  1. Re:So who is using Slackware? on WindRiver Will Not Keep Slackware · · Score: 2

    I am using Slackware... And "techies" have certainly NOT gone away from Slackware. In fact, Slackware has been the most problem-free distro I have ever used (out of Redhat, SuSE, Debian, Mandrake, Caldera, TurboLinux, IcePack).

    Go away.

  2. Hrmmm... on IBM's New USBKey Device · · Score: 1

    So, has anyone mounted one of these in Linux yet?

    # mount /dev/keychain /key
    mount: /dev/keychain has too much lint.
    # _

  3. More than 4 hours! on "D-VHS": Will it replace DVD? · · Score: 1
    Well, according to the horse's mouth, A D-VHS tape can hold:

    o 3.5 hrs (28.2Mbps, HD mode)

    o 7 hrs (14.1Mbps, STD mode)

    o 14~49 hrs (7~2Mbps, LP mode)

    And to whose credit do we owe this great lump of knowledge, Mr. AC?

    He meant screenshots.

  6. Re:YOU MUST CALL THEM on Verizon Clogged With Tons Of Spam · · Score: 1

    I don't understand your spacing.

  7. Re:well ... on Could LaTeX Replace HTML? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft doesn't own HTML either.

  8. Re:Argh on An RPM Port Of APT · · Score: 1

    No! I'll take a tar over an RPM anyday of the week!
    The only binaries I install are Slackware .tgz's.

  9. Remember AT&T on It's Official: MS Office 10 Subscription Version · · Score: 1

    Remember when you could lease a (touch-tone) phone from AT&T for a few dollars a month?

    Now, after many years, all these old ladies have paid hundreds for a $10 phone.

    Sad...

  10. Re:Yuck... on Windows Whistler Screenshots · · Score: 1

    I would like seperate 15-inch touchscreens for each of my icons.

  11. Re:Why not read... on Gore Puts Internet For Auction On eBay (Updated) · · Score: 1

    You can't get it in Olympia, WA.

  12. Re:You have a lot more to worry about on IE "Persistence" Tracks Without Warning · · Score: 1

    Hear hear!

  13. @Home on Are We Ready For Broadband Internet Access? · · Score: 1

    Of course if AT&T, Time Warner, @Home, AOL come along, they'll cap it at 2.5mbit!

    How fun! :-)

  14. Re:Heh. on Company Uses Grain Elevators for Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Personally, I wouldn't be playing Quake III while a tornado is ripping through my neighboors' yard.




    I would be playing Unreal Tournament. ;-)

  15. eazel? on Helix Code's Red Carpet Simplifies Package Updates · · Score: 1
    So are these folks implementing eazel's Nautilus file manager? (From this picture, it looks not, but I can't be sure)

    If not, it might be worth considering, as it looks pretty spiffy.

  16. Linux? on Machinima On The Horizon · · Score: 1

    Is there any way to get this to run under Linux? Wine perhaps?

  17. Clarification from the article... on USB 2.0 Spec Is Final - Up To 480 MB/s · · Score: 1
    Just to clarify

    "USB 2.0 will extend the speed of the peripheral to PC connection from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 to up to 480 Mbps on USB 2.0 - or 40 times overexisting capabilities."

    Although 320X would be nice. :-)

  18. And? on Are Nitrogen Powered Cars The Future? · · Score: 1

    What about leaking thousands of gallons of nitrogen into the ground or water? How much $$ per gallon or liter?

  19. What about NTSC/PAL?? on The United States Losing "The Tech Edge?" · · Score: 1
    Sometimes waiting is a good thing. Take NTSC and PAL. Having just returned from Europe, I can easily tell that PAL is far superior to NTSC, but it was adopted after NTSC was here in the states.

    But, yes, we are taking a bit too long to get a digital standard for cell phones here. What would be nice is if the US adopted GSM, so you could go back and forth over the pond with the same phone.

    Oh well...

  20. Re:Requires RedHat?? --but it's still there on Mozilla M16 Released · · Score: 1
    Crashed on Slackware 7.0, but... I checked /usr/local/mozilla (where I told it to install) and it was there with all the trimmings.

    Just check your destination directory, it is quite possible it's in there even with the seg. fault.

    Our government never ceases to amaze me...

    I'll bet their database of pr0n websites is more secure...

    Good grief!

  22. Prices... on The Oldest Knives In The Solar System · · Score: 2
    The prices of these things can be found here.

    The are rather expensive, at about $800 - $2100 each! Cool though...

  23. Bandwidth? on Advertising Via GPS · · Score: 2
    So how much will this slow "update" times?

    Let's say that we want to find a street corner is Seattle, do we have to wait an extra two minutes while it downloads an animated banner at 9600 bps?

  24. Re:ASF stands for... on Cable Industry backs Mpeg-4 for Streaming Video · · Score: 1

    I sure hope you were being sarcastic with that last line....

  25. Organization? on Aiwa car CD-MP3 player · · Score: 1

    How does this thing organize MP3's? In other words, do you have to dump all the MP3's in the root directory or can you organize them in folders? Is there a playlist editor (can I choose one directory to play)? Or do I just stick the CD in and it starts randomly playing an MP3 without my control? All that would seem hard to do on a tiny little display. --Nicholas
