  1. Looks Like DNS on VoIP Gets a New P2P Routing Protocol (DUNDi) · · Score: 1

    Is this just like dns except a phone number to ip mapping? It sure seems to look that way. you could have just intergrated something like this into bind and been done with it. call it a PHONE record or PBX record. Why does It have to be so complicated?

    Some one should do a study on the spread and efects of "Meme's" such as these on slashdot and compile a list of uniqe instances as they archived. I think this would make for an interesting read at some future time

  3. Re:Which version of wine? on SpecOpS Labs Response to Wine Project · · Score: 1

    Thank you for clarifying that :)

    I looked for my self just to be sure. This might posably mean that even if they shiped wine code all there bits could be seperate binaries becuse linking to a LGPL program is alowed (Though as always this is up for debate as well these days).

  4. Which version of wine? on SpecOpS Labs Response to Wine Project · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If they used code from the MIT-X Licened codebase they could do with it what ever they wanted too as long as they gave credit. This means ship binaries only. Wine has only recently become GPL/LGPL (I forget which, i think it is LGPL) So in the end this discusion could be for nothing.

    If you need something with a bit more power to replace an ageing cobalt rack take a look at this..

    My company has been working on this device for a while, though its not quite ready yet, it will be a lot closer to a cobalt in features and flexability. This takes a lot more ram and harddrive. Base price will be $1500 bucks.

    Comes with...

    2.4 ghz p4
    40 gig hd upgradeable up to 2 of what ever the largest drives avaliable
    Comes with 256meg of ram upgradeable to 2 gig
    Two 10/100/1000 ethernet ports (gigE)
    Comes with Amoeba Linux with web based administration and package managment
    One pci slot

    Nice eh? Let me know what you think of it.

  9. One problem with the article? on Distribution of Wealth in a Robot-Driven World · · Score: 2, Insightful

    One iteresting problem that authors of these kinds of things forget is "if there is no money to take there is no money to make" If you have that many people out of work you will have no one to buy anything that robots provide. Cueently most economic models are circular. in order to spend money a consumer has to be able to earn it. in order to make money a company has to have consumers able to spend money. I feel another posable way to deal with the issues in the article would be for the goverment to produce products with robaot technonogy with all people as the share holders, Therefor when something is sold every one makes money to buy things

    Just a few thoughts on these issues :)

  11. Chewbacca Defense on Red Hat Sues SCO, Sets Up Legal Fund · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Ladies and Gentlemen of this supposed jury, SCO's accusers would certainly want you to believe my client was lieing about their software patents and copyrights, and they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself. But Ladies and Gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider.
    Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk who carried a gun and ran from the mob. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it. That does not make sense. Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor with a bunch of two-foot-tall Ewoks. That does not make sense. But more important, you have to ask yourself what does this have to do with this case.
    Nothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case. It does not make sense. Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major software company and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and Gentlemen I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense.
    And so you have to remember when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No. Ladies and Gentlemen of this supposed jury it does not make sense. If Chewbacca lives on Endor you must acquit.
    I know he seems guilty. But ladies and gentlemen this is Chewbacca. Now think about that for one minute. That does not make sense. Why am I talking about Chewbacca when a companies future is on the line? Why? I'll tell you why. I don't know. It doesn't make sense. If Chewbacca does not make sense you must acquit. Here look at the monkey , look at the silly monkey.

  15. Nothing to see here, move along..... on Fast TCP To Increase Speed Of File Transfers? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Looks like this this

    SCTP is a reliable transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet network such as IP. It offers the following services to its users:

    -- acknowledged error-free non-duplicated transfer of user data,
    -- data fragmentation to conform to discovered path MTU size,
    -- sequenced delivery of user messages within multiple streams,
    with an option for order-of-arrival delivery of individual user
    messages,
    -- optional bundling of multiple user messages into a single SCTP
    packet, and
    -- network-level fault tolerance through supporting of multi-
    homing at either or both ends of an association.

    The design of SCTP includes appropriate congestion avoidance behavior
    and resistance to flooding and masquerade attacks.

  19. Re:How i see this on FoxPro On Linux, Drama Ensues · · Score: 1

    Well that could be used as well but its more of a programing enviorment than what Access or FoxPro is. basicaly what is needed is a program that you point at a data base and you create data binded forms and saves what you make as a executiable with little programing requiered if any. this is what makes Access and FoxPro so inticeing for comapnies.

  20. How i see this on FoxPro On Linux, Drama Ensues · · Score: 2, Insightful

    First of all FoxPro and access have a lot in common in that they both basicaly do the same thing. Most companies do not use its internal database features, but use the form generation tools to create database frontend applications to larger, more robust server based database systems.

    Linux lacks a robust RAD tool for createing such frontends. A lot of companies rely on ever changeing data access forms that change with each project. Access and FoxPro enable them to do this with little hasel. This is why Access and FoxPro refuse to die. At the same time this is one of the things preventing Linux from being used in a corprate desktop enviorment. This also explanes why most database apps in linux are witen as web based applications. Linux needs a peice of software that works like Access and FoxPro. Abbras (i think its called) that is included in Star Office is close, but it dosen't alow for createing stand alone apps in the way Access and FoxPro do.

    Basicaly, the point im trying to make is that Microsoft never thows a fit about anything unless there is a reason. By getting FoxPro and Access to run on Linux these guys are threatening Microsofts hold on the corprate market and they know it. This shows that if a alternitive or clone of FoxPro or Access was created it would hurt Microsoft quite a bit. I support anything that prevents Microsoft from controling the corprate working enviorment. If no one wants to create a subsitute to FoxPro or Access this this will have to do. By supporting these guys in there endevor you are putting another nail in M$'s coffin.
