  1. sanitizer? on Server Side Virus Scanning Options? · · Score: 1

    Nobody uzing sanitizer/a? here?

  2. 2.5.44 doesn't compile for me... on Recruiting Help in Smashing Kernel Bugs? · · Score: 2
    I Tried 3 different config options (removing parts that seemed to cause problem compiling), then tried the -ac patch, but I always ran into a compile-time error.

    I don't submit those, as I suppoze they will be reported anyway (and I only tried to compile it a week ago).

    So, to make me at least test the kernel: make it compile:)
    (I'll give 2.5.45 a try, never before had this much compile-time problems with any kernel)

  3. http://www.cups.org/ on Windows 2000, Samba, and Cancelling Print Jobs? · · Score: 3, Informative

    How about CUPS?

    I haven't used it yet, but it looks like the thing one needs.

  4. Where's 2.0.43? on Apache 2.0 Cross-site Scripting Vulnerability · · Score: 1
    users are urged to upgrade to address this problem.


    But going to http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/
    , I read:

    Apache 2.0.42 is the best available version.


    So, where's 2.0.43? Or is someone reporting this too early?

  5. Re:can't we all just get along? on unix.com Wins Domain Dispute · · Score: 1
    Visiting unix.com yields a web site that appears to be devoted to the exchange of knowledge and has NOTHING to do with Unix, except maybe to host knowledge associated with unix.

    Then maybe you visited a different unix.com than I did. OK, they may call themselves `Universal Internet eXchange', but it's devoted to UNIX (the OS) discussion.

  6. Re:spurious reasoning on Winning the E.T. Lottery · · Score: 1
    Both the moon and Antarctica have been around for a long time, what is "the probability that people would actually go there"


    We didn't visit the moon right at the same time a moon-sivilisation started to use electric signals and the like.

    The whole point of the article was, that the aliens apparently visited us within the last 55 years, when we got technically adept.

    (But then, as someone else pointed out, yes, the aliens could have vizitied 25 milion years ago, and left a probe, that started sending signals when man evolved)

  7. No-one needs more than 64k! on Balancing Memory Usage vs Performance? · · Score: 0, Troll

    environment with a very small sum of available memory (sub 6 megs)

    Didn't Bill already explain to us that no-one ever needs more than 64k? So, what's your problem?

    You're not seriously saying thta Bill could be wrong, are you?

  8. Razor stopping real mail? on SpamNet: Razor for the Masses · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I always wondered, what if someone start sending real emails to razor? Say, the boss sends email tomorrow prepare for xyz", and I don't want thers to receive the email? I just quickly bounce it to razor, and (part of) my coworkers who use razor ll now not see the announcement.

    Can Razor really avoid this? (I'll submit the email using different accounts if razor asks for more than one submission; I'll setup the accounts to bounce all spamassassin-filtered email to razor too, so that Razor thinks the accounts are serious spam-cops).


    Or am I missing something?

  9. commercial laser? on Laser Powered Paper Plane Takes Flight · · Score: 1

    What is a commercial laser? Does this mean
    it's been done years ago already with communist
    lasers, but this is the first time it's been done
    with a commercial laser?

  10. IBM first to ship database for Linux? on 'Unbreakable Linux' · · Score: 2, Insightful


    Despite all the hoopla, IBM was still the first to ship a database for Linux back in 1999.


    So why doesn't Postgresql count? Am I missing something?

  11. Re:Why not default to SMTP blocking at ISPs? on China Wants Out of Spam Blocks · · Score: 1

    Yeah, my ADSL ISP takes this route, that is, half-way.
    They don't allow incomming port 25, no matter what I do.
    Of cource, in their policy they state they don't block any ports... So, I'm switching to another ISP.

  12. Re:Do NOT click that link! Virus! on Code Red Goes The Way Of Y2K · · Score: 1
    Strange. In my friend's apache's acecss.log, I find 211.161.209.235 - - [01/Aug/2001:17:32:14 +0200] "GET /default.ida?NNNN[lameless filter made me remove full text]NNNNN%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucb d3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u9090%u8190 %u00c3%u0003%u8b00%u531b%u53ff%u0078%u0000%u00=a HTTP/1.0" 400 252

    And I assumed that that's what `Code Red' does.

    BTW, what's that `Backdoor' doing in order to infect computers via one simple html (no scripts or anything, just 289 of plain HTML) file?

  13. New version? on Code Red Goes The Way Of Y2K · · Score: 1

    I just saw an attack by 211.161.209.235, and the defaced site there shows a rahter different text than `hacked by the chinese' or something. (mirror is at http://www.komputilo.org/fuck.html)

  14. Open Passwords on When "Security Through Obscurity" Isn't So Bad · · Score: 1
    The can close whatever they want, as long as they don't close the passwords.

    Hey, Open Passwords, that's what we want!

  15. Re:Don't rely on Slashdot for security information on Security Issues For Many Alcatel DSL Modems · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's good to check at CERT. And, from what I see here, CERT didn't really retract too much (there's a long list of problems they mention)

  16. stock market model? on Measuring Coder Performance? · · Score: 1
    Probably won't work, but I thougth the idea was funy anyway:)

    If you can devide the work to be done into smaller tasks, you could announce these tasks (say) a week before they start. Then ask the devellopers to bid on them, giving a price in the amount of hours they think it will take them.

    The lowest bidder gets the task, and you'll have some (sloppy) way to tell how difficult the task was thought to be by the various developpers. Then you can look at how long it actually took (afterwards), and you can base the reward-points on that.

    Yes, I know this is *not* a very precise way. But at least it looks objective. And, to me (not working like that) it looks like fun:).

  17. Re:No HDD, hmm... on $200 Net PC to Close Brazil's Digital Divide · · Score: 1
    Guess you're posting that as AC, to avoid being asked to actually prove it?

    Besides, I haven't seen many sites that show up well with konqueror. Mozilla compressed might fit in 16M, if nothing is put on it:)

  18. It's just robbery on Using GPL/BSD Code In Closed Source Projects? · · Score: 4
    Dear slashdot,

    I'm planning to rob a bank. If I dress up really decently, and use polite language (and a nice looking gun) while adressing the bank staff, will I get away with it?

    It seems to me quite reasonable for the bank to give me some of their money. They've got so much of it.

  19. Part of Fees to FSF! on France To Tax Blank Computer Media · · Score: 1
    Well, the fees obviously go to the artists/companies who are left out because of the illegal copying. But part of the usage of disks obviously is for free sofware, and I guess the FSF and others should be able to claim that part.

    That is, I'm sure france will do research into how many songs of what record companies are illegally copied, and distribute the fees accordingly. Free software companies (not just FSF, of course) should do simmilar research, and demand their share.

    Seems to be something strange on that page.

    Under the `info' tab, it says "Published: 29 jan 2000".
    But under the `cretit' tab, it says: first discovered by Neal Krawetz July of 2000, and announced via the Bugtraq mailing list on December 20, 2000.

    I guess the "published" line is wrong after all, and this really is rather new.
