Can anyone recommend a good book/web site for learning about this sort of DSL/T1 telco stuff? I'm pretty savvy on the LAN (Ethernet) side, but I don't even know the differance between a CSU and a DSU as far as telco goes.
Where in the HELL is the real info on this bug? Microsoft's release is just a bunch of fluff, spelling everything out so that even an MCSE could understand it. What MIME types? How am I supposed to filter this out for my users without any information.
Anyone have a link? I have a feeling if I don't have this procmailed tonight, there are going to be lots of support calls tomarrow.
You use the word "own", in regards to code. I'm curious if that's equivalent to the copyright, or something more. It would help me understand future employment contracts I may sign.
iptables is stateful, while ipchains was stateless. This means real NAT is possible.
How does stateful packet inspection affect NAT? My understanding of NAT is there are three types, many-to-many, many-to-one (linux's "Masqurading"), and many-to-few. These all work perfectly well with linux 2.2, as far as I know...
RAID and LVM. The good, so called "alpha", drivers are in this kernel.
Good as in features, alpha as in current status? Good as in stable, alpha as in, from the alpha architechture port?
I have 2 Promise ATA100 cards in these beast also, for a total of 6 IDE channels.
Curious... according to ls/dev/hd?, linux only supports 8 ide devices, which would be 4 channels. Are the offboard IDE cards you can by possible to boot off of? Can you disable the onboard IDE it it's two channels "suck", and use all offboard cards?
once the rail link is in between siberia and alaska, russia isn't just connected to alaska, but to all of canada and the whole US. Which in turn actually connects 5 of the 7 continents. Sure a plane might be faster for personal travel, but this could have a big impact for cargo. And once the tunnel is in place, the rail is easy enough to replace as 250 mph+ magnetic trains are developed.
Isn't it legal to develop code against a patent, as long as it's not used in the U.S. where the patent exsists? OpenSSH used RSA while it was patented here, and U.S. users were supposed to obtain a license from RSA Data Securities. Can't FreeType do the same... say that U.S. users are required to get a license from Apple?

Gimp 1.2.0 Released
·
· Score: 1
I believe a complete rewrite is in the works as we speak, for some of the very reasons you mention... The web page or CVS tree should have more info for you. I remember checking out a gimp-1.3 tree from cvs about a year ago which only consisted of a bit of documentation explaining what was going to be done post 1.2.
I dont remember any of the specifics, I'm not a graphics person...
Stop posting or linking to ANYTHING about Kurt Seifried, or any responce to anything about Kurt Seifried. If you want a responce to any of his articles, here you go: "bullshit". He doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. He's some script kiddie who decided to start writing National Enquirer-style about cracking (which he calls hacking). I recently subscribed to SysAdmin magazine, and guess who's doing the security articles? Guess who won't be renewing their subscription. Any magazine that could publish this crud is obviously not conserned with factual information.
Great reply... I wish slashdot had a feature that allowed people to (+1, Thanks) replies to their comments. Doesn't seem very abusable...
Thanks for that info...stuff like
"You can think of SDL as a more powerful version of GLUT."
is info not mentioned on the projects page, but for mortal users, greatly helps to visualize the part each plays. Sure, it may be a bit over simplified, or only 99% accurate, but for curious users just trying to understand the system without reading the source, it's a big help.
One followup question...in Xfree4, if you have DRI working, is all 3d rendering through Mesa done as direct rendering? Windowed and fullscreen? I seem to remember only some applications actually could/would use the DRI. http://dri.sourceforge.net/components.jpg shows a "DRI module" in XFree and the Kernel, under the 2d and indirect rendering, which seems a bit off...
I'm also glad to hear Xfree4 uses the whole Mesa base... I had the impression before it was mostly replaced. I had a lot of trouble installing Mesa and the glide crud in xfree3, this new system actually sounds pretty simple for the user, which is great news.
Is there any text that explains the new XFree 4 infrastructure in plain english?
you've got:
DRI,
GL, GLU, GLUT, GLX,
Mesa,
Utah GLX,
SDL...
I know very little about X/video rendering, but I'd like to upgrade to XFree4 and actually know what pieces of the puzzle i need.
Does DRI replace Mesa? Does Utah GLX replace DRI for cards it supports? Is Mesa even needed? Is plain Mesa included in the Xfree source tree, or is it a fork? If I don't have a 3d card, does mesa still install as a software renderer? Does this give better performace over the 1fps syndrome in xfree3/windows95? Are any of the projects I named obsoluted by the new infrastructure? (utah glx comes to mind...)
maybe someone here can explain it on a level somewhere in between the "gimme URLs of the RPMs so i can upgrade my redhat box" and the in-depth developer documentation on the dri/utah glx pages.
Hopefully any responce would also give others the confidence to take on this new infrastructure.
Also, does the new "render" extention take effect automatically for all new programs compiled that link to the standard libraries?
I dont. I dont need a transparent "Eterm", or the-bloat-that-is-Gnome. Most people have no legal use for MPEG4 compression. The software that works today will be all I need even when I'm running it on a Pentium 12 (or hopefully, a non-chipzilla chip) in 20 years.
And I'll have you know that my precious P2/266 compiles a kernel in under 10 minutes.
Intel's new Marchitechture... 6 years away, if they solve all the heat issues. I dunno about the rest of the/. audiance, but my P2/266 is still plenty fast. It runs fvwm2 as fast as the day I got it, three years ago. And I predict it will run xterm just as fast in another three years.

actually, mac multitasking is a joke... the architechture may be better then x86, but the OS driving it sure isnt
you miss the big picture.

Only 8 years untill most of the patents expire. Decent X rendering in 2009? Hooray!

Is linux M13 compliant?
yeah... i should get those 4 karma points though, for asking such great questions!

Thanks again!
Also... whats the deal with fonts?
theres freetype, and freetype 2... previously these ran as some sort of external server, which I never messed with (sounded like an ugly hack)...
Does xfree4 have freetype built in? Does it have to run some goofy daemon for them?
Is there any text that explains the new XFree 4 infrastructure in plain english?

What an ingenious strategy...
to send customers running to competitors...
oh wait, there are none, since TimeWarner and at&t have illegal non-compete agreements
How about we get some press coverage of these patents BEFORE they're granted. It would be alot easier to do something.
Can we get someone with clue on the damn patent board, already? I propose Taco.
