  1. Re:Next... on Washington Post Buys Slate From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Heh!
    Doubt it thought.
    Slate's readership is much larger than Slashdot's.

  2. Re:Not quite... on Washington Post Buys Slate From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Source?

    The Fray is one the biggest draws of Slate.
    It has more posts than other online site on the web that I know of.
    I can't imagine anyone spending more time on Washington Post than on the 'The Fray'.

  3. Cagle.Slate.msn.com on Washington Post Buys Slate From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I am regular visitor to Cagle.slate.msn.com

    Yeah. I got it and I thought the quality was awesome.
    I am sure there is something more to this issue than the article is trying to present.

  6. Re:Version numbers seem odd? on Firefox 0.10.1 Released, Fixes Security Hole · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Goto Control Panel->Admin Tools->Service and set the security service to manual.

  11. Re:limiting outbound TCP/IP connections on Windows XP SP2 Impressions · · Score: 5, Informative

    The limit is enfored if a previous connection attempt to a host has failed.
    There is no limit if connection if the connection attempt was sucessful.

    Licences have no effect.
    There is no limit on the number of connections.
    You will probably reach the memory limit of your system before you reach the maximum number of connections that XP can support.

  12. Personal experience w.r.t games on VirtualPC 2004 Versus VMWare 4.5? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have used both Virtual PC & VMWare.
    Installing Operating Systems is faster on Virtual PC than in Vmware.

    Surprisingly Windows XP Professional was the slowest install I had in VPC.
    I have successfully installed FreeBSD, Mandrake 10.0 (KDE), Red Hat, Fedora on Virtual PC & VMWare with full networking support.

    All my old LucasArts games (the primary use of emulation for me) work with Virtual PC.
    I had terrible luck with VmWare w.r.t. running games.

  13. "winserv" = Sypware? on Windows XP SP2 Still Rough Around the Edges · · Score: 3, Informative

    A message stated that "winserv" was missing.

    winserv is not application which would be needed at boot time.
    It looks like a spyware to me.

    http://www.spyany.com/program/article_spy_rm_IEPlu gin.html seems to confirm my suspisions.

    Obiviuosly SP2 RC2 didn't hose the machine. It was a spyware

    Windows 2003 already has Network Monitor Tools. You can find it in the Add Remove Programs.
