  1. Re:I'm confused, what about NASDAQ ticker symbols? on Linus Explains Linux Trademark Issues · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure trademark law counts against incomplete spellings.

    i.e. Microsoft vs. Micosoft
    Linux vs. Lnux

    Can someone answer that for us?

  2. MIRROR on First LPI Certification Exam · · Score: 1

    At least I'm not the vice president. =)

  4. My thoughts... on Software Version Numbering After 2000? · · Score: 3

    I like the way many Linux distributions code name releases. (Manhattan, Slink, Potatoe, etc.) Why can't we do that more often? I think it's much easier to remember Cheese vs Potatoe rather than say 5.1 vs 5.0.1. I'm not saying loose the numbers altogether, but just emphisize the code name more.

    Either code names or we can use another industries system... (GT, VR-4, SX, GS, etc.)

    Spice it up!

  5. I'll be at work... on Bringing E-Com Sites Down for Y2K? · · Score: 1

    *sigh*

    I work for an ISP and they have all the techies schedualed for 10pm to 2 am... Just In Case(tm).

    Atleast they are providing food and drink.

  6. Good... on Yet Another Linux Driver Petition · · Score: 0

    I'm #366!

    I hope this makes a good impression on the industry.

  7. Saving money... on US Army Needs Linux Workstation Advice · · Score: 1

    Why the soundcard, speakers, DVD and LS-120?
    Unless you are doing sound analysis, etc... Hmm.

    It would be faster doing RAID (not sure of the level) for the drives, if you are doing alot of reading/writing.

    Just my 2 cents.

  8. Section 47. on DVD CCA Applies for Restraining Order · · Score: 3

    47. On information and belief, this proprietary information was obtained by willfully "hacking" and/or improperly reverse engineering

    Visit http://www.arin.net/whois/ and enter the IP...

  13. Re:A little research... on The MassLinux Disappearance Explained · · Score: 1

    If you read the whois output:

    Record last updated on 10-Jan-1999.

    So this would have been the original server IP.
    And I can't ping that IP either.

  14. A little research... on The MassLinux Disappearance Explained · · Score: 1

    Try:

    $ whois masslinux.com@whois.networksolutions.com
    $ whois 209.219.204.3@whois.arin.net

    And the ISP shows up. Who would have thought!

  16. ATAPI: WD, SCSI: Seagate on Ask Slashdot: Breaking the Computing Bottleneck? · · Score: 1

    I've seen this pattern alot.

    If it's a ATAPI Seagate, it dies. But not WD.
    If it's a SCSI WD, it dies. But not Seagate.

    WD has the ATAPI market and Seagate has the SCSI market. IMHO.

    He did answer your question. Why do you still ask it?

    Apache asks for more memory. Kernel is confused. Kernel crashes.

  23. Re:We need fiber! on Massive Bandwidth over Powergrids? · · Score: 1

    I live out in the part of Massachusetts that the Bostonians forget about. (Pittsfield?!?! Remember that?!?!) Phone lines are horrible. 56Kbps modem maybe gets 33-40Kbps. We are 150% copper. Some of the lines in the southern county are still wrapped in paper! We need fiber bad. But the TelCo will not spend the money because we are forgoten and unimportant compared to the Boston side. *sigh*
