  1. Re:Let ISO die - They are on their way on Microsoft Bids To Take Over Open Document Format · · Score: 1

    While it is probably good for the market is we get rid of microsoft, the idea is create freedom for the users by having a good standard that not just one company controls, but is controlled by most, if not all.

  2. Re:According to Gandhi, we're getting close! on Microsoft Bids To Take Over Open Document Format · · Score: 1

    I only think the list is a bit longer in this case something like: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they try to embrace you, then they try to extend you, then you win, profit (ok last one for the slashdot-crowd)

  4. Re:Doesn't really matter, methinks... on Microsoft Bids To Take Over Open Document Format · · Score: 1

    And IE 5.5 is still the least buggy in the line of IE5, IE5.5, IE6 and IE7. And IE8, well we're not really certain yet.

  5. Re:um, I know! on Microsoft Bids To Take Over Open Document Format · · Score: 1

    And now we also have other common protocols, IP and IPv6. And I don't think there is a big problem people not adopting common protocols.

    'Funny' how they always have there own standard(s)

    Yeah, yeah, -10 redundant.

  10. Re:Mod Parent Dow; Not a fix! on New Denial-of-Service Attack Is a Killer · · Score: 1

    Actually it's probably worse for IPv6, because these attacks are about using up resource in the kernel and ipv6 uses more resources (bigger addresses for a start)

  11. Re:So what? on New Approach To Malware Modifies Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    I think they want to prevent running programs that have had a some kind of overflow and there 'code rewritten' to be able to do things they were never intended to do. And by using source-code analysis this might be an easier way to construct a lot of a program is allowed to do.

    Also the BSD's have something similair I've heared (and forgot the same)

  13. Re:Straightening out some facts on W3C.org Briefly Censored In Finland · · Score: 1

    It's really easy to bypass a provider, use an other ! And that's exactly why I think this doesn't work.

  14. Re:I always watch others multiply on Japan To Get 1Gbps Home Fiber Connections · · Score: 1

    After buying a condo, I heared in my old neighborhood they will start running 100 Mb/s fiber. I'm now I'm "stuck" on 12 Mb/s (1.5 up)

  15. Re:Solaris 10 on NYT Ponders the Future of Solaris In a Linux/Windows World · · Score: 1

    In mean in the way it works, I didn't mention anything else.

    I don't buy from vendors where the drivers are not in mainline or are atleast actively working towards that goal. Otherwise, yes you will get those problems, so don't.

  16. Re:How about some technical analysis on NYT Ponders the Future of Solaris In a Linux/Windows World · · Score: 1

    Also I think the share of Linux-boxes in public places (webservers) is probably larger. Solaris boxes are mostly behind the firewall. Heck the firewall could even be running Linux.

  17. Re:Solaris 10 on NYT Ponders the Future of Solaris In a Linux/Windows World · · Score: 1

    Zones are like Linux-vserver which in Debian is just an apt-get away

    You cant do the same with RedHat.

    It's the reason CentOS exists.

  19. Re:Virtualization makes Solaris less relevant on NYT Ponders the Future of Solaris In a Linux/Windows World · · Score: 1

    AMD is supposed to support virtualization of I/O on their processors, but I've not seen any implementation of it.

    I guess we will agree to disagree

  21. Re:Run your own dns servers .... try powerdns on Best DNS Service With API Access? · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's not nifty to split authoritative and recursive, it's sane (security).

  22. Re:CNAMEs? on Best DNS Service With API Access? · · Score: 1

    Just set up a redirect from example.com to www.example.com and never change that. You can move www.example.com around any way you want. It also works better with google indexing.
