  1. I forget. on ESR chapter of "Open Sources" online · · Score: 1

    This is the real Sam Ockman

  2. How revolting. on Lyrics Site May Go Commercial · · Score: 1
    sharing the profits with the music industry
    Of course, this does not mean that the authors of these lyrics will ever see a dime--it'll all go to producers, lawyers, and accountants.

  3. Go Celeron! on Alphas get Cheaper? · · Score: 1

    Erm, I'd almost wager that the 400MHz Celeron is slower than your 333MHz PPC. Clock speed is only one of several factors that determine the speed of a machine

  4. RedHat? Oh, no! on World's Smallest Web Server · · Score: 1

    Nah, it won't crash.
    Of course, they will need to replace the broken Perl that comes with 5.2....

  5. Can you say beowulf? on World's Smallest Web Server · · Score: 1

    Mein Gott! The latency on PLIP would CRUSH a cluster of these things. Besides, Beowulf is a listing of specs that these little dippies certainly don't meet.

  6. Cynbe Ru Taren! on Doing the Quickee Boogie · · Score: 1
    Cynbe wrote Citadel, one of the PC applications that got me into open-source software back in the '80s! I remember thinking that the BSD/SysV wars were remarkably like the DragCit/Cit86 wars (DragCit, the West Coast version, was far superior, naturally, to the New Jersey Cit86.)


    I am in that man's debt for starting the Citadel BBS craze in Seattle. If it weren't for the availability of source code, I'd have been stuck hacking on "wack-ass proprietary shit"(TM).
