    Um... yeah

  2. What? on SCO Hints at *BSD Lawsuits Next Year, And More · · Score: 1

    I thought BSD was dead ....as I type from my OSX laptop. :)

  3. april fools? on GTK+ TTY Port · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Wasn't a similar thing with Qt an April fools joke a few months back?

  4. This is a hoax on Electronic Voting Machine Cracker Challenge · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is obviously a hoax. Everyone knows that there are no women in computer science. :)

    I've been in college for a few years and I haven't seen a women since I stopped taking Gen. Ed. classes.

  5. Re:Kernel or distro? on IBM Clinches Security Certification for Linux · · Score: 1

    Probably just the SuSE distro with a specified set of settings. To make NT 4.0 "C2 secure" (what the Common Criteria specification used to be called) you had to install something that would set things up properly. I don't believe you have to do this with W2K, but there still is a specified setup that is "secure" not the OS itself.

  6. Re:Raise your hand... on Adobe Drops Mac Support For Premiere · · Score: 1

    Appleworks has all the functionality i need, and i suspect most of what other people need too.

    I'd rather pay $30 (academic) for Appleworks then $300-400 (academic) for MS Office.

  7. Hey! I'm famous. on Screensaver Bug in Mac OS X · · Score: 5, Informative

    I was the one that posted about the address bar in Safari. I am using 10.2.6. This is a problem for ALL cocoa apps.

    It'll probably be trivial for Apple to fix, though. So I'm just waiting for the patch to arrive.

  11. 802.11b? on Linux Rocket Blasts Off This Fall · · Score: 4, Interesting

    802.11b for data transmission to the ground? I know my 802.11b network doesn't have a range of 55,000 feet.

    >Or to measure linear thickness of heterogeneous coin >stacks and still have $/inch be as good a measure as $/>weight, again, to avoid explicit counting.

    I know for a fact that they already do this with bills.

  13. Re:not on x86 on Xine Gets Native Sorenson3 Decoding · · Score: 0

    The post said not JUST for x86. That means it will run on anything.

    Many times an open source media player will use the closed source (binary) driver via wine or something similar. Which means that it will only run on the architecture it was originally compiled for, in most cases x86. This is a complete open source implimentation; therefore, a completely portable implimentation.

    I used to live in Harrisburg. And there's nothing wrong or dangerous with the land surrounding TMI. I saw it with my own three eyes.

    I can second all of that!

    I had almost forgotten about Kali, I remember playing the original Descent with that. That was my first introduction to internet gaming as well.

  21. Exchange Protocol on Can We Finally Ditch Exchange? · · Score: 0

    I've worked alot with Exchange. Exchange uses WebDAV to access its mail, calendar, journal, etc. functions to communicate with its web frontend. You can even browse the WebDAV directories with open source WebDAV clients. It really should be very easy to communicate with an Exchange server with an Open Source solution.

  22. Re:Well I see /. says a "fix" is available now... on IE and Konqueror Bug Makes SSL Insecure · · Score: 0

    Using the magic of the "make" command, a developer does not have to wait all day for a complete recompile. He only has to put in the patch, issue a make command, and only the effected file is recompiled and then relinked with the rest.

    Try http://www.rdesktop.org/ I administer a Windows 2000 network and it works great. There is no gui configuration for it, but the command line options are really easy. I just put a shorcut on my desktop with the proper command line switches for easy access.

  25. Re:Staticly linked-implication on Bug in zlib Affects Many Linux Programs · · Score: 0

    Statically linked:

    The library object code is merged into the program that you compiled.

    Dynamically Linked (shared):

    The library object code is kept seperate (in /lib, /usr/lib, etc.) and the program is compiled to ask a dynamic linker application (ld on linux) for the code whenever the program comes to that spot in the program.
