  1. my guess on MySQL Mug and Ten Years of MySQL and PHP · · Score: 1

    April, 24th 1995

  2. Re:Question on FireWire for 75% Better Mac mini Disk Performance · · Score: 1

    When you've an HD in an enclosure connected by firewire, Windows XP setup will recognize it as a regular HD and it will give you the possibility to install the OS on this external HD.

  3. Re:Slightly OT: The Netherlands, Holland, Dutch on Lindows Allowed to Use Company Name in Holland · · Score: 1

    To make it a little bit more complex: Dutch is also spoken by the majority of the people in Belgium, but "Dutch" as an adjective refers to The Netherlands. (Dutch flag vs. Belgian flag)

  4. Re:Licensing ... on Flight Simulator 2002 With 13 Monitors And 9 PCs · · Score: 1

    Unless he has a per-screen licensing scheme :-D

  5. slow site on Nimble V5 - The OQO Killer? · · Score: 1

    I guess the site is hosted on one of their V5's... posted 2 minutes ago on slashdot and already slowing down...

  6. Re:my .02 on Managing Bandwidth and Bandwidth Costs? · · Score: 1

    One major issue with Zlib: if your client uses MSIE from behind a proxyserver, they'll get a "save as" dialog box instead of viewing your page... By default, MSIE has HTTP/1.1 disabled when using a proxyserver.

    I know mozilla is much cooler blahblah... but if you want to reach a general audience, you'll have to cope with these thing.

  7. Re:Counter to the spirit of the Internet on Spam Blackhole Lists Redux · · Score: 1

    There are people in this universe who don't know anything about these things: home users.

    They download music, chat, e-mail, edit their digital pictures, ... They also get 5 penis enlargement offers every day and they also want to get rid of these mails.

    You have to face it: Internet became a medium for the masses.

  8. Re:Counter to the spirit of the Internet on Spam Blackhole Lists Redux · · Score: 1

    Not everybody has his own mailserver. What if your ISP is using a blacklist and blocking wrong mails?

  9. Re:okay, time to update on IRC Networks Unite in Fight Against Fizzer Worm · · Score: 1

    AVG AntiVirus is free (ony registration with a valid e-mail address is required) and support up-to-date signatures, scheduled scanning, real-time scanning and e-mail scanning.

  10. Re:There's worse on Microsoft To Acquire Macromedia? · · Score: 1

    I've made some backup copies of my Macromedia Homesite 5, since MX Studio is overkill for simple PHP development and Macromedia won't release anymore new versions of Homesite, it would be terrible to lose my version.

    I think you'll have to do the same with Dreamweaver if it gets bought by MS.

  11. Black Box on Unauditable Voting Machines · · Score: 1

    I think this is an excellent example of Black-Box testing ;-)

  12. Re:LDAP and Novell on Cross-platform Password Management? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The best way to learn the basics of LDAP is to read the IBM Redbook (PDF) about this subject...

  13. Re:Salt Lake City website on Net Still Not At Olympics · · Score: 1

    I know, but I can't understand that a touristic website/guide about Salt Lake City doesn't say anything at all about olympics. A nice example of how web projects fail when they aren't updated once in a while

  14. Salt Lake City website on Net Still Not At Olympics · · Score: 2, Funny

    http://www.saltlakecity.com/ has no information at all about the olympics... It's a shame :(

  15. Re:Uhh.... what's LDAP? on LDAP Tools - Where are they? · · Score: 2, Informative

    RFC 2251:
    Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3)

    This protocol is specifically targeted at management applications and browser applications that provide read/write interactive access to directories.

  16. Some things you can use on LDAP Tools - Where are they? · · Score: 2, Informative

    As a student I'm doing some research on LDAP usability and -programming.

    If you want an all-in-one solution (Server & Gui to populate server), try the iPlanet Directory Server which is kind of free to use (downloadable at netscape.com) and has a really nice interface.

    Another nice (non-free) thing is an LDAP-API for Visual Basic from SnarkSoft which allows you to quickly write applications using data from your LDAP server. I know this isn't really a LDAP-solution, but it allows you to easily develop LDAP applications.

  17. Vapour on ZeoSync Makes Claim of Compression Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    This can be THE chance for Duke Nukem Forever to get rid of the first place in next year's Wired Vapourware list :)

  18. activation on al Qaeda Hacks XP? · · Score: 1

    so they were the ones who implemented the forced activation, I always knew this was a backdoor :)

  19. Re:Cool but... on Uplink · · Score: 1

    as far as I know, the game has a network feature (I saw something like that in the win32 version, but never tested it)

  20. don't think so on Uplink · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If the large game-companies don't care about Quake and UT for linux, why would they even look up for a low-budget small game (which is quite fun in my opinion)?

  21. it just keeps going on on Philips Improves Electronic Paper · · Score: 1

    I've read articles about electronic paper for more than three years and yet I didn't see any of these products appear on the market...
    Is it just all vaporware, publicity for the inventors or does anyone really knows a place where you can buy/use any kind of electronic paper?

  22. is this news? on The Successor To Popunder Ads? · · Score: 1

    as far as i know wired.com is running such an ad for Palm Inc. (however you only have the pagesucking ad about one time of four)
    I remember ZDNet doing about the same about a month ago for Dell computers.

  23. Re:i don't care on BMG Backs Down Over Copy-Protected CD · · Score: 4, Insightful

    My opinion about the piracy-stages in music & movie protection:

    1. some nifty guy cracks the protection
    2. it gets rumour on the net the protection has been cracked
    3. the hardcore crackers start using it
    4. the advanced PC user uses it
    5. some company releases a software package that allows even my grandmother to avoid the protection...

    I think about this because yesterday I saw an advertising for a budget sotwarebox which allows everybody to rip DVD's to DivX and burn it on CD with an easy point&click interface for less than $20... It just remembered me about the early DVD-rip days when you were almost a hero if you could rip a DVD :)
    In the early days of MP3, you had to use non-UF commandline tools to rip a CD, nowadays even Windows has it's own ripping tool :)

    It's only a matter of months before these "ripping4everybody" tools implement the latest protection-bypassers.

    I guess these new protections only help small software companies sell the newest version of their copy-tools...

  24. i don't care on BMG Backs Down Over Copy-Protected CD · · Score: 1

    Whatever copy protection they invent, there will always be a workaround...

    The movie industry has been thinking so long about an "uncrackable" movie format. They really believed it was secure because otherwise they would have never supported it. Only a few months (I guess) after the release, it was already cracked and DVD-rips are floating on the web everywhere...

    If we can crack DVD, why wouldn't we be able to crack this new cd-protection?

  25. Re:IBM 3130's.. on Slashdot Ghost Stories? · · Score: 1

    the fact of being an AS/400 operator would already make me scream :)
