  1. Sooo many cookies! on IBM And Intel Help Rescue SuSE From Insolvency · · Score: 3, Funny

    NWFusion.com tried to forcefeed me 32 cookies to read the article, I think I have indigestion.

  2. Why romania? on Study on DoS Activity In The Internet · · Score: 1
    I can understand brazil being targeted for DoS attacks due to the amount of spam originating there.

    Why would Romania be on someone's shitlist?

    Surprisingly, Romania (ro), a country with a relatively poor networking infrastructure, was targeted nearly as frequently as net and com.
  3. Python and UML on Ask Guido van Rossum · · Score: 2

    I have seen a couple of Java based Unified Modeling Language tools but no Python support or implementation. It would seem natural to develop in python based on UML, so this must be a large gap in the python suite. What do you think of designing with UML and implementing in python?

    Thorn is an opensource UML editor written in Java with JPython scripting but no python code generation.

    ArgoUML is an opensource UML editor written in Java with no current python code generation

  4. Fault tolerant for hardened environments on First LEON Silicon Tested Successfully · · Score: 5
    Please to read the article(s) before firing off
    negative spin.

    LEON

    The LEON model also exists in a fault-tolerant
    version, capable of detecting and correcting
    single-event upset (SEU) errors in any register
    or RAM element. This is done completely in
    hardware without any software intervention.
    The area overhead for the fault-tolerance
    functions is approximately 30% while the timing
    penalty is around 5%. The fault-tolerant features
    makes it possible to use LEON in the severe
    space environment without having to develop specific SEU-hardened cell libraries.
    The LEON
    fault-tolerant VHDL model can under some conditions be licensed from ESA -


  5. Re:tempfile on Linux 2.4 Schematic Poster (Generated From Source!) · · Score: 1


    It would be less overhead to use the /bin/sh
    $$ facility.

  6. Re:Data warehouse on Million Dollar Reviews: Sun E10K/4500/450 Servers · · Score: 1

    Sun E10K. Lets see, 400MHz processors... If your
    application isn't SMP, you lose.

    I got load average of 145 on our 24CPU 24GB domain
    this morning. Nice to keep the 2 Million dollar
    server busy.

    The 390 linux server is much slower, but it has
    better access to the legacy data. Who needs networks when you can use a memory bus.

  7. Duh! supply your own ad on Opera 5 Free... If You Want Commercials · · Score: 1

    with any webfilter proxy you care to install.
    This is a trivial hack, and so what if Opera loses!

    Enough win-luser eyeballs will see their
    stuff, that a few non-incompetent types with the
    knowledge and skill to install a package and edit
    a config file are no loss to opera or their advertisers.

    But still, it is good to see someone try and
    supply a compliant, non-globalized-megalomanical-corporate-information -service-pimp-browser (&copy Deutchen-sprechen-zum-Englisch) that doesn't try to sign you up for some POS TLA ISP PDQ.

  8. Alphacom Communication is a multilevel marketing on VMSK/2 Promises 5 Times More Bandwidth · · Score: 3

    Multilevel Marketing Organisation.
    Typically ML organisations are more interested
    in building a network of "sales" agents and
    taking their money than in delivering anything
    like they promise.

    Be skeptical.

    See Alphacom Corporate page
    for their spin.

  9. Better solution - proxy filter! on DoubleClick Workaround: IDcide · · Score: 1

    Or any of the squid filters.
    I like sleezeball but the idea is generally understood and sound.
    Are there any publicly available proxies that filter ads? Has anyone written a filter that specifically looks for image cookies and filters them?
    What a public service this would be!

  10. NSI is pushing their luck on NSI Claims whois Database is Proprietary · · Score: 4

    Is it time to start an FSF/Opensource NIC? The technology is not difficult, it is the support of the vast hordes of non-technical (clue-impaired) users requesting their "stupidname.com" which are providing NSI with their windfall, headaches, and raison d'etre. Supporting the technically competent, with their corresponding lower support costs; might make a viable non-profit company.

    Of course, there is always the renegade DNS route. To make it take off and stick, one would need superior technology, a strategy that would embrace and superceed the BIND cartels jugular embrace of the Internet name space, and a desire for an alternative which can provide both alternate and backward compatible name space.

    I would think the non-North American entities who are at the mercy of NSI for Global Top Level Domain Names could agree on an LDAP name system that makes NSI obsolete, and removes the North American legal system and copyright law from what is clearly a Universal Name Registrar.

    This is not a new debate. The control of the Internet has long been a US Government/Academia/Military/Commercial playground. What is needed in the 21st century will be an abstraction away from the cultural straightjacket that has been so widely forcefed to the world as "technology". I would hope to hear that the other 90% of the world's population have a say in how names are fairly allocated, and we would all benefit from a broader perspective.
