  1. Re:Fedora 9 Not Ready on Fedora 9 Preview Cleared for Launch · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you read the bug report, and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439858#c22 It says they won't be shipping swfdec if FC 9.

  2. Try pxes on Converting Desktops to Thin Clients? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Try PXES. I used it at a high school to netboot old desktops ( I think I used etherboot, with all nics embedded, so it didn't matter what nic was in the desktop), to download pxes, which would then connect to the X11 box to run all the applications. It features RDP, X11, NX, and others perhaps.Download here.

    And how much you want to bet that the server was hacked, and the real owner of the server is going to have to foot the bill?

    And how much you want to bet that the server was already hacked, and the real owner of the server is going to have to foot the bill?

  5. Re:trying them for inventory on Review of the new Dell Axim X50s · · Score: 1

    We are going to purchase compact flash barcode scanner...
    So why do they need the SD slot of the X50?
    I'll admit that there are also SD barcode readers, but then they could buy X30s and still save money over the new X50.

    and the google search makes said image pop up first So I guess you will stop using google too. This was done with "Moderate SafeSearch is on"

    Usually it's that heavy stuff that can withstand the direct impact of a pigeon (no sparrow jokes, please.)

    Good firewall against IP by carrier pigeon.

  14. Re:Fixing vulnerabilities is GOOD! on Is Finding Security Holes a Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    So yeah, do you mean the default should be to auto install patches, and the admin can change the default? Or actually what I think might be better is to be able to back out a patch. As an example, there was a Microsoft security patch, that if installed would break a piece of software that is critical to our work. Eventaully the software got a new dll that could be installed to make it not break on the patch, but its situaltions like these where I'm glad I have the systems set to auto download the patches, but not install them.

  15. Re:Well DUH... on Overcoming MAPS Reverse-Lookup Oppression? · · Score: 1

    Or perhaps they are saying they should relay through the isp's smtp server. This is the best solution for this question, and thankfully is what appears to be a fp, and rated high.

  16. Re:iTunes 4.5 is a screen hog on Apple Releases Major iTunes Update · · Score: 4, Informative

    You could just have the music stored on a network share on the machine, then drag the files into iTunes, and if you don't have it manage the library, they will stay on the network drive.

  18. Radius on Wireless Hotspots in a Large Environment? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    With my work, I have hostapd set up with a radius server for authentication. I specifically use x.509 certs, but you could probably use leap, or some other 802.1x.

  19. Re:What's the point of hot plug ram/cpu on What Will Be in Linux 2.7? · · Score: 1

    Just out of curiosity, which patches to the kernel have you been doing every week?

  20. Re:Broken? on Homemade Star Wars Flick/Fanimatrix Movie · · Score: 1

    You need to tell bittorrent the name/path of the torrent you want to download, not the file that it has already started.

  21. Re:No Fair on Geek Eye for the Average Guy · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you want, you could use the jigdo images, and either have a bunch of cds burned, or a dvd. Of stable, testing, or unstable. I just used this because at work we only have a T1, but at my school we have a much faster connection, so I burned the first unstable cd. While almost a week old, it still had quite a few of the packages up-to-date, and an install straight to unstable was not that difficult or time consuming.

    Would you be willing to help pay for the cluster to do the processing for the linux kernel mailing list?

    Mod parent up. Makes mention of mod_gzip. Which does EXACTLY what the root post wants for http.

  24. Re:Built in white-listing? on Replacing SMTP? · · Score: 1

    There are tons of systems that support white listing of e-mails. The one my dad came up with uses procmail and does white listing along with black listing with regular expressions for any header. It is called spamgard

  25. Re:A new bad guy? on Linksys and the GPL, Again · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And as I've been stating, I think Linksys is uses unmodified source code. Zebra uses the configure script to decide where files get stored. So all that is needed is --sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data in DIR [PREFIX/etc] to place the files elsewhere, while not modifying the sourcecode.
