  1. Re:Clarifications on GNOME, Security, Linux, and Cable Modems? · · Score: 2

    Take your Ritalin Garth. Although I use OpenBSD on my site, I've found that a locked down slackware/debian box is no less secure than OpenBSD. The code audit / secure by default stuff is nice though.

  2. Quit your whining use ipchains on GNOME, Security, Linux, and Cable Modems? · · Score: 3

    Just set up a quick ipchains ruleset to filter those ports IPCHAINS-HOWTO Thanks for bringing it to our attention though.

  3. Re:amusingly on End of an Era: Forum 2000 Closes · · Score: 1

    So you never got to hook up with that italian chick huh? I can never figure out what she's saying.

  4. Re:Artificial intelligence on End of an Era: Forum 2000 Closes · · Score: 2

    I think Ayn Rand would have been a slashdot troll. "The GPL is CRIMINAL"
    "Using OSS defies Reason"

  5. Hall of Fame on End of an Era: Forum 2000 Closes · · Score: 2

    Forum 2000 Hall of Fame is cool too. Go there. Amuse yourself. In the words of SOMAD Tux: "Good luck and remember- Windows sucks. Use Linux!"

  6. Re:nooooooo!!!!! on End of an Era: Forum 2000 Closes · · Score: 2

    I think she would be referring to the fact that people are giving away GPL-ed software which is inconsistant with reason. (hee)

  7. Any more info? on HP Plans The Uber-Calculator · · Score: 2

    serial ports? usb? (ETHERNET??!!??)? IDE? SCSI?

  8. CDDB on Using Fractals To Classify Music · · Score: 2

    Stuff like CDDB could be built upon and used to store meta-inofrmation of this kind. Pretty cool if you ask me. XML will be the tool of choice.

  9. Offtopic (but don't mod down please) on Classic Browsers Given New Life · · Score: 1
    Is it me or are half the /. submissions -- like this one mentioned on other sites first such as memepool kuro5hin (rip), technocrat, memepool, HNN or any of the other countless weblogs? From memepool:
    Monday Jul 31, 2000 Relive the sloth-like speed, nightmarish user interfaces, and new-car smell of the web browsers of yesteryear, at Dejavu.org.
  10. NEVER on Evolution 0.3 Released · · Score: 2

    I WILL READ MY MAIL WITH MUTT FOREVER. Or until I can use Evolution remotely as easily as i can mutt (or elm or pine)

  11. Re:I've heard the NSA funds stuff. on Ask The NSA About Certain Things · · Score: 1

    heh.... GPL violaters

  12. Re:Excellent! on FreeBSD 4.1 Released · · Score: 1

  13. I've heard the NSA funds stuff. on Ask The NSA About Certain Things · · Score: 5

    I've heard the NSA fund research in stuff it is interested in (crypto, math, high-performance computing). What are the chances the NSA would fund some mutially beneficial open source projects?

  14. Is this the same Brian Martin who runs Attrition on Against Intellectual Property · · Score: 2

    Is this the same Brian Martin who runs Attrition.org and does a lot of security crap?

  15. Cool! on IETF To Develop Anti-DoS ICMP · · Score: 2

    This itrace crap will be used for legitimate traceroute type stuff and I imagine for network mapping also. Anyone have any ideas on how this can be used in a sysadmin's network toolkit (besides finding DoS attacks)?

  16. Not to get your hopes up on GTK-Themes To Be Supported By KDE2 · · Score: 3

    but the KDE page says GTK pixmap themes. Most GTK themes use another themes engine. pixmap themes aren't always the greatest speed wise (or appearancewise -- look at the "pixmap" theme!)

  17. RMS on Interbase Open Source Release · · Score: 3

    RMS' eyeball is going to explode if any other companies release an Open Source program (under a QT-ish or MPL-ish) license and call it Free Software.

  18. The Difference between Hunkapiller and Gates on The Hunkapiller Syndrome · · Score: 3

    The difference between Hunkapiller and Gates is that no one envisions a world with a gene sequencer on every desktop!

  19. Re:Specs         (karma whorin on Sony Announces GScube Development System · · Score: 1

    heh. Look at my user info page... I actually have decent comments.

  20. Re:Specs         (karma whorin on Sony Announces GScube Development System · · Score: 1

    yes. Why are you replying to all my comments BTW?

  21. Development? on Sony Announces GScube Development System · · Score: 2

    How much would one of these cost? Hopefully they'll provide PS2 dev tools with one.

  22. Re:Can you imagine..... on Specs On New SGI Onyx And Origin · · Score: 2

    Well.... before we can support 512 processor MIPS boxen we need to support single processor and dual processor.... IMHO low end multiprocessor SGI box support is where Linux needs to go on the SGI architecture

  23. Can you imagine..... on Specs On New SGI Onyx And Origin · · Score: 1

    A beowolf cluster of these?
    seriously -- Does/Can/Will Linux/*BSD be able to scale to something like this? I know SGI supports Linux on their x86 boxes, but do they encourage Linux/MIPS development? SGI: Send Linus, Alan and friends some of these!

  24. Re:Microsoft Smokescreen on Caldera Close To Buying SCO Unix · · Score: 1

    That's BULLSHIT

  25. Sun buying Tarentella (Star Office?) on Caldera Close To Buying SCO Unix · · Score: 2

    In the article it mentioned the possibility that SCO's Tarentella (application) division might get bought by Sun. This is interesting considering that one domain mentioned in association with Sun's Open Sourcing of Star Office, openoffice.org, is in fact owned by Caldera!
