  1. Correct Name on FTP Is 40 Years Old · · Score: 1

    The correct name is Abhay Bhushan (not Bushan).

  2. broken bits... on Fedora Core 2: Making it Work · · Score: 1

    Watch out - I got burned by FC 2. The 'ant' (java equivalent to Make) is broken in FC 2. And the named install (BIND) has all the config files moved from where it is in RH. I have no idea what other things might be different so tread carefully.

  3. sewer lines too on Ethernet Via Electric Conduits · · Score: 3, Informative

    Reminds me of another project where they installed fiber optic cable through sewer lines so they didn't have to tear up the streets. They are at City Net. I wonder what is next? Power through my cable tv line?

  4. Re:Bioterrorism and Chemical Warfare on US Looks At Bioterrorism · · Score: 1

    UPS doesn't ship hazardous material anymore. I guess you'll have to us FedEx instead.

  5. Re:interesting on US Looks At Bioterrorism · · Score: 1

    Do they still vacinate people for smallpox? I thought they stopped in the 80s.

  6. reads like a Tom Clancy novel... on US Looks At Bioterrorism · · Score: 1

    Anyone think that the article reads like the plot to a Tom Clancy novel? Or maybe something from Stephen King? Guess we need something new to panic about now that Y2K has come and gone...

  7. no ads! on Google To Gain a Rival? · · Score: 3

    This is interesting - they have no ads on their pages. How do they expect to make money (and stay in business)? Not that I am complaining - I like the clean interface of google and teoma.

  8. conspiracy to keep the dollars flowing? on The Viking Landers, 25 Years Later · · Score: 1

    Everytime I read another one of these "Life on Mars" articles I wonder if it isn't a NASA conspiracy to keep the public interested in space exploration and thus keep the dollars flowing (from Congress). Seems that everytime I turn around there is there is some new controversal space story (i.e. space tourists, life on mars etc etc).

  9. how about providing a mail relay service? on Verizon Email Restrictions · · Score: 1
    I wonder if this opens a business opportunity?

    Hack up sendmail to check a database of allowed FROM and IP addresses for Verizon customers who are blocked. This should prevent the spam and still allow legitimate email.

    I wonder if anyone would be interested in that - or if they will simply jump ship to another ISP. Or maybe provide this patch to Verizon?

  10. what was the seed? on Predict Worm Headlines, Win a T-shirt · · Score: 1
    Anyone know what the seed that they used to pick the "random" IP addresses the worm hit? My system has been hit 23 times in the last 24 hours.

    I'd love to find the seed and lookup the list of IP addresses. Then setup a server on one of those addresses and get a good count of the infected machine!

  11. done it - 16 drives in 4u - 1.28TB - $6k on Terabyte File Server for $5,000 · · Score: 1
    Been there - done it in 4 rack units (16 drives)... I work with streaming media so it's not unusual.
    The case we used Q416
    1. Dual Processor P3
    2. 16 80GB IDE
    3. 3Ware IDE Raid Controller (2 of the 7800s)
    4. 4 rack unit case

    You can configure the whole thing at QSOL.com
    Next I want to do a Quad Xeon with 16GB of RAM. Throw on VMWare (how about 32 1/2GB virtual machines?) and that many drives and you'll have a very nice machine (I figure less than 700 per virtual machine).
