  1. Re:sony and lack of QC on Digital Camera Failures · · Score: 1

    My last failed Sony product:
    a 24" widescreen monitor FW-900

    It died after 3 years (flimmers, yellow corners)
    and I had paid a lot for it :-/

  7. Re:OBSD in samag on The Perl Journal Archive Back (and Online Too!) · · Score: 1

    deadly.org doesn't work. I read www.deadly.org
    since long time, thank you pal. I haven't seen
    a worthwile BSD-article in Samag since long time.
    WOuld you care to list the 3 articles?

  8. Sysadmin is boring on The Perl Journal Archive Back (and Online Too!) · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's funny, because I actually was going not to prolong my subscription to Sysadmin: I subscribed to it a year ago and am disappointed how boring it is. No good shell scripts, no information about my favorite operating system, lots of annoying commercials. Only Merlin's articles were good. They should look at some german magazines and learn how to do an interesting and enthusiastic Unix-publication. I mean Linux Magazine and iX.

    But now since the excellent TPJ is back, I'll extend my subscription of course :-) Great news

  9. Re:What I like and dislike about FreeBSD on FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE Is Ready · · Score: 1
    What I dislike: distribution/ports mixes free and non-free software (Motif etc.) without prompting the user what is free and not; bad not only for Free Software zealots, but also for people who want to make sure they can use software without limitations in their environment (FreeBSD looks as it is made by people for whom software freedom is a secondary concern)

    Then go for OpenBSD - they have performed (and are still performing) a licence audit. Which I think is very clever!

  10. Re:Linux to BSD: Warnings on OpenBSD 2.9 Released · · Score: 1

    I use OpenBSD as firewall on one PC and as desktop on another since 1 year and like it! Already the man pages alone make it worth. Here's a screenshot from my wide-screen 21" Sony FW900

  11. OpenBSD never screws /etc or /dev on Monitoring What Files Your Applications Leave Behind? · · Score: 1

    Not an answer to the original question, but do you guys know that OpenBSD policy is to never touch the /etc (neither from the ports, nor during the system upgrades)?

    As for logging the changed files, how about looking at mtree and tripwire?

  14. Trusted Solaris; Programming tools on Ask Theo de Raadt about OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    I'd like to know, what does Theo think of Sun's
    trusted Solaris and if he is going to download
    the recently released Solaris source code.

    Another question: what tools do you use for
    hacking? Vim or Emacs? ctags and grep and what
    else? Can you share few tricks (like some Vi or
    Emacs commands)?

  17. Re:Plain text passwords?? on Yup, Somebody Cracked Slashdot · · Score: 1

    A half-measure would be the database admin to setup a trigger, allowing fetching only some limited number of forgotten (or stolen) passwords from the database.

  18. Re:Nice License choice on Interbase Open Source Release · · Score: 1

    The reason is that proprietary modifications can be made for "internal" use... and this includes web serving. This means that Microsoft could power all of .NET with a modified version of Interbase (see my root-level post) and not have to give up source. The MPL is a bad license.

    It can be done with the GPL either, since GPL regulates distribution only.

  21. An idea - two web servers. on Digital Voices From Rogue Nations? · · Score: 1

    Sending encrypted data is bad - the government
    does not need to break it - it will put you to
    jail, if they just suspect anything.

    Better setup two public web servers - for
    example some solitaire server in USA and some
    chinese chess (or whatever) in China. And then
    exchange messages by moving cards or pieces.
    Though it will allow only text communication...
