  1. Re:A swing and a miss on Linux Media Jukebox on the Cheap · · Score: 1

    Actually, try Matrix Orbital. They are a little more expensive, but have more options, including LCDs with build in connectors for keypads (one even takes a AT keyboard!)

  2. Re:Curious: Anyone running this on a fanless Epia? on Linux Media Jukebox on the Cheap · · Score: 1

    I have the EPIA-600 /proc/cpuinfo says I'm a CentaurHauls at 599.723 MHz, and is quite nice. No fan, and plays MP3s like nobody's business. Don't know about video or X, see linitx or miniitx for more info!

    Even a student should be able to afford a 1800 Athlon XP + mobo for $86 at Fry's (apparently AMD is 0wn1ng Intel on price...)

    It exists! It's right here! :)

  8. Re:Admire the hilt on this pig sticker. on Open Source DRM · · Score: 1

    They can't do anything ANYTHING unless the DRM goes all the way into the kernel drivers, because if it is ever decripted digital data, then it is ours to eat. Care for a little tee, anyone?

  9. Re:Please on Open Source DRM · · Score: 1

    That's why I've decided to combine the key and the file! I'm applying for a patent covering double ROT13 encoding of music files, which means you don't have to worry about having the keyfile! :)

    I know this is late,
    but for posterities sake,
    I tell my drive's fate. :)

    I had a 160 GB disk in a box on my front seat for about a year, and I didn't drive carefully, and the drive is still running.

  13. Re:Good timing on Windows 2003 Going Gold · · Score: 2, Funny

    Chrysler, for example is using a large Linux cluster to simulate and analyze crash test results.

    Wouldn't Windows Clusters be better for crash testing?

  14. Re:Linux doesn't support ACLs on Windows 2003 Going Gold · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yup, it does. There are some little squiggles, (such as the Everyone group can't be removed, to get the same result that you get from removing it in Win2k, you have to deny all permissions to it), but other then that it works fine (be sure you compile Samba with ACL support.)

  15. Re:Redhat does not fix its older lines. on Microsoft Refuses To Fix NT 4.0 Exploit · · Score: 1

    You should probably run Samba 2.2.8 before you get 0wn3d like NT.

  16. Re:I tend to think on Intel Patents Anti-Overclocking Technology · · Score: 1

    How do they know that you overclocked it when you send it in for warranty replacement?

    Is there a thing that burns out the moment it goes above its rated speed?

    It has to do with the Cold War, where Russian things were spelled with Ks.

  25. Re:Lose/Loose? on Slashback: Humility, Patents. Vapor.com · · Score: 1

    It is a pronoun. Therefore, like all pronouns, it doesn't need an apostrophe to make a possesive.

    Just think this way:

    it's cat
    hi's cat
    he'r cat
    thei'r cat

    All pronouns, all with apostrophes!
