  1. Re:Let's hope their quality doesn't die on Novell To Cease NetWare Development? · · Score: 1

    Impossible. Today we buy rack cabinets and put servers in. Imagine the heat it will generate in a walled up room. Hmm, sick, our hardware need fresh air just like us. =P

  2. Holy shit! on Novell Buys Ximian · · Score: 0

    I predict this will have major impact on both Novell and the open source community. Novell will use OpenSSL and OpenSSH on their next major OS release. Imagine it with a sensible desktop? If they put money in mono they can drop their sluggish java stuff. Somehow I've always had trust in Novell and I certainly hope they hold.

    One more nail in the coffin in Redmond. Cheerz! =)

    Not necessary to have an 18 wheeler. A 2 wheeled dirtbike will impress most of 'em. (Not been tested!)

    I am a semi-geek. The geek side never interferes with my macho side and vice-versa. I like to call myself an multi-dimensional array. Some call me Mr. Hyde.

    "I won't do it in front of the dog" gets a whole new meaning.

  9. Application. on 'Pacemaker'-like GPS Device for Humans · · Score: 1

    Is it proprietary communication or may I use Perl to write my own personal tracker application reporting every heartbeat to my very own MySQL database thru SSH tunnels? Imagine every heartbeat is a row in a database showing where and when it occured. You can spend the rest of your life making summarizing reports. Well, if that's the case, I'm in. Otherwise, drop the big brother stuff and show us the source!

  10. Re:Look on the bright side on Verisign Granted DNS Lookup Patent · · Score: 1, Interesting
    It would be easy for any search engine to make a 4 sectioned nested look thru the IP address space. DNS is obsolete.

    Ha, classic. The good thing about Open Source is that you're not hostage by someone elses support department.

  12. My 2 cents. on How Would You Argue for Open Source? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I work (Sysadmin/Webmaster) at a fairly big corporation 70000++ employees. Their IT strategy: "If there is a good Microsoft solution we'll use that. If there isn't, we'll use it anyway". Our business unit (400 employees) is pretty rogue and my boss see all the benefits of free software and community supported software. Apache is de facto and Linux as far as we can go. (HPC, Infrastructure and so on). But still, the IT organization is breathing down our necks and wonders what the hell we are doing but we don't care and there is no end in sight. We are even about to deploy an open source framework for content management and administrative applications. (project management, document management and so on). Java based running on Tomcat along with MySQL. Hey, I love my job! =)

  13. This will be a long one... on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 0

    Since I grow up with a Philips G7000 next to my dipers, videogames have affected my life. More or less made me what I am today. I remember racing those blocky cars around a square race track and playing space invader type games. Next up was my Vectrex, video gaming in a black box with monitor and joysticks in one package. It had an asteroid like game called Mine Storm which I still hum the tunes in my head to when the mothership laid out mines. Offcourse the VIC20 was there along with C64 and Amiga. When I was twelwe years old, fifteen years ago I had my C64, Vectrex and Amiga hooked up in my attic and I could stay there all day long, playing games, fiddling with my TFCIII and Action Replay carts. Those were the days. =) This went offtopic. =| Well there are games and there are games that make you react. I kind of a weak nerv person, Resident Evil made me jump like an old lady when the dogs fly thru the windows in the first sequence of the game. I also remember a scene where a "dead" zombie jumps up and grabs the characters leg. Silent Hill made me sick too. One of my "best of alltimes" game is Total Annihilation and there is some sort of eerie feeling of control and power that come creeping when you launch the game. Running skirmishes with ten tweaked AI's and come out on top with enough firepower to destroy our solar system ten times over. Beating the hell out of your friends on a LAN is blast too! =) Racing games has also filled my life with joy, titles like Super Sprint, Rock'n'Roll Racing, Wipeout, Ridge Racer and Gran Turismo has made me take those IRL corners in whole different way. (My Opel Frontera (Isuzu Rodeo) in no race car but it has wheels!) The games that have filled me with joy and filled my eyes with tears is the Final Fantasy series. I feel a warm and fuzzy feeling just remembering those days when I'm out hunting with Terra and Locke from FF3 and swinging my Gunblade with Squall Leonhart. Well, time goes by. All I do these days is taking a couple of DM's in UT2003 and now then then meet up with my friends and shoot some "Sergeis" in a Rainbow Six game and have a go in the current RTS game. Nothing groundbreaking. Heck, I'm 27 and there are loads of other stuff do then just to sit around in a couch or hang out on Slashdot. =P

    This is my absolute favorite anime all categories. I really hope JC get this right. I don't really think he knows what he's up against. This has been done before with variable success. Fall flat or win big. If this delivers that cyberpunk-fairy-tale-feeling as the original anime, congrats. Who will play Alita anyway? Who can play innocent and total mayhem ownzored bounty hunter? Well, good luck, hope don't hollywood wrecks it.
