  1. Re:methods on Comcast Gunning for NAT Users · · Score: 1

    Won't the NAT box put it's OWN MAC address on the packet?

  2. Re:Dead tree spam on Crazy Stats on Spam · · Score: 1

    I decided a while back to attempt to stop the weekle dead tree spam I was getting. So, I tracked down the company and asked them to take me off their mailing list. They did. Now I just need to convince the damn mailman that if I don't get a postcard with my address on it, I shouldn't get the damn ads, either.

  3. Re:I'm at on Crazy Stats on Spam · · Score: 1

    He didn't say auto-replied and unsubscribed, but "filtered."

    Now there's a good idea. Set evolution to flag any email that contains "unsubscribe" in the body. That just might work.

  4. Re:Simulation is never perfect on Network Testbed Emulab.net · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you didn't read the pages where it says you can control every aspect of the simulated network right down to the hardware. Packet drop rates, latency, etc, etc, etc.

  5. Re:also boohoo on Star Trek: Enterprise Premieres Tonight · · Score: 1

    That's why I got DishNetwork. For ~ $5 a month, I get TBS, WSBK, WPIX, KTLA, WGN and WWOR. Hell, I rarely switch to the free cable TV that comes with the cable modem.

    Yes, it was 13.


    He was making a joke. Show some humor.

    Looks like he backed everything up before he made the "." changes.

    Your forgot one: 1980-81 (Carter)
    I'd say the 1980 recession was worse then the 1987. It was the only time my father has EVER been laid off.

  9. Re:STV on ICANN Voting Deemed Confusing · · Score: 1
    Say two democrats and one republican stood, chances are both democrats would gain about 30% while the republican gets 40%. Thus the republican guy wins despite 60% rather having one of the two democrats.

    You mean like the way Bill Clinton has won two elections without ever getting a majority of the popular vote? IIRC, he never got more than 48% of the vote. We have the funny-looking hand grenade with a bad haircut to thank for that!

  10. LTSP uses RAM disks on Other Uses For The Linux RAM Disk? · · Score: 1
    The Linux Terminal Server Project (http://www.ltsp.org) creates a 4 MB RAM disk at boot time.
    It gets mounted on /tmp rather than putting the client's /tmp on an NFS mounted drive.

  11. Re:Abusing the good will of companies on Digital Convergence Changes EULA, and Gets Cracked · · Score: 1
    So, would you propose to put limits on AMD? They started out in the processor market by reverse engineering Intel's chips and making their own that worked the same way. In fact, that's the only legal method they had to make a compatible chip.

    First, you find out what a chip does and write detailed specs describing it. Then you give that document to a completely seperate team of engineers. Since the 2nd team hasn't ever looked at an Intel chip, they have no knowledge of how it does what it does. They design their own chip to do the same thing. Presto, you have an Intel compatible chip that's completely legal due to the wonders of reverse (and clean-room) engineering.

  12. I'll buy more music because of Napster on Jupiter Report Says Napster Users Buy MORE Music · · Score: 1

    I heard "Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down. I liked it enough to search for them on Napster, and I found about 6 other songs. After listening to them for a while, I'm probably going to go get their CD in the near future. Normally, I probably would not be buying it. It's not the type of music I usually listen to.

  13. Re:Liquid CO2? I don't think so. on For The Overclocking Junkie · · Score: 1

    That was my comment exactly. They'd have to get some serious pressure built up to liquify the CO_2. It's been a while since I had thermodynamics, but I think you need at least 10 atmospheres before it'll melt into a liquid.

  14. Re:Why this event and not others? on LinuxFest 2000 - Show Your Support · · Score: 1

    Our (small) company had two people at the show (one of them the owner). They called early in the show telling us that Informix and RedHat had both pulled out. They were able to setup in their booths, and even pulled the van right onto the floor (if you saw Tux on the Unique Systems van, drop me an email!) It's pretty dissapointing to see two rather large companies back out at the last moment (although we got a great deal on booth space.) The latest word Friday was that foot traffic was slow and the organizers might not even open it up on Saturday.
    From other posts, it sounds like there was very little planning and almost no advertising. Hopefully, future events in this area will go better.

  15. Re:Privacy? Last of our concerns... on COPPA Steps on ICQ Privacy · · Score: 1

    How hard is it to lie about your age? You just enter a birth year a few years earlier than reality, and poof!, you're a few years older, at least as far as ICQ knows.
