  3. Re:review? where? on Lycoris Desktop/LX Review · · Score: 1

    Maybe he has no idea what he's talking about or maybe this distribution really sucks. But for a consumer friendly distribution, it sure as hell is confusing :)

    Not true, the only reason why RedHat is making more money than the others is because for many people, RedHat = Linux

  6. Re:Certs and job postings on IT Certifications Summary · · Score: 1

    Yes there is but not that many, however the salaries for ccna/ccnp/ccie's are pretty high.

  7. Re:Why bother for private sites? on Sites Wary of Adopting P3P · · Score: 1

    well your site runs fine and even if it doesn't have a compliant privacy policy it'll still run fine.

    If however you use cookies on your website, then IE will put a little (not even visible) warning about the fact that you don't have a privacy policy.

  8. Re:Check out the survey on Darwin Streaming Server Beats Real, Windows Media · · Score: 1

    that this Network Computing's article got it all wrong. It doesn't take a genius to notice that Real has the worst video quality.

  10. how is this new? on Google Juice · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This trick was well known among SE users for at least 6 months now. Many people took advantage of it, especiall adult websites.

  11. Re:This is pathetic! on Mandrake Asks for Support · · Score: 2

    IBM sells Linux servers, it fits perfectly within its business plan. Of course they're gonna invest in it.

  12. Re:Timediff between exploit and patch on Air Force Warns Microsoft/Others to Tighten Security · · Score: 2

    "we don't tell you 'till we got a patch"

    But isn't that exactly what they did with wu-ftpd?

    "Do you trust these guys? Really?"

    I've been Virus free since 1995, so yeah I trust them.

  13. After 9/11 on Air Force Warns Microsoft/Others to Tighten Security · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Seems to me that after 9/11, the government is blaming plenty of people for the incident yet it should be blaming itself.

  14. Re:Responsibility on Air Force Warns Microsoft/Others to Tighten Security · · Score: 2

    Look, if I, a Junior sysadmin was able to protect my company from the ILOVU virus (we use Exchange and Outlook btw); I have to wonder how the government fails to protect itself. Maybe the sysadmins in there are ignorant or maybe they just don't have much time on there hands.

  15. Re:Being a Communications/Computer officer in the on Air Force Warns Microsoft/Others to Tighten Security · · Score: 1, Troll

    Okay, so you're a Mac OS 8 and a Solaris user yet you come here and tell us that you're somehow qualified to administer NT servers? And you also expect us to believe that your judgment is not biased?

    Btw, how many holes does sendmail have? Have you forgotten about zlib, how about wu-ftpd?

  16. Re:This is pathetic! on Mandrake Asks for Support · · Score: 2

    Of course, it helps them sell servers and stuff. I'm not talking about IBM, I'm talking about all those hollywood studios, all those .COM's like amazon.com and google.com

  17. Re:This is pathetic! on Mandrake Asks for Support · · Score: 2

    Tell that to all the big corporations who profit and save money thanks to Linux without paying a dime.

  18. Sure, let the people help Linux on Mandrake Asks for Support · · Score: 2

    Why should we, the people, who have just enough money to live an acceptable life, donate money for Linux, while Hollywood studios, big .COM's and huge corporations use Linux for free and save money?

    Does anyone have the numbers on how much Amazon.com, Google.com, etc. and hollywood studios give to Linux?

  19. Re:Oh the IRONY! on Bug in zlib Affects Many Linux Programs · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    No, the previous story claimed that "Everyone seems to know... UNIX is safer than Windows". But then again, Linux is more popular than UNIX, so more bugs get discovered

  20. Re:LoudCloud can't compete either on Andreesen "Grows Up" · · Score: 2

    Then how come LoudCloud is laying off 120 employees? Don't tell me that once again he fell victim to MS even though he's not competing with them.

  21. LoudCloud can't compete either on Andreesen "Grows Up" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He blamed MS for netscape's failure. Now who exactly will he blame for LoudCloud's failure? Perhaps one day he'll realise that he should blame himself.

    Clinton, come backkkk please

  23. I remember on Review: The Time Machine · · Score: 2

    I remember watching a movie when I was a kid about a time machine. The machine looked exactly like the one in this movie and travelling through time looked pretty much the same to. It also had those futuristic monsters. I forgot the name of the movie, does anyone know it? At the time, I was pretty impressed by it. Was this another remake of "The Time Machine" book?

  24. Re:Don't forget IE does the same on Netscape 6 is Spyware? · · Score: 2

    Yes, let's say you typed slashidot.org, this will return an error and automatically search through search.msn.com to find what you're looking for. You can even change the thing to tell it to search using google. What's your point?

    Looks like most us are into that pain-pleasure thing. Coïncidence?
