  1. Re:Alternative root systems on When Worlds Collide: The New Dot-Biz And The Old · · Score: 2
    Just to give an example..

    Try going to chatyahoo.com or mailyahoo.com.

    I wonder what other addresses has yahoo taken for itself !!

  2. And what if ... on Naughty Words in Domains · · Score: 1
    They start banning names with sex in it ??

    maybe www.sussex.ac.uk will have to get another name for itself :-)

  3. Re:It seems to have a different meaning in the US. on Naughty Words in Domains · · Score: 1

    And i regularly use one to do some disk related stuff on my unix machines..

    anyone remember "fsck" ??

    :-)

  4. Re:Blocking IP's not technically difficult. on French Judge Demands Yahoo Censor Auctions · · Score: 1

    It might be difficult..
    consider an american company, with a branch in france. The employees working in france have a direct link to the america office, and then they access the internet through the american proxy.

    now, to the world, the person acessing the net from france is the same as the person accessing the net from america..

    Isn't it that simple ??

  5. An Internet for France... on French Judge Demands Yahoo Censor Auctions · · Score: 1

    Just a thought.. will the judiciary in France rule someday to create a separate internet for France ??

    And then lawsuits will be files against .com's to start their operations in france for the french internet :-)

  6. Not very good.... on Tech Stocks Rollercoaster - How Was Your Ride? · · Score: 1

    For those people who joined the tech companies during the peak are the worst sufferers. People who joined about 4 months before them are millionares now, whereas the stock value for those unfortunate fellows is just equal these days..

    Lets hope that the bottom is reached now, and it starts to go up. The stock options received during the peak are all gone.. no use :-)

    Any other similar views ??

  7. hey.. come on... on What Are Advantages/Disavantages To Flex Time? · · Score: 2

    I always thought that flex time was a way by which the management would save money. It doesn't have to pay overtime to ppl who work more :-)

    There are a few other things too that come to mind.
    1. You can do peronal work in office time, if it's a flex time. You can move around.
    2. Weekends are not free when you work in flex time. you gotta finish off the things you are supposed to do but you did not do because of flex time.

    any other issues ???

  8. but then.. on Soviet Computing Technology? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't they have continued using the same things ??

    Or, wouldn't we have seen something of it post cold war ??

    Or was it just a top secret, to be used in the cold war period, but not to be given out after that ??

    just wondering...

  9. commercial debian ... on Ian Murdock On 'Pure' Vs. 'Commercial' Debian · · Score: 3

    I personally think that it would bring debian to the masses...

    Linux users, who are using RedHat, just have a lot of trouble moving on to debian after they have worked on RedHat (ppl might differ on this) but i'm talking of not so geek linux user.

    So a commercial debian, which simplifies the installation a bit, and gives the same power of debian to the users would be more than acceptable, and would include one more distro available in the linux arena..

  10. So do we expect Redhat 7.1... on Linus Confirms 2.4 In December · · Score: 1

    by January ??

    Looking at how RedHat 7.0 is going, i think they might be thinking of 7.1 very soon. But how soon could it be ?

    dunno 'bout others (never bothered to check them since i got googling :-), but yahoo uses google..

  12. Re:Like MS on An Open Letter From Bob Young · · Score: 1

    > As for having them define a standard and just have everyone else follow it, we all know that that is not a good thing

    dunno, but isn't it that they too follow the opensource model, and anyone who wants can contribute to the redhat standards ? Can't I, for instance go ahead, sign up for a mailing list, and air my views on the discussions going on for linux standards ?

    .sig ???
