  1. Re:This is great but... on Introducing 802.11s - Wireless Mesh Networking · · Score: 2, Informative

    You could also combine the two. Create a short range wireless LAN using mesh technology. And connect those short range WLAN's using WiMAX.

  2. Re:"Run WindowsUpdate first thing Monday morning" on 13 New Windows Security Vunerabilities · · Score: 1

    I'm curious... when you do the patching by hand, applying them one after another, you have to run qchain.exe and then reboot. Does Windows Update do that automatically or will you actually have to reboot between patches?

  3. Re:I mod this story... on Paint.NET: The Anti-GIMP? · · Score: 1

    Nope, but right after you've installed both, they both won't be there since they cancel one another out.

  4. Re:I can't be the only one.... on ASUS Barebones: Multimedia Even Sans Hard Drive · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Ok, I agree with you that it is just as ugly as your ordinary beige box, BUT... it's not a beige box. ASUS tried their best to make a good looking non-beige box... and failed. This thing IMHO is just as ugly as a beige box. I wouldn't want one of these in the living room either.

    In Soviet Russia, Apache on Windows is running YOU!

  6. Re:Manufacturers may not dump CDs. on First 3 Generation-Compatible HD DVD Drive · · Score: 1

    But the record player and the cd player don't use similar techniques whereas the DVD/CD/HDDVD do use similar techniques and media (i.e. a CD fits in a DVD drive and vice versa)

  7. Re:Space McDonalds? on Space Station Crew Forced to Cut Calories · · Score: 1

    You mean the Restaurant at the End of the Universe I presume.

  8. Re:Extensions on Mozilla Releases Firefox 1.0 RC1 · · Score: 1

    You're probably right when you're saying that most end-users are not like you (and me) i.e. geek. That also means that most end-users probably won't be installing any extensions whatsoever. Voila 'problem' fixed.

    Also, I think the FF userbase is still mostly geeks (and their wiv^H^H^Hgirlf^H^H^H^H^Hfriends and relatives). That's already changing for the better and will hopefully get a huge boost with the ad in the NYT. Still, people who are now happy with IE, probably won't start using extensions when they switch to FF.

  9. Re:Why? on OpenBSD Project Releases OpenNTPd · · Score: 2, Informative
    We're talking about OpenBSD here right?

    Just put /pub/OpenBSD/3.5/{your_arch}/* from a OpenBSD mirror on a CD, make a boot floppy and you're good to go.

    Moreover, the average user doesn't want...

    Who's the ignorant elitist here?

    ...and/or have the ability to do such tasks, and shouldn't be expected to.

    If by this you mean lacking the knowledge, then maybe OpenBSD just isn't for you...

    Then what does it mean in dutch? ;)

  11. Uh, this would happen... on Baan IVc/V - The First Open-Source ERP? · · Score: 1

    I think SAP would be in BIG trouble...or wouldn't they?
