  1. Re:fedora 4 and filesystems on Red Hat Fedora Core 4 Test 1 Now Available · · Score: 2, Informative

    try saying:

    linux xfs

    at the "boot:" prompt (ditto reiserfs)

  2. Use a combination on Failing Grades For Most Anti-Spyware Tools · · Score: 1

    I personally recommend Ad-Aware and S&D to my friends; it's been effective, methinks.

    The most important thing is: if they must run Windows, a combination of those two kill the usual culprits.

  3. alt.suicide.holiday on Death by Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Check their FAQ. Long story short: caffeine CAN kill you. I don't remember the quantity. Google is your friend, and YMMV.

  4. Re:Indoctrinating Excel on The Subtle Tyranny Of Spreadsheets · · Score: 1
    You said:
    time tracking, time estimation


    Try reading Joel on Software
  5. DDoS on Sobig Worm Attacking RBL Lists? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Everyone on the various anti-spam mailing lists and newsgroups were thinking that these worms were creating a network of spam proxies.

    Maybe they were creating a network of DDoS zombies.

  6. Re:Go OpenBSD! on OpenBSD Gains Privilege Elevation · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I run this fun little operating system on a produciton machine. 20 days away from one year uptime

    PLEASE UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM, DAMMIT!

  7. History repeating itself? on Is IBM on a Strategic Path to Control Java? · · Score: 1
    • HP+Compaq
    • IBM+Sun

    I'd say the dinosaurs are mating... (check the jargon file)
  8. Microsoft points out research from Gartner on Microsoft Says Windows More Reliable Than Sun · · Score: 1

    Unless I'm totally mistaken, Gartner had lost some face with a bogus study they've made some time ago. But who believes them? Am I supposed to believe them now?

  9. You said IE? on Filtering Internet in Public Libraries · · Score: 1
    You said Internet Explorer? OK. Here goes:
    <html>

    <head>
    <title>The bug in IE</title>
    <script language=JavaScript>
    function writeURL ()
    {
    document.open ();
    document.write ("<a href=\"" +document.jonas_valjonas.aznag.value+"\">Link</a>" );
    document.close ();
    }
    </script>
    </head>

    <body>
    <form name="jonas_valjonas" onSubmit="javascript:writeUrl();">
    <input name=aznag type=text>
    <input type=submit>
    </form>
    </body>

    </html>
  10. [long]Open the eys of the world: Any spokeperson? on Software Licensing, 2001 · · Score: 1

    Summarizing, I've learn a lot around /., but are slashdotters good lobbyists? And even so, we can make thunders roll in the techo-babble world, but my mother doesn't look at slashdot; most of the people who I hang around with don't.

    Meanwhile, in *my* country (Portugal), there are people who look at US laws (read habits or culture), and think that what they see is good.

    So, the problem is with the widespread fear of tech, and with the old myth that "US *is* right."

    What we need is to *open* those minds. Like Nicholas Vining said, the important is public awareness.

    But public awareness brings me to think of something *I* feel EVERY SINGLE DAY: I'm an outcast! I'm writing this in a room full of computers (I've installed Linux in all of them), but I'm the only one NOT running Machosoft Windows. The same happens with teachers, they don't even know about OUR world.

    What we need is someone with social recognition who can uphold our standars and thinking in the mass-media world.

    We've got some media attention around here: The second to most popular channel in Portugal once made a story for the evening news about some students who ran Linux on their laptops. But the 'kids' spoke like evangelizing. It didn't work. I've never seen another story about Linux in my TV set.
