  1. Re:BOHICA on Microsoft Identifies, Patches Another Critical RPC Hole · · Score: 4, Funny

    And because I felt like a little pain one day, I installed Windows Server 2003 on a machine. I was impressed by the fact that it did seem everything was pretty much turned off be default. But 45 seconds later (as I was downloading the patches) I got the dialog box warning me the machine will be rebooted in 60 seconds.

  2. Re:Darl's interesting quoting style on SCO Run-Time Licenses: Get 'em While They're Hot! · · Score: 0

    That isn't the reason the code presented by SCO wouldn't compile. It was just that they didn't even copy the code correctly from the kernel source to their slide.

  3. Re:zsh and BASH? Not me... on Apple Switches tcsh for bash · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you edit the line and press enter the old line is preserved, and a new entry of the edited command is added to your history. But if you edit a line, and just push the down arrow key, the old history entry is saved.

    So if you want to preserve the old command press enter, if you want to save the edited line, press the down arrow.

    The only problem comes is when you want to preserve the old command and press the down arrow by mistake.

    I think what he was saying is:

    ls /some/big/long/complicated/dir/name[enter]
    [up arrow]
    [backspace]x5
    [down arrow]
    [up arrow]

    The "/name" is still missing. This history has been edited. There is no way to get it back. I like it for when I accidently type my password on the command line, I can go back up and delete it, and it will be gone. I don't like it, when I remove a complicated command and then discover I need it again.

    See if your receiver has any compression settings. Sometimes changing the size setting for your speakers will also introduce a little dynamic range compression.

  6. Re:perchild MPM on Implementing True WebDAV Homedirs? · · Score: 1

    It would be perfect, if it could serve more than 5 pages before hanging solid. The perchild MPM is unsupported, and development on it has pretty much halted. The Apache developers are working on something else similar, but it isn't near complete.

  7. Re:Question on Freenet 0.5.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it came from 127.0.0.1. Also MP3s are big enough that the encrypted fragments will be stored on many different nodes. Not to mention the node that handed your node the fragment may not have it stored on their hard drive, Freenet routes the fragments through multiple hops, so you can even tell where the file originated. That also makes it so you can't tell the IP that requested the data either.

  8. Re:Very sad on AOL Lays Off 50 Netscape Coders · · Score: 1

    Netscape/AOL run FTP servers that you can download the browser from.

    This is what I actually used to do in the "old days", with Win95 machines that didn't have a browser packed in.

  12. Re:Article at xml.com... on Browser Support for XHTML? · · Score: 1
    The problem with the mod_rewrite suggested in that article, is the:
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.html$
    I follow the "cool URIs don't change" rules, and don't link to any .html pages, they are all served without extensions. So with no .html ending my REQUEST_URI the REWRITE will never be triggered.

    There are seperate versions for Mac and PC. The PC version has a larger left margin.

  14. Virtual Light on Real Life Doom With Point-And-Shoot Positioning · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I want it built into my sun glasses, so I if I focus on an object for 250 ms, it pops up a little yellow box telling me what it is.

  15. Re:ABS Works on Honda Crash Detection System · · Score: 1

    Constant braking at the absolute threshold that the tire to road surface will allow will give you the shortest possible stopping distance. But if you lock a tire up, and it starts to slide, you loose a lot of stopping ability and control. Panic stops with all four wheels locked means the car will slide much father than if it was a controlled stop, and the driver can keep the car in a straight line.

    A lot of drivers out there can't keep from mashing the pedel to the floor. This is where anti-lock brakes help.

  18. Inconceivable on GCC 3.3 Native Build For NetBSD/dreamcast · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Shouldn't he also have rebuilt gcc with the new binutils? Then rebuilt binutils with that resulting gcc?

    BTW: I just symlink the binutils source directory from inside the gcc source directory (i.e. ln -s ../binutils-2.13.2.1 binutils) and then "make bootstrap-lean". This takes care of the interdependancies. You can also do the same for flex and bison.

  19. Re:2.4.21 final is the same as RC8 on Linux Kernel 2.4.21 Released · · Score: 1

    That how they will always do it now, and have done it for a few releases. There were problems with the final rc working okay, but one little patch that shouldn't have hurt anything, hurting something.

    2.4.21-rc8 will not patch cleanly to 2.4.22-rc1, because there is one tiny change, the version number.

    Last week I saw on l-k, 1 year, but it was later ammended to 6 months.

    So 6 months to a year from last week.
