    SSH & IPSec = no match to government security equipment...

    Do you REALLY think they don't have something to decipher all encrypted traffic?

  3. Re:I faxed Huckabee... on "Super-DMCA" Bills In Tennessee and Arkansas · · Score: 1

    Why short of a revolution?

    Their attention is obviously not directed at us (See lobbying, MPAA, RIAA) so we've got to do SOMETHING to get their attention.

    Alternatives to RIAA/MPAA entertainment should be #1 priority to anyone who doesn't enjoy them having such tight control on our government.
    If the artists would actually start standing up for citizen's (notice I didn't call us consumers) rights and liberties then there would be less of a problem here. Until then, the machine lives on...

    quote: The problem appears to centre on the Select Customer - ie. non-academic volume licence purchasers

    maybe you should read the article. chances are they bought a batch of custom computers from Dell or others and this is what it came with.

    you can keep laughing though. nothing wrong with knowing you're smarter than someone else.

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

    but it's linux so it's on slashdot.

    it's a bitch about slashdot and how shitty the articles are so it's modded +4 insightful.

    newsflash! nobody forces you to come here! besides, I've seen 2 posts on this particular story from you. must not be that bad.

    *endofrant*

    anyways, the LCD display and a few buttons won't ever happen. the most you could hope for is a wireless keypad to do basic controls and move the mouse cursor around with a built-in trackball.

    It's still just a midrange PC with Red Hat installed.

    I can do wonders with an extremely old computer with Red Hat. With a midrange PC I could pull of plenty of useful things. It may not fry your eggs but its more than just a midrange PC with Red Hat installed.

  7. Re:Highlights issues w/ US ISPs on Rolling Out Broadband Internet, On The Cheap · · Score: 1

    The problem with the price fixes in the US has all to do with monopolies. I know this first hand.

    If I could pay 100 bucks a month for a PRI/T1, then I would charge my normal ratio of customers per line with the lower cost involved.

    Unfortunately, like most of the US, my ISP runs where there is only 1 telco. That 1 telco, does not like to drop its prices at all. Whether or not their cost goes down.

  8. Re:Timing on Toroidal Engine Ready for Production · · Score: 3, Informative

    timing belt on a piston based engine goes bad, your timing goes way off and the engine won't be functional until its replaced.

    that does seem to be a huge problem with this engine's design. it may be a timing chain (less prone to failure) on these engines though.

    rotary is the best engine design when it comes to failures, but is also not very efficient and seems to have been dropped by everyone (basically mazda).

    so you're saying we have roughly 3.5 million dead iraqi's, and the rest only have 1 leg?

    goodwill creates a REPEAT customerbase.

    I would tend to trust and appreciate a company more that has spent its money to better the world of OSS and the world of computing with the interest in making a better product for everyone and not just its customers...

  15. Re:It's an excellent strategy. on Windows 2003 Going Gold · · Score: 1

    You need to get off your horse.

    If you want to spend $5,000 on a single copy of an OS, then you may get LIFETIME support for the product. NT4 is almost 10 years old. They're NOT going to support it forever. Its ridiculous.

    Try getting support for any 10 year old piece of software (from the vendor).

  17. Great book on Linux for the Rest of Us · · Score: 1

    This is a great book.

    It only costs $11 from Amazon.


    If you have someone who is realizing Windows is WONDERFUL (sarcasm intended..duh), give them this book and the latest distro of choice (mandrake/redhat for ease of use). Help someone else be released from the borg.

  18. Re:Why do I read the articles first? on Life on the Road with 3G · · Score: 1

    Good point. And 4 paragraphs into the article at that.

    A good read but why can't the editors read the article? too busy posting a copy of the last article their teammates posted?

    its a "because we can" article & modification.

    anyone serious about being headless and saving space would get a rack and use 1u/2u servers.

    also voids the warranty. kind of pointless to do all this besides just being a case mod (which we all know case mods aren't pointless.......uhh......)

    smart-ass. its just a simple blurb on pc vs. mac. its not adobe dropping mac support. its not adobe PRFERRING PC over mac.
