  1. Re:WoW for Linux? on Blizzard Answers Your Questions, From Blizzcon · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'd be interested if there was a pure native client, haven't touched it as there isn't one. I'd be more than happy to have an internal code preview/beta/unsupported/make 'em happy version and then I'd look at buying it.

  2. I've talked to some people from Sun today ... on Sun Developers Refute OpenSolaris Vaporware Claims · · Score: 2, Informative

    and they said that the reason it's taken so long was that they had to buy some IP that they'd previously licensed but couldn't release. They're in the process of finalising that now.

  3. Re:Slashdotted ... or? on Homemade EVDO/WiFi Mobile Access Point · · Score: 5, Funny

    Heh, no officer, my I didn't crash, I was slashdotted...

  4. Might be a nice article, but... on Gaming As Image Statement · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Where does it go?

  5. slow already on Webcam Jigsaw Solver in 200 Lines of Python · · Score: 3, Informative
  6. Re:War-walking on Enthusiast Hacks WiFi Into Treo 650 · · Score: 1

    It'll look even better when you're munching you're pringles and the reception picks up as you empty the packet

  7. Re:Network mounting netware filesystems natively on SUSE 9.2 Released · · Score: 1

    From what I understand, mounting a netware volume will be available in Open Enterprise Server. Basically it's SLES 9.1 or Netware 7 with all the Novell services running on top. You can choose either kernel to use and it "should" act similarly. This even includes NSS volume support apparently.

    We're itching to get it at work so we can consolidate our file servers and mail (Notes/Domino) on to one box. It worked well with Novell's Linux services v1 in our dev environment.

  8. Re:What's advanced here? on SUSE 9.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Wow, Linspire must really be advanced if you've been using it since 2005 :)

  9. Re:SuSE? on Red Hat Pushes For CC Certification By Year's End · · Score: 1

    Not that I've heard so far, but it will make things a lot nicer where I'm at if they do...

  10. At last... on Red Hat Pushes For CC Certification By Year's End · · Score: 4, Interesting

    We're looking to use it in some places, but wasn't able to think of it until we found out it was going through certification.

    It mightn't mean much to some places, but for government organisations, it's a big step to getting it in more places than just using it for "development toys".

  11. First Post on AMD Breaks Ground on New Chip Facility · · Score: -1, Redundant

    yay!

  12. Lotus Notes does it for me on How Do You Organize Your Data? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We use lotus notes at our organisation and I find it a great email client (for corporate mail). It has great folder support, there's only one document in the database, but it can be displayed in any number of folders. There's also the views which are defined by the admin which show what they're told. This means that you might remove a document from all folders, but still be able to find it in All Documents.

    The only down side to Notes is that it's quite expensive, but it does run on Linux *grins*

  13. Another Canberran view on Bushfires Destroy Historic Mt. Stromlo Observatory · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been up (trying to catch a little rest here and there) since 9am yesterday morning (it's now 9pm today). The damage here has been devastating. I'd just like to say thanks to all the emergency services personnell for all the work they've done over the last few days. This has been termed the largest natural disaster in Australian History (or so I've been told).

    Last night I was up on our roof hosing everything down, the smoke was so thick I couldn't see the flames coming towards us. All we could see was a bright red glow that looked like the sky was on fire. I don't think that's a vision I'll ever forget.

    I just consider myself lucky that I'm in the northern area as it wasn't hit anywhere near as hard as the southern suburbs. At the moment I believe that 25% of Canberra is still without electricty, water and gas.

    Again, thanks to all the emergency service people who prevented this disaster from becomming any worse.
