  2. Re:Unjustified paranoia, +5 stoopid on DRM Tinkering with Intel's PXA270? · · Score: 1

    You shouldn't flame. However, you made a slighty insightful comment. The internet has been build from networks that were "interconnected". When the inconvience happens that your parent speaks of, we can restart that process and build our own (wireless?) networks. We most probably won't have to move physically.

  3. Re:No to GPL on PHP Not Moving To The GPL · · Score: 1

    Recently, i've bought a WRT54G. The source code of the machine has been 'forced' Free (think what you like). This isn't possible with BSD* code, isn't it?

  4. Re:2 x A4 = A3 on The Logic Behind Metric Paper Sizes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Metric? Why is this called metric paper? Because we say it's 210mm × 297mm? These numbers are clearly rounded.

    Please enlighten me.

  5. Microsoft won't learn... on Microsoft Announces XNA Game Development Platform · · Score: 1

    I suspect they may not sell their product in Europe...

    The software is a bundle of different game-engine parts. Why would you buy an engine part from a competitor, when you already bought it (or maybe received it for free by you xbox dev kit?) from Microsoft?

    Wow... That's an impressive list.

    It's a pity the METABOOK link does't work :( I couldn't find it on CPAN either.

    So, does anyone know another link?

  9. Re:What outage? on More Info on the October 2002 DNS Attacks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I assume most people don't look up or down if a website isn't reachable for only an hour. Or even a day. Such short DNS outages are therefore probably not noticed.

    Long outages would change the whole thing. Imagine that we could't read slashdot for a whole week!

  10. Re:Free for Home Use on Licensing Software to Individual vs. Corporation? · · Score: 1

    If you use the same program at home as you use at work, and this would provide an added value for your employer, why wouldn't your employer sponsor you a copy?

  12. Ehm, video in Half-Life/counterstrike? on Improv Animation as an Art Form? · · Score: 1

    I don't exactly know that the poster ment with her question, but isn't the film made with counter strike an example of her idea?

    I think that film has prerecorded stuff in it, but you could make one with life action characters.

    Somebody must have a link ;)

  13. Dongle? Huh? on Game Developers Cracking Down on Cheating · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And what about cracking the dongle? Like that hasn't happened before? Just store the maps on your computer.

    You can't stop someone with tampering software on his own (or her own) computer.

    Just, basically, dongles suck.

  15. Re:Here's how on IPTables and Port Forwarding? · · Score: 1

    Of course, most of the time you'll have the default policy for FORWARD on DROP, or something. And you'll have SNAT from the inside ACCEPT(ed).

    Now, you have to add a FORWARD ACCEPT statement (in the default table) like this:
    iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp -d 192.168.1.2 --dport 21 -j ACCEPT

    Another thing, is that for ftp traffic to work, you'll need an state of RELATED to be entered somewhere.

  16. Re:Well, the reply-to argument is at rest... on New Mail RFCs Released · · Score: 1

    ESC really sucks in IE

    There is some discussion going about 'Reply-To munging'.

    I found this in the Mailman "general/reply_goes_to_list" details help:

    There are many reasons not to introduce or override the Reply-To: header. One is that some posters depend on their own Reply-To: settings to convey their valid return address. Another is that modifying Reply-To: makes it much more difficult to send private replies. See `Reply-To' Munging Considered Harmful for a general discussion of this issue. See Reply-To Munging Considered Useful for a dissenting opinion.

    I prefer _not_ to set the Reply-To header.

  17. Re:But Microsoft will decide to invent their own.. on New Mail RFCs Released · · Score: 1

    Quoting RFC2821 (Section 2.3.1):

    the body, if structured, is defined according to MIME [12]. The content is textual in nature, expressed using the US-ASCII repertoire [1].

    and section 3.3:

    SMTP systems SHOULD NOT reject messages based on perceived defects in the RFC 822 or MIME [12] message header or message body.

    Thus, if Hotmail only sends HTML-formatted email, _your_ SMTP system NEEDS TO ;) accept it. I think it's up to the MUA to bug the user with it.

    I used IE for this. I was expecting vi and Window Maker. IE sucks. (Note ESC)

  18. I have something different. Was:Right... on Does P = NP? · · Score: 1

    Ok, we prove that 0.999... (with an infinit number of nines) equals 1.

    10 x 0.999... = 9.999...
    1 x 0.999... = 0.999...

    Substracting these two equations, we find that
    9 x 0.999... = 9.
    Dividing this equation by 9, we obtain
    0.999... = 1. QED

  22. Re:show me the numbers on MySQL Developer Contests PostgreSQL Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    A quote from the article:
    "One thing that also is interesting is that they don't mention which PostgreSQL version they are using. It's very unlikely that they did actually test PostgreSQL 7.0 as this has at least one very fatal bug in the index handling which made it useless for benchmarks (at least when we did a test run on it)."

    That is probably why.
