  1. I have the 750GB version. on New Seagate Drives Have Real Difficulties With Linux · · Score: 1

    I have the 750GB (USB2) version connected to CentOS 5 running VMWare clients hosted on it with no problems. This is a dev box and do not host production on it. All I did was use Acronis Disk Director to shrink the NTFS partition and create a new ext3 partition and mount it.

    I'm having success with it, then maybe I'm just lucky thus far...

  2. I keep hearing this on Airlines to Offer In-Flight Internet Service · · Score: 1

    I keep hearing say this is coming, but when is someone actually going to go through with actually doing it?

  3. Connecticut? on Verizon Offers 20/20 Symmetrical FiOS Service · · Score: 1

    They should just say parts of the town of Greenwich, because FiOS service only covers parts of a single city (Greenwich) in Connecticut. The Byram area of Greenwich is the only place I've seen have FiOS service.

  4. Their grubby little hands on MySQL to Get Injection of Google Code · · Score: 0, Troll

    Damnit, Google is just like Microsoft. They always have to get their grubby little hands on everyone elses good stuff. Forkit, I'm forking it! :)

  5. Re:The real culprit here on Debian Refuses To Push Timezone Update For NZ DST · · Score: 1

    It's not about what you believe to be correct. It's about what people use. Maybe it's you (and Debian maintainers) that have the problem here. Think about it. All the commercial OSs release the update, yet someone that controls something that is non-profit decides he is right and everyone else is wrong. The reason the commercial OSs release it? Because people use it!

  6. Turtleboy on DOS 5 Upgrade Video · · Score: 1

    The Turtleboy video link below it (http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1754381') was far more amusing. :)

  7. Yeah on Canada's Copyright Cops Give Go-Ahead For iPod Tax · · Score: 1

    Taxation without Representation. Rebel people! The start of a new revolution! It's July 4th 1776 all over again!

  8. Isn't it obvious? on Facebook In Court · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I just wonder why they waited so long to sue? If he really stole their idea in 2003, why wait four years?"

    It's obvious. Starting a business is A LOT of work. Why not let someone else do it, then step in and take the bankroll?

  9. I actually do! on New Web Metric Likely To Hurt Google · · Score: 1

    "This is likely to affect Google's ranking because while users visit the site often, they don't usually spend much time there.

    Research + tabbed browsing = lots of time on Google.

    I do lots of research on many things. Once I have search results, I generally just open each found result in a new tab leaving Google's search result open at all times.

  10. Re:Hmm... on Google to Acquire Postini · · Score: 1

    Umm. Postini != DSPAM + Spamassassin.

    Postini is a fully managed service. DSPAM and Spamassassin is not.

    I have used Spamassassin and Postini (not DSPAM) Postini is a cakewalk, Spamassassin while good, is not. Postini offers many things that DSPAN and Spamassassin does not. Like email spooling among other things. I think the best part of Postini is that I don't have to manage the hardware and software. I create Postini accounts and thats about it.

    Also, I do not allow any connections originating from the outside to connect to our Exchange servers except Postini's. That alone to me is worth the price by itself. Top it off with virus and spam filtering and I'm happy. I have almost zero management concerning virus and spam filtering.

  11. 7th grade science project on NASA Purchases $19M Russian Space Toilet · · Score: 1

    NASA says purchasing the multi million dollar toilet is a bargain compared to developing one from scratch."

    I created a zero gravity shitter for my 7th grade science project. I would have sold it to them for half that price. :)

  12. Objection on Blackberry "Spy" Software Released · · Score: 1

    Robertson said an average user that maintains good [gadget] hygiene would never see the software loaded onto their device without their knowledge.'"

    This is speculation. I don't care how good you *think* you are about protecting something. There is no way you can say it will "Never" be compromised. Same goes for Blackberries and any other *thing* of any sort. This statement is nothing more than *spin* or damage control.

  13. I'm ready for it to happen. on Universal Refuses To Renew On iTunes · · Score: 1

    I'm ready for a Music Industry Apocalypse. Like Chicago in 1909, let it burn to the ground. It will be rebuilt with more ethics in mind rather than selfish greed.

  14. Lies, all lies on Desperately Seeking Xen · · Score: 3, Informative

    Another question hanging over Xen performance concerns the availability of paravirtualized drivers for Windows.

    This isn't true completely. The problem is you cannot get these drivers by downloading the OpenSource Xen. You MUST buy the XenSource version. If you run Windows on the *complete* open source version, your network throughput is going to suck like you would not believe. You have to use the XenSource version to get the paravirtualized drivers that bring the network performance closer to what it should be. Virtual Iron has a set of drivers also. (which I believe are better than Xen's, but don't hold me to that)

    I found a lot of great insight about virtualizing from Xen to VMWare to Virtual Iron and others on this site. http://ian.blenke.com/xen

  15. Social Addiction on Doctor Urges AMA To Classify Gaming Addiction · · Score: 1

    It's not a gaming addiction, it's a social addiction. Most of the people are addicted to MMORPG. It's not the game, it's the socializing aspect of the game. A lot of players are socially defunct in normal situations, but the games become a buffer allowing people to have something in common.

  16. Re:Simple is good. on Safari 3 vs. Firefox 2 and IE7 · · Score: 1

    Options & Choice. Yes, I think it is a bad thing. I happen to use both Opera and Firefox. (at the same time!) While I agree a lot of the time I just want a stripped down tool to do the job without all the fluff, but with the Internet experience and all it encompasses; a browser has to do more than just render text.

  17. Re:Slashdotted. Usenet/Google mirrors on Torvalds vs Schwartz GPL Wars · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I was reading a one-way street (only able to read Jonathan's comments) in this story. :)

  18. FAT Filesystem on Apple Confirms No (Default) ZFS In Leopard · · Score: 1

    Users of the future operating system will have to keep working with HFS+, a filesystem that is almost ten years old now.

    They should be using a more mature filesystem like FAT which is thirty one (1976) years old rather than an immature youngster like HFS+ that is only ten years old. ;)

  19. Maybe on Company Aims To Patent Security Patches · · Score: 1

    Maybe, this will finally be the straw that breaks the software patent camel's back.

  20. ZFS on Sun CEO Says ZFS Will Be 'the File System' for OSX · · Score: 1

    I think ZFS on Mac is a great idea, and I'm not even an Apple Fanboy. What I want is ZFS ported to Linux, (not via FUSE) but that would require Sun to change or dual license ZFS to allow it. (Currently under the CDDL license I beleive)

  21. Re:Vista on Vista Trademark Holder Sues Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Bamboo under the finger nails maybe?

  22. Vista on Vista Trademark Holder Sues Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Vista is a single word, it is a common word, and it's in the dictionary. Whomever allowed such a trademark should not be allowed to have any job that requires any type of logical thought. Maybe if he had Trademarked "Tele Vista" and it was Microsoft's Tele Vista, he would have some sort of case thought probably not.

  23. Gee it's hot in here. on HardOCP Spends 30 Days With MacOSX · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Let the flaming begin!

  24. Anyone who can play by ear on Guitartabs.com Suspends Under Legal Pressure · · Score: 1

    Anyone who can play by ear should be sued every time they listen to music.

    On top of that, if you play a song written by someone else at a gig or even in your own home you are infringing on said persons copyrights and should be burned at the stakes.

    Why does the music industry want to kill itself so badly?

  25. Ok on 'Eolas' Browser Plug-in Patent Case Rises Again · · Score: 1

    All Slashdot users apply for the same patent. Then we can all fight for the baby.
