  1. Re:CFQ not the default scheduler? on Jens Axboe On Kernel Development · · Score: 1

    well, not in my 2.6.20-rc7 default config.

  2. CFQ not the default scheduler? on Jens Axboe On Kernel Development · · Score: 4, Informative

    Anticipatory is, according to my menuconfig:

    The anticipatory I/O scheduler is the default disk scheduler. It is
    generally a good choice for most environments, but is quite large and
    complex when compared to the deadline I/O scheduler, it can also be
    slower in some cases especially some database loads.
    *

    Anticipatory is also preselected with a fresh .config

    The display seems to change with caps. Change with CTRL/ALT would seem natural.

    Obviously you have no idea what freedb does nor it's purpose.
    Without the CD, the service is/was completely useless.

  10. Re:Frightening the Fox. on Opera 9.0 Released · · Score: 1

    the firefox sourcecode is 209mb. Also, it takes longer to compile than anything else on my system except glibc.

  11. Re:Really? on New Caldera Promised · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I guess they could just release everything as is with the GPL intact, since the pressrelease claims the lawsuit is nearing the end and they probably know they will lose.
    They could also, in theory, strip out disputed code.. but I doubt they will.
    And the suicide option to close the code also exist i guess. The last option might not be that far fetched, since their entire buisiness has been located in the courtroom these last couple of years.

    I really like their disclaimer where they, if they so choose, say it's all the communitys fault if they fail with their "new" endeavour.

  12. Re:Oblig. on Do You Have a PC Posture? · · Score: 1
  13. tainted kernel on Kororaa Accused of Violating GPL · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Tainting the kernel makes it non-compatible with the gpl. This is not normally a problem on your home-system, but if you redistribute the tainted kernel you violate the gpl. Whats the big deal? just remove the evil binary-only drivers and all is well.

    or perhaps im wrong, what do I know, anyway?

  14. Re:theo de raad on Kernel Trap Interview with Theo de Raadt · · Score: 1

    No. You probably refer to Patrick Volkerdi, the author and maintainer of Slackware.
    And he did not ask for help on slashdot, he asked for help in the slackware-changelog, which was later posted on slashdot.

    Heh, was just about to say the same thing. Some companies should just shut up about what they are up to.

  20. Honeypot on Judge Rules Offering != Distributing · · Score: 1

    I've been thinking about this for a while now, and prehaps someone has already done it. I wonder what would happen if one was to set up, say a httpd offering files with names such as "mof-sith1.avi", "mof-sith2.avi" (star wars ep3) etc. Also, filesizes should be appropriate.

    Now, these files would be generated with dd and contain random crap - nothing that would violate anyones copyright.

    Im just curious what would happen:
    1) Nothing, apart from angry emails from ppl who wasted a couple of hours downloading crap.

    2) Would my ISP kill my connection, eventhough ive done nothing wrong?

    3) Would MPAA send me angry emails threatening to rape me, myself and cowboyneal in court?

    4) Something else.

    Id do this myself, but i really like my cheap 10mbit connection :/
