  1. I am in the same boat on Tape Backups for Personal Use, Using Linux? · · Score: 3

    I would stay as far as you can from onstream drives, as they went bust, you will be able to get their drives used. How ever their drives are really bad, worse then a Cd-r could ever be.

  2. Change your mount points on Monitoring What Files Your Applications Leave Behind? · · Score: 3

    And then install it. Make a second /usr for the install. Or try using a small shell script that will traverse the file system and tell you all the recently modified files. Or just use a virtual machine.

    Whats special about JWZ's project is that he did it via a network and he gave great instructions to do so.

    Well if you check out the page it refers to Dance Not Art. The orginal owner didnt want an art club, he wanted a "Dance Not Art Lounge".

    The spraypainting thing refers to ibms wonderful add campaign that landed them 30 days of community service because they spray painted side walks in citys accross america. I have seen them in San Francisco and they arent washable like they seem to think they are.

  8. Re:Great marketing on Grab A Piece Of Big Blue's Big Iron · · Score: 3

    One thing I was thinking is that IBM might decide to do the MSN/hotmail thing and make all things transmitted accross the mainframe its property. I doubt they would do it, but this is IBM, they havent lost the stigma they earned in the past.

    This is a great oportunity for people that want expernce with a mainframe, one thing that linux runs well on. Its a learning experence much akin to the the hacker ethic, but it is also a blatint plug for ibm.

  12. Re:Not completely unreasonable on Software Tracks Kids At School · · Score: 2

    Simply because a parent doesnt want a child to go to a webbsite doesnt mean that its a mistake. The inhernt dogma that all parents make the right decsions for their kids is wrong. By giving parents the right to look at what their kids are doing *all* the time will make the child feel very abused.

    As I understood it in school, its the childs job to do well, its their time. So why then would you impose all the strict rules of monitoring? Just because you can have sex and produce a child doesnt mean that you should govern with a facist totalitarian fist.
    And certianly it doesnt give you the right to, after all you cant beat your kids.

    I was wondering that myself, but I had heard that proccessing power was a large part as well. I have also heard that parts of the cisco OS just dont have support for it, but this isnt coming from a cisco certifed person just some local geek friends I know.

  14. Wondering...with speculation on Pentagon Wants IPv6 by 2008 · · Score: 2

    So I like some of the ideas behind ipv6, but at the same time I dont like other things. I personaly see why evently we need to leave dotted quad, but the ability to censor seems to be beyond reason. To be able to stop a packet at the border, to be able to tell the type of media being transmited, to be able to cap users bandwidth useage, etc.

    I have heard that one of the reasons that people cant get ipv6 out there fast enough is because of companys like cisco and others not having ipv6 supported well as of yet, is this true?
    If its not, why is it taking so long?
    What are the bennifits to staying with dotted quad?
    Where is a good lamens description of ipv6?

    Unless he is sshing into the past his company owns the code.
    The only problem is that they wouldnt know what code was theirs if they wanted to own it, and they could (Not too sure but even this isnt that far fetched now) fight him in court for all of it :)

  18. THE ACCIDENTAL CRUSADER -- wtf? on Europeans in Western China, 1200 B.C. · · Score: 2

    The link takes me to a story about a ban on pesticides in canada and the history of lawns in the US.
    What gives?
    Can anyone give me the correct link to this story? And no this isnt redundant no one pointed it out as of yet.


    I do however think that this story has more to do with geeks then anyone pertaning to mummys...

    Does anyone know the other chemical used in conjection with 2,4d for agent orange?
    In my area they use these pesticides and after that article I think I am going to talk to the mayor of my city about getting them banned.
    Anyone else think its a good idea to ban this crap?
