  1. Re:OOh on Windows 7 Clean Install Only In Europe · · Score: 1

    For the average user, this won't matter; they buy a new box and get W7 preinstalled.

    It's only the few people thay buy a legitimate, boxed version *and* intend to do an in-place upgrade.

    Hmm.. I wonder what this will do for the installed base; will many not upgrade or rather buy a new PC? What will this mean for hardware sales in Europe, esp since Vista was more demanding and memory is dirt cheap (compared to Vista RTM)..

  2. US-only.. on Google Voice Apps Arrive For Android and Blackberry · · Score: 1

    I got my invite last week, but since GV is not "available" outside the US, I'm not even allowed to register..
    It's (again) a US-only thing..

  3. Re:Monitor the results of your blacklists! on How To Fight Spam Using Your Postfix Configuration · · Score: 1
    Add check_client_access pcre:/etc/postfix/client-checks.pcre to your main.cf (smtpd_client_restrictions), with the RBL's in between and you are able to both white- and blacklist specific IP-adresses and -ranges.

    /etc/postfix/client-checks.pcre:

  4. Variety on Dodging the Negative Reaction To GE Crops · · Score: 1

    It's all about variety. I for one wouldn't like the world to become an average-tasting bulb of engineered soja. Or not even a great-tasting one. Although TFA is not about DNA-modified veggies, but about better, DNA-supported selection, it still decreases variety, because variety (and random genetic drift) decreases predictability and thus quality and profit.

    I would think the world would be at a loss if only my good qualities would be cloned or selected, doing away with the balance nature shows again and again, over and over and over and over...

  5. Hardware encryption on Open Source Removable Media Encryption? · · Score: 1

    Use hardware encryption on the removable media. You're talking probably USB-sticks anyhow, so use one with fingerprints or (multi-platform) pin codes.

    Or did you mean: Cheap enterprise solution? ;-)

  6. Re:Not a bad article. on What is UNIX, Anyway? · · Score: 5, Informative

    For the history of Unix (timeline), read this one:

    About shfs
    Shfs is a simple and easy to use <B>Linux kernel module</B> which allows you to mount remote filesystems using a plain shell (ssh) connection.
    It's Linux..
  8. Re:It's come to the edge of the cliff... on SCO Drops Linux, Says Current Vendors May Be Liable · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well.. FreeBSD (or any *BSD for that mather) already was a feasible alternative...

  9. Neat..... on Self-Healing Composites · · Score: 1

    That would have been nice when my SO dropped her phone last week...

    Or the time I had a close encounter with the road on my motorcycle...

    Not to mention the broken removable HD-casings..

  10. Already done... on Speeding To Become Impossible In UK? · · Score: 1

    The idea is not new. Over here in The Netherlands there's a pilot in the city of Tilburg with such a project (named ISA = +/- intelligent speed adaption). Basically the same: dGPS, GSM and speed-limited areas.

    However, the system has the possibility (for now, I think ;) to hit the red button to switch the thing off, letting the driver step on it.

    The test should be finished by now, but I've not heard of any results.

    BTW: the engineers who have developed this one work for my biggest client, so you won't hear me...
