    That's a good episode. I was hoping someone on here would bring that up cause I couldn't remember exactly where I had seen that.

    Porn? I mean, isn't that what this whole crazy internet thing is for?

  4. Re:force 10 on Can Anyone Suggest a Good Switch? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, these guys are awesome. We just got one of their switches for our cluster. All ports are line speed, no over subscription. They are also soon to announce some higher density line cards for their existing chassis in the upcoming months. Definitely give them a look.

    No, probably more like "3...2...1...Kontact!"

    Penn State is actually just down the road from the State Penn...

  9. Re:they should have said PC CPUs on Tom's Hardware End of Year CPU Roundup · · Score: 1

    Here is a link to a non-Apple PPC 970 system.

  10. Hint... on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Personally, I got toothpaste, tic-tacs, deodorant, and a McDonalds coupon book in the same package.

    Think they are trying to tell you something?

  11. Re:Best Geek Pens on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen? · · Score: 1

    Didn't you drop this in a 400 degree oven and get it fixed under it's lifetime warranty? Only thing that was damaged was the plastic ink refil?

  12. Re:Linus too Harsh on Linus Has Harsh Words For Itanium · · Score: 1

    But, isn't one of those situations he mentions in the interview (namely, running a large database server) what this chip is designed to be doing?

    He was comparing it to a P4 though, not any 64 bit chips.

  14. Re:Where do you draw the line? on Justifying the Common Criteria Security Evaluation · · Score: 1

    A packet filter should be considered part of the OS. In Linux it's part of the kernel, I'm not sure if it's userland or not in BSD, but regardless, a packet filter is much more a core OS component than a browser...

    They can even steal BSD's if they wish!

  16. Health nuts on Low-Tech Cell Phone Blocking · · Score: 1

    How about the health nuts who don't like all these radio waves in the air causing them cancer? they could line their houses with it. maybe make a domed city or something. isn't there a city in the desert in california with the same goal?

  17. Re:On your servers so soon? on Linux Kernel 2.4.10 · · Score: 1

    That's why you don't overwrite your kernel and the module directory tree changes, and you add an additional entry in lilo. So if something is fucked you go reboot and use the old setup. This is something you can do when you patch your system manually and not let windowsupdate do it for you. Big brother knows best eh??

  18. Internet2 on Smart Routers · · Score: 1

    This is very much like the concept of Internet2 that a whole slew of universities, and i believe some non-profit organizations take part in. They have their own private backbone, "abeline", and they have a priority scheme implemented. And what if someone breaks the rules? If they get caught they are kicked off. Which is a great detterant since this network is much more efficient than the standard internet, and cheaper.

  19. Kernel Compilation for Performance on Kernel Benchmarks · · Score: 2

    I've read that the Kernel Team has recomended use of egcs 1.1.2 as an alternative to gcc 2.95.2 for compiling the 2.4.0 kernel. How much affect does that have on the performance of an OS?

    Is it worth the trouble?

  20. SLACKWARE!!! on Is Linux Losing Its SPARC? · · Score: 1

    Slackware has a port to SPARC. I've never used it, but I've heard good things about it. I intend to see it in action soon, as a co-worker with a SPARC plans on putting it on his new machine, an Ultra 10. He is a slack fanatic.

  21. Re:A bit like MS? on The 2.4.x Kernel, ECN And Problem Websites · · Score: 1

    So my O/S gets to influence what sites my browser can and can't see?

    No. Actually some router out there decided that. Since you set bit's it's not even supposed to be concerned with. It should ignore the reserved bits, or at least throw an error. It should not silently drop packets...the OS in this case is merely doing the right thing. So it's the routers fault you can't see a web page.

    It is also made very clear in the kernel config that you don't have to do this, and isn't set by default. So you'd have to go out of your way to make it happen.

  22. Re:FreeBSD? on Slashdot Moving To FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    How about Windows XP Beta 2, cause of that damned cool nickelodeon interface!

  23. Slashdotting... on AOL vs. Open Source AIM Clones · · Score: 1

    How about we just do an old fashioned slashdotting of aol.com? Sure, they probably have a farm of servers, and can handle this load. Sure they'll probably get paid for every hit by their ads. but it'll be great for getting our frustrations out! Come on everyone, click here!!!!

  24. Re:Why PPPoE? on A Study on Regional DSL and Cable Speeds? · · Score: 1

    Are you able to SSH or telnet into your network from the outside? The problem I have run into is that the DSL modem itself gets the ip, and it has no services running. If I had a DSL modem that would pass stuff right through, and i had the actual IP. That'd be great. I'm not to familiar with the DSL modem options, does something like this exist for a reasonable price?

  25. Re:Why PPPoE? on A Study on Regional DSL and Cable Speeds? · · Score: 1

    Can you please explain how it conserves ip's? this is a serious question, not a flame.
