  1. Re:Year 2010? on South Korea Plans National 100 Mbps Network · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sure the koreans are not that stupid, wiring everything with 100mbit meaning they'll probably put cat5 cables with 8 wires, which means the transition to 1000mbit will be easy.
    And when in 2010 a korean kid will packet you with a 1gb connection, we'll see who's laughing.
    By the way, i'm not korean.
    KEKEKEKEKEKKEKEKEKE KTHX.

  2. HP has it for quite some time already on Ghost for Unix · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Working with HP-UX at work, i got the chance to work with the Ignite backup tool HP provides to backup their machines.
    In a big cluster there is always the need that computers be as identical as possible so troubleshooting problems is easier when they take place on some computers simultanuesly.
    you just mk_recovery > /dev/0m and it dumps an image to your DLT tape, you take the tape, put it in the victim machine, boot from it, it puts the image on the new hard drive (assuming there's enough space on it), you boot it again, and you have an identical machine to the one you've taken the image from, kinda neat, but works only for HP machines running HP-UX 10.20 and later.
    Putting all together, g4u could possibly help deploying that technology to other unices which are non-proprioty.
    May the developers continue their good job with their innovatives ideas.

  3. Re:Woohoo on GPL'ed 3D Modeler And Renderer · · Score: 1

    it's about time... now i can just go and fart on my friend saying : "now you got no excuses to not use linux... hahhahaha, use linux now, or else i dont talk to you..." EOF.

  4. Re:Good News on KDE 2 To Be Included In Debian · · Score: 1

    i'm in the same opinion as yours. it's about time that all distro's will include kde, the very useful and good desktop environment. and a word to all open source gnome zealots : if you dont admit kde is better than gnome, so just stop using gnome because it "kills" kde.

  5. Re:*shrug* it happens... on ISPs Victimizing DoS Victims? · · Score: 1

    Did you pay at the end? What did your Friend say about it? - he should've taken the responsibility, after all.....

    Hey, now we have a solid reason to sue M$ and put Bill at home, ummm, jail.

  7. Re:More thoughts... on Why Dr. Tom Dislikes Rambus, Inc. · · Score: 1

    Intel had nothing to lose, just another DRAM company on their right hand. But i still can't believe yet how a bit, "reliable" company like Intel would do that, but who cares, the Athlon is stronger than the Coppermine ;)

  8. it's real.... on Black Holes Don't Exist??? · · Score: 1

    In my opinion, with not really knowing GR, black holes are likely to be real, yet i cant believe that for 30 years, so many scientists are still wrong, and i think that who is wrong is that group of scientists, who claims it doesnt exist. Besides, in the article itself they say that weird math brings us to infinity numbers and such, they find it wrong, i dont, infinity number is still a number, and if they bring it as an argument to break theories, i find it queer. Black holes are real, it's reasonable, and it cant be that Albert was wrong...

  9. cool to diap up other IP's... on Cisco's IP Phones - Seven Digits And Cat5 · · Score: 1

    Indeed a cool phone, but if every phone will have a unique IP, always, and that will be something implanted in the phone itself, and not something that will be retained from a server, that will cause heaps of troubles, like many crackers will decide they want that particular number, and a little of hardware change will let them do that, think about it...

  10. Re:Let Metallica Corporation DIE!! on Napster Bans Metallica Fans · · Score: 1

    First, moderate this one up, that's an important point. As a real big GPL fan, i think that free information is a very good thing, yet in that way, things will advance much faster. So hey, you metallica crapping singers, look at me, you want to advance? - take a lesson from GPL, let it also be free, you got enough mony anyways, eh?

  11. napster are not right on Ask Metallica About Napster · · Score: 1

    Napster are not right, but i chose that option, because i just think that metallica are very wrong. so i'd suggest to add another option, something like : Metallica are wrong.

  12. Re:free songs? on Ask Metallica About Napster · · Score: 1

    i'd like to repharse your question and make it general : Many people who trade mp3s are trading them in order to learn about the music of that band, so why pay so much if youre not sure if you want the game or not? something parallel to demo's of games, if you, Mettallica, will shut down napster you might lose many people who dont know you, and might become your future fans, are you aware of that?

  13. Re:Go forth my minions. on Controlling Your Computer with Your Brain · · Score: 1

    unreal turnament will never be the same indeed. and maybe after planting mind feedback in those devices, you will also feel it when you get shot. mind reading is one thing, but mind writing is another, dangerous, complicated, but i think it's possible indeed, and that will be the next break through in that field.

  14. good story... nice company on GPL Violation - NVIDIA · · Score: 1

    As a freak of 3DFX devices, i now realize how much Nvidia is decent, if a company does a mistake, on a thing that is quite important, at least to me, and they are willing to fix it, i say, go Nvidia go, i love you, now i apriciate you more, next card i buy is nvidia, just because you respect GPL so much....

  15. Re:It's all a balance on Pollution Lowers Intelligence? · · Score: 1

    evulotion, but not that kind, we'll probably evolve to humans who can handle larger amounts of CO2 in the air, and not to green people... we might do that, as we said, were getting dumber, so getting green suddenly is not likely, at least not from my point of view, at this time.

  16. Re:Until MS comes along ... on The Short Life And Hard Times Of A Linux Virus · · Score: 1

    viruses will infect and destroy only weak machines, human body, windows, for example. so you cant say it's for all machines, in my opinion, infecting a unix OS with a virus, is like infecting a toaster with a virus, yet, both are very stable things. viruses for windows mostly came because of bored programmers, having nothing to do with such a weak OS as this, while in unix, you can always see sweet innovations of many programmers, i mean, useful programs, and very little programs that will harm your system. on every exploit, will come a patch, if that was your next question. i'm short with time, people are chasing me out of computer room ahhh!

  17. redicoluos school... on Linux & Education - How To Get It For Your School · · Score: 1

    my admin, who should know a little about unix even, the most he did is installing red hat 5.2 on his old 386, i appriciate it, but till here, he didnt let me and my friend to install linux on an old P90 in the computer room, it's a boarding school. we wanted it just to compile things, this P90 is not even useable, we promised him to make it useable, but he didnt agree, and that's funny in my opinion...

  18. heardof that crap once before on The Great Firewall Of China · · Score: 1

    the source where i read it is kind of weird, in my english grammer book (i'm from israel), in a reading comprehension, where it was told there that the religous people , the very religous one are having proxies, censoring sensetive information. i think the whole idea seems rather stupid than weird, yet, the net is free, for free, and for free people. so the heck that is stupid in my opinion, think about it.

  19. Re:Why no official Unix client? on Interview With The Creator of Napster on ZDnet · · Score: 1

    in my opinion it would have been better if he would first build a unix version of napster, letting the good community benefit from good things, and then let microsoft and maybe other big coperations to port it to windows, if they still want to attract people. yet if it would have been developed for unix, things would be much more secure, the napster for windows is really insecure indeed. altogether, if you know unix, first develop for unix, then let the others port it if they want and do the black work.

  20. A New Age on Sunlight + Algae = Hydrogen fuel · · Score: 1

    oil consumes, and we see we are standing in a new age. this new source of energy, as i see it, of it's quite easy production, machines and other things that needs a source of energy might start to relay on these new source instead of oil. i've waited for a new source of energy for years, yet i'm on of the cold fusion fans, which wants a cleaner environment, and a better source of energy. in one line - it is good weve found a new source of energy which i hope we could relay on.

  21. a few points i'd like to... on AMD's David to Intel's Goliath · · Score: 1

    i must say that article was really interesting, and made me sit till 2 am reading it nervously and happily. i, personnally on the side of AMD in the whole story, think about the typical israeli, which is not very rich, and can't really afford a PII, so i bought a K6-2. note that i'm also not rushing after brand names, and always willing to take chance. AMD CPU's are rock solid, and anyone can afford them. i remember the little AMD company about a year, going to close it's doors, drasticlly dropping it's CPU prices, at that time, i knew i'll buy AMD. AMD also never rushed to buy a new board always, the K6 line is a ver good sullotion for super socket 7 boards, which went in very good. the athlon, the athlon is almost not avalible in where i live, and if it is, it is very expensive, and only very few people can afford it, at least now. as for now, AMD is in the lead, and i like it, but i dont want to see intel fading, i want them fighting as long as they can, so i can still buy these rock solid, bug free AMD CPU's. after i read in the article that the sullotion of intel for a buggy CPU and chipset is to take out a RAM slot, i think i'll never buy anymore any intel product. that just reflects how intel are making such a funny work, i think this sollution is redicoulus, and not really even a real sollution. i see my comment is getting too long, probably because i loved that article, anyways, i personnally will buy only AMD CPU's from now on, and i think that there should be more support for 3DNow! in games, which is a very strong processing unit.

  22. bigger on RNA Computer · · Score: 1

    when i think about minimizing our technology, i mostly think about the minimal we can get. today, while we talk about the minimal transistor, we probably want to talk about a lonely atom, with 1 or more electrons. and when i think about it in terms of biotechnology, i think of the smallest cell we need, and it's still huge, it's made of milions of atoms. not that i'm against new things, and espeacially not against biotechnology, but think about that that we'll never minimize things in biotechnology as we might in normal technology.

  23. Re:He's wrong. on TI CEO Says PC Era is Ending · · Score: 1

    when talking about the PC's fading, we talk about things probably getting smaller, as you said, but, for games and things you need big screens for, you wont see it on a 4" monitor, you'll probably use a smarter device that will be able to make you feel motion. as for the other things the article offers, it mostly says that wireless technology increase while PC's will fade, i personnally think that there's much to improove in PC's, and the main thing is it's rebooting, i dont think that a computer should even have that option. when there's a PC with that doesnt have to be rebooted, i'll be happy. otherwise, PC's are ok, i see them fading maybe in another 10 years, mostly beause they are a standard in every house.

  24. why are all the troubles related to Microsoft? on Judge Reinstates Java Injunction Against Microsoft · · Score: 1

    i dont get it, why microsoft has to ruin every beautiful thing they see? if Java would be changed by MS, and would become the new standard, it will be so insecure that people will try to develop a new cross platform language. and if it wont become a standard, then, it wont be really cross platform again in any ways. therefore, we should give MS the power to do it as an ugly monopoly. same thing as they did with MSN messanger, Explorer, and Novell, and now with Java too. i think Microsoft is definetly a big harm to the computers world. Bill quited so now Brian can go and stand in court and pretend he doesnt know the law? bottom line : i hate Microsoft, they always have to ruin all the nice things they see.

  25. Anti Viral programs on Linux Virii On Their Way? · · Score: 1

    i dont believe that my box will ever be infected with a virus since linux is very secured and i control on every file by myself. but lets continue to my main point i want to bring up, if, and there's a chance, that there will be a virus for linux, viruses, Anti Virus programs will be written so quickly, because most of linux users have a background in programming, or they are programmers theirself. and same as linux was developed by hackers, if it's anti virus will be developed again by hackers, no anti virus from the windows platform would compare to it. same with exploits, as a security hole is found on linux, an exploit will be written quickly, and a fix will be written even faster, and will secure your system in 100%. but still, i dont think there's a reason to be afraid from viruses for linux.
