  1. Re:Backwards compatibility is hard on 360's Backwards Compatibility Weak? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it have been a lot easier if they had just used a faster x86, faster nvidia, etc?

  2. PERL? on Small but Mighty:The Bricolage Story · · Score: 1

    Ok, so all-caps PERL is a pretty common mistake but what's up with cPAN?

  3. Re:Ogg Vorbis Players on SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional Review at Mad Penguin · · Score: 1

    Well, there is the PhatBox but that probably isn't quite what you wanted.

  4. Ogg Vorbis Players on SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional Review at Mad Penguin · · Score: 1

    Actually there are many portable players that support Ogg Vorbis. Most notably: players from iRiver, the Neuros, and the Rio Karma.

  5. Mmmm..... on Google Moves Into Drink Market · · Score: 1
  6. Fedora is to Redhat as... on Big Gains for Fedora in Web Hosting · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Fedora is not "a natural upgrade of Redhat". It is the free, community developed core that RedHat is based on.

    Fedora is to RedHat as Mozilla is to Netscape ... or OpenOffice is to StarOffice.

    What this tells us, is that there are plenty of people who run web servers and like RedHat but don't want to pay for it.

  7. Re:CPanel, Plesk, Ensim etc. on Big Gains for Fedora in Web Hosting · · Score: 1

    I've heard recommended:

    and

    Virtualmin + Usermin

  8. Re:CGI programs on Randal Schwartz's Perls of Wisdom · · Score: 2, Informative

    PerlDoc.com is (was) nice but perldoc.perldrunks.org actually works!

  9. Re:Not hardware RAID on Comparison of Nine SATA RAID 5 Adapters · · Score: 1

    Only three out of nine are not hardware RAID. And the article does mention which are which and it spends a whole page (page 3) on discussing the differences.

  10. Re:32 pages? Linux ? on Comparison of Nine SATA RAID 5 Adapters · · Score: 1

    All of them support at least RedHat. Some of them are binary only. This is listed on the feature charts:

  11. Re:TRUE raid? on Comparison of Nine SATA RAID 5 Adapters · · Score: 1

    Ok, I lied. Three of them are not hardware RAID.

  12. Re:Comparison of Nine SATA RAID 5 Adapters on Comparison of Nine SATA RAID 5 Adapters · · Score: 1

    OK, I take that back. 2 of the controllers are completely software based and one is 'hardware assisted'. I guess I just ignored those completely when I read it the first time.

    Even still, the article does explain that these three are not true hardware controllers and spends some time explaining what that means.

  13. Re:TRUE raid? on Comparison of Nine SATA RAID 5 Adapters · · Score: 1

    All I care about is if these are 100% raid, unlike a seemingly increasing number of cards.

    Yes they are.

  14. Re:Comparison of Nine SATA RAID 5 Adapters on Comparison of Nine SATA RAID 5 Adapters · · Score: 1

    Except that all the controllers reviewed in this article are true hardware RAID with good linux support. In fact, the article even spends a good deal of time discussing the issue.

    If you want RAID on Linux (SATA or otherwise) you use true hardware RAID if you can afford it or Linux software RAID if you can't. Why bother messing with that fake-RAID crap, even when Linux is supported?

  15. How about LEDs? on How Are You Conserving Energy? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I just found these online: 12 LED fits in bulb socket

    Don't put out a lot of light but might be good for some situations.

  16. Or for Perl... on Part 2 of Ruby on Rails Tutorial Online · · Score: 1

    There is Catalyst

  17. Why is AOL keeping ownership? on Mozilla Foundation Gains Rights to DevEdge Content · · Score: 4, Interesting

    According to Mitchell Baker, AOL will still own the original content. Mozilla is only getting a license to use it.

    This seems strange to me. What could AOL possibly want with it in the future?

  19. Re:i dont get it -- Correction on Netscape 8 to Emphasize Security · · Score: 1

    Netscape release the source in January 1998. AOL bought Netscape in November 1998.

  20. Re:Canon on Printers - Are In-Cartridge Printheads Better? · · Score: 1

    Canon has the worst linux support, though.

  21. Racer? on Linux GPU Performance · · Score: 1

    What is the Racer game they use as one of the benchmarks? At first I assumed they meant TuxRacer but then it describes driving a car, not a penguin.

    Freshmeat gives two other possibilites, neither of which seem quite right.

  22. SIG -- Re:Where Sender ID fits into the picture on MS Releases License For Sender-ID · · Score: 1

    The 18.5 minutes of silence finally explained: Richard Nixon was reading "My Pet Goat".

    Actually, he was listening to Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant"

  23. Re:This weekend at UC Davis on Virginia Tech "Corpse Plant" To Bloom On August 4th · · Score: 1

    A rose is a rose is rose, but nothing says geek love like Amorphophallus titanum...

    Uhm, what? I don't mean to be rude but what exactly is geeky about a big stinky flower? I'm really confused by slashdot's obsession with this thing.

  24. Re:Not yet! It's too soon! on Debian Aims For September Release Date · · Score: 1

    Gimp 2.0? Err... I thought it was in there. I think it was pulled out for dependancy issues. I don't know if it will make it in or not.

    Mozilla 1.6? Check

    OpenOffice 1.1? Check

    It would be nice to get Mozilla 1.7 into sarge, though; it is currently in unstable. None of these packages are in base or standard so I assume that there is still some time for them to get in.

    That last one may be a different flower but what is the deal with slashdot's obsession with large stinky flowers?!?
