  1. I agree.. on CCAGW Misreads Mass. Policy, Open Standards Generally · · Score: 5, Interesting


    "The state's taxpayers deserve nothing less." -CAGW President Tom Schatz

    Dear Mr. Schatz,
    I agree 100%, but not in the way you may think :)

    The site www.cagw.org is running Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.6.5 OpenSSL/0.9.6e ApacheJServ/1.1.2
    mod_fastcgi/2.2.10 on FreeBSD.

  2. International orders? on New U.S. Sales Tax Regime For Internet Sellers? · · Score: 5, Interesting


    Will this put US online sellers at a disadvantage to, say, Canadian ones for importing? For example an amazon.com order plus the taxes verses an amazon.ca order with shipping and the exchange rate differences?

    Slashdot readers don't like doing anything legal on the computer. Fuck copyright!

    Sure OpenOffice itself may be free but when you add in the $699 SCO fee for the OS it's not that great a deal.</sarcasm>

    That works if you also have a land line, I don't. Got rid of it a few months back. Signed up with primustel.ca and now get CA$0.05/minute long distance to the US and Canada on my cell. No need for a landline anymore.

    Don't give up so quickly, you should be able to get $699 from each user of TSL's Linux..

    Have You Personally Used an Honest Head Hunter?"

    Yes, a fellow named Jeffrey Dahmer. Nice guy, if a bit strange. I'd ask him what he did with the rest of the bodies but he always just gave me a sly grin.
    I wonder what ever happened to him..

  11. Re:The only difference is... on The Guy Responsible For Ctrl-Alt-Del · · Score: 1


    I haven't had a bluescreen or reboot EVER in Win2k, minus the ones caused by everyone's beloved Bittorrent, and those took a router firmware update to fix.

    So? A program should not be able to bring down the host OS. If a router (in this case I'm assuming a Linksys-like thing) has old firmware which caused the PC to crash then the OS is not solid. The fact that it may be Bittorrent doing it is irrelevant.

    I beg to differ: one of these would work. Of course you likely meant software loggers.

    "The Journalist of the 21st Century" will need to know how to:

    use PGP.

    use encrypted virtual partitions they can burn to CDR.

    destroy information off a hard disk (not "trash, empty trash")

    use PGP-Phone or other encrypted VoIP system.

  23. The means of getting there is the best part on European Moon Mission Ready for Launch · · Score: 5, Funny

    The probe uses a new solar electric propulsion system which converts solar energy its panels into motion via the expulsion of ions.

    IMHO that is much more interesting than the mission itself. The less chemical fuel needed to get moving once in space could mean more room for payload.

    Beat the weenies to the punch:

    I, for one, welcome our new ion propelled masters!

    Imagine a beowulf cluster of these!

    Natalie Portman could fly one of these to my house anytime!

    The lengths people will go to to hurt the ego of chemical-rocket engineers!

    Citrix is pretty fast (I use the Linux Citrix client on an OpenBSD box to work on a machine halfway across the country) but it caches a huge amount of data locally. Of course that's the tradeoff for the speed you see. If speed isn't that big an issue stick to TightVNC, the price is right :)
