  1. Re:Given enough motivation on Satellite Command Security? · · Score: 1

    yeah but if you accidently send the command that fires the jets and it burns up on reentry then your kinda screwed.

  2. Re:/dev/fb0 ? on Quicktime Under Linux With MPlayer · · Score: 1

    hmm, good question :)
    can't say I've every played around with the framebuffer stuff. I think that it requires a full compile, it can't just be inserted modularly. Might want to do what that other guy said, compile it with SDL support. Or you could just run X and then the option -vo xv should work.

    Check the docs that came with the distro as to the capilblities of the kernel, I use slackware so can't really help you much there.

  3. Re:/dev/fb0 ? on Quicktime Under Linux With MPlayer · · Score: 1

    your problem is the framebuffer device isn't created in the /dev directory. I think if you do /dev/MAKEDEV fb0 it should create it will the correct device numbers and stuff. You also already have framebuffer support in your kernel I'm assuming.

    wow
    where did you get the SGI for $399?

  5. PARC on Palm/3Com Graffiti A Patent Infringement on Xerox · · Score: 1

    Wow, so Xerox might actually make some money off their Palo Alto Research Center. Its too bad that they sold if off or closed it. Have they made any money off of anything else invented there? I know laser printers but that's the only money making idea that I've heard of.

  6. Re:Opera is one alternative [karma is low; plz rat on Slashback: Gaping, Wristwear, Screenies · · Score: 1

    didn't they release it under both the gpl and the npl and another one?
    Therefore if its released in some form under the gpl then it would be truly free

  7. Re:A bit on the MIT bust... on Slashback: Gaping, Wristwear, Screenies · · Score: 2

    I belive he ment 8-20 Mbit/sec a day, as in the average bandwidth useage of him was 8-20Mbit/sec. Although it could use some clarifcation.

  8. Re:No longer a svelte youngster? on Planning For 80-Year Old B-52s · · Score: 1

    Forgive me if I'm mistaken but doesn't the article say "They flew 33 out of 34 days during the bombing of Slobodan Milosevic's capital, Kosovo.", wouldn't that be Serbia?

  9. Re:COPYING IS NOT STEALING on Fed Raids Software Pirates in 27 Cities · · Score: 1

    nope its not as long as a copy of the porsche is still there for the owner to use and is compleatly functional

  10. Re:Thats not the point. on Fed Raids Software Pirates in 27 Cities · · Score: 1

    um, so all the in-house software done by places like oil companies to research new oil drilling areas assists in producing software that the oil companies sell? They sell software? I figured they only sold oil and used the software to make more money.

  11. Re:No surprises here on Wu-ftpd Remote Root Hole · · Score: 1

    go search for pure-ftpd on freshmeat.net, its the easiest most secure ftpd I've seen.

  12. Re:wuftpd is a security hole anyway on Wu-ftpd Remote Root Hole · · Score: 1

    or you could run pure-ftpd for an even simpler install

  13. Re:They're calling US dishonest? on Cable Co's Want More Control Over Your Network · · Score: 1

    BGP4 would be what you would want to run on all the NAT machines, that way you could have load balanceing and if you could convince your provider to announce your routes all 4 ips would be seen as one as far as some things would be concerned. (At least from what I kinda remember about BGP)

  14. Re:So, if I read this correctly.... on Cable Co's Want More Control Over Your Network · · Score: 1

    how do you figure?
    in linux they are set to use from like 60K or higher but that's just a define in the source, you could easily chage that to start at 0 and go up.

  15. Re:Doom didn't start it on The History of Doom On All Systems · · Score: 1

    I read somewhere that Wolfenstein's illusions of 3d were done by stretching textures whereas Doom acutally tiled them or whatever to create a real 3d space.

  16. Re:Should I be impressed? on Rowing Across the Atlantic · · Score: 1

    yeah if he acutally was swimming the whole time. If you read his schedual he was swimming for 8 hours a day in 2 hour blocks. The rest of the time was spent on a ship. Also during inclement weather he rode and excercise cycle.

  17. Re:Like the Beetle vs Water-pumpers on Using Radiators to Cool CPUs · · Score: 1

    Acutally I think Porsche stopped making them in the mid 90s, now its all water cooled. The 944 and 928 were some of the early water cooled ones, whereas the 911 has historically been air cooled.

  18. Re:Y.A.A.A or Y.A.L.A on Athlon XP1900+ -- Faster Than A 2GHz P4? · · Score: 1

    Actually I think the chase scene in the orginal "Gone in 60 Seconds" was one of the best ever filmed. Its pretty much the entire movie.

    Wow that is some good shit..man if you need porn check ithumbz

  20. Re:$99? Lindows? on "Lindows" Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    That's what I thought for a while, but recently I blew away my windows partition and turned it into a reiserfs partition. I tried wine, and after fixing a few config things (had to make a /windows and /windows/system directory somewhere) I can get halflife to run just fine, along with a bunch of others. Only thing I'm having trouble on is getting Diablo 2 to run.

  21. Office Suite on OpenOffice Coder On StarOffice 6.0's Beta Release · · Score: 1

    Wow, I hope now linux finally has a less bloated and faster office suite. I know Star Office has come a long way, but I think that this solution is better for the end user because it allows more customization. I.E. You can remove parts that you don't like like autocomplete or other "features". I'll have to try this along side star office, hopefully both have matured greatly.

    Nearly a 1TB /home partition, damn that's a lot of pr0n!!

  23. Re:WOW! on A Quick Look At Mac-On-Linux · · Score: 1

    Perhaps Win4Lin or Wine, but not VMWware, if you haven't noticed, vmware emulates the entire x86 chip, hence you can run any os on it and it has its own bios, etc.

    Multiple folks on single IP's do break the graphics idea. Might just have to cut them off. Don't have to serve everybody, for example, I'm blocked from some IE specific pages when I use NS or others


    Um, yeah just block all of AOL, and a good percentage of the @home network (or what's left of it). I'm sure you will still get tons of hits... If your target audience doesn't use AOL or @home, or in the case of AOL, they hate it, then your audience might want to look into the blocking software which means you probably have either blocked or alianated over three quarters of your 'customers', yep great way to try and pay the bills.
