  1. Who is Yitzhak Rabin? on Time's Man of the Century: Linus Torvalds? · · Score: 1

    Maybe I've been spending too much time with my computer, but who is Yitzhak Rabin and why is he so important?

  2. Re:Clarifications on Ask Slashdot: Cyber Patrol Censorship? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the best plan of action, but if you really want to yell at somebody, yell at Cyper Patrol. Tell them to make some software that will only block the "offensive" pages and not every page on the server.
    By the way, before you're too hard on the ISP, ask yourself (or them) how many of the ISPs in your area are blocked by Cyber Patrol. If one page is all it takes many ISP may be blocked.

  3. Have you seen the Win98 one?...that's a virus on Open Source Concerns: Trojan Horses In the Code · · Score: 1

    Micros~1 marketing took over the trojan horsing in Win98. Some stupid stuff about going into the "Time/Time Zone" configuration and clicking and holding on Redmond...blah, blah don't remember the rest. Anyway, instead of a flight sim you get a Micros~1 commercial (sp?)

  4. Cancer...AIDS... on Cloning of extinct Huia bird approved · · Score: 0

    No, let's not put all effort possible into curing cancer or AIDS...no let's recreate some damn birds. This is probably being funded by people who want to revive the fashion trend that made the species extinct in the first place. There's a ton of crows around here...spraypaint the ends of their feather and there you go.

    Survival of the Fittest...not just a cool saying

  5. Re:Arg. I hate this. on Red Hat West Coast Division? · · Score: 1

    Motorola's world headquarters is in Schaumburg (about 20 min from Chicago)

  6. Duh...didn't anyone read the IPO info? on Red Hat West Coast Division? · · Score: 1

    One of the items in the official IPO stuff included what the millions from the IPO would be spent on and "geographical expansion" was listed. Not too surprising that they want an office in CA...

  7. Micro$oft Pressure on Merced Design Completed · · Score: 1

    Who wants to bet that M$ will be pressuring Intel to delay the release of the Merced until they can finish throwing something together?
    The Merced is supposed to run IA32 code, but will it run a 32-bit OS like Linux or NT out of the box (or straight of the net in the case of Linux)?

  8. Re:WARNING on Ask Slashdot: Linux and Fibre Channel Storage Systems · · Score: 1

    "Often, the upkeep for Linux can be so much more expensive than NT"

    What??? Care to explain that...what the current per hour rate at M$ for support?

  9. Re:Doesn't Suck. It's all worth it in the end. on Home Sweet Sweatshop · · Score: 1

    Do the math!!! If he's getting that kind of $$$ he can retire in a couple years and spend 24/7 with his family...

    I think the artical missed the point: Work your ass off, retire at 40.

  10. Re:Time to do your research on NT Beats Linux in Round 2 · · Score: 1

    The federal government using something overpriced and low quality...what a surprize. The last time it was rebooted was in January huh?...I guess you haven't tried to install any new software or changed any configurations. You also must be doing some pretty simple stuff with it...file serving, etc...not a development machine obviously.

  11. Microsoft Ebay article on Major Security Flaw in IIS4.0 · · Score: 2

    Anybody remember this article
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/av ail/ebay.htm
    regarding The Importance of Reliability in an e-Commerce World....

    I just sent this article in responce to it (technet@microsoft.com) God, I amuse myself...

  12. Not with the 2.2.x kernel on Intercepting the Reset Button · · Score: 1

    This is changed with the 2.2.x kernel. The three finger salute to Mr. Gates no longer causes the shutdown command to run, but bounces the box giving you the same effect as if you were in *ugh* DOS.

  13. Re:RH 6.0 RPM???? on Linux 2.2.10 · · Score: 1

    I have a very similar problem. I went to 2.2.9 and I keep getting something about "Incorrect kernel version in System.map". I just ignore it since it's been running fine. It is annoying though.

  14. Re:No I'm not! on Linux 2.2.10 · · Score: 1

    72 hours? 2.2.9 came out more than a month ago and if you don't use Linux why are you worried about it? Good to see your putting all your valuable time ("I can't spare 15 minutes to recompile the kernel *wahhhh*") to good use.

  15. Why doesn't M$ worry about their own problems on The root of all eBay's troubles · · Score: 1

    Seems like M$ knows a lot about Sun's "weaknesses". Maybe they should spend less time finding faults with other companies and more time fixing their own....crazy idea right?

  16. mpeg is a standard. on Apple Purchases Rights to MP3 Codec · · Score: 1

    MP3 = Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) 1 layer 3

  17. I'm using an *ordinary modem* + soundcard for IVR on Ask Slashdot: Linux and Telephony · · Score: 1

    Yes, please do so. I would love more info on how you did this.

  18. WRONG!! on Red Hat Releases Starbuck · · Score: 1

    It does not crash on "any sort of Java". I'm using it right now. It does crash, but it's certainly usable, and lots of java stuff works fine. It crashes less than Windoze does.
