  1. Re:LART? on Broadcasting Spam into Space · · Score: 1

    LUser Attitude Readjustment Tool. See Also: BOFH

  2. Interesting... Efficient OS, Inefficient modem... on LinModems? · · Score: 1

    Well, I think this is rather bad for normal Linux users who would rather have good hardware than cheap hardware, but to vendors of low-cost PCs, this is a pretty good thing. Instead of a modem being a quarter of the price of the computer ($200, $50 modem), it can be an eigth.

    But, I certainly won't be caught using one.

  3. Re:Other useful UDB info on Free Multias (Pay Shipping Only) · · Score: 1

    Heh... Damn it people, stop giving away the info on the Alphas at CSO... I live 4 miles from them, but damned if I can ever manage to save up enough cash for the setup. I'll have to remember the tip on modifying an ATX PS...

    I also have my heart set on a rackmount quad PPro... -Sigh-

  4. Re:It bears repeating on CNet Article On 2.4 Kernel · · Score: 1

    Ok, to be literal, here's how it went:

    DOS/Win used drive letters.
    NT 3.x kept them to emulate the feel of DOS/Win
    Windows 95 kept them to emulate the feel of DOS/Win
    NT4 kept them to emulate the feel of Win95
    Windows 98 kept them to emulate the feel of DOS/Win & NT4
    Win2000 probably uses drive letters, to emulate the feel of all of the above.

    Just saw that BO2k screen capture... I don't think I'll ever stop laughing...

  6. Re:Obviously LEGO is not an American company ... on Lego Allowing Open-Source OS · · Score: 1

    He wasn't implying anything. The subject is a quote from the summary, and he was pointing out that he thinks Lego is a Danish company.

  7. Re:RTFP on Distributed.net Cracking Scheme Halted · · Score: 1

    So this line:

    Till they throw out this stupid notion of security through obsecurity, and this idotic idea that their current methods scale I'll be running my key faker.

    was just there to make the post buzzword complient?

  8. I'm not quite sure I understand... on New Transmeta Patent · · Score: 1

    "Apparatus and a method for storing data already stored at an often utilized memory address in registers local to a host processor and maintain the data in the registers and memory consistent so that the processor may respond more rapidly when a memory address is to be accessed."

    Caching memory addresses in processor registers? So you have:

    Registers -> Processor Cache -> Motherboard Cache?

    Or am I completely wrong (which is probably quite likely)?

  9. Re:Come on. on Distributed.net Cracking Scheme Halted · · Score: 1

    So, you want them to open the source code so EVERYONE can run a fake client? Brilliant.

  10. Re:I resent this work of slander... on NYT Magazine Says No Network Is Secure · · Score: 1

    Oh please, it was a JOKE! Geez... Read the message again.. He's not a script kiddie, he downloaded the port scanner and compiled it himself. Think about it.

  11. Re:Easy as Pie! on NT4 and Dial-Up Connections · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute.. You're the one who has no clue what you're doing, and the people pointing this out are the bad sysadmins? Am I the only one who sees the flaw in this logic?

    Odds are, you filled in one of the text boxes incorrectly. I'm suprised Cliff even bothered to post this one.

  12. Re:Thanks on Linux Q3Test 1.07 · · Score: 1

    Well I wouldn't call myself a net.demigod *Grin*

    Sorry, just had to do it.

  13. Re:Slow CPU - Not likely on Linux Q3Test 1.07 · · Score: 1

    With Quake 1, 2 and 3, ping is how long it takes for a packet to go from the client to the server, back, and processed. Even over a LAN with 0.2ms ping times, a P133 with a Voodoo1 can get 100ms pings in heated action.

  14. Re:Slow CPU - Not likely on Linux Q3Test 1.07 · · Score: 1

    The problem is, there's latency caused by framerate. Quake draws a frame, processes packets, draws another frame, etc... So it is very heavily CPU bound in that regard.

    This is why Half-Life uses the word Latency instead of Ping.

  15. Anybody notice that... on Super Shielded PC Cases · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else notice this "case" is a slightly modified IBM PC XT 5150?

  16. Re:Cheaper San Francisco?!? on In Silicon Valley $37K/Year May Mean Public Housing · · Score: 0

    Man, I never thought I'd hear the words cheaper and San Francisco together in the same sentence...

    Nah, I hear "cheaper than San Fransisco" all the time...

  17. "If you didn't make it at first, head over again" on Borland Linux Poll: Take Two · · Score: 1

    Actually, they want everyone to come over and vote again, they're not combining the 2 polls results (at least, according to the e-mail seen on Linux Today).

    Ahem...

    FreeBSD
    NetBSD
    OpenBSD
    BSDI

    What am I forgetting?

    To say BSD isn't fragmented is... Well, it's rather obvious what it is.

    Whoops.. The links are good if you remove the /.-imposed spaces it appears.

  20. Re:Here are the numbers on FreeBSD and Linux Comparative Apache benchmarks · · Score: 0

    Those links are just a couple of errors...

    And as for the PRE tag, some people decided it would be funny to use it to make lines 80 screens wide, etc... so it was disabled.

    Don't forget AutoCAD's wonderful scheme... Need a specific disk from your specific installation, and if it goes bad, you're screwed, even if you have multiple disk sets.

    And there's the dongle.

    Hell, 3.5 only needs one or two upgrades, and those aren't required by many (Ok, well for what I use Slack for I didn't need any upgrades)
