  1. Maybe a bitkeeper in emacs on Interview With BitKeeper Author Larry McVoy · · Score: 1

    Emacs can do everything so why not CVS.

    RMS is a good programmer so if he doesn't like bitkeeper maybe he should write something better.

  11. Rik a prime devoloper Linus don't think so on Rik van Riel on Kernels, VMs, and Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    I saw a post on the linux kernel news groups (you can serch for it) about 2-3 weeks ago where Linus says something like "that's why I don't consider you a kernel developer" he always seems to be wining about something. But hey what do I know I'm still trying to get xscreensver to do a mozilla -remote openurl (some url) for a kiosk :)

  13. A bit late on Red Hat 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    on the redhat mailing list there seems to be a problem with printers

    But I will down load my ISO now and fix that up with the needed
    kernel and samba up dates

  14. POP IMAP something better needed on MSN Forces Outlook POP · · Score: 1

    For remote mail POP is stuffed IMAP is a little better but still I think there could be something even better IMAPvx ?
    Many times I have received mail at work with big attachments and then have got home to read another mail that would like me to forward that mail
    I use IMAP but if I forward that mail it is sucked down my slow link and then resent down my slow link

    I think that we need protocol that can send mail from the server IMAPvx
    Lotus notes and express can do this but it would be much better to have an open standard to do it

  15. Re:uh, isn't pop3 open? on MSN Forces Outlook POP · · Score: 1

    IMAP is a much better protocol
    but still has limits as has POP in that when you are on the end of a slow connecton and forward mail it is sucked down the line and then sent back down the line

    what we need is IMAP ver 5 where if you mark a file to be forwarded it is forwarded from the server

    then it would be good

  16. IBM on Congress Plans DMCA Sequel: The SSSCA · · Score: 1

    IBM said that they were going to spend $1 billion dollars to support linux and OSS, well I think that they should put some of that cash to protect against such stupid laws. I'm sure that even a govenment as uninformed as the US will listen when IBM puts its case.

    sorry about the spelling I'm australian and its very late.. nother VB please :)

  17. microsoft might replace TCP anyway on Windows XP To Block Use Of "Troublesome" Drivers · · Score: 0, Redundant

  18. sheer stupidity on CAIDA Released Code-Red Worm Post Mortem · · Score: 1

    It was the sheer stupidity of the worm's creator and the skill of some network admins which limited the worms attack and DoS potential.

    There was a couple of versions of it and another will surly arise.

  23. Re:Questions and Observations about 2.4.4 on Linux Kernel 2.4.4 Released · · Score: 1

    ACL's are in XFS . its super simple to build a new system with redhat 7.1 and XFS

    just look here you can get a bootable ISO that will insstall the XFS kernal and then ask you for your redhat-7.1 cd's to install the rest, as I said this if for a new system. but go for it
