  1. hell yes... on Helping Your Ex-Employer? · · Score: 1

    I used to work for a small web dev firm making around $25/hr doing sys admin. Now I'm freelancing/consulting to them for $125/hr.

    Don't ever turn down money.

  2. trend micro! on Server Side Virus Scanning Options? · · Score: 1

    I used to work in the IT Dept at Rankin County (MS). I implemented a mail solution with Linux. One box acted as a mail proxy running TrendMicro VirusWall. The other box that was used for storage ran Sendmail w/ Razor and SpamAssassin. It worked great!

  3. Re:slashdotted already?! on Public Domain Superheroes? · · Score: 1

    Google caches websites. Why would there be copyright issues if Slashdot cached the websites it has articles about? As long as they print somewhere on the screen somthing like "CACHED CONTENT, ETC, SOME OTHER LEGALESE, BLAH, BLAH" there should be a problem, right?

    What a good idea!

  4. grip on TheKompany: tkcOggRipper: Easy-to-use Ogg Vorbis C · · Score: 1

    dude grip is the coolest http://www.nostatic.org/grip/

  5. icradius on Radius w/ MySQL? · · Score: 1

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/icradius/?topic_id=4 3
    It's cross platform (I've run it on both Solaris and Linux). It's really fast too.

  6. NFS? on Using Networked Home Directories with Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    you could use NFS...

  7. nt login script on Distributing Custom Modifications to 4000 Windows Boxen? · · Score: 1

    you could put regedit.exe /s name-of-key-map-file.reg in your nt login script.

  8. Re:dont block entire domain on Blocking Instant Messengers? · · Score: 1

    it can be proxy'ed tho. as can AOL IM. they're hard to get around.

  9. md5 or crypt? on Eight-Character Password Limit in Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's not using md5, but just crypt. i remember old versions of BSD and linux (as recently as 3-4 years ago, before MD5 passwords where introduced) using this form of password storage.

  10. m1xx series on Palm m100s - A Pattern of Defects? · · Score: 1

    all of the m1xx series suck. they feel cheap. that's why i got a m505 (the m515 wasn't available when i got my m505, alas i wish i had waited 5 months).

  11. Good idea... on MySQL FS · · Score: 1

    I like! I like! Theoretically, you could get faster data access since it would write like a raw device like oracle or MSSql

  12. Awesome on An Open Letter From Bob Young · · Score: 1

    I loved it.

  13. IBM should shut down novell. on IBM Takeover Of Novell? · · Score: 1

    I don't why they don't offer Linux on their mid- and low-end servers... Novell's a bigger piece of garbage than anything that micro$oft makes.

  14. handspring on Replacing A Palm's ROM With An EEPROM? · · Score: 1

    have you considered buying a handspring?

  15. Beowulf Cluster or Enterprise-sized database on Ideas for High School Computer Projects? · · Score: 1

    A good project would be to collect junk/unwanted and build a small beowulf cluster. Or build some large enterprise-size web/database application with clustering. have a cluster of web servers (2 or 3) and have it talk to a separate database server. Have the students do all their programming in perl or php.
