  1. Re:Won't somebody please think of the ATM machines on IBM Officially Kills OS/2 · · Score: 1

    Wait that is my pin..... gotta go change it now, thanks.

  2. I wonder... on Nokia Develops a New Browser on Apple WebKit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If apple was actually working with them on this, or if they just are using the recently released webkit code from apple.

  3. One More Mirror on The Lost 1984 Mac Video · · Score: 1

    I mentioned it above, but I put it on the box I run. Feel free to try and crash it.

  4. Re:Here we go... on The Lost 1984 Mac Video · · Score: 3, Informative

    Or Here
    Just trying to help

  5. Re:Really? Because all this time I thought that... on Projected 'Average' Longhorn System Is A Whopper · · Score: 1

    Um.. It launches in 2 seconds on my 1.25 GHz Powerbook with 1 gig of ram, so I think that is a bit much.

  6. Re:Northern? on First Canadian High Speed Internet over Power Grid · · Score: 0

    It is, it borders Sault Ste. Marie Michigan.

  7. Re:Why buys Macs? on PowerBook 15" and 12" Disassembly · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Actually, I own a PowerBook G3 500 and ordered a PB 15" 1.25 GHz the morning they came out (should be here this week) and I have never regreted having a PowerBook. I had a Compaq Notebook from my school district this year, for a competition I was in, and there was no comparison. My PowerBook was faster (yet it was older by a year), much lighter, much more durable, and worked more consistently. Even the most diehard PC users I know, would ask to borrow my PowerBook for a presentation, etc. So to answer your question, yes I am very happy I own a PowerBook.

  8. Re:Block outbound port 25 by default on Building a Town-Wide LAN? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I would suggest blocking inbound port 25 instead, as we still want people to be able to connect to the isp's smtp server, we just don't want jane doe to be running an open relay.

  9. Death of Farscape on Farscape Finale Tonight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    While I may not have seen very many episodes, this has always been a great show and will be missed by many geeks out there.

  10. Actually on Superbowl XXXVII · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I am configuring a few linux web servers. Ah the goodness of apt.

  11. Cartridges on Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The only real way I can see this fighting piracy is if they want to go back to cartridge based systems, but why not just make the products good enough that people will actually buy them.

  12. Nothing New Really on Apple's Present: iTunes Supports Ogg Files · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think I could already do this with the same component. It just plays them as quicktime files. The downer is that they still have to be ripped to mp3 to goto the iPod. Now the real Christmas present would be if Apple would release an OGG iPod update. That would be really cool.

  13. REPEAT on Hark! I Hear a Dropped Packet! · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Rpeeat from earlier today.
    FP by the way

  14. Re:In other news... on GameToo Much...... And Die! · · Score: 1

    Um if you are male you are technically a minority.

  15. Re:I miss the BeBox - it was great hardware on History and Perspective on BeOS · · Score: 1

    Actually if anything were likely to run on it, it would be Debian 68k. Yellow Dog, while a great distro, is PowerPC only, not 68k. To my knowledge there were some folks working on bebox support, however I am not sure what came from it.

  16. Why I like broadband on Dump Broadband, Dig Out Your Modem! · · Score: 1

    While don't get me wrong, the speed of my cable modem is great, the reason that I like broadband is the fact that there are no drivers to worry about, no ppp to configure, no thing, just plain ole ethernet, supported by every OS under the sun. I can just let it set itself up using DHCP from my linksys and all is good. The seelign point of broadband for me and probably others is its ease of setup and operation, in addition to the lack of connect time wait.

  17. Actually it is not a mockup but a real computer on A Few Baaaaaad Apples · · Score: 1

    I read on one of the mac news sites a while ago about this and it is actually an ibook in there, no mock up about it.

  18. Quicktime on Open-Source Streaming Video, Sans Plug-Ins · · Score: 3

    The quicktime server is free from apple and runs on linux and win nt. It is also open source and the encoder is 30 bucks as quicktime pro. That still doesn't get you linux play back yet, but I bet it is in the works. only real is the truely expensive option.

  19. Bess is evil on Kid Clicks For Sale · · Score: 1

    I would just like to say that i am in a school district that uses BESS, and yes I know how to disable bess as it doesn't take an idiot to disable it, however no I would not do it because I had one run in with my school district and I don't want another. I am completely in favor of creating an open source bess equivilant and I bet we could get school districts to use it. Does anyone know of a way to use a cgi script to make it so it looks like a website like yahoo mail is coming through another site, so as to make bess shut up. I tried the anoymous surfing sites and guess what bess blocks them.

  20. Re:Happy New Year on Slashdot Readers Write The History Of The Future · · Score: 1

    I hope that every one here has a happy new year and millenium and that Apple may actually ship OSX and that 2.4 may ship and that these two may stand together and pull the world out of windows
