  1. good thing.. on The Elegant Universe, Now Available Online · · Score: 1


    A friend sent me the link a couple weeks ago. That is some cool thought-provoking shit to watch.

    Glad I saw it before the ./ DDoS.

    Dear Mr. Szulik,

    Have you tried Gentoo? It's a great distro.

    Thanks,

    Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

  5. SpamCop doesn't work.. on Trouble Getting to SpamCop? · · Score: 1


    I reported every single spam email I got to SpamCop for over 4 months, did the follow up confirmations and all. My spam intake went throught the roof in that 4 month period.

    Finally I just gave up and stop reporting spam to them at all.

    Bah.. Google toolbar rules all.

  7. silly.. on Google Removes Links in Response to DMCA Complaint · · Score: 1


    If you already know about Kazaa Lite, why would you be searching for it on Google? Why not just type the url and be done with it?

    Aside from that, I'd guess that most people found Kazaa via download.com or by word of mouth, not through Google. We all love Google, but removing those urls isn't gonna slow Kazaa down at all.

  8. AOL blows on AOL Blocks Links from LiveJournal · · Score: 2, Interesting


    Pretty soon AOL will have blocked all of it's lusers from the entire web.

  9. Re:Why does he think it's spammers? on DoS Assaults Underway Against Spam Blocklists · · Score: 1


    Exactly. Once you're on the list, that's pretty much it.. no matter how the hell you got there, you're there, for good.

    I had the unfortunate luck of moving a brand new domain I just purchased to a "new" ip address that was already listed there. I realized very soon I pretty much couldn't send mail from that IP cause of the stupid blacklists. Had to move elsewhere, eating all the setup and re-setup charges of the move.

    I think it's best to run a local filter. Spamassassin is great.

    I don't think crackheads would want to be associated with a bunch of scum bag liars like SCO.

  12. Re:Read between the lines on Microsoft Stops Development Of Outlook Express · · Score: -1, Flamebait


    Imagine that, a sensible idea to get the best of both worlds that doesn't involve putting a blanket ban on HTML mail.

    Imagine how dumb you and M$ are.. That's about as useful a feature as the stupid "remove extra line breaks" feature Outlook has. If you think M$ gives a damn about your privacy you need to beaten with a cluestick. Any image can be used as a tracking device, it doesn't have to be a 1x1 pixel size image to track you.

    If I want to view some html I'll open an web client, not an email client.

    As a geek, if you don't already have your favorite roms and emulators burned to cd, you simply don't deserve to play the classics.

    It's like second on the list right after the pr0n get's archived. Geez, what are you guys doing all this time?

  15. Yup.. on OSDL Position Paper on SCO and Linux · · Score: 1


    Granted it's not any sort of official judgement, in my opinion this PDF pretty much sums it up.

    It should take any doubt anyone has about not using Linux due to fear of owing SCO money.

  16. Sweet! on The RIAA Hit List - A Pattern Emerges? · · Score: 1


    This rocks, my favorite band Slayer didn't make the list.

    No matter anyway.. as a loyal fan I own all their cds anyway.

    What I get from this list is that as long as you don't listen to (c)rap you're all set.

  17. The beginning of the end.. on Intrusion Tolerance - Security's Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1


    Yeah, and what happens when you try to turn them off? They will think it's a possible attack and refuse to be shutdown.

    Movies like the Matrix and T-3 come to mind. I think this is a bad idea.

    Flash is a scourge, and so is Shockwave.

    You have any idea why there aren't any cavemen around anymore?

    There is nothing wrong with Flash, it's here to stay.. so deal with it.

  20. Re:Breaking news ... on Linus Moves To OSDL, Will Work On Kernel Full-Time · · Score: 1, Insightful


    No, it will work much like iptables. You will provide it with a set of filter rules which it will enforce. Changes to the ruleset will not require kernel recompilation, only a reload of the filtering module or service.

    The logic behind placing it directly in the kernel is the same as always, speed.

  21. Re:Started to think 2.4.x was dead on Linux Kernel 2.4.21 Released · · Score: 1


    Mandrake has already put the "2.4.21" kernel in their 9.1 release

    This would not really be possible since 2.4.21 was only released today. Unless Mandrake has a time machine or something..

    They may have released their distro with a heavily patched 2.4.20 or possibly a 2.4.21-rc*, but not 2.4.21.

  22. Give them GNU/Linux, not windoze on The Little Coder's Predicament · · Score: 2, Informative


    Give them a full GNU/Linux install. It will include gcc, glibc, autoconf, etc..

    Or you could make them build their own LFS system like I make my kids. Sink or swim I always say. :)

  23. LFS on Ask ReiserFS Project Leader Hans Reiser · · Score: 1


    Why can't I use the one-partition hint with LFS builds with Reiser? LFS notes some weird kind of recursion error if a recursive mount is performed on the file system. So, as such I must use ext2 or ext3 when moving a new LFS into place of a canned distro.

    REISERFS WARNING:
    If you're using reiserfs, this hint is almost unusable for you due to deletion errors on a recursive mounted volume with reiserfs (the files will be deleted, but the space wouldn't be freed). You could still use the hint to make everything ready for a transfer using a bootdisk/CD, but don't try the "Delete the previous System" section or further. You've been warned!

    I don't know much about file systems I admit, but I'd like to know about this one area where ext2 and ext3 have a additional feature Reiser does not.

    That means my already too high monthly rate of $75 is gonna increase by 9.1% more? I already pay too much as it is.

  25. pffft.. on IE6 SP1 Will Be Last Standalone Version · · Score: 1


    the future server-side browser detection may be more about detecting whether the browser supports the DRM your "web service" uses than what version of Javascript or CSS the browser supports.

    I doubt it.. seeing how most web pages are coded from html, javascript, and css, not DRM code. Only a small percentage of webpages have any sort of services built into them anyway. I'd say parsing the html will remain a high priority for web browsers for years to come.

    HTML = webpage code, Browser = webpage client, did I miss something?
