  1. Re:Long-reach ethernet on Last-Mile Solution For A Rural Land Co-op? · · Score: 2, Informative

    It shouldn't be much of a problem to use an ethernet connection over phone wire--if I remember correctly, only four of the eight wires in an ethernet cable are used.

  2. Re:Nightlies more stable on Mozilla 1.4b Loosed · · Score: 1

    I haven't noticed a difference between nightlies and milestones in terms of stability, and I'd definitely be using nightlies if getmoz was ever updated. It's too much of a pain to install a new version of Mozilla every day in Linux.

  3. Re:I used to follow mozilla on Mozilla 1.4b Loosed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The biggest feature I've found it "Type Ahead Find". I start typing the text of a link when on a webpage, and it takes me to that link. It's still a little buggy, but not too bad.

    Also, I find the new features that keep coming in MultiZilla to be worth much better than those introduced by Mozilla.

  4. Re:Pay for downloading iso??? on Libranet 2.8 Review · · Score: 1

    Well, Red Hat was going to put the isos up in a week. The fact that I had them three days earlier doesn't make me feel bad. I'll try to find somewhere to download Libranet, and if I like it, I'll pay for a copy.

    If you can think of a way for them to GPL Click-'n-Run and still get $99 a year from people who use it, then please SUGGEST that.
    Easy--when you pay for Click-N-Run, you get a username and password. You use said username and password when starting up Click-N-Run. Limit each account to accessing Click-N-Run to one computer for a period of a month or so.

  8. Re:yep...stupid. on If I Had My Own Distro... · · Score: 1

    I definitely find KDE a helluva lot better than the Windows GUI. I've used Gnome a little, just to decide which DE I wanted to stick with, and Gnome was also much better than Windows. I just can't live with only one desktop anymore.

  9. John Carmack on Another Private Space Startup · · Score: 1, Interesting

    In a semi-related note, John Carmack (yes, that John Carmack) is competing to win the X-Prize, which gives $10 million to the first small team to put a man 62.5 miles above the surface of the earth. See http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/space/10/16/xprize.co ntest/

    I'm in Columbus too, and also at OSU. Is there a "Half-Priced Books" near campus?

  12. Re:You know... on Crossover Office 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Open Office does not do all the things Microsoft Office XP does. However, Open Office fits in a 10th of the space and has every feature I'll ever need.

    And their anti-piracy measures don't work. I'm downloading FP and Publisher XP now, and I've cracked Office XP Trial!
    Are you proud of yourself for pirating software? Personally, I don't pirate software--there's generally a better (or at least acceptable) open source alternative. That said, I hope Microsoft keeps with the "product activation" and makes it harder and harder to crack their software, so that people like you will be forced to actually pay for MS Office, or go with a free alternative.
  14. Re:But quickly fixed... on Weekly Microsoft Critical Security Issue · · Score: 0

    Also, you could use the exact same article title and say "sendmail" instead of "microsoft", and have it be fairly accurate.

    The Seventh Amendment certainly does:

    I'm not from one of the affected colleges, but the internal filesharing network at my college has been temporarily shut down.

    This person ran the network on which that many songs were shared. That is, shared BY OTHER PEOPLE. Fuck the RIAA.

    RTFA. It says all "Personal Computer software" must meet the Microsoft standard. officedepot.com doesn't list any Linux software either.
