  1. Watch out Bill on New Remote Root in Mac OS X · · Score: 3, Funny

    Apple are about to catch up on Microsoft!

  2. RSYNC on Tridgell and Samba Recognized · · Score: 5, Informative

    And the reason we should _LOVE_ Andrew is not only samba (I mean, this is just a thing needed to be interopable with *that* OS), but a totally different thing.

    RSYNC

    Those having read his papers about the rsync protocol or attending one of Andrews seminars in the subject will definitively agree.

    I hope a lot of you use rsync. It's a wonderful piece of software.

  3. Re:Windows port? on MPlayer 0.90 released; MPlayer Maintainer Leaves · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you need a really good mediaplayer on windows, mac or other platforms, please check out VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ which is a VERY good alternative to both XINE and MPlayer. It plays video directly out of bin/cue-files and does all sorts of good stuff.

    Free of course. Sister project is free videostreaming!

  4. SIP? on Linux Based IP Videophone · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The big question is why it doesn't support the VoIP standard rendevouz mechanism, namely SIP, defined by RFC3261 and supported by many ip-phones software and hardware out there.
    H323 is dead. Should be, anyway.

  5. Alternative: NSD on Bind 4 and 8 Vulnerabilities · · Score: 2


    NSD is a good alternative,
    an authoratative only, high performance, simple and open source name server.

  6. CDTCPA next? on BMG Stops Producing CDs · · Score: 2

    Just wait until they announce that you MUST use a TCPA-computer to even decode their CD:s.

  7. Re:PGPHone on PGP 8.0 Beta Released · · Score: 2

    I expect PGPhone will be replaced if not already by standard IP-telephony over either ipsec or tunneled through SSH/SSL.

  8. What's wrong with keyboard shortcuts? on Mouse Gestures Gain Followers · · Score: 2

    Why introduce another risk?

    Mouse use is already a risk for persons: RSI. Making more movements with the mouse, with gestures, I feel that this is heading a road we don't wanna go.

    Use the keyboard and love your hands/wrists for a long time.

  9. AXIS runs linux on LAN Camera Review · · Score: 4, Informative

    If it is not clear enough, you should know that Axis supports the community and actually runs embedded Linux with features like NTP, FTP, SMTP and dial-up-when-triggered-by-external-switch and other nifty features.

  10. Mirror picture on Escher and Elliptic Curves · · Score: 3, Informative

    Mirror picture here

  11. Mirror here on Panicking In Morse Code · · Score: 2

    I've mirrored the comment page and the patch
    here for your pleasure.

    I remember doing this on a embedded FORTH-system in the 80-ies. The only way to communicate with the board when the RS232 was gone was a little piezo-beeper.

  12. Re:cool. I mean, hot on A Terabyte of Data on a Laptop Hard Drive · · Score: 2
    1. Yes. Do care about the temperature. And the
    power consumption. And the NOISE!

    2. Don't care about the backup. The good thing about having a terabyte of data is that the need for network connections at awkward places now gets minimised.


    Think about it. You have
    In other words: Have instant access to archives of mail, news, movies, music, i.e. instant access to your backups as they are on your drive!


    Put everything in a gigantic CVS and make the laptop just a cvs-mirror. Not the master.
    Wouldn't it be good with just one big CVS?

  13. What is needed is a proper Internet tea-house on Complete Net Cafe Shutdown After Beijing Fire · · Score: 2

    I can see that the chinese government is getting pissed off on all starting internet cafés. It will eventually kill the great tea-culture. What is needed is a proper Internet tea-house that serves both tcp/ip and Assam, Darjeeling, Jasmine and Green tea.

  14. The "Cyberscope" was quite cheap on Cheap 3D Computer Vision? · · Score: 3, Informative

    But it is no longer in production and it is patended.

    Works with any software as it is attached at the front of the screen. Surface mirrors and the idea of doing the view-master 'on screen'

    I'll keep mine for a long time.

    A description and pictures of it here

    Patent here with description.

  15. Re:NSA not even mentioned. on Battle of the Secure Distros · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Sorry, it was.

  16. NSA not even mentioned. on Battle of the Secure Distros · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Interesting that the NSA security enhanced linux is not even mentioned.

    I vote for OpenBSD

  17. Shawn Fannings CV on Napster Execs Resign, Company Appears to Teeter · · Score: 5, Funny

    And for those who wants to hire Shawn, his CV
    is published at todays gnuheter:

    http://www.gnuheter.com/article.php?sid=1486

  18. Just maybe on Google Releases an API for Their Database · · Score: 0, Redundant
    this can be used to avoid slashdot double-postings by CmdrTaco, Timothy and others.


    or ... maybe not

  19. Re:AppleScript for Google API on Google Releases Web APIs · · Score: 4, Informative
  20. O'Reilly has some good code and stuff on Google Releases Web APIs · · Score: 5, Informative

    O'Reilly has a good article here with some code as well in both Java and Perl.

    http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/weblog/view/wlg/1283

  21. D6 on Crappy Passwords Very Common · · Score: 2

    Everyone should go out and buy some dice and use them.

    http://www.diceware.com/

  22. A couple of million XP-users.... on Windows XP is Listening · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just give a couple of million XP-users each a word processor and infinite time and they'll produce the complete works of Shakespeare.

    (Sorry Huxley)

  23. Mirror/Cached papers here on Factoring Breakthrough? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    (as djbs koobera-server seems to be under hard pressure)

    Here you will find mirrors of the original file as well as the document in pdf-format etc:

    http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/462633.html

  24. Far better tools has been free for a long time on Export-level Encryption Proves Insufficient · · Score: 2

    E4M (encryption for the masses) http://www.e4m.net/ is now merged into SecurStar in Germany that offers 256-bit filesystem encryption for Windows. Not in the US.

    PGPdisk has been around for a long time.

    So restricting US export will do nothing.

    Users of *nix systems will probably have even more choices.

    Bonus: PGP-folder-hooks in mutt

  25. Congratulations Ralf. on OpenPKG 1.0 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    Let's just say that Ralf is the commited guy for standard packages.

    http://www.openssl.org/
    http://www.modssl.org/

    To say a few.
    He's the guy that wrote mod_rewrite back in the old days. Tough guy.
