  1. Re:And among other things, READ YOUR OWN POST on Darwin 6.0.2 for x86 Released · · Score: 1

    Yup, what you said. I intended to make a clever comment about them saying "other UNIX releases don't use root passwords", but my fingers were going faster than my brain.

  2. Re:And among other things, it's not multiuser... on Darwin 6.0.2 for x86 Released · · Score: 1

    Oooppps...it IS multiuser, just not until you change it from the default of "root, no password" and add a few more users.

    Hehe...sorry...I guess I'll read my own posts from now on.

  3. And among other things, it's not multiuser... on Darwin 6.0.2 for x86 Released · · Score: 0

    Here's a snip from the FAQ:

    Q. What can I do with Darwin, and how do I log in to it?

    A. Darwin currently includes the Apache web server, sendmail, and some other services. By default, there is only one account (root) with no password, as with most UNIX systems. You can create additional accounts using standard UNIX tools.

  4. Cheaper solution on Air Bags for Planetary Defense · · Score: 1

    Put two or three Tahoes up there. When the asteroid runs into them, the airbags will inflate.

    We've got a few in the US we can spare, I'm sure.

    Oh, and needless to say, we can take the stereos and leather seats out first.

  5. I have a crate on NASA Contour Probe May Not Be Broken After All · · Score: 1

    I can sell you a crate stamped with "NASA Voyager Mission 1".

    Or maybe I should put it on eBay.

  6. Re:So when you have a bad disk... on IBM Developing Lego-like Storage Brick · · Score: 2, Funny

    A quote from the article: "A central tenant is you leave it alone," said Wilcke.

    So when the tenant dies, you leave him in his apartment. Eeeew.

    I hope they actually meant "tenet".

  7. Re:somebody do the math for me cause im lazy on Cray's New Solid State Storage · · Score: 1

    Assuming 128Kbps...
    And assuming there's two bits of overhead per byte...
    And assuming then that the average song is 3 minutes long (that's average airplay songs for you - if you like Iron Butterfly, go with 17 minutes in your calculation)...

    That's (3*60)*(128/10) = 2,304 * 1,024 = 2,359,296 bytes per song.

    Then, 226,000,000,000 bytes (assuming 1,000,000,000 bytes per GB, since we're talking a hardware vendor here...) divided by (2,359,296) =

    95,791 whole songs available instantly.

  8. Hmmm... on Cray's New Solid State Storage · · Score: 3, Funny

    None on EBay yet...

    Well, looks like I'll have to wait a few weeks.

  9. My favorite part of the article? on Tracking Spam to the Source · · Score: 2, Insightful
