  1. Two options on Ask Slashdot: PC-Based Oscilloscopes On a Microbudget? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Both are a bit above your price range. But the PicoScope 2200 is a nice entry level scope. Alternatively some assembly required with OpenADC.

  2. Debian on Anyone Besides Zune Owners With New Year's Crashes? · · Score: 1

    Actually my server crashed between 00:59:52 and 01:03:53 CET so that is also very close to midnight GMT.

    Like aputerguy it has been running continously for several years now, although unlike him the server was pretty busy running backups at the time of the crash.

    It is running Debian testing and at that time Debian kernel 2.6.26-11.

  3. Re:Security on High Tech Medical Clinics? · · Score: 1
    I agree.

    This sounds like a great idea, but your number one priority should be security.

    You won't be needing that where you're going

    Where am I going?

  5. Book on Ethics on Ethics In Computer Consulting · · Score: 1
    I'm a first year college student studying Software Enginering. We have a course in computer ethics, it is just 2 hours every 2 weeks, but still.

    The book we use is:

    Computer Ethics by Deborah G. Johnson
    Third Edition
    ISBN: 0-13-083699-0
    It is publiced by Prentice Hall

    I just got it so I can't tell you whether it is a good book or not.

    About availability: I bought it from the college, but I heard they had real difficulty getting it.

  6. Digital on Triple-Density CD-RW From TDK & Friends · · Score: 4

    I thought the point of 1 bit per spot, also known as "digital", was to reduce the amounts of errors. Now they want to go back to storing data analog?

    This sounds like that story in which RAM was made that could store 4 values instead of 2 by using the same technology described here.

    That didn't make it. Will this?

  7. Re:Only on US tv? on 2001: A Space Prophecy · · Score: 1
    I don't think so. The Europian version of the CNN website does carry a similar story, but does not mention any air times. Their is also no mention of this on the CNN International website.

    So a DivX would be nice.

  8. GriPhyN on Creating The UniServer · · Score: 1
    I hope they will cooperate with the GryPhiN project to make the worlds largest scientific distributed network.

  9. Cable ISP on @Home Stops Allowing VPNs · · Score: 1
    Swap @Home with Chello:

    Apparently Chello is looking for the little bit of extra revenue they can get by selling additional IPs to people (like me) who have more than one computer. This might not be so bad if Chello provided reliable e-mail and DNS servers and other "basic" services one expects from an ISP, which they don't. This is just another piece of woe for those of us whose only broadband choice is Chello. Bah!

    He, this seems to go for every cable ISP!

  10. Re:/. already reported... on Ion Storm To Finish Thief III? · · Score: 1
    Emmett proberbly his the submit button twice.

    What I am curious about is how they are going to fix this without loosing comments.

  11. Re:What? on Gnutella Vs. SPAM · · Score: 1
    I also didn't know about this. I thought /. carried this kind of news, but apparently not.

    So where do I go for this kind of news?

  12. Other sniffers on Preliminary Ethereal User's Guide · · Score: 1

    I am going to use a sniffer in the near future to sniff ICQ (2000) packages. So I would like to try a few.

    What other (good) sniffers are their for the Windows platform?

  13. Re:Delphi on Best Way to Get Kids Started in Programming? · · Score: 1
    I agree. You should learn them a up-to-date language, so no Basic. Pascal, designed for teaching, is very easy to read.

    I think Java would be to difficult to read. Because of all the { and } and private/public statements.

    Delphi/Pascal is easier to read with "begin" and "end". Also the compiler is very struct, like in Java it doesn't allow for out-of-range operations and such things.

    Another advantage: There are some Pascal interpeters for Linux. I didn't come across any for Basic (doesn't mean they aren't there).

  14. Re:Goal of a Programmer on What are Your Programming Goals? · · Score: 1
    Programming might someday be less "elite", but not much.

    I disagree, programming operation systems and compilers will always be for the "elite". But the goal of now-a-day programmers should be to develop tools making programming available to everyone.

    Just like at the beginning of the century you had to be an expert to drive a car, now anyone can drive one. Of course you still need to be an expered to make or fix one.

  15. Terminology on The Slashdot DDoS: What Happened? · · Score: 1
    I know something out networks and things, but this goes way beyond my knowledge. Could someone help me by explaining some terms?

    • /8's, /16's and /24's
    • SYN
    • PIX
    • Arrowpoint
    • RSM/MSFC
    • CS-100

    Netscape has a longer time-out time. So it will try longer before giving a time-out.

    If you have to lift-and-move your mouse a lot you better look into your sensitivity settings.
