  1. Re:TPM, please? on Ask Slashdot: Tools For Linux Disk Encryption and Integrity? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, using the TPM would be great. Using a pin instead of a passphrase at most startups would be much less cumbersome.

    Obviously you would still need a backup passphrase when you change your motherboard or exhaust the maximum numer of pin tries.

  2. What about Xcode? on Open Source Licensing and the App Store Model · · Score: 2

    Apple's Xcode is included in the Mac App Store. It includes GPLed stuff like GCC. Can this be a problem like VLC?

    Or are the rules for the Mac App Store different from those of the iOS App Store?

  3. com, net & org where a mistake on Can World Governments Veto Your Domain Name? · · Score: 1

    Why do we have generic domain names at all? Wouldn't it be simpler to only have ccTLD's. We could then be spared all this so called "internet governance".

    You could say that countries don't belong in the virtual world. But countries are mostly sociological stuctures created by humans. So they should have a place in the virtual world just as in the material world.

  4. The real nameservers don't match whois on New Caldera Promised · · Score: 1

    The whois info for openlinux.com is posted enough times, here is the output of dig which i did not see:

    hecabe:~ jp$ dig openlinux.com NS

    ; > DiG 9.2.2 > openlinux.com NS ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 29870 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;openlinux.com. IN NS ;; ANSWER SECTION:

    As you see those nameservers don't match the whois record. Another piece of evidence that this is a hoax.

  5. Always Check Your Examples on A9.com with Syndicated Search · · Score: 2, Insightful
    The example in their spec contains invalid XML:

  6. Re:Linux's iproute2+tc on ifconfig refactoring for FreeBSD · · Score: 1, Interesting

    You can do everything ifconfig + iptables using ip + tc and more.

    Try to do ifconfig eth0 allmulti with ip.

  7. Re:Why Java? Why not .NET? on Sun Works With Apache Software Foundation · · Score: 0, Redundant

    With Mono it seems that there will be a Free Software implementation of .NET.

    It's a shame that there is no Free Software implementation of Java2.

    But the situation of both can change. For the moment I stick to plain old Unix and C...
