  1. Re:I was there on A Brief History of Slashdot Part 1, Chips & Dips · · Score: 1

    IIRC the first time I found CnD was looking for an Afterstep theme or config file. Might have been WM though; hard to believe it's been ten years. Just wish I hadn't waited around so I could have gotten one of the Duckpins or something along those lines? I remember downloading it over my whopping 33.6 and it seeming to take forever at the time.

  2. Re:Plan 9 has had this feature for a long time on Knoppix 3.8 at CeBIT w/ Kernel 2.6, FF, and More · · Score: 1

    According to the mount_unionfs manpage in FreeBSD and OpenBSD this same functionality was introduced by March 27, 1994...

    Ever heard of something called VMS (OpenVMS these days...)? Built-in version control, at the filesystem level.

  4. Media Matters on Blogging and Sponsorship and Openness · · Score: 1

    http://mediamatters.org/ is a good place to start if you are interested in just how twisted our "unbiased" media has become.

  5. Re:Censorship resistant networks on Exeem "Successor" to Suprnova Announced · · Score: 1

    Isn't it better to just constantly reinvent the wheel, which seems to be the normal procedure for p2p apps...

  6. Re:Well... on SpaceDev Auctioning Microsatellite Mission On Ebay · · Score: 2, Informative
    If you read the fine print:
    This mission, payload and its high bidder must comply with all appropriate regulations including but not limited to the United States Department of State International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and export-related regulations. This includes but is not limited to restrictions on residency and transfer of technology outside of the United States.
  7. Barebones Linux? Try NetBSD on Ask Slashdot: Creating a "Personal" Linux Distribution? · · Score: 1

    I'd have to agree with this. NetBSD is a nice, bare-bones system which requires you to learn quite a lot about the system. I installed it on an old 486 just for fun and ended up having quite a good time.
