  1. Re:Next Version on New, More Destructive Love Bug Variant · · Score: 1
    The changing subject line helps its messages avoid being deleted by the Spam filters, but since the message does not change, the user is not likely to thinkt that it actually came from the person it says it does. What these viruses need to do is examine the context of all of the messages in the user's Inbox that come from the individual who it is being sent to and generate a context-sensitive reply to that individual.

    From what I have read on Symantec's Page, this one does change. It adds random comments to the message that it is sending out. That makes scanning for an attachment all that much worse.

  2. Re:Not what I want. on Netscape 6 · · Score: 1

    Ahh.. isn't that the point of Netscape/Mozilla... to do a complete rewrite of the browser to be small and more stable?

  3. Re:Laptops with Linux pre-installed (and working) on Dell Supporting Linux on Laptops · · Score: 2

    Check out Dell's I7500 sales page to order with RH 6.1 preinstlled

  4. Re:Dxr2 on Creative Labs GPLs dxr2 DVD Decoder Drivers · · Score: 1

    Anyone know where? I have a system with a DRX3 card (although the box was labeled as DRX2, the card uses the DRX3 drivers, and is labled as such)

  5. Re:Recovering ?ghost of deleted message? on This Email Will Self Destruct... · · Score: 1

    Or, more importantly, since this will probalby be (at least) a Windoze based product, it will probalby be in swap, anyway...

  6. Re:Not any more - Sybase on What Happened to Oracle's $1 Million Server Challenge? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I beleive they splintered apart after Sybase 4.9.2...

    Sybase has already released 11.9.2 for Linux, free for development purposes, and problaby fairly reasonable for production services...

    Sybase does have some great stuff -- someone at work mentioned something to the fact that Sybase can query an Oracle database faster than Oracle can...

  7. Re:In other "Matrix" related news... on The Matrix to have two sequels · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I tried to post this as well, found both of these off of dvdresource.com: One from Variety Magazine and another from Sci Fi Wire

  8. very cool on $300 portable MP3 CD player · · Score: 1

    Wow, I've been thinking about how to make such a creation, if only I had the time. This is a very cool toy :)

  9. Is this Rational Systems? on ClearCase for Linux · · Score: 1

    I don't know about the rest of the company, but the part that makes ClearCase knows very little about NT. We use the Solaris version of ClearCase, so they wanted to use ClearCase under NT as well. We had to have several visits from people from ClearCase out on site to work on the NT install, and it still doesn't work nicly. The ClearCase portion is very definatly a unix house...

  10. Clearcase? UGH! NOT! on ClearCase for Linux · · Score: 1

    I would have to agree here. ClearCase is an amazing piece of source code control software. We use it where I work, and I am always amazed at what it does. To be able to view files in source code control, then CD into that file, and view all of its revisions as a different file, and be able to use any u*ix command on the files is amazingly useful.

    We are already looking into a linux port at my company (those of us in development who hate the NT port (native Solaris)) and this will only simplify things greatly (we had been thinking of NFS exporting the source code, which clearcase also supports)

  11. Files over 4 GBs on Ask Slashdot: How Reliable are Enormous Filesystems in Linux? · · Score: 1

    Actually, at least Solaris 2.5.1 doens't support over 2GB files, according to Sybase, and believe it or not, but NT does. You can have a 32GB device (ie file) for Sybase under NT
