  1. Obligatory beowolf comment on An Interesting Boot Log On Alpha · · Score: 2

    I can't resist saying this.... it'd be cool to have a beowolf cluster of these babies!!

  2. BAN THEM!! BAN THEM ALL LIKE THE FOOLS THEY ARE!! on Freenet 0.3 Released · · Score: 2

    Looks like the moderators have their work cut out for them... And, in an attempt to stay on-topic... is there going any attempt to benchmark the different kinds of peer-to-peer networks (Gnutella, Freenet, etc..) to see which one is "best" as far as how bandwidth it uses (for a particular sub-network), how long it takes to search and retrieve a file, etc... as time goes by, it might interesting to rebenchmark the services again, to see if there's any change in the way it uses bandwidth. One good reason for this is that there's been a lot of complaints about how these "decentralized" networks sucks up a lot of bandwidth.

  3. Slackware market share? on Red Hat's Linux Market Share Eroding? · · Score: 1

    I may have missed it, but what was the market share of slackware?

  4. This has been said before... on Metallica Vs. Harvard · · Score: 1

    But Metallica's just basically alienating themselves from the computer-savy generation. However, I'm not sure how Metallica could make money without pissing off their own fan base.

  5. SOUND CARD support in Linux... on Gamespy on Linux Gaming · · Score: 2

    The one thing that Linux needs is better support for sound cards... I installed Red Hat Linux 6.0 on a Dell system that had a Turtle Beach Montego sound card... no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to work.

  6. The real reason is... on Internet 2 Crawls Forward · · Score: 1

    Nature hates a vacuum.

  7. The biggest problem... on Internet 2 Crawls Forward · · Score: 1

    The biggest problem Is that the internet is already too much of a standard.. it's easy to change standands if they're not too popular or used that much... Want proof of this? In some cases, we're still using the kermit protocol to download.. if anyone doesn't know, this is one of the first protocols written for the internet. So that leaves Internet2 to the scientific/idle rich category. By the way, has anyone done any real world benchmarking? As in, take a copy of the slashdot code, and see how it runs on internet2?

  8. Watcom C compiler was used for... on Sybase to Open Souce Watcom C/C++ & Fortran Compiler · · Score: 1

    The game Blood was written using Watcom C. I'm pretty sure that's not the only DOS-based game written using this compiler. It seriously kicks butt in compiler optimizations. Now, if could get Borland to open-source the editor environment, we'd have the perfect C development environment...

  9. thirty minutes???? on Microcontroller Linux · · Score: 1

    wow, what's that thing run on, floppies?

  10. cool on Debian Wins $25K Award From LinuxWorld · · Score: 1

    Although I thought Debian had "non-free" disclaimer somewhere on their package... or has a recent version gone completely "free" (as in speech)?

  11. With enough... on How Much Digital Tool Convergence Is Possible? · · Score: 3

    Well, I figure with glue and duct-tape, you can merge anything with anything... :)

  12. Well.. on Non-RIAA Record Companies? · · Score: 1

    What are you going to do if the non-RIAA companies also decides to sue Napster? Hmm? Ban music all together?

  13. What's the distinction between... on Security Through Obscurity A GOOD Thing? · · Score: 1

    What's the distinction between the different "hats"... I've heard of "White Hat Hackers", which I assume is a consultant hired to find and plug up security holes... and then there's "Grey Hat Hackers", which I guess is a script kiddie... what are the others? By the way, first post?

  14. wow on Interbase And Kylix Details From Borland/Inprise Con · · Score: 1

    That's all I can say right now... One question I have though: How much does it cost? I'm assuming the pricing is the same as previous versions of Delphi.

  15. Cool... on Human Genome Project Believed Complete · · Score: 2

    Does that mean we can get rid of the "first post" gene?

  16. Steve Wozniak's personal web site on Wozniak Inducted Into Inventors Hall Of Fame · · Score: 1

    In case you don't know it already, it's http://www.woz.org/

  17. Re:Kind of wished that... on Wozniak Inducted Into Inventors Hall Of Fame · · Score: 1

    Thanks! If I'm traveling down that way, I'll be sure to visit the place!

  18. Kind of wished that... on Wozniak Inducted Into Inventors Hall Of Fame · · Score: 1

    Kind of wished that the yahoo link would tell the inventor's hall of fame is located.

  19. Re:seineewerasrednuofocepacsten on Netscape Co-Founder Wants IE To Stay With Windows · · Score: 1
