  1. :-) on Windows ME - The End Of UMSDOS And BeOSfs Over Vfat? · · Score: 1

    X-Window is a graphical shell on top of a 20+ year old unix code base

  2. Finally! on Windows ME - The End Of UMSDOS And BeOSfs Over Vfat? · · Score: 1

    Finally, I found a sane person on Slashdot !!!

  3. Re:A couple ideas on Ideas for High School Computer Projects? · · Score: 1

    Duh? You need to know differential calculus for this!!! HS student don't have it

  4. Re:More information... on Ideas for High School Computer Projects? · · Score: 1

    I don't care about MPAA. If MI-2 is good, I'm gonna watch it wheter it's MPAA or not. Same thing with music and RIAA. Metallica's actions may suck but it doesn't change the fact that their older albums are good.

  5. Team projects on Ideas for High School Computer Projects? · · Score: 1
    Maybe you could assign projects in team. Like 10 people working on a unique project instead of each working individually.

    You might also hand them a general problem with not too much details and let them create a solution. That's how it works in my engineering faculty: we have a vague problem and we create a solution ourself with minimal support from the teacher.

    Avoid those kinds of "exercices" problem. Think of something that will take longer to do and more interessting. Situation where you have a lot of freedom to design your solutions are always interesting. Plus, you learn a lot in the process.

  6. Re:NEWS UPDATE on Ericsson And Red Hat In Home Communications · · Score: 1

    So..... what's wrong with trying to compete with other companies ? If Nokia was the only maker of cell phones, prices would be to high...

  7. You need to have a vision on Ericsson And Red Hat In Home Communications · · Score: 2

    In business, you need to be a visionnary to be sucessful.

    If you wait until the demand is there, it's too late: someone already jumped on the opportunities. So you don't wait for the demand, you *create* it.

    If you create a demand and fullfill it, you'll be succesfull. That's what Ericsson and RedHat want to do.

  8. Let's try that too! on Hotmail about to collapse under load · · Score: 1

    By the way why can't Slashdot convert CR to
    tags, it's sucks to write those
    when you want a new line.

  9. Re:uhm on Hotmail about to collapse under load · · Score: 1

    huh stupid these are used as desktop computer, so the user must have Admin rights on its own machine

  10. Re:Netcraft Result on Hotmail about to collapse under load · · Score: 1

    Of course moron the load balancer does not use the same OS as the webserver. Real load balancer from Cisco and others run their own internal OS. That's how it's done.

  11. Re:Gimme a break. on Hotmail about to collapse under load · · Score: 1

    Why "prior to SP6a" ?

    You run the latest linux kernel, so why not be fair and use the latest SP6a ?

  12. Re:not that it's the best, but.... on Hotmail about to collapse under load · · Score: 1

    Did you try it yourself ? NT4 was stable. I crashed only 3 or 4 times in a full year on my computer. Don't make any claim about something you never tried.

    That's not true. Take for example printers.

  14. Re:inexp on Suck Says Mozilla Is Dead · · Score: 1

    You obviously don't know anything about marketing. Technicals merits only sells to techies. Look at how Mozilla look. The mere fact that it is ugly is enough to make people use something else.

  15. Re:Why, oh why? on The Open Windows Project · · Score: 1

    Let's face it: The vast majority of computers users and don't know how the whole thing works. That's why they need Windows. Also, Linux lacks of apps. What do you do when you need to read an Office 2000 file, or need to draw plans on a real CAD system like Catia and AutoCAD ? People want to share documents with everyone. If they use Linux, they cannot do that. I happen to use Linux only when needed. Last winter I had a programming course on unix. I was happy to have linux and gcc: it avoided me to rush to the SparcStation labs. But beside some niche applications, I don't think Linux will succeed on the desktop.

  16. Why ? on The Open Windows Project · · Score: 1

    Why some poeple waster their time writing a windows clone ? I mean if you want Windows, buy the damn thing and take your time to develop something else

  17. What's new ? on KDE 2.0 Beta 3 Is Out · · Score: 1

    What's new in KDE 2.0 ?

  18. Re:Stenography anyone? on Digital Voices From Rogue Nations? · · Score: 1

    A good stenography technique might be to mix a little bit of white noise in a 16 bit sound file. Then you put your data in the last bit of each 16 bit sample. Since encrypted data looks like noise and there is actually white noise in the sound file, there are good chances that your encrypted file would go undetected.

  19. Re:Private communication is easy. on Digital Voices From Rogue Nations? · · Score: 1

    And if using encryption products is illegal, what can you do ? And you can't hide the encrypted stuff with stenography.

  20. Not practical on Digital Voices From Rogue Nations? · · Score: 1

    You guys forget that you're talking to normal user. They don't want to do what you're talking about...

  21. Re:Steganography is *not* the answer on Digital Voices From Rogue Nations? · · Score: 1

    Stenography is good if it's used with cryptography

  22. A possible solution on Digital Voices From Rogue Nations? · · Score: 1

    A possible solution is to move your web site offshore.

    Montreal based ZeroKnowledge company (www.zeroknowledge.com) is producing a software called Freedom which should be usefull for people living in countries without freedom of speech. I think it routes your traffic through a dynamic network of secured sites.

    Seems to be good.

  23. Overclocking is for dorks on Asus A7V Overclocking Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Unless you're a dork wasting your time playing computer games instead of hanging out with chicks, drinking beer and getting laid, overclocking is not necessary these days with fast cheap processor like the AMD Duron.

    What you want is a fast hard-disk and lots of RAM and that will do. Seriously I'm getting sick of these "Celeron 300 pushed to 973mhz" type of articles.

    These articles are not news!!!
