    and 8 entries down....and 11 entries down..... It's one of Taco's bad, bad jokes

  2. Re:already slashdotted! on Lindows Media Computer: Power to Strike Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    yes, and with a subscription, you too can get in on this pre-slashdot slashdotting!

  3. Re:The Mars fossil IS made by life; my wife is not on GZipping Life Forms: Deflate Reveals Bare-Bones · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ahh, but the picture of your wife contains a lot of inanimate objects. I'm sure if you cropped the picture down to just her (or reasonably close) she would fare better in this comparison.

  4. Re:Incredibly cheap! ($49 is the real price) on Tom's Hardware Reviews VIA Mini-ITX Board · · Score: 1

    got a link where we can pick it up for that price?

  5. doh on Review of the Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 · · Score: 1

    I just bought mine at the same time, for the same reason, and I'm in the process of writing a review I was going to post to /., damn you! oh well, guess I can find better things to do...

  6. cooling fans on Creative Uses for 5.25" Drive Bays? · · Score: 1

    If you've got the extra space, put the 5 1/2" cooling fans in the drives, and mount a harddrive behind it. Keep them drives cool and they'll last longer....

  7. Re:Warrenties... on Do You Buy Extended Warranties? · · Score: 1

    no actually, BB employees don't work on commission, ass. However the number of hours they work do seem to coencide with the number of items/warrenties they sell.

  8. Re:it lives ? on State of the E-nion · · Score: 1

    hahaha! That joke is even funnier when you find out that both rasterman and a guy from the GNU/Hurd project spoke at the last acm reflections/projections confrence at UIUC.

    STL is a godsend. that is all.

  10. Re:Slackware's Apache is not modified. on Virgin Apache is Hard to Find · · Score: 1

    Okay, so slackware-9.0 has been tagged for almost 24 hours now, and your posting to slashdot rather than making iso's, sending an email to the announce list, posting to the front page of slackware.com, and getting the cd sets ready? Come on man, where are your priorities?!?! /me refreshes /. to see if there are any new stories.....

  11. Re:patched it already on Local Root Hole in Linux Kernels · · Score: 1

    you sir, are looking at the wrong Changelog.

    Slackware 9.0rc2, rc3, and final have all been released since the last time sourceforge updated. Get with the times.

  12. Re:patched it already on Local Root Hole in Linux Kernels · · Score: 1

    It's also been fixed in slackware-current, which became 9.0 just a few hours ago :-)

  13. Re:+5 Insightful!? WTF??? on Family Tech Support · · Score: 1

    You think that's bad? My dad has a Computer Science degree. From the same University I'm currently earning my Computer Science degree. He still calls me weekly for support on his $200 emachine peecee because of this fancy windoze thingy doesn't work

  14. Re:OpenBSD Installation on OpenBSD: Hackers Meet Soldiers · · Score: 1

    I know you'll probably get a thousand responses saying this, but OpenBSD is the easiest install I've ever done. So just jump in there an do it!

    Note: you will install it twice, because everyone fucks up there first install. everyone. period.

  15. Re:"runs on linux"? on Master of Orion 3 Released · · Score: 1

    ...and you are mistaken. You CAN run it with the windows dlls, but it'll work just fine without them.

  16. Re:Fewer Errors in TCP/IP Stack? on Open Code Has Fewer Bugs · · Score: 2, Informative

    (-1) Misinformed

    The linux TCP/IP stack was not pulled from BSD, it was written from scratch, or at least most of it was anyway. That's why when you see bug fixes for the BSD stack you don't see them in Linux, and vise-versa.

  18. SSL aware apps? on Best Practices for Writing LDAP Aware Apps? · · Score: 1

    On a semi-related topic, does anyone have a good pointer or two on writing an SSL aware app, or porting an exsiting app to use OpenSSL?

    Background:
    My school is turning off non-encrypted access to the the tn3270 machines, and I can't seem to find any free tn3270 client that support SSL. Being a Computer Science student I figured I'd add the capabilities myself, but I have no idea where to begin.

    So how about it? Can anyone point me to a howto or relavent documentation?

  19. Re:Analog tax returns on TurboTax DRM Writes to Your Boot Sector?! · · Score: 1

    If your taxes are simply enough, doing by and and using software to do it are both overrated. For the last 3 years I've filed my taxes via tele-file. There are 0 calculations to do. I dial the number, feed it some fields from my W-2, and it tells me how much I owe (or the govt. owes me).

  21. Re:For those noticing strange activity in -1territ on Samba-TNG Team Releases 0.3 · · Score: 1

    reading at +2 still doesn't help when retarded people (or the trolls themselves) mod the shit up as Funny.

  22. Re:What's new? on Samba-TNG Team Releases 0.3 · · Score: 1

    The big one I've seen lately causing headaches is MS Visual Studio.NET does file byte range locking. This is all fine and dandy, until you try to save and work on projects on a AFS drive, which only supports whole file locking, and VS.NET barfs all over it.

  23. test on Do-Not-Email Registries? · · Score: 1

    this is a test of the emergency messaging system. This story has been posted for over half an hour, and yet I don't see any comments. If this message is successful, feel free to mod me down, and it is only related to me testing to see if /. is broken or my browser.

    On a semi-related to the story note: I'm on the missouri no call list, and it works great. I recieve way fewer telemarketing calls than a did a year ago.

  24. Re:what if they are chained? on Remotely Counting Machines Behind A NAT Box · · Score: 1

    Mines fairly reasonable. The AUP is pretty empty, it basically says don't break any laws, and don't tell us if you do. (yes, I've re-read it twice to make sure). They place no restrictions on nat'ing, p2p, servers, etc. Along with the common sense AUP I get 512k/128k cable modem, Digital cable + 5 movie channels, and local phone services for a grand total of $100 in a package deal.

    They do offer additional IPs, but that is a "customer convenience" for those who want to access all their machines from the outside world w/o tunneling. I'm perfectly happy with 1 IP, so I don't pay the extra $3 and nat.

    my favorite is still "bring your pussy face to my ass", about halfway through the screenshots.
