  1. Also have this in The Netherlands on TV Over Phone Lines To Arrive In 2005 · · Score: 1

    Linky (dutch site, sorry..):

    http://www.dekabelkaneruit.nl/

  2. Gives a whol other meaning to.. on Automakers Working on Car-to-Car Ad-Hoc Networks · · Score: 1

    .."Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon (full of tapes) hurtling down the highway"

  3. Re:I wonder if they include a disclamer... on Walmart Offers Sub-$500 laptop With Linspire · · Score: 1

    I didn't know what it was, so Googled for it. It is produced by the "Digital Lifestyles Group", apparently the same who also made the more-or-less famous I-Opener

    Als see: http://www.hip-e.com/

  4. Re:coLinux on XLiveCD: Cygwin and X For Windows On A Live CD · · Score: 1

    Well, I cannot find any evidence that Windows (NT derivatives) needs to be rebooted when installing the TAP-Win32 driver. For example see this guide on the coLinux wiki:

    http://www.colinux.org/wiki/index.php/StepByStep In XP

  5. coLinux on XLiveCD: Cygwin and X For Windows On A Live CD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Do they also include coLinux on the CD? Being able to run Linux from a LiveCD directly onder windows would be a really nice feature me thinks.

  6. Re:find/grep/index wtf? on Yahoo! Releases Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yes, the same one.

    I like diving into upfront-obvious little flamewars now and then. An old habbit of mine.

  7. Re:find/grep/index wtf? on Yahoo! Releases Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I beg you pardon, but you do sound like a troll now. And.. KFG posts a +3 comment about once a day.

    Your latest comments seem rather firefull.

  8. Spybot S&D.. on Failing Grades For Most Anti-Spyware Tools · · Score: 1

    Spybot Search & Destroy is more preventive, as far as I know Ad-Aware doesn't do preventive measures like blocking (kill bit) of known bad ActiveX controls.

  9. Re:Just tried the beta of the new MSN Search on Google Index Doubles · · Score: 1

    They are already using a frontend served by Akamai, which runs Linux.

  10. Finally... on Microsoft Bringing TV to Xbox · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...a use for all those XBOXes running MythTV frontends ;-)

  11. Eh? on The Conference Bike · · Score: 1

    Odd how the video doesn't show anyone wearing a helmet

    May I know how a helmet may help? Do you expect falling off the bike? Or do you expect his bike to fall over or something? You should remember that in Holland the terrain is rather flat.

    I really don't get all these negative responses here, but maybe I'm missing something obvious.

  12. Re:Now that's interesting on Censoring The Net With A Hotmail Account · · Score: 1

    It's worse. iFast doesn't have a user privacy policy

    Hmm, I can't seem to find it either on the site.

  13. What about.. on Space Tourism is Off and Running · · Score: 1

    What about going just a little further than the lowish altitude they reach now?

  14. Re:That's cool and stuff, but on IETF Publishes Jabber/XMPP RFCs · · Score: 1

    Please call it what it is then. It's a message passing protocol.

    It could be (and is) used in about anything that needs to flip messages over to something else without thinking about how (addressable IP numbers, ports, etc.) and where (mobile systems, systems behind a firewall).

  15. Re:DOS it now? on First JPEG Virus Posted To Usenet · · Score: 1

    I'm currently getting a 'Login incorrect':
    bash-2.05b$ wget ftp://bawz:pagdba@209.171.43.27/www/system/*
    --23 :01:42-- ftp://bawz:*password*@209.171.43.27/www/system/*
    => `.listing'
    Connecting to 209.171.43.27:21... connected.
    Logging in as bawz ...
    Login incorrect.


    So apparently they are cleaning things up on the server side.

  16. Re:Krita Fun Facts on Krita/KOffice Preview Version and Video Available · · Score: 0

    A smartass reply would be to point at the fact that the K in KDE stands for nothing but K (as in 'K Desktop Environment').

  17. Re:Can we.. on NASA Releases World Viewer · · Score: 1

    Hint to NASA people, you could have refered everyone coming from slashdot to that URL. Coral will do a good job caching your -mostly static- site.

    Can't do much about that but here's an edonkey / emule link:

    But who cares? ;-)

  21. Re:XP only ? on Microsoft To Provide IE Patches for Windows XP Only · · Score: 1

    And I see people use if about every day. Don't ask we why, but people actually still use IE/Solaris 5.

  22. Re:Installing on Windows....you're kidding, right? on SpamAssassin 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    All of these things are pretty much automated on any modern operating system. Only Microsoft Windows doesn't include a decent (de)centralized package management.

    This is more of an overall problem, than a problem with SpamAssassin in particular. I think every widely used operating system has it is strength and weaknesses, but ease of installation is not always microsoft windows strength.

    They (microsoft) should really do something about the ability to easily create and maintain packages and package repositories.

  23. Re:Stop letting goof ideas on Database File System · · Score: 1

    All that info is already in the filesystem.

    Problem is finding it quickly. An indexed database solves that. Though of course you could implement it directly in the filesystem.

    But doing it in userspace is easier since you already have the filesystem as foundation to write on, and upgrading your kernel because some fileformat changes doesn't seem ideal to me. Remember you want it to know what you wrote, so it needs to be able to look into your documents.

  24. Re:"Implementing in GNOME" on Database File System · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, not in kernel. It should be done as a deamon, like he did.

  25. Yes, this is stupid on Ballmer on Linux · · Score: 1

    To me XML is like interpunction, the commas, dots and quotes. When you use it your writing, it might become more clear. But if you use other words, grammar or an entier different language, people still don't understand you.

    Yes it is great if everyone writes a little bit more understandable but it is not going to 'solve Babylon'.
