  1. Re:Linux Security on Linux 2.2.18 Released · · Score: 1

    Replace 'IE' with 'NT' and read the story again...
    makes sense now eh???

  2. Re:I draw the line at being called a thief on Petreley On Microsoft And Linux · · Score: 1

    Bob wasn't innovative?
    No it wasn't, it was just plain stupid.

    What about that optical mouse?
    Innovative??? Perhaps; Quality??? Nopez...
    I had an Intellimouse Explorer, until the thin, bad design mousebuttons broke, and the silver layer started to come of

    And, erm, the XBox.
    Oh yeah, merging a PC with a console, now *that's* innovative. Knowing Microsoft, by the time this thing is released, real consoles will be much better (playstation 7 anyone?) and so will pc's.

    Yay, go us.
    Yay.............

  3. Re:I draw the line at being called a thief on Petreley On Microsoft And Linux · · Score: 1

    We work hard on developing quality, innovative products here at Microsoft

    Can't you tell us some more about these 'quality, innovative products' you're working on? It must have been kept quite a secret, since nobody has ever heard of these products until now.

  4. Re:Not really . . .. on Web-Based E-mail Isn't Safe From Corporate Eyes · · Score: 1

    Ofcourse there are ways around that too...
    LILO: linux init=/bin/bash

    Instead of loading /sbin/init it now loads a shell immediately after booting the kernel.
    Now use mount / -n -o remount,rw ; vi /etc/shadow or /etc/passwd and remove the root password.

  5. Re:England? Scotland maybe? on Aussies Put Old Pay-TV Dishes To Use -- As A LAN · · Score: 1

    "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the Spaniards."

  6. Re:Excuse me but you missed another million on Student Gets PC Confiscated For Distributing MP3s · · Score: 1

    They should go after the Backstreet Boys themselves instead. (and all other artists)
    They're the ones who put that copyright there in the first place. If they didn't, people wouldn't need to share copyrighted work (they'd be sharing non-copyrighted work, which isn't illegal) therefore they are the guilty ones.

  7. Re:finally some free stuff from micro$oft on IP Tunneling Through Nameservers · · Score: 1

    Perhaps someone working for aol/compuserve can sneak it on their promo cd's
    In no time every single person on the whole planet will have at least ten copies for free.

  8. Re:OpenReligion on Hackers And Mysticism? · · Score: 1

    Sure, but which license will the prayers be in?

    They'll be GPL'ed (General Prayer License)

  9. Re:Thanks Rob on Free Barcode Reader From Radio Shack · · Score: 2

    Tomorrow on the news: 'Radio Shack Slashdotted'

  10. Re:Caffeine has it'sown MSDS too on Caffeine Vault · · Score: 5

    The correct link is: http://erowid.org/ch emicals/caffeine/caffeine_data_sheet.shtml

    if 13 mg/kg is toxic, then for a 200lb (100kg) person the toxicity level = 13mg/kg * 100kg =1300mg

  11. Re:It's hideous! on First Look At The New Palms · · Score: 1

    And a 25% smaller screen? That's just not going to be very useful to people

    A 25% smaller screen isn't really a problem, as long as the resolution is the same.
    The problem with these is, the graffiti-area will also be 25% smaller, which will make it harder to use. (I sometimes have trouble writing on my IIIe)

  12. Re:why are they so expensive anyway? on First Look At The New Palms · · Score: 1

    The IIIxe has flash ram for the OS, the IIIe doesn't.
    (it has the OS in rom - which is therefore not upgradable)

  13. Re:Damn foreigners... on Non-Profit Australian ISP: Thrift Through Penguins · · Score: 1

    Actually, no - it's 2.54 millimeters, to be exact ;)

    Actually, no - it's 25.4 millimeters, to be exact ;)
    (or 2.54 centimeters :)

  14. Re:I'd love to see such a system on Pirate DNS? · · Score: 1

    I don't think this 'pirate' system will be officially recognized by nsi, so if they want to use a name already in use by the new system, they'll just use it anyway, even if that means some people won't be able to reach a part of the 'official' net. that'll be their problem then.

  15. Appeal? on Justice Department Decides To Break Up Microsoft · · Score: 1
    [quote final ruling section 1 d]
    d. Until Implementation of the Plan, Microsoft shall:

    [...]

    iii. take no action that undermines, frustrates, interferes with, or makes more difficult the divestiture required by this Final Judgment without the prior approval of the Court; and
    [end quote]

    Would this mean Microsoft cannot appeal without 'the prior approval of the Court' since appeal would undermine or interfere with the split.

  16. Java??? on The "New" Amiga Finally Releases Something · · Score: 1
    The Amiga OS is capable of being self-hosted, and sitting on top of other operating systems.
    The new OS also embraces the Java language in a new, powerful and compliant way.

    I dunno, but this sounds like a bad idea to me.
    Instead of a slow combination hardware-os-jvm-applic you'll now get hardware-os-somesortofemulationlayer-amigaos-jvm-a pplic

    And besides, aren't they just trying to reinvent java:
    A single application is capable of running on X86, Power PC, M.core, ARM, StrongArm, MIPs, SH3/4, and others

  17. Re:If only NASA could... on Hubble Delivers Indications Of Black Holes · · Score: 1

    But then again Microsoft would probably buy out NASA and patent the photos as proprietary source code

    Let's hope not, before you know it will only be possible to travel trough time in a spaceship running MS Windows 3122 TSE ( TimeShip edition )

  18. Re:not too shabby on Experiences of Running Linux on a Mainframe · · Score: 1

    Perhaps in the near future...
    I've heard rumors IBM is going to support Linux running on an INS (Integrated Netfinity Server) - pc server inside as400, sharing storage space.
    Seems to me like a powerful combination.
