  1. There's no problem here... on Netscape 6 is Spyware? · · Score: 1

    It makes sense to send searches through a netscape.com redirector. Suppose they sent search requests directly to google.com, and 6 months from now google.com disappeared. That leaves all of the people using their browsers with a broken search function.

    This just lets them choose a different search engine in the event that their current search engine disappears off the face of the planet, or they device to switch to a newer, better search engine.

    Nothing to see here people, move along...

  2. New Brunswick, Canada has had this for a while on Iowa ISP Providing Digital Cable Over Twisted Pair · · Score: 1, Informative
    NBTel has offered this service (called VibeVision) with their DSL service for quite some time now.

    Please see the following sites for more information:
    NBTel VibeVision
    iMagic TV, the company that developed the technology to do this

  3. Re: Intel is putting HUGE resources into Linux on Ximian to Change License for Mono · · Score: 2, Informative

    NetBSD runs on the Hammer already.

    See the NetBSD/x86_64 port page.

  4. I have three questions on Ask New 2.4 Maintainer Marcelo Tosatti Anything · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    1. What is your name?
    2. What is your quest?
    3. What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

  5. Re:Unfortunately... on PCMCIA Audio Support In NetBSD · · Score: 3, Informative

    The CAC Bullet II driver hasn't been updated for any kernel version over 2.0.x (according to Mobilix.org), and was never shipped with the official kernel.

  6. It's not dead... on Will 802.11 Kill Bluetooth? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's not dead, it's pining... for the fjords...

  7. Re:Mandrake is cool, but surely Debian is better. on Mandrake 8.1 Beta1 (Raklet) Released · · Score: 1

    but some of it may be released under the highly restrictive BSD license

    Please explain to me how a license that allows you to do more things with the code can be "highly restrictive" in comparison with the GPL. Thanks.

  8. Re:Move to Canada on Broadband Crackdown · · Score: 1

    Ditto for NBTel.. although with all of the crap going on here lately, I wouldn't be suprised if they followed suit. And the only other option (that isn't even an option yet) is Rogers@Home, and I doubt that would be much better.

  9. Misleading Topic on At My House We Call Them "Uh-Oh's" · · Score: 4

    For a second I was sure that this article was about ICQ...

  10. Re:MIPS on Debian Freeze Process Begins · · Score: 1

    NetBSD runs on the SGI Indy as of 20010511.

    Please see http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/sgimips/ for more information.

  11. Oops... on The Psychology of Passwords · · Score: 5

    I think someone discovered the password to my other account, 'Anonymous Coward'. People keep using it to post annoying messages under every article.

  12. Re:The OS on sourceforge.net on SourceForge Server Compromised · · Score: 1

    Apache does in fact run on Novell Netware...

  13. Re:Shooting games = good clean fun on Slashback: Apple, Lawyers, Backbones · · Score: 1

    Anyway it's better to shoot criminals and terrorists than those poor helpless ducks!

    I always wanted to shoot that damn dog for laughing at me.

  14. This is an old idea on 3D w/o Goggles · · Score: 1

    It's called shrooms, and it's much more realistic than a simply layered LCD.

  15. Other sound support on Writing Kernel Drivers · · Score: 2

    What I would really like to see is PCMCIA sound support -- no free OS so far has supported them, and unfortunately it's the only option I have for sound on my laptop.

  16. Re:Rediculi on MS Wants To Know Whose PC Is Windows-Free · · Score: 1

    How would they call you if your phone service wasn't hooked up yet?

  17. Deja-Vu on RGBS: Color Spaces For The New Millenium · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or did I see this here last year?

  18. Re: XP on Preview Of Linux 2.5 · · Score: 1

    If XP gave me head, I would gladly go out and buy another computer to put it on.

  19. Re:BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT on XBox Screenshot Flim-Flammery? · · Score: 1

    FreeBSD doesn't run on the Dreamcast, but NetBSD does...

  21. New .WAV for next AOL release on AOL Germany Found Guilty of Piracy · · Score: 4

    "You've got lawsuit!"

  22. Re:I like the last idea... on CDDB No Longer Allows Grip Users to Connect UPDATED · · Score: 1

    This won't work -- if the ISP blocks Napster, the client can bounce their connection from somewhere else that isn't blocked, not too hard...

  23. Re:/.-ted on The Largest Unpiloted Legged Robot Yet · · Score: 1

    Looks like they wasted all of their 700MHz processors in the legs and had to settle for a 25MHz Math Co-Processor lacking i80486.

  24. Clock ticking? on Clock Ticking For Australian PlayStation Chippers · · Score: 2

    Looks like somebody set them up the bomb.

  25. No plot on Narrative, Plot And Aimlessness In Game Design · · Score: 1

    Sounds to me like video games are turning into porn... hell I'm willing to bet that Debbie Does Dallas 2000 has a better plot than some of the new games that have come out.
