  1. Re:MRTG on Sites Shut Down to Protest Software Patents · · Score: 1

    I needed the site yesterday too.
    There was no need to search for a mirror. They had a link to the rest of the web site in the paragraph.
    They are back to normal today though.

  2. Re:C'mon SCO! on SCO Announces Final Termination of IBM's Licence · · Score: 1

    what about the 2.3.xx kernels? If 2.4.0 is bad, how about the last 2.3.xx?

    It sounds like they are throwing a wide blanket over all the current linux versions. :wq

  3. Re:the most important question on Ask the 'Geek Candidate' for California Governor · · Score: 1

    Looks like thongs.

  4. Re:Amazon has it almost 15% cheaper on Solaris 9 For Dummies · · Score: 1

    And Books a Million is between these (amazon and bookpool) prices.

  5. Re:LVM and Redhat 7.3 on Linux LVM - Is It Ready for Prime Time? · · Score: 1

    That is the same setup I have on my work bench now except the drive are the 146Gb instead of the 73Gb. It will be a nice upgrade from the old multipacks the department is using now.

    About a year and a half ago we setup a 6450 with fiberchannel and lvm. It is still running good.

  6. Re:What about virtual caching? on Geocaching Crackdown? · · Score: 1

    Yep just like the first one I found.

    There was the one that was buried in the middle of a national forrest. It was a good idea since there was all of the fires that year.

    Here Here!

    I am from Florida and am now in Houston. These people drive worse and any old person in an RV

  8. Re:seals considered harmful on Wing Seals Blamed in Columbia's Demise · · Score: 1

    Yep that is true. At least we do not have to lift the rods any more to attach the motors to them.

    I watched TRF replace the seals on time. It was bad enough replacing them on a 1/2" pump shaft. It looked like hell for a shaft large enough to walk on as it spins.

    :wq

  9. Re:seals considered harmful on Wing Seals Blamed in Columbia's Demise · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A really amazing story. The last time I was on a nuclar boat was in '94. The reactor was in the reactor compartment. It made steam that left the RC in big pipe and turned the tubins in the engin room.
    The shaft going out the back of the boat did not use a magnetic seal of any kind but use a mechnical seal.

    Rickover was nothing but consertive in a lot of the designs.

    Maybe you should look at a Jane's Fighting Ships instead of a Jane's Comic Book. :wq

  10. Re:Silly Putty on Favor Ideas for a Geeky Wedding? · · Score: 1

    I acutally used this at my wedding last October. Purple was the color (lilac?), divided 2 pounds between 50 people and put it in a plastic hear case.

    Some people went "What is this?" others went "This is cool!"

  11. Re:Great for demonstrations on Klaus Knopper, Creator of Knoppix Talks to DistroWatch · · Score: 1

    You could try some to use one of the other small and fast desktops. WindowMaker is available (desktop=wmaker) and ICWM (desktop=icwm) is too. Just dont do TWM (desktop=twm) unless you want to show them 'how it used to be'

  12. Re:A variation on the idea on Booting Knoppix from USB 2.0 Pendrives? · · Score: 3, Informative

    if you are using the KDE desktop:
    KNOPPIX-> Configure-> Save KNOPPIX configuration

    The KNOPPIX site has more information on how to save and reload a configuration file from a floppy.

  13. Let's party!! on Leonid Meteor Shower 2002 · · Score: 1

    This does not happen often. Let's have big street parties, wear funny hats and have a great time. Of course the next day may be a little rough.

  14. Use a good development model.... on Motivating Your Co-Developers? · · Score: 1

    The one that worked for me in small groups was an antagonistic anarchistic model, better code produced through taunting and humiliation. If you give your partners a hard time and tell them their code sucks, they will ether make better code or move out of the way.

  15. Re:only 500 images? on Suddenly a JPEG Patent and Licensing Fee · · Score: 1

    Don't forget to include the dir to start from in the find command.

    rm `find . -type f -not -name "*.jpg" -not -name "*.JPG"`
    ^^^^^

  16. Will the real qtconsole step forward..... on Qt For The Console · · Score: 1

    I have not recompiled the app since Qt 2.something
    but I use it on my desktop all the time.

    Ok, a little self-promotion but I find the app of some use.
