  1. kind of sucks for the OpenBSD project, kind of not on DARPA Grant Cancelled for OpenBSD and U-Penn? · · Score: 1

    it kind of sucks because the funding was really badly needed

    it kind of doesn't suck though because who wants DoD's blood-soaked money anyway unless it's going to be funneled into something righteous

    Not that OpenBSD isn't righteous but DoD uses it indirectly in the business of killing people so it doesn't count

    OpenBSD is amoral, not necessarily righteous or evil

  2. That's not what the article says at all! on Australia Taps More Phones Than Entire U.S. · · Score: 1

    If you read it carefully, it says Australia filed more wiretap warrants than the US as officially reported by the two governments. That doesn't necessarily have any relationship to the actual number of wiretaps, legal, quasi-legal or outright illegal. We did learn all about Echelon on Slashdot right? HELLO

  3. who funded it on PGP Acquired From NAI · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    what are the chances that it's the CIA's venture fund and they're going to monkey with the code

  4. Re:Token Ring? Hahaha! You sorry bastard!! on Linux Token Ring Support Bringing Down Corporate Nets? · · Score: 1

    what are you talking about, VAXen RULE! Especially when running OpenBSD

  5. Re:Drunken Europe on Linux 2.4.3 Released · · Score: 1

    beer before liquor, you've never been sicker.
    liquor before beer, you're in the clear.

  6. HOST IT IN THE REPUBLIC OF GANJASTAN on Why Offshore Napster Won't Work · · Score: 1
  7. Re: The first step to making this useful on Run LinuxPPC In A Spare Drive Bay · · Score: 1

    Would be to wipe the stinky Linux and install OpenBSD PowerPC

  8. Re:It's really going to be a matter of... on How Does BIND Perform on PPC? · · Score: 2

    not really, even a huge BIND name server would rarely fully use 64MB of RAM.. Paul Vixie did for many years and may still run g.root-servers.net on a 486 with 64MB

  9. Re:sp? on How Does BIND Perform on PPC? · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Working download link on Ladies And Gentlemen, Linux 2.4 · · Score: 2

    I just pulled down the kernel from that link at 150Kbps... slashdot effect is hype.. only works on sites on 64kbps ISDN links..

  11. Yes you can do that with OpenBSD on Bridge Ethernets Over T1? · · Score: 1

    you just use PCI T1 interface cards, and regular
    ethernet cards.. As a plus, you use IPsec to encrypt the traffic. You run the OpenBSD bridging to bridge together the two networks.

  12. Oh that would really piss of Lars wouldn't it? on Can One Electron Hold Infinite Data? · · Score: 1

    I bet then the technology would be outlawed under the DMCA

  13. Re:Those Limey Bastards! on Sun Finds & Exploits Hole in the GPL *Update* · · Score: 1

    how do you figure that Sun are limeys?

    As far as Sun finding and exploiting a hole in the
    GPL, fair is fair, right? I mean how many of Sun's holes have been mercilessly exploited by
    users of GNU/Linux ?

    And how much market share have they lost to GNU
    software?

  14. Re:Dont do linux on Making Your Linux Box Secure · · Score: 1

    The best way- install linux install vmware run OpenBSD under VMware don't do anything from the linux box directly

  15. Arin doesn't hand anything out on ARIN: No More IP's For IP-Based Virtual Hosts · · Score: 1

    I must object to the characterization that ARIN 'hands out' IP addresses. They don't. At least in my case they made people from my company work for months to justify our initial allocation of a /19. And then they fully gouged us for several thousand dollars to get the IP's, and are going to keep gouging us every year.

    No way they just 'hand them out', it's as if they don't want you to have them, so they can save them all for Worldcom or something.

  16. wow I'd be psyched to have those genesis albums on Rosetta Disk For 10K-Year History · · Score: 1

    it would be neat to have those genesis albums in all those languages. peter gabriel rules.

  17. Good! Should have been done years ago on Colleges Urged To Ban Telnet And FTP · · Score: 1

    I have been trying to do that for years.. people keep calling me BOFH

  18. Hitachi says they aren't selling theirs in the US on Crusoe vs. Dell And Compaq · · Score: 1

    Admittedly their model looks really really sweet, but if I can't get it, then who cares :(

    It says something about not selling their notebooks in the US market on their site.

    http://w ww.hitachi.com/products/information/computing/note books/index.html

    Are they available from some place that imports foreign laptops?

  19. Re:Old News! on 16 Cell Phones In Parallel Net Access · · Score: 1

    Yes I remember this story. Isn't there something newsworthy to post today?

  20. CIX Router, InterNIC, ARIN, ICANN on Afternic Sues ICANN, Claims Unfair Treatment · · Score: 1

    I've been working exclusively on the internet since 1994 and one after another, there have been attempts by some cabal of evil greed-heads to get a free pass to gouge all the internet users-

    from the CIX (commercial internet exchange) router controversy in 1994-5(?), to InterNIC to ARIN to ICANN, they are all the same..

    I agree with the european domain registrars:
    http://slashdot.org/yro/00/06/07/135 0254.shtml

    ICANN is a leach on the internet, in bed with the 'big boys' preventing real competition. This story is just another very visible example of their blatent preference for the status quo.

  21. Re:destination: embeded web servers on DIY Tiny Webserver · · Score: 1

    they should build in some X10 circuitry and then attach them to every appliance made. automatic cat litter boxes, toasters, everything.
