  1. Re:OCR on Semacode - Hyperlinks For The Real World · · Score: 1

    Which costs a lot of processing power.

  2. Re:screenshots on Ignalum Linux - A Bridge to Windows? · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should take a better look at the screenshots, these are screenshots of the installation and setup of the server your looking at.

    I'm not too surpriced they use root for that, are you ?

  3. Re:no viruses for linux yet because.... on Worms Jack Up the Total Cost of Windows · · Score: 1

    But people can compile/install djbdns instead (automated compile ofcourse... because of the license... yes I know it's a bit annoying)

  4. Re:no viruses for linux yet because.... on Worms Jack Up the Total Cost of Windows · · Score: 1

    a bot would only be able to start after a reboot if the same user logged back in, I think that's an important difference.

  5. Re:no viruses for linux yet because.... on Worms Jack Up the Total Cost of Windows · · Score: 1

    That's why there is gnome-sudo (or something), it will popup username/password-popup-window

  6. Forgot one ! on Will Novell Adopt The LTSP Project? · · Score: 1

    It's of CD, no floppy or ROM needed. :-)

  7. Network Printer on Will Novell Adopt The LTSP Project? · · Score: 1

    People want/need a good Network Laser Printer.. don't they ?

    Who wants to give up desk-space for something silly as a printer ?

    If it prints to a set of 3 printers in seperate room, that's just perfect (automatic printer routing, weeeeh ! ;-) ).

  8. Migration on Will Novell Adopt The LTSP Project? · · Score: 1

    As Novell will be releasing a Linux and a Netware bases File-server/whatever, they need to be able to easily migrate between those.

    Filesystem-support is definitly something you'd need.

  9. Re:Not entirely accurate for 'normal usage'. on NetBSD Sets Internet2 Land Speed World Record · · Score: 1

    I guess that's what they are doing with Lustre.

    Only then Linux is de 'file-server'.

    They are 'pretty' much done, if you pay Cluster File Systems Inc. (US$ 5000), they'll give you the latest version and support if something doesn't work.

    You could say, they are between stable and beta-testing (lot's of things are done, just a number of corner cases that there current customer-base doesn't need yet).

  10. Re:Isn't anyone concerned about this quote? on Walmart Begins Rollout of RFID and EPC Tags · · Score: 1

    Occasionally, when I need new wood to keep the firewall burning.

  11. Re:netcraft confirms on Miguel de Icaza on Mono, Ximian/Novell, XAML · · Score: 1

    important difference: Apple is tied to a certain type of hardware, that a lot of people don't have (and buying hardware is thus an other hurdle).

  12. Re:I guess it's a nice to have... on "Missing Link" In Windows Emulation Unveiled? · · Score: 1

    When Visio wasn't a Microsoft product, it was much better (try the snapping for example).

  13. Re:Not Legit on "Missing Link" In Windows Emulation Unveiled? · · Score: 1

    Actually that doesn't work, there are background processes involved.

    I've done the LogOff/LogOn
    and still have the same problem, where reboot would solve it.

    I've not figured out yet, which processes those are though.

  14. Re:What's the best way to organize? on DCC2 Protocol for IRC file transfers · · Score: 1

    Mailinglist with a wiki, who needs anything else ?

    Reminds me, we need at work.

  15. Re:Not far from truth on The Average PC is Infested with Spyware · · Score: 1

    Sounds a lot like:

    to me.

  16. Re:Tragedy of the commons forming! on Use Multiple Channels for Faster Wireless Networking · · Score: 1

    If I understand this right, what you then could do is use a full-duplex system, when using 2 channels, one for sending, one for sending from the otherside (receiving).

    This could really speed it up when using directional equipment.

  17. Re:CARP also works on Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD 3. on Firewall Failover With pfsync And CARP · · Score: 1

    However there is no pfsync (or similair) for netfilter (if you'd like to have failover-firewalls).

    But supposedly it doesn't matter, because netfilter doesn't have TCP window tracking.

    And because existing connections are considered new by netfilter, it should work in theory (if you allow new connections, for all the established-connections).

    Balancing won't work however, because UCARP doesn't do that, if I understand it correctly.

    As there is no replication, rules should be replicated an other way (something like rules from LDAP for example would be a usefull way).

  18. Re:Worse financial situation than we think? on Sun Sacks UltraSparc V and 3300 Employees · · Score: 1

    Only if they use an appropriate condom, thank you.

  19. Re:Spammer's heaven on Microsoft Authorized Refurbishers · · Score: 1

    Then they can get a new donated PC and buy a new (supported) Windows, that's what they care about.

    Money.

  20. Re:Windows 98? on Microsoft Authorized Refurbishers · · Score: 1

    Actually Windows98 can run and part of it still is/was 16 bit software.

  21. Re:A better idea... on The Only Way Microsoft Can Die is by Suicide · · Score: 1

    That's why web application are good, if there are only webapplications, you only need a NC.

    This could then be Linux and desktops can be simple again, maybe games at home, what do I care. If there is no data on there, you can just reinstall after installing a game or something or get an X-Box type thing from Microsoft

    Microsoft creates to difficult desktops, they want something the DoD wants and sell it to every1 else (I'm talking rights & capabilities here).

    In the meanwhile Microsoft fucks up all the other software and makes it insecure with bufferoverruns.

    So what do you have ? Every1 uses default security settings, the system sometimes kills itself because it was to complex to make.

    Coupled with the buffer overruns... ok, sorry for the rant

  22. Re:While we're at it on Sun's President Dreams of a Linux Future · · Score: 1

    Because msttcorefonts is non-free (as by Debian Non-Free definitions), as everything (expect maybe 1 very recent package on sourceforge ?) from Microsoft.

  23. Re:Stand By For Prestige Adjustment on Sun's President Dreams of a Linux Future · · Score: 1

    SGI tried lower-end and went back to high-end.

    Don't know if it's good or bad though.

    Maybe IBM is trying to go much more core-business (services ?) they went out the HD-business for example.

    whatever, I'm talking shit today.

  24. Re:What kind of distribution? on Gigabit Networking for the Home? · · Score: 1

    That's what rsync is for, you can also keep history that way (see the --backup and --backup-dir options).

    It was created by Andrew Tridgell to be used on "wet string", as he called the Australian internet connections.
