  1. Re:great... on March To Be Month of PHP Bugs · · Score: 1

    mysqli supports bound parameters, http://us2.php.net/mysqli just because people use the mysql module instead of mysqli doesnt mean php doesn't support them. just skiddie apps don't. Also looking forward to see what they do reveal in the month.

  3. Re:I wouldn't do it on Ethics of Proxy Servers? · · Score: 1

    You're supposing that the things that these schools are trying to block access to are not learning. By contrast, most people I know who are good with computers got there by doing things that authorities (parents, schools, ...) did not want them to do.

    And in practice most schools limit, but are still easy enough to bypass. some will find solutions that already exist (web proxys) and some will create their own solution.
    The computers at my school were barely locked down, We could run *Nix from live CD's(Hell I was first introduced to a copy of linux when somone brought in a knoppix and RH cd's) or wipe the current OS if we wanted.

    Interestingly enough a couple years ago back when I was in hs I actually was using a *.mine.nu address (which I have since let that domain expire) to my home computer which was using a sort of crudely written reverse proxy I had made, Crudely since I wasn't motivated enough to make it work with POST data, meh.

    It was only used between about 3 people. I don't think it ever got reported though.

  9. Re:Will games still need admin access? on Vista To Be An Indie Games Killer? · · Score: 1

    games could reasonably require admin if they need direct access to the hardware, but most games use some api wrapper now like DirectX, opengl. I wonder if raw sockets are usable in vista at all...

    well regardless of what it is actually monitoring once people find out that something is better they tend to swarm to it, possible at rates that the provider would be unable to provide the said reliable service to.

  14. Re:Same old. on AMD Reveals Plans to Move Beyond the Core Race · · Score: 1
    It seems to me that Intel has adopted a strategy that is designed more for marketing than for innovation.
    hmm, reminds me of Microsoft, considering they started out with only a marketing budget and nothing to sell.

  15. Re:And of course Linus is right... on Linus Puts Kibosh On Banning Binary Kernel Modules · · Score: 1

    The reason behind banning binary modules is that they cant be maintained or updated. The kernel API does change and they actually go around and update the modules that use the old versions of the api to the new one. this is done to help keep the kernel size down and remove bloat of supporting the kernel interface to an ubiquitous number of old versions which would then still have the bugs associated with them.

    its not always an issue with some modules but it is what keeps the kernel from using ~87mb memory for the kernel like my xp machine is doing. granted the windows kernel deals with a few more things that are not offloaded to a piece of software for the job like the 7-9 versions of directx it has to support at any given time.

  16. Re:Not everything, just video on Linux Kernel to Include KVM Virtualization · · Score: 1

    I've noticed that running a Linux vm inside windows that the display was a bit sluggish. my short fix was actually just using vnc to connect to the vm since that seemed to work great.

    In the end i had not set up the driver to the vmware driver and fixing that allowed it to run fine in the full screen console and across dual monitors just fine.

    forgot the part about dns names, aside from the services from .tk and others that do redirects and iframes.

    dyndns.org is also a fairly nice server which does offer free (sub).domains from their hosts plus some other stuff with a price tag. to bad their account services page has become a bit over cluttered since i first used them.
