  1. why won't this work for me :( on ClusterKnoppix · · Score: 1

    why is it I can go out to the bittorrent main site and click the link for RedHat 9, and the bittorrent prompt comes right up...but when I try to click on this clusterknoppix bittorrent link, mozilla tries to display it to screen? Can anyone help?

  2. free download? on Libranet 2.8 Released · · Score: 1

    I can't find a way to download libranet at all (either iso or separate packages). They require you to pay to download anything...

    thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick with Red Hat.

  3. By the way, thanks! on Using the DMCA Against License Violations? · · Score: 1

    Ben,
    Btw, thank you so much for making these wonderful book freely available! I've been searching for a resource like this for quite some time...

    I can just imagine the look on their faces...

    "Wait a minute...this guy was the Chief of Security for who?!?"

  5. From the page "Note:This is an April Fool's joke." on Gentoo Linux Rethinks Package Management System · · Score: 1

    Apparently they don't have a lot of faith in their users' sense of humor and ability to figure things out for themselves... ;-)

  6. Nor in PHP.... Re:implemented in Perl? on Object Prevalence: Get Rid of Your Database? · · Score: 1

    No files released (and none in CVS) for the PHP project either.

  9. For all those who complained about the graphics... on Snowboarding Soul Ride Engine Goes GPL · · Score: 1

    Try reading the docs.

    Running it under 32-bit gfx makes it look much better (on Linux).

    From the readme-linux.txt

    * OGLModeIndex -- these are the options:
    0: 320, 240, 16
    1: 640, 480, 16
    2: 800, 600, 16
    3: 1024, 768, 16
    4: 1280, 1024, 16
    5: 320, 240, 32
    6: 640, 480, 32
    7: 800, 600, 32
    8: 1024, 768, 32
    9: 1280, 1024, 32

    So, running it as:

    #!/bin/sh ./soulride DefaultMountain=Jay_Peak Fullscreen=0 OGLModeIndex=9

    worked wonders for me. Hey, it's not perfect, but it's another free diversion doing anything really productive!

  10. way to kill online commerce on California Considering More Internet Taxes · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Yes....let's tax an already struggling marketplace in its relative infancy. Makes a lot of sense. That should do away with it pretty quickly.

    One of the main reasons non-techie folks are tempted to shop online is the lack of taxes. If this move was inevitable, I'd have preferred to see it years down the line, when e-commerce had matured somewhat.

    And a tax on internet access is ridiculous...downloads, just plain silly.

    Oh well...if that happens, I'm off to the underground....feeling perfectly justified in stealing tax-free access >:/
