    Good work!

  2. Registry on Linux on Solving the /etc Situation? · · Score: 0

    I really love the registry on Windows. It's fast, flexible, and Microsoft have allready defined a standard by their included programs, and Office. I hope Linux sooner or later would like to use this stunning registry-database.

    Please dont give me the shit about registry corrupts and similar, there's no problem with this now. It works nicely atleast on our atleast 8000 clients

  3. Re:Some clarifications on CentOs 4.0 Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Allthough Whitebox is a similar project, I would like to warn people of using other projects than CentOs. Other distro's are maintained by a very small number of developers, whilst the CentOS team consist of MANY. We ran WhiteBox for a while, and when the main person behind Whitebox was at vacation, there was NO UPDATE what so ever. Read my lips.

    it's not exactly difficult.

  5. Wave the AMD flag to get better prices on Dell Rejects AMD Chips (again) · · Score: 1, Redundant

    - Intel has becomed a supplier. Thus Dell get special prices
    - When buyers of big amounts complain about AMD price, Intel always bend and give Dell a better price (we've experienced this atleast once as a buyer).

    characters like !,.'$ is pretty much not supported by google. i would like those to be included in the future.

  8. This is allready been used on Censoring The Net With A Hotmail Account · · Score: 2, Informative

    There was an anti-spam attempt made by a group from Europe. They created a service called anti-spam, which constantly loaded gifs/jpgs from the spam-sites, making traffic go high. these were published on normal http sites in europe.

    Suddenly mails were sent to owners about that the http spread warez and similar. My guess is that the spam-sites created fake mails about this, and after 3 hours the site was closed.

    I guess we need a better way of dealing with this.

  10. Dell 25ms monitors are NOT intended for gaming on Does Your LCD Play Catch-Up To Your Mouse? · · Score: 1

    Monitors are not Hz anymore. They are milliseconds. This means how fast a pixel can change.

    A standard monitor is 25ms, and thus is far to slow for action gaming, like Counter-Strike and similar.

    What you need is a low-ms screen. They are often maximum 17" and you should have as low ms as possible.

    It seems to me that PC magazines do not check this when they rate LCD screens. All they compare is how bright they are and colours.

    I have several friends that have burned themselves like you have now. Their monitors lags and they get killed easily in multiplayer games.

    It's about time PC magazines check this out.

  11. And you really wonder on Microsoft's Lobbying Priorities: Limiting Open Source · · Score: 1

    will the large news corporations EVER report this?

    Wake up USA. Your system has broken down. You live in a mediocracy, where the news control what you should know.

    Thanks Slashdot, for staying independent.

    OpenBSD is much slower.

    Are we now paying for using the most well-known OS?

    i bet there is some kind of ip you can steal that make you auto-root on any of these boxes (by getting the key for ssh auth).

  17. NFS should be declared illegal anyways on Linux Kernel 2.6.8 Released. Oh wait, it's 2.6.8.1 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Anyways, people running NFS should be reported for crime anyways. It's hilarious that companies still run this VERY unsecure filesharing method. It's so easy to hack it, that it should be declared illegal.

  21. About documentation on It's the Documentation, Stupid! · · Score: 3, Funny

    The 10 laws of documentation of an GNU program:

    1. Add a 3-line FAQ for expected "bugs"
    2. Add "We need documentation authors" to README
    3. Wait for documentation to be written when you are finished with v1.0
    4. Delay documentation since it would break with the current v1.1 development
    5. You don't bother doing the documentation, since you've allready documented most in the source.
    6. When it works, you just publish the source and hope somebody else will do the rest.
    7. Make a website, create a logo and start having a nice time making design and stuff. When finally creating the documentation/index.html, just add Under Construction, since what you really want is a even better logo.
    8. Write some complex documentation, and hold back the real tutorials and publish them in a book.
    9. Spend some time with emacs, to finally understand that it sucks to write documentation when you have to think of line-breaks in a text document.
    10. Include an myfile.conf.example which you think will cover most questions anyway. Do forget on purpose that many lines need linebreaks at end of text, even if it's the last line. And also forget to add that TAB's are not supported in your .conf file.

  22. Re:No on Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales Responds · · Score: 1

    I fear your trust in the source of quotes.

    There has been numerous quotes in both large newspapers and expensive encyclopedias. Did you know that many official persons often give incorrect statements? Do you know that newspaper and encyclopedias are often VERY coloured by the view of their nation?

    To fail your students are like pretending to trust the "official sources", the "official views", from which in the end really is text from which money and heavy nationalistic views give growth to.
