  1. Re:Notes for the day... on Our New Pearl Harbor · · Score: 1

    I don't think that this is quite ironic although this is very sad.
    The fact that today is International Peace Day and the anniversary of the start of the 1978 Camp David Peace Accord talks would lead me to believe that this was planned specifically for today. Especially with the Camp David peace talks, I have heard, at this point unconfirmed rumors, that the plane that went down in PA was headed for Camp David. How close that would have gotten I cannot say and do not wish to speculate about.
    My thoughts go out to those who have lost anyone to this.

  2. Re:Corel's Distro on Corel May Have A Buyer For Its Linux Division · · Score: 1

    I have a copy of 1.2 that was handed to my upon entering the a Rebel.com building, it's sitting on the Corel cube that Tux is holding, also from a trip to the same Rebel.com building.

    The installation is great, its as easy if not easier then a windows install, sure not great if you want to set more then a few options during install, but if it's your first time installing an OS, you should be fine.

    Dude, it was a joke, and thus modded as Funny, Read HAHA.

  6. Re:@home preventative measures on Code Red Back For More · · Score: 1

    Nope I work with this damn fool and I can verify what happened.

    When the lil'kitty-cat-man's main boxen, dual-p3, crashed he moved to a backup system a p2-233 and installed win2k, he runs a nice little site that no one wants to have \.ed and apparently either someone complained, he was using too much bandwidth or @home really did notice, this may have been too early but what if this was RedII and it made an attempt on an @home server, DHCP, DNS, etc??

    But in anycase, he calls @home, they say you running services, bad, you have virus code red, bad, fix and we let you back on, good.

    Reboot, shut off IIS, call back, they say must call back during business hours to get reactivated, wait without access for way too long and then call, everything cool.

  7. What about.... on Code Red Back For More · · Score: 4, Funny

    My range, I don't seem to find anything coming from 127.x.x.x and I installed CodeRedII myself.

  8. Windows XP Home edition. on TCP/MS, We'll Cure What Ails You · · Score: 1

    Actually Windows XP does allow you to create non-administrator accounts.

    You just need to create a second account and as the Administrator (Original Account, this can be named whatever you want) and take away Administrator access.

    By default all acounts created in Home Edition have Administrator access.

    So yes, it is possible, and no, it's not fscking likely to happen.

  9. Re:Reusable Balloon? on Canadian Team Plans Balloon-Aided X-Prize Entry · · Score: 3
    Are we missing something by not reading all of the article???
    1. The rocket carrying passenger Brian Feeney lifted to an altitude of 18km -- suspended 300m below a piloted hot-air balloon . The computer-controlled engine ignites and the rocket simultaneously separates from the balloon tether.

    2. After 7 - 8 seconds of flight at 60 degrees followed by thrust vectoring to 90 degrees , the four fins separate from the rocket. The main engine cuts off at 40km, and the rocket glides for about five minutes in zero - G.
    Emphasis mine of course, but if I am not mistaken the balloon is piloted, so then it should be landable, and the rocket is launched at a 60 degree angle to move away from the balloon then they change the vector to 90 degrees to continue into space.

  10. Wouldn't doing this make both drives accessable... on Select or Lock Hard Drives... With a Key · · Score: 1
    From what I read in the article, the lock shorts one set of jumpers or the other set or neither.

    Why would you use the master jumpers, if you were to use the slave jumper then the other drive would usually default to master and you would have a dual booting system with both drives accessable.

    The only problem I can see with this is when you set no jumpers what happens? I have seen some instances where the first drive on the cable will boot, when the first drive the BIOS ids will boot or when neihter drive would boot.

    But would this not work if one never used the neither on option?

  11. This is being built by Spacehab..... on Movies in Space? · · Score: 2

    Does "sales promotion activities must be conducted by Exhibitor within its booth" not apply to MS?
