  1. NT Cert on YA Microsoft Linux Screed · · Score: 2

    It was the C-2 certification, IIRC. The NT 4 Resource Kit comes with an auditing applet to apply the "easy" fixes to meet the cert., ie. turn off HPFS and POSIX, disable the floppy and remove the NIC.

  2. Re:My scorecard on this: hits and misses on Miracles Of The Next Fifty Years, As Of 1950 · · Score: 2

    You left out Shaving With Chemicals. (It was one of the "cartoons.") I think it is called "Magic Shave." I was introduced to it in high school, me being a swimmer and shaving many things about myself. With Magic Shave, you apply it, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrape it off with a stiff edge, such as a butter knife. I was told people who are prone to shaving bumps find it a very nice alternative.

  11. Re:More anti-Stallman BS... on OSI Approves Apple, IBM Licenses · · Score: 2

    Proprietory software developers (who are the only ones who are disadvantaged by the GPL vs say, the BSD license) dont need community development software.

    What about the most famous, or at least the most visible/talked about here on /., proprietary software developer, Microsoft? IIRC, they used the BSD TCP/IP stack as the base for NT's TCP/IP stack.
