  1. Re:RedHat 7.3 fix already in openssl-0.9.6b-24? on Linux Worm Spreading, Many Systems Vulnerable · · Score: 1
    A fully updated Red Hat 7.3 box still reports Apache 1.3.23, but the package does contain the fix. This is the way Red Hat issue security fixes.

    Perhaps this has squeued the Netcraft results?

  2. Re:Pop-up ads don't bother me so much... on Pop-Up Ads Begin To Face Serious Opposition · · Score: 1

    If you're ctrl-alt-del'ing just to get Task Manager up you can press ctrl-shift-esc to bring it up instead. HTH!

  3. Re:Why is this specifically a problem for dreamcas on Attack Of The Dreamcasts · · Score: 1
    "any machine with an IP stack"

    Hey, they could use TINIs.

  4. Re:Very similar concept to Memento on Narrative and Weblogs: the Blognovel · · Score: 1
    If you watched each scene in the right order, it would have been a pretty dumb movie.

    You can actually do that with the DVD release of Memento, however dumb it may seem...

  5. Re:Good link... on The Open Source Cookbook? · · Score: 1

    They did a good pizza article recently too.

  6. Re:Tortoise on Electronic Music 101? · · Score: 1

    DJED off of Millions Now Living is an exercise in live band and sampler ...and one of the greatest records ever.

  8. Re:Java on Opera 6.0 for Linux Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Java != JavaScript

  9. Re:Revolutions Outlive Pioneers on Napster Execs Resign, Company Appears to Teeter · · Score: 1

    It was P2P because files were transferred directly between two peers.

    Admittedly there were central servers to coordinate this transfer.

  10. Re:any id game (or most games with an id engine) on Games in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

  11. Re:Bike Theives Must Die!!! on Wireless, GPS-Loaded 'Bait Car' Traps Thieves · · Score: 1
    Here at the University of Nottingham you can walk around and see neat little pieces of bike-racks removed with pipe-cutters.

    I can vouch for that. Mine and two friends bikes were taken at the end of last term, when someone crowbarred their way into Sherwood Hall bike shed...

  12. Re:Question for K users: are virtual desktops back on LinuxPlanet Reviews KDE 3.0 · · Score: 1
    Even though support is there, it still doesn't have everything. You can only switch desktops horizontally, not vertically. Back in the day, I used fvwm, and grew quite fond of having a 3x3 desktop. If only this was configurable...

    You can switch vertically.

  13. Re:Question for K users: are virtual desktops back on LinuxPlanet Reviews KDE 3.0 · · Score: 1
    As long as you can turn that feature off, I wouldn't mind them including it :) That has got to be one of the single most annoying features for me... I routinely slam my mouse off to the side when I need to read a large chunk of text

    You can set it to change only when you're dragging a window. Which is nice.

  14. Re:One Facet of good design: Elegance on What Makes a Good Web Design? · · Score: 1
    Provide the text you want, and arrange it on the page in a nice readable way (with CSS, preferably)

    Well said, but also name your stylesheet so it can be turned off (in Mozilla) and the page can be returned to bare HTML.

  16. Re:Werid day... on 2.5.4 Kernel Out · · Score: 1
    patch-2.4.18-pre7-ac3.bz2 came out on 04-Feb-2002 08:04 - freshmeat.net has only just put it up...

    However, Linux 2.5.3-nsa1 did come out today so you are right. 4 kernel trees out today!

  17. Re:Congratulations! on 2.5.4 Kernel Out · · Score: 3, Informative

    It'd be nice if they linked to the actual patch instead of some massive CGI output...

  18. Re:Use The Mirrors, Luke! on Kernel 2.5.3 Released · · Score: 3, Informative
    You should link directly to the list of mirrors.

    Yeah, but not the list of sites that kernel.org mirrors themselves as they currently are.

  19. Re:Not very way back! on How the Wayback Machine Works · · Score: 1

    The images are references to slashdot itself. The files hvae been moved since '97 I expect. This things gonna generate a lot of 404s for everyone.

  20. Re:Not very way back! on How the Wayback Machine Works · · Score: 3, Informative

    Check out the cable kits - they look pretty genuine...

  22. Re:10.2 sound?? on US Military Ramps Up Stinky VR Training · · Score: 1

    5.1 is 5 channels plus 100Hz right?

    no

    • 5.1 = five channels plus a sub channel
    • 10.2 = twice as good, clearly.
