  1. Just get a better car on License to Surf · · Score: 1

    Just get a big tank/truck and you will be safe, or turn that little Geo you must drive into a A-team car (armer, steal plates, etc...). Its all good :)

    Speed limits? I dont think we have such a thing here in CT-USA. heh, i normaly have have my CC set to something like 80MPH or 85MPH and dont give a second thought about the cops. You only see them pull over the 16 year old kids in their new BMW's who must have been doing about 110MPH.

  2. ID has done this be4 on Another Software Spy · · Score: 1

    They left a back door in the older versions of the Linux quake server software....oops! I thought they learned with that fuckup but i guess not.

    I would have no problem with sending my vid card info back to them, as long as they asked 1st.

    I would try it...even tho im not 100% sure what a talker is :)

  4. Pirates Cove=Gay bar on Are BBS-Like Communities Dead? · · Score: 1

    There is a gay bar named The Pirates Cove in my city...dont think ill log on to a BBS named after it

  5. Why is this on slashdot? on redhat.com Redone · · Score: 1

    How come we never see storys about how when zdnet,freebsd.org,slackware.org,linuxtoday,the register, osonline, my website, insert_any_geek_ site_here, etc... get updates?

  6. most use 800x600 on redhat.com Redone · · Score: 1

    Most people still use 800x600. Hell, alot of laptops still come with LCD screens that can only do 800x600.

  7. OSS? on Microsoft Asks WTO Not to Impose Software Tariffs · · Score: 1

    What the hell does this have to do with OSS?

    I still don't trust it. I do not know about what the WTO wants to do, but I doubt it would damage FORD.
    Maybe it'd be a good bash to MS that would help FORD into new niche markets.

  8. government is just... on Microsoft Asks WTO Not to Impose Software Tariffs · · Score: 1

    ... going to have to spend less of our tax $$$. They allready get money out of my pay check and 87oct gas is $1.41 here, $0.60 of that is tax.

  9. I still have my BBS. on Are BBS-Like Communities Dead? · · Score: 1

    It was more like the local ghetto of BBS's. It was a Laser Turbo (turbo ment it was 10Mhz and not 4.77, ph33r!) XT. It had dual ST-225 MFM HD's (20Megs each) and a good old Hays External 2400BPS smartmodem. It ran on JetBBS and if there was a shareware/free door game out their i had it on the system. I would go away for one weekend only to come back and find the HD's full with warez or something like that.

    The game in my calling area wasnt LORD, it was the multiBBS games called Planets (I think thats what it was called) and Falcon's Eye. At 12:00am or so they would all dial some server and download all the moves. So you ended up having BBS vs BBS. There was always a rush to see who could get connected 1st at 12:10am so you could get the 1st moves.

  10. Well it is Slashdot... on Are BBS-Like Communities Dead? · · Score: 1

    If you want your post to get moderated up just put in the topic: "Microsoft=Evil" or "Linux r00lz" or "Linus is God, ph33r!". Its not that hard to figger out. :)

  12. Its not THAT bad.... on AM Frequency Hinders ADSL Capacity · · Score: 1

    My cableco (optonline) has no caps on bandwith (up or down) and they also dont seem to give a shit what ports i listen on. I see 300+K/sec downloads. I once sent a ISO image to my friend that is on the same subnet as me and it went at over 600K/sec. The router (3Com/USR) could do the full 10Mbits...but ive never seen that. Plus i have a fixed IP. For $39.99 a month im happy with it

  13. The odds are 1 in 9,617 that this participant will on Dcypher.net Linux Clients Available · · Score: 1

    "The odds are 1 in 9,617 that this participant will find the key before anyone else does." Thats with my little K6-2 on distributed.net. Im sure the odds are better with dcypher.net( I hear that they have a faster client). 1 in 9617 is still better then the odds of finding ET with SETI :)

  14. It will still be cool on Tom's Reviews Kryotech's 1000MHz PC · · Score: 1

  16. RH 5.2 is OLD. It came with linux2.0 on NT vs. Linux - Mindcraft Vindicates Itself · · Score: 1

    If they used the newest NT then why not the newest RH? And why use RH at all? Its slow next to Slackware and a few other lesser known Distro's

  17. RH 5.2 is OLD. It came with linux2.0 on NT vs. Linux - Mindcraft Vindicates Itself · · Score: 1

    Redhat 5.2 is old. It didnt even come stock with kernel 2.2.6. If you just drop a new kernel into an old distro you run into alot of problems. You have to upgrade the rest of the software/drivers to support it. If you drop a 2.2 kernel into a 2,0 system it will boot and run. Just not right...and there will be error messages all over the place.

    Here is a workaround for EE. Im sure MS will be posting this on their site soon.

    When ever you get an Email do this:
    1) DELETE THE EMAIL right away. Dont even preview it. Yes just reading an Email can fsck up you system.
    or
    2) TURN OFF YOUR PC and wait untill MS puts out a fix in service pack 345.5 (You will be able to download this 1.4G patch from microsoft.com or buy the low priced CD for only $99.99(US).

  22. dont just copile/run this. on DVD Situation Takes New Turn · · Score: 1

    dont just run this. Get the source and LOOK IT OVER FIRST! Not to say that the AC is a bad guy or anything...you just can never be sure. I looked at some other sites and some are tar.gz and others are .ZIP's. And the all are diffrent file sizes. And it goes with out saying that running unknown stuff as root is a bad idea.
