  1. Re:Has anyone attempted to port X to AtheOS? on Ask AtheOS Creator Kurt Skauen About His Creature · · Score: 1


    I know AtheOS has its own GUI, but I imagine that have X on board would make porting most Unix apps easier


    Why would one do this, we have Linux and BSD to run X Apps very well.
    I like the attempt of AtheOS, where "one" Person controls the direction where the gui is going. This probably keeps the Userinterface more consitent that X is.

    Dont get me wrong, X is fine, but quite oversized and to "flexible" for the masses...

  2. Re:I want one for low heat on Reviews Of AMD Duron 'Morgan' 1GHz · · Score: 1


    his new Duron dissipates 41 Watts typical, 46 Watts maximum; a 1.4 GHz Thunderbird dissipates 65 Watts typical, 72 Watts maximum, or about 60% more heat. (Numbers from the AMD web site.)


    Well, 46W is still plenty much heat to suck out of your box. If you really care about noise, you'd better go you, buy some cheap VIA C3 (Aka. Samuel 2, with L2 Cache Onchip) and build yourself a fanless X Client to connect to your Dual Athlon 1.4 GHz hidden in the Basement (where no one is annoyed of the noise such a Bastard generates).

    Would be good enough for most jobs, except games. But to be honest, have you ever heard of a hardcore gamer who cares about noise?

  4. Re:Wireframe on Final Fantasy At 2.5FPS · · Score: 1

    Why don't they just render it in wireframe and get 100fps? With hidden line removal it would still be entirely watchable.

    It should run a descent speed if they remove some polygons or render without textures (just shaded...), dropping down to wireframe should'nt be necessary ...

  6. Re:68000 IBM PC on 20th Anniversary Of The PC · · Score: 1

    Heh. PCs would run on G4s & AMD Athlons, and Macs on Pentium 4s.

    I think PC would run on 68090's or something like that, if they never had the guts to change their cpu architecture when using Intel CPUs, why should they have done it in case they chose the 68k line.

    PPC's would'nt have come to existence either.

  7. Old ADS on 20th Anniversary Of The PC · · Score: 1

    Good old times, where a Z80 was all you needed to fix that damned IBM ;-)

  8. Re:Script doesn't work anyways on Code Red: the Aftermath · · Score: 1

    Works in what way? If you mean it sends the HTTP request, then yeah, that probably does work. But it's not gonna shut down IIS.

    It's like GC said in another thread here: It depends on the specific setup of the infected machine. There is no common way to shutdown it. Bothering the admin with mails seems to be the only way. But those forgotten machines burried behined walls will annoy us forever..

  9. Re:If you've had a corporate hit on your network.. on Code Red: the Aftermath · · Score: 1
    Those machines have probably been patched since infection, but have not been cleaned. The patch does not dis-infect Code Red from the machine, a lot of web admins don't realise this

    So it probably would be a good idea for anyone to send every host that comes in searching for default.ida at least one reboot command to make sure that patched machines dont bother us again.
    The root.exe left in their scripts directory would be their own problem.

    on the other hand, we could just broadcast the ip's to serval irc channels, and then look how long the keep up ;-)

    Then there is a nice little Vulnerable Server Scanner Provided by the people at www.eeye.com.

    Did you ever check some infected machines that hit you log's with this tool? I tried and lots of them where found as "unvulnerable". So better don't trust it to much ...
