  1. Re:Multi-Lingual Domain Names on Slashback: Aircraft, Dreams, Returns · · Score: 1

    Speaking of multilingual cybersquatting.... Check out Yahoo! Japan's auction site for domain names. You too can have kitty-chan.com (in kana/eucjp: ¥¥Æ¥£¼Áãó.com) for a mere 10 million yen!
    *sigh*

  2. Re:Leap of logic on Microsoft Says Windows More Reliable Than Sun · · Score: 1

    No. There's no way they'll get the mail servers
    running on PC hardware any time soon at hotmail.

    The I/O required just isn't going to happen with
    PC stuff.

  3. Re:Fast mirror -- Thank you! on Heroes of Might and Magic III Demo Released · · Score: 1

  4. Re:The big corporations should get used to it on NBC Upset About CBS's Digital Ethics · · Score: 1

    Way to sneak in the alladvantage pimp.

    Advertising doesn't pay for TV, web sites, or radio. It pays for the salaries of those who work at these places. This is not the same thing (try to imagine a world that isn't capitalist).

  5. Re:Charging for volume on cable modems (BC Canada) on Charging for Cable Internet Access in Australia · · Score: 1

    That's a pretty silly reason to stick with a dial-up connection. Choose one of them, if (*IF*) one or the other does charge for volume, you can always switch. It's not like you're locked into a contract or anything. That being said, I've had a cable modem in Abbotsford for two years now and am quite happy with the service (as long as I don't use their mail server :-).

  6. Re:Is it a port? OR linux emulation? on Applixware for FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's a native binary.

  7. Re:Mutt on Mutt Hits 1.0 · · Score: 1

    It's also enough to only support linux. mutt is a multi-platform program.

  8. Re:Loving my FreeBSD-3.3 RC #3 Box on The BSDs in the WSJ: "Help Build the Web" · · Score: 1

    pkg_add -r
    -r Use the remote fetching feature. This will determine the appropriate objformat and release and then fetch and install the package.
    (eg: pkg_add -r gimp)
    You forget that ports are just the front
    end to the package system. Packages are built
    nightly.

    'nuff said.

  9. Re:honest question, just curious on Wcarchive Does 1.39tb In 24 Hours · · Score: 2

    Well, I have no comment as to how well Linux could do in comparison to FreeBSD, but will this machine even be the same on Linux. ie. Can linux even access 4GB of RAM on x86 hardware? Last I heard it was about 2GB.

  10. Re:But how many run it under Linux? on 1 Million Word Perfect/Linux Downloads · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that OS' like FreeBSD can run (most) Linux binaries. In fact, my mom uses WordPerfect for Linux (full version) at home on a FreeBSD machine. It's unfortunate that there's no way to track things like that.

  11. Re:so what ARE the new features? on FreeBSD 3.2-Release is out · · Score: 1

    For a "ChangeLog", look at RELNOTES.TXT. It's in the root 3.2-RELEASE directory on every mirror. The release notes has a list of all userland and kernel changes.

  12. Re:ZDNet Questionable Reporting on IBM and Nintendo Partner on Dolphin · · Score: 1

    FWIW, I looked on my FreeBSD machine with netscape 4.6 and it showed ?Dolphin?, but if I use my Windows machine it's "Dolphin". I've seen this before, and i think you're right. It's something to do with the font.
