  1. Proofread, damn it! on Dell Founder Dropped $100M Onto Red Hat · · Score: 2, Informative
    Analyists say that "Dell - neither the person nor the company - is interested in acquiring Red Hat"

    Umm... actually that's not what they say. RTFA! Analysts do not see this as a sign that Dell is interested in acquiring RedHat.

    By the way... Analysists? droped? Spellcheck!

  2. Re:If it's stable, it doesn't need to be updatedOf on Debian Leaders: We Need to Release More Often · · Score: 1

    4' 10" and under is the general guideline for membership in the LPA.

  5. they fear the /. effect on The Death Throes of crypt() · · Score: 3, Funny

    Heheh... the paper actually talks about them putting a searchable front-end to the results online but then says they decided not to, in part due to the "dreaded 'slash-dot' effect". Nice.

  6. rechargable ones on Rechargeable Batteries - Yes or No? · · Score: 1
    I saw a recharger at a retail store today and was thinking to myself how much waste it would reduce by using rechargeable ones

    Ahh... if only there was such a thing as rechargeable ones. Remember, "A one that is not cold is scarcely a one at all."

  9. Re:The problem with those reviews... on Two Reviews of Debian 3.0 · · Score: 1
    The inability to do unattended installs, and the lack of a kickstart equivalent, makes Debian suck on servers, IMO.

    The 'autoinstall' package aims to be a kickstart equivalent.

  10. Re:Lets face facts on Two Reviews of Debian 3.0 · · Score: 1
    I know people who are professional admins who dislike Debian's install because it makes it hard for them to do their jobs - no unattended install, no kickstart (a la RedHat) is a pain in the arse for a server farm.

    Look at the 'autoinstall' package -- v1.0 is out in all the usual Debian places. There is a new version coming RSN which updates and improves the process to work pretty darn nicely...

  11. Re:Did you just say, "Over the long term"? on Microsoft's $40 Billion On Hand · · Score: 1

    Well, there's your problem. Since when has the stock market been played for the long term?

  13. Re:Thankfully, "double jeopardy" still governs on Hackers: Uncle Sam Wants You! · · Score: 1

    What's more, the Sixth Amendment's "double jeopardy" clause is still in effect...

    Actually, that would be the 5th amendment.

  14. Did they listen? on How Public Should Public Records Be? · · Score: 1

    Did they update the site? I don't see any addresses or political affiliations listed when I do a search. maybe they listened to the privacy complaints?

  17. Mirror on NSA Releases High Security Version Of Linux · · Score: 3

    Mirror being built Here.

  18. Here's how we do it... on How Do Companies Pay for "On-Call" Support? · · Score: 3

    I work for as a Unix Admin at a large IT company. After hours support (in my area of the company) is maintained on a volunteer basis. The on-call person carries a pager three weeks out of the quarter on average. They are compensated based on the actual number of hours in the month (outside the normal 8-5) that they have to wear it. The extra pay then ranges from 5-15% (based on their normal monthly salary) depending on the amount of time spent. This is whether or not a call comes in.
