  1. Ultima Online Charter Edition on Richard Garriott On Tabula Rasa · · Score: 1

    Another MMO from Garriott -- I can hardly wait! I was an early beta user of Ultima Online, and a junkie of the game for 2 years after it's retail release. I was so excited about the game, that when it went retail I bought TWO copies of the special Charter Edition ... I kept one shrink-wrapped and in the original shipped packaging. It went into my basement which I just cleared out this past weekend. This story has prompted me to pass it on.

    You can get this copy of the Ultima Online Charter Edition!

  2. Brilliant! on Updated Slashdot Advertising Policy · · Score: 1

    This is an extremely clever way to test the waters!
    Post your unpopular scheme on April 1st, and see
    just how unpopular it is. If the backlash is too
    great, just claim it is an April Fool's Day joke.

  3. Re:2.4.x on Linux Firmware For Some 802.11b Access Points · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Screw WEP anyway. You don't need anything special on the access point for IPsec: just configure your mobile units to use IPsec, and tunnel through some other host or use transport mode.

  4. His `new club'? on Diskless Linux Kiosks · · Score: 1

    The DNA Lounge has been around for at least
    ten years. It is only new to JWZ.

    And why is this a news story? Because it
    has the word ``Linux'' in it?

  5. Of course it is a misnomer! on 3D Videoconferencing Over Internet2 · · Score: 1

    Abridged from the OED:

    From the Greek tele- "afar or far off" and
    Latin transportare "to carry across". First
    found in the form "teleportation" in _Lo!_
    by C. Fort in 1931.

  6. Old news on Genetically Engineered "Smart" Mice · · Score: 1

    This is very old news. It was reported in Scientific American several months ago (and
    was `old news' at that time).

    Please, can you editors try to stay current
    if you are going to try to lend some respectability to this site by posting science
    stories?

  7. Re:Why are packets from reserved addrs geting thru on The Slashdot DDoS: What Happened? · · Score: 1

    No, it doesn't. Path MTU discovery is
    unaffected when such addresses are used
    judiciously for inner nodes of the network.
