  1. What a Birthday Gift :-) on Novell To Release Ximian Connector Under GPL · · Score: 1

    Now, If we can port some of this code to KDE (if their exchange connector isn't as advanced as GNOME's) I can make the pitch to switch my dekstop @ work to Linux :-)

  2. What about freeswan.ca? on FreeS/WAN Project Bows Out · · Score: 1

    I spoke to the maintainer at OLS and he mentioned that some work with the native IPSec was in the works and some other neat functionality (to be merged into 2.6+ eventually [?]) Check out The Other FreeSWAN (fork)

  3. Re:Penguin Blood Fiasco on Novell Quotes AT&T on Derivative Works · · Score: 1

    HAHAHAHA That is cool, that just brightened my loooong day :-)

  4. Re:OSCON eh?.... on OSCON Panel: SCO Lawsuit About the Money · · Score: 1

    Wasn't that NOSCO? ;-)

  5. What about the Linux PCI ID Repository? on The End of the Free PCI Device List (Update) · · Score: 1

    There still is http://pciids.sourceforge.net/

    Which is maintained.

    Unless the two databases were different?

  6. Re:Jay, you're wrong. on Act Now To Sidestep A W3C Patent Pitfall · · Score: 1

    Why don't we just form our own 'standards organizations' and drop this crap then? If Open Source creates NEW standards then others should follow.

  7. Re:Why we require Ident on Why do we still use IDENTD? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I'm not going to run ident just to have the ident server exploited :P

    If an irc network won't let me connect I'll go elsewhere.

  8. Fujitsu Drives on Have Fujitsu Harddrives Been Failing in Record Numbers? · · Score: 1

    I have a FUJITSU MPE3064AT and the thing sounds like a crying baby. It's only two years old. S.M.A.R.T reports one failure so far. Thankfully, it's no longer my primary drive for anything useful ;-)

  9. Re:I'm rebuilding KDE on Red Hat 8.0 For KDE Users (And Newbies) · · Score: 1

    @ Work i'm using KDE 3.1beta2 from sources with stock RedHat 8.0. Remove all the KDE dependencies, keep the RedHat QT libraries.

    Grabbed QT 3.0.5 from trolltech, grabbed KDE 3.1beta2
    tarballs from kde.org compiled using the RedHat compiler/linkers. Set prefix for qt to /usr/local/qt and KDE to /usr/local/kde. This way, I dont break any RPM dependency hell :)

    Now, I'd love to make RPMs for KDE 3.1beta2 but not yet since I don't know .spec files ;/

  10. Re:Cool on XFS merged in Linux 2.5 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Try my patches at http://xfs.sh0n.net/2.4. They merge in XFS with 2.4.20-pre7 (current) and rmap =)

    Shawn.

  11. Second door on Egyptian Pyramid Rover Finds... Another Door · · Score: 1

    You know, what could be behind the second door? a dead wall. Perhaps the ancient Egyptians made a mistake when they made the shaft. Or, perhaps it was done on purpose due to the fact the "Queens chamber" was never used or was supposed to be a dummy. For all I know, this might be the oldest wild goose chase in the word =)

  12. Kernel development on User-Mode Linux Merged Into 2.5 Kernel · · Score: 1

    This will be great for kernel development because know I can test my kernel patches. Expect a new -shawn12 kernel patch soon =). On a side note, now that XFS is going (?) into the 2.5 kernel, I will continue to work on the 2.4 patches until 2.6 comes out. As always, you can find my patches at: http://xfs.sh0n.net/2.4 ShawnX

  13. The smiley on The First Smiley :-) · · Score: 1

    The only problem I have with the smiley is I /abuse it so much :-). The sad thing is when people meet me in RL, they think I'm always happy =)

    Oh well :-)

  14. Re:moving away from binary? on AMD Makes 10-Nanometer Transistor · · Score: 1

    There is, it's called the transcapaciter. I heard about this a few years ago on Art Bells radio program. There might be a patent on it. Basically it was a device that measured 1 and 0 and then the signals inbetween. Neet stuff but I don't know how it could be used. - ShawnX Posted from my blackberry =)

  15. Too Ironic.. on RIAA Sues Backbone ISPs to Censor Website · · Score: 1

    Just traceroute to iraa.org guess who it goes though? UUNET! (Alter.net) =) Pehraps UUNET should just YANK THE FUCKERS OFF THE NET and be done with it!

    mwhahaha

  16. Re:Does it work with sun4u-solaris now? on GCC 3.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Works fine, *DO NOT USE GNU BINUTILS* use the native linker/as/ld etc. Works fine even built MySQL 64bit =)

  17. Re:Another asteroid - 2002 NY40 on What, Me Worry? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and that one is the THIRD closest astroid to come close to us the next ones are in 2027, and 2080.

    0.0035AU! Too close for me.

    This one is due AUGUST 18, 2002

  18. Re:Palladium and the SSSCA (a horror story) ; on Microsoft's 'Palladium' Privacy/DRM Scheme · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, if Microsoft pulls any crap like this *I*'ll be the first to fire a class action lawsuit at the company and sue them for millions of dollars in damages (damages being my right to not run Linux). People have to get up and sue Microsoft more and more and MORE or we'll never see the end of this evil.

  19. Something in the paper today.. on Yet Another "Last Mile" Option · · Score: 1

    Researchers were able to teleport laser light from one area to another :)

    That should certainly help the last-mile issue. According to the researchers, it would create a secure data channel because only properties of the protons/neutrons are sent or something. It was an interesting read. For all you Slashdot nerds in Toronto, you can find it on your local TTC bus ;)

  20. Bios upgrades on Do BIOS Upgrades Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    They can be a Good Thing (tm). I just updated my Dual AMD Asus motherboard and a new bios feature is remote console support though serial ;-)

    Very nice. now I can console in to the box to debug kernels :)

  21. Re:SCO on Love Says Caldera's Doing Fine, Despite Losses · · Score: 1

    SCO Is also a dead dinosaur AFAIK. It should bite the dust as soon as possible ;-)

  22. Re:Cannot ignore Microsoft Re:Pointless Microsoft on Gates: Say No to GPL, Yes to the Microsoft Ecosystem · · Score: 1

    Actually, we need to SUE M$ for this kind of crap and we need to do it in class-action style. We need to get the FSF involved. It's about time we fired back at M$ and let them know we won't give into their garbage. I've thought about starting a class-action lawsuit against M$ myself but they have not affected my abilities to create, modify/contribute (GPL'd) free software. Until they intrude onto my rights to use/develop free software, thats when the lawsuits will fly. I'm sick of this M$ FUD and bill gates. SHUT UP ALREADY!

    Careful gentoo's 2.4.19 is my patch: linux-2.4.19-pre2-ac4-xfs-shawn10a available at: http://xfs.sh0n.net contains: XFS Patches w/ Rmap + AC.

    The problem is, I broke quota hard and I should have -shawn11 out for gentoo tonight or so. AC Quota / XFS quota really take a beating ;) You can find me on IRC on openprojects.net in #Kernelnewbies, #gentoo and other channels I'm ShawnXFS ;)

  25. Re:Microsoft is no more rabid than Alan Cox on Microsoft Tech Specs Prohibit GPL Implementations · · Score: 1

    Excuse me, reguardless if its MODULE_LICENSE_GPL. It's still designed to prevent binary drivers from polluting the kernel.
