  1. Leave the naming to your other half on Server Naming Conventions? · · Score: 1

    Serious!

    My girlfriend is always wondering what i'm doing at work, i sometimes tries to explain it to her (i'm a unix sysadm), but she gets that weird look when i say compile, debug and alike :)

    To give her the impression, that it's understandable to her, whenever i install a new server, i call her up and ask her to name it...

    And theres the added bonus, that whenever you ssh into one of your servers, you will be reminded og her long-ago dead puppy... heh

  2. Clear pointers on Bug in zlib Affects Many Linux Programs · · Score: 1

    Quick fix:

    #define free(p) "free(p); p=NULL"

  3. Finally on Linux Breaks 100 Petabyte Ceiling · · Score: 1

    Oh thank god!

    I was afriad that my ever-expanding-highly-illegal-eleet mp3 collection would soon be bigger than linux could handle!

    This should do it - for a while!

  4. Just what i need! on Embedding Chips Into Paper Money · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that i can finally just traceroute my money to see where the hell they went?

  5. Linux knows :) on Interplanetary Internet (IPN) · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of some old fortune snippet:

    /*
    * [...] Note that 120 sec is defined in the protocol as the maximum
    * possible RTT. I guess we'll have to use something other than TCP
    * to talk to the University of Mars.
    * PAWS allows us longer timeouts and large windows, so once implemented
    * ftp to mars will work nicely.
    */

    -- from /usr/src/linux/net/inet/tcp.c, concerning RTT [round trip time]
