    Rest assured AC, I'm not sharing my / directory.

  2. Re:User friendliness on Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik Responds · · Score: 1

    I keep my photos on a Samba server.. referenced from my Linux box, the location is: /shared/picures/ and from my significant other's Windows box the location is: G:\shared\pictures

    Even have a shell script to copy pictures from the camera into a dated subdirectory under pictures/ which is a lot easier than dragging them in a file manager. :)

    Plugs Fuji digital camera into USB port of MDK 9.1 box. Watches camera icon appear on KDE desktop. Clicks icon and watches Konqueror open the directory and display thumbnail image previews.

    What's that you're saying about user-friendliness?

    Or the bastard websites which try to fuck with the status bar. The status bar already *has* a purpose and your scrolly little message is most likely irrelevant anyhow. Thank the gods for Mozilla, and it's granular Javascript settings.

    Ah, that old canard. Frankly, that theory is disproven by the relative number of IIS exploits vs the ones for Apache, despite Apache's overwhelming market share.

    When there's a necessary piece of documentation that needs to be finished, Bill doesn't hope for volunteers.

    That's a laugh. MSDN's code examples are a joke, and half the documentation in Visual Studio seems to be inexplicably missing. Gimme good old man pages and --help anyday.

    Nah, let's just fire a giant ball of garbage at the Hubble and knock it into the sun..

    However, accepted practice in the US is to say it as sue-ZEE

    I don't think so. Calling it "Susie" simply displays one's ignorance of the correct pronunciation, much like those people who go around saying "Line-ucks". For what it's worth, I used to say "Susie" myself, until I happened to call SuSE tech support and heard the correct pronunciation.

    Yeah, devfs can be a real PITA. However devsd should make devices available under thier traditional names. I'm currently running MDK 9.1 (which uses devfsd) and my USB drive was automatically detected and mounted.

    Oh, that's good to know. BTW my personal best uptime was on a SuSE 8.0 box which was up for 90+ days.. I shut it down for a trip and it never booted again. :/

  17. Re:Slack is fast and clean on Mandrake 9.2 ISOs Available · · Score: 1

    I like the concept of Slackware, and would like to try it sometime. However, you say:

    Plus you only do installation once to twice a year

    Is there something peculiar to Slackware that requires this, or are you simply a proponent of frequent OS upgrades? :) One of the reasons I went to Linux was for the benefit of an OS that didn't self destruct and require an annual reinstallation.

  18. Re:Good Bye Redhat! on Mandrake 9.2 ISOs Available · · Score: 1

    Does your USB flash drive use the mass storage driver? Should be a shoe-in if it does. Besides, Linux is Linux. There's really nothing special about the Red Hat distro that's not available to the others.

  21. Re:So.... on The Matrix Going Massively Multiplayer · · Score: 2, Funny

    What really bakes my noodle is how they implemented "hacking" in _Enter the Matrix_, where the player has to work with a dummy MS-DOS shell.. I suppose Bash, Csh, Ksh or whatever would just be too difficult for their target audience. Still, it blows moldy goat droppings.. much like the game itself.

  22. Re:MiniDisc player as alternative on 5 Reasons Not to Buy an iPod · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you could enlighten me in that case, since I was under the impression that the only way to get recordings off a MiniDisc player was through the line out (which is unreasonable in my book).

    Yeah, but without a reasonable way to get the recoding off the minidisc, what's the point?
