    ... AST: Multi-threaded SSH/SCP "is only a performance hack". :)

  2. Re:Boycott all commercial antivirus programs? on Trend Micro Draws Boycott Over AV Patent Case · · Score: 1

    AFAIK, the windows version has always done this.

  3. Re:Boycott all commercial antivirus programs? on Trend Micro Draws Boycott Over AV Patent Case · · Score: 2, Informative

    The only antivirus I ever used, since the DOS era up to now on XP is F-Prot. No bloat, small and lightweight. Never had a virus. And of course, a router and common sense helps a lot.

    Mod parent insightful. How many of you remember the name of the guy behind ext2/3 of xfs? Not to mention, ntfs? :)

  5. Re:What about wake up? on TrueCrypt 5.0 Released, Now Encrypts Entire Drive · · Score: 3, Informative
    In Truecrypt's menu, under Settings -> Preferences, there is an Auto-Dismount section. TrueCrypt volumes can be automatically dismounted when:
    • user logs off
    • screen saver is started
    • enters power saving mode
    • no data has been written for x minutes
    Dismounting can be forced even if there are open files on the volume. All those options were there even in TrueCrypt 4.3.
  6. Re:Before IPV6 gets popular, it needs: on One Step Closer to IPv6 · · Score: 1

    Of course it has. But the difference between this and this (or your favorite router) is much more than the value of my 1-2 hours (max) to set the thing up for IPv6. I'm just not paid that well :)

  9. Re:SVN branching a daunting task? on SVN's svn:externals To GIT's Submodule · · Score: 4, Informative

    Branching is easy. Merging them together again... well... What SVN lacks is merge tracking (a la ClearCase, for example - which is otherwise a horrible product, but that's not the point here). They plan to introduce it in 1.5, though.

  10. Yahoo Messenger vs. MSN/Windows Live on Microsoft Bids $44.6 Billion For Yahoo · · Score: 0

    Fine, I guess they'll fix the interworking between the two IM networks too, which doesn't work all the time as it should. Yahoo users will simply be merged into MSN, and Yahoo Messenger will cease to exist. :))

  11. Re:We are living through history, folks on The Next 25 Years in Tech · · Score: 1, Funny
    I am 27. I used a rotary phone for many years, traveled a lot by cars powered with leaded gas, and watched cartoons on a black-and-white TV with no remote control for many years.

    Oh, shit, wait, I live in Eastern Europe!

  12. Re:WTF? on Apple Announces MacBook Air · · Score: 1, Insightful

    And, of course, you don't use a flash drive. You use that wireless ethernet to access your Time Capsule[TM], which it seems to me was the really interesting bit of today's announcement from Apple.

    A base station with a hard drive interesting? Well. I've had it for some time now, and I suppose many geeks from here have something like that too. (Asus Wifi router + ATA HDD + USB enclosure + openwrt and samba to share it out). It probably won't work with TimeMachine[TM] though :) (but it does download torrents and stuff from edonkey:) Anyway, their price looks good on this one, but it's not revolutionary.

  16. Re:Turn off UPNP on Most Home Routers Vulnerable to Flash UPnP Attack · · Score: 0

    I thought the recommended steps for setting up a router were:

    A. Unbox
    B. Throw away the disk
    C. Plug in your machine, Turn on the router and navigate to the webgui
    C. step2: Install OpenWRT, DD-WRT, or your favorite variant. (don't even buy a router that can't run it) Customize as you like.

    D. Turn off UPNP
    E. ??? (Change default name and password, set WPA, Turn off SSID etc....)
    F. Profit...

    The point is, I'd always been told to turn off UPNP 'cos sooner or later something is going to open ports that you don't know about.

    There. Fixed that for you. ;)

  17. Re:NexStar HDD Enclosure on How to Say Goodbye to Old Hard Drives? · · Score: 0

    I have one of those NexStar3 too, never had any problem when moving drives from enclosure to internal or vice versa... I had other problem though: the enclosure's power switch failed after some time, so I had to short it. It's powered on all the time now, anyway :)

    So what if you could connect only one computer? (My ISP still has that sentence in their contract.) Connect one (small) computer, which happens to be a wifi router. Connect all your computers to your router. What (and how many) you connect to your router is none of their business.
