  1. Re:This stupid law could kill arcades! on Killing Video Games · · Score: 2

    There are more games at the arcades besides Area 51... What happened to the days of Pac-Man, Centipede, and Galaga?

    I don't see how this is a violation of any constitutional right. And if it is a violation... why don't we let 13 year olds go rent pr0n at the seedy store on the corner? Isn't that taking power away from the parents as well?

    EASY... it's from the Grateful Dead song "That's It For The Other One"

    " Skippin' through the lily fields I came across an empty space,
    It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in it's place.
    The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began,
    There was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land."

    Cowboy Neal was the nickname for Neal Cassidy.

    Well, I know that NOC list is not entirely acccurate. I see that the UUNET Technologies number is actually their tech support number. I would suggest going to Network Solutions website, and looking for the tech contact's email address or phone number and calling them. Or, looking at the email address in the Start of Authority information of their DNS zone, and email that person. They should at least be more technical than a phone monkey.

  15. Re:No, it's not theft on 50-Dollar Hackable "WebSurfer" · · Score: 1

    Theft??? GIVE ME A BREAK. If I opened and tweaked my VCR or one of my PC's, do you think the company would give a flying F? I think they would only care if I wanted a refund if I fried the thing. And then I couldn't blame them because it was my bright idea to go tinkering with a working product. Now... these people care because they thought that the masses would use them for their proprietary ideas, like WebTV and such. So what do they care if we use them for ours? Either make it like EMachines or such that requires you to purchase a contract with MSN or Earthlink or whoever. Don't bitch about it. It's unfortunate though. I wanted to get one of those I-Openers. Imagine, a flat screen computer for $99. That was cool. Ok ok... after I bought or made the mod kit (but I'm lazy, I would have spent the 25 dollars) and then having to purchase a 2.5" HDD (I don't have an old laptop lying around) off of Pricewatch, it would have upped the price. But that would have been a fun hack.

    By the way... this one sucks compared to I-Opener. A) No cool little screen B) What about us that don't use the landline for connectivity (DSL, Cable Modems, etc). I think this one is a waste. Hey, if I Opener goes under financially, would we still be bound to the TOS?

  16. RedHat, Life, the Universe, and Everything on Red Hat Is Not Linux (dot org) · · Score: 1

    I could say 42... but I'll write a brief, rambling thought instead

    Face it... Redhat brought Linux to the masses. Of ALL you recent Linux users, what was your first distro... Redhat 4.2? RH 5.2? C'mon, some of us are running 6.1 or 6.2 for the first time. It's a likeable distro b/c it's easy to install, set up packages, yet have the feel for a *NIX-like OS. If you run it right, it can be just as secure as Slackware and Debian (so you'll have to tweak it some, but hey that's something to learn). It's got a cool name and a cool logo, so it will grab new newbies as well.

    Now I'm not a big fan of proprietary software (aka M$ Office Suite) but even though those have its uses. As long as it stays cheap and run by the little people, I'll never have problems with it. Evolution and moving up has it's risks and it's growing pains. Look at the Internet (something that didn't need security to cc numbers floating everywhere), hardware standards, and such. It's unfortunately Darwinian, but just think of the exciting idea of when someone else rises to be popular to the uber-users. :) Anyways... kudos to redhat... they got something going to bring in the masses. Don't count Corel out either. However, I still like Slackware and tarballs

    I have to agree with this guy... if people want to buy software driven hardware that uses their CPU to save money... let them.

    Yeah, for hardcore geeks that have been messing with Linux for years, bugtraq is just fine.

    when I think of Republicans, I think of Pat Robertson, and those that push their "family values" on others. You cannot deny that when it comes to what's generally deemed "christian ideals" that it comes from the Republican party. However the truth behind my rant was that I was making a joke... even tho some of it contained personal beliefs. It's amazing we listen to shock comics such as Leary and Carlin, and love them, yet when someone else says it, we're appalled... get over it.

  25. Re:Good idea on Can Mail Servers Work With Dynamic IPs? · · Score: 1

    However, you need to be careful what the Time to Live is set in the Start of Authority of your zone on your friend's name server. Caching DNS servers are going to hold that record for the length of time that it designates. You'll most likely need a low TTL, and even then, you have a chance that sometimes your DNS will hiccup for a few minutes, until the caching servers update their host records with your new record. Dynamic IP's suck, but I guess you gotta work with what you have. All I can say is... if the authoritative server can handle it, keep the TTL low, like 15 minutes or so... or 900 :)
