  1. Re:Exclusion of SELinux as a default? on Fedora Core 2 Test 3 Released · · Score: 1

    My issue with having SELinux enabled when I installed Test 2 was that no one except root could log in. I found in various forums that I was not the only person having this problem. Disabled SELinux, and I could log in using a user acct.
    There was no documentation that I could find that explained how to set it up correctly--though I'd be interested to see something in plain English about it.

  2. Re:Floating point performance on Mini-ITX Clustering · · Score: 4, Informative

    There are Pentium-M boards.

    I'm not aware of any Athlon-based boards, but mostly because I'm satisfied with my Via-based M10000 board.

  3. GnuCash on Transferring Your Outlook and Quickbooks Data to Mac OS X? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Can Quickbooks export a QIF or OFX file? If so, you might want to look at GnuCash for your finance package. It takes a bit of work to get all the dependent packages taken care of, but using fink, or fink + FinkCommander, it's not too bad. I ended up not using the QIF import, though, and just started cold-turkey, inputting data into GnuCash. Worked fine for me.

    I can't say much for MoneyDance, the other main financial package option.

  4. Re:Recyclables. on Going Through the Garbage · · Score: 1

    If the garbage or recycling is on the curb, it's fair game. If the can/bin is next to house and not on the curb, it is still private property. That is how the reporters were able to go through the mayor's recycling but not her garbage, which according to the story was up next to her garage. (This is old news...last Tuesday's Willy Week.)

    So yes, if you could get a reasonable return on recycling paper, one could make quite a racket snagging other people's recycling. But then people probably wouldn't set it out, they'd be selling it themselves. The costs involved in collecting the tons of newsprint required are higher than what you'd get for the newsprint :(

  5. Re:Realism on Building Your Own Hobbit Hole · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just watched it last night. What I got out of it was that stepping backwards into the chandelier was scripted, but turning and slamming his head into the structural beam of the hobbit-hole was not in the script at all.
