  1. Re:Not just an Apache bug on Fix For Apache DoS Bug In the Pipes · · Score: 2

    Apache's implementation problems go beyond the protocol specs. The sample attack codes includes invalid ranges in the request (E.g start at 5, end at 0). So the protocol specs aren't the only thing to blame. Also, the fact that apache is the only server to be crippled by this issue is a strong data point against putting all blame on the protocol.

  2. Re:7-Player Bomberman on the Sega Saturn on Time-Tested Gaming · · Score: 1

    Actually the game went up to 8 players in the normal res mode and up to 10 (all human if you wanted) in the funky high-res maps.

  3. Re:Not needed on Useful Apps for First-Time Windows Users? · · Score: 1
    Also, anyone designing a web site pretty much has to test it with Internet Exploder. Boot Camp is the alternative to wasting desk space for a Dell.

    Waste desk space... why? Just put a headless windows box under the desk and rdp into it from the mac.

    Um, having been beaten up on several occasions by "drunken assholery"


    on several occasions?? I somehow think you must be doing something wrong... or at least hanging out at the wrong places.
  6. Re:Just goes to show on Operation Fastlink Nets 1000s in Pirate Sting · · Score: 1
    But taking software/songs/movies without paying for them is harmful to the people that put it together. And don't think for a minute it's hurting the label/movie executives. It's hurting the few people they're going to lay off when their revenue dips.


    But paying overly high prices for software/songs/movies doesn't especially help the little guys either.. just pads their bosses wallets.

    While piracy might not be the answer, supporting the current, rape the artist/programmer/writter schemes isn't so much better.

    We need to work on supporting a new option... where the people putting the real effort into the product are properly compensated.
  7. Re:disinfo.com is nice, but... on Disinformation.com · · Score: 1

    You know, it's kind of funny how "fair" almost always means "left". :-)

    Well if you actually looked up the definition to the word liberal, you'd find that fair is a pretty good synonym.

    liberal Pronunciation Key (lbr-l, lbrl)
    adj.

    a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.

    b. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.

    I'm still waiting for all this free mp3 trading to actually make Albulm sales go down.

  9. Re:Wasted words on Stallman: Thousands Dead, Millions Deprived of Liberties · · Score: 2, Funny

    This would have gone over much better if it didn't have that last line. Now, over half of Americans that reads Stallman's message will discount the entire message because of one politically motivated, inflammatory, and false phrase.


    Of course, anyone who would discount an entire message because of one politically motived phrase is clearly a member of the stupid half of the Americans.
  10. portable non-portables on Full Powered, Compact, Gaming Rigs? · · Score: 1

    A while ago my step Father built a system using an old brief case as the case to his Dual PII machine. Some glue and a drill were the main tools needed.. He had to be real careful about the size of the Cards he put in the machine, some of them were just too big... he even sawed part of one of the cards down to get it to fit. But in the end its a pretty nice setup... real convienent for carring around (like to LAN parties (: )

  11. Good book on Michael Abrash's Black Book For Download · · Score: 1

    I bought his book like 4 years ago and it was pretty much dated then (assembly was definitly already on its way out). Still a very interesting read. Optimizations from the master

  12. Re:Europe vs. America: No reason to smirk on Linux on Jeopardy · · Score: 1

    Minix is a unix like operating system for x86 systems written as an education tool by Andrew S. Tanenbaum. Linux is originally based off it though... I've generally seen both Li-nucks and Lie-nucks (based on the American pronouciation of Linus) as accepted pronouciations
