  1. gov't and private network on GOVNET In the Works · · Score: 1

    So its ok for companies to use a private leased line network, but its not ok for the government? Civilians will never know if the .mil network is already capable of supporting this. A question to ask is, is this for military purposes or not. if it is, use .mil, if not ask why we need it, since in my opinion the gov't ought not to be doing much else with this.

  2. wireless net benefits on Slashback: Safety, Transmissions, Breakage · · Score: 1

    So, now we see one of the benefits of net access that does not require a wire to the customers site..

  5. Re:I COULD NOT BE MORE OPPOSED TO A NATIONAL ID CA on Ellison Wants National ID Card, Powered By Oracle · · Score: 1

    so haw are you equating this card to either freedom or liberty??

  6. musicians on Music Industry Forcing WMA standard? · · Score: 1

    So are we not supporting the rights of musicians to make a living. It seems the issue here to me is the high sales cost when they can be made for a dollar or less each. Most of that money is going to the label. Musicians need to make a living too.

  7. Take a stand, run ad blocking software on Salon Goes For Annoying Jump-Through Ads · · Score: 1

    Nothing talks like $, or lack thereof.

  8. Just proves bsd superiority on IP Theft in the Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    I'd prefer it if the US didnt become borderline Socialist like many western European nations..

  10. Re:Enough with the "Big Brother" rhetoric.. Jesus. on Ellison Wants National ID Card, Powered By Oracle · · Score: 1

    Last I checked credit card numbers are not had by everyboday and are not used for foolproof id. Also, I do not thinh u need to show a social security number to get on a plane. DOB as an id, way too many people share those for it to be a useful ID.

  11. I COULD NOT BE MORE OPPOSED TO A NATIONAL ID CARD on Ellison Wants National ID Card, Powered By Oracle · · Score: 1

    Subject says it all, big Brother is high on my list of enemies. We must be able to maintain liberty without giving up this much freedom.

  12. wonder if this'll get bsd more attention on FreeBSD Ports for GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    As a longtime bsd user, I am glad to see the os get a little attention this way. The dependency system is quite nice and easy.

  13. multiple worms of similar type would be impossible on Is the Unix Community Worried About Worms? · · Score: 1

    Given the open source community's focus on fixing discovered problems, quality, and the like, I am really not worried about worms/virii. Hacks/attacks of services, those I sweat a little more..

  14. love the fantasy football ad at the top on Star Wars Episode I DVD Review · · Score: 1

    it seems a little demographic research is lacking at this site??

    As stated previously look there...

  16. planning on Wanted: Turn-Key 10-Node Beowulf Cluster · · Score: 1

    So it would appear that out of nowhere a multithreaded application appeared that needed this kind of horsepower??

  17. get a cd from www.cheapbytes.com on FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE Is Ready · · Score: 1

  18. Re:Size and the dial up dilemna on FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE Is Ready · · Score: 1

  21. 4.4 ghz marketing soundin phrase on 2.2 GHz Xeon · · Score: 2

    adding the speeds to get 4.4 ghz, cmon u sound like Cisco when they talk about 2 100bt lines in a vlan as a 400 meg connection..

  22. job well done on Handling the Loads · · Score: 1

    Looks like a fantastic job of spotting and reacting to problems as they appeared..
