re:Native Drivers, Please on Windows Drivers Under Linux? · · Score: 1

    No thanks, id rather have native drivers for my hardware.

    This remind me I2O. If I remember corectly, I2O idea is to have OS-indepedent drivers supplied and connected to real OS via think I2O layer. This idea seems dead, althrough.

  23. Re:Cool on Replacing the Aging Init Procedure on Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Find following line in your /etc/inittab :

    # Script to run when going multi user.
    rc:2345:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc.M

    and change it into

    # Script to run when going multi user.
    rc:2345:once:/etc/rc.d/rc.M

    Much faster, isn't it?

  25. Compilation defaults on Surviving Slashdotting with a Small Server · · Score: 1

    My server was once slashdotted. It's Duron with 256 RAM and 100mbit connection. Hardware wasn't a problem. When I tried to increase maximum clients limit to 512, Apache informed me by the logs, that maximum clients count is 256. To increase that limit, one have to change one define in config.h and _recompile_ Apache. You have to think about slashdotting while putting server on. Changes in configuration files often do not help.
