  1. Re:interesting on Interview With Con Zymaris Of Open Source Victoria · · Score: 2, Informative

    OSIA is very new (pretty much formed at LCA 2004) and will be a parent/umbrella org for OSV, etc.

  2. Re:sliding down the glass.... on Beer Bubbles Really Do Sink · · Score: 2, Funny

    *thinks back to LCA 2004 conference dinner* (Rusty, Linus etc. all a *little* too drunk, this would be why I have an OpenBSD shirt signed by Linus)

    Yeah, sounds about right.

  3. Great People! on Linux Conf 2004 Gives in Many Ways · · Score: 1

    I know several of the CBSA people, and they are great to deal with.
    If your in Australia and have old PC's to get rid of you should contact these guys (or one of their sister orgs around australia).

  4. Damn! on Hacking By Subpoena · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can't sue Microsoft for the Windows source code now!

    I've gone cross-country skiing where it's been 25deg celcious (ie. pretty warm) and been down to very light shirt and solid pants, and been sweating like mad, and after a day of cross-country skiing you really do feal like you have no shoes that are too tight...

  6. Re:Punishment on Kazaa Says On Track to Be Most-Downloaded Program · · Score: 1

    Strangely enough it's working on a Win2k box at work that does a domain login...

  7. re: FCP media management on Apple Updates Professional Video Lineup · · Score: 1

    Then you're obviously just going along accepting the defaults, I've had decent media management since FCP 1.0 and never had an issue, all you do is set the capture scratch to your project dir, and name your clips when capturing.

  8. Re:Sourceforge? on Debian's Own SourceForge · · Score: 1

    As someone who hacks on GForge (and on debian-sf, what the debian one runs) the projects have merged, with debian-sf being the stable branch, and GForge just going into beta now.

  9. Re:MySQL DOES have sub-selects on MySQL A Threat to Bigwigs? · · Score: 1

    As I said MySQL 4.1 does subselects that can be used almost everywhere, take a look on the mysql website for details. And the views in the next mysql will work even for updates and insterts.

  10. MySQL DOES have sub-selects on MySQL A Threat to Bigwigs? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've seen it demonstrated, and tried it myself, although as the MySQL guy pointed out a log of sub-selects can be done with joins.

    The next version of mysql will also have views.

  11. Debian uses 2.4! on Kernel 2.2 - It Lives! · · Score: 1

    Debian stable is VERSION 3.0r1, and depending on the arch the default kernel is either a 2.2 or 2.4, (most of the new arch's are 2.4 only [hppa], and some older ones have issues with 2.4). Off hand you can get 2.4 install disks for everything bar sparc32.

  12. Sweet... on Helms Deep Battle Recreated In Doom · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Now if I wasn't in class...

  13. Re:I was curious. on Blog From Your Cellphone? · · Score: 1

    Some phones have different letters to others, that's what you get using most phones, but some are different.

  14. It's called a Newton on Palm PDA Roundup · · Score: 1

    and mines sitting right next to me at the moment.

  15. I know people that work at melbourne uni. on Slashback: Nerves, Unis, Subtitles · · Score: 1

    And if they scan the IT dept, they will find some good collections :-) (A few gig on an iTunes library for one of my friends)

  16. Re:zero problems for me on Mac OS X Update 10.2.4 Resets · · Score: 2, Informative

    > PPS: does anybody know what the file /iNode12022737 is for? I keep seeing files like that in the root dir...

    That looks like an orphaned file, where there is still a file associated with an inode, but no file name associated with it.

  17. It's Japenese on Review of PCV-W10 Desktop by Sony · · Score: 1

    What do you expect (OK, Other then then PHKL)

  20. Quicktime is good... on Quicktime 6 Becoming Mobile-Phone Standard? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's just sorenson that sucks (Unless you pay $$$ for a good encoder...),

    Standards, don't you love them, there's so many to choose from!

  21. Does that mean no more codewarrior? on Motorola's Metrowerks Acquires Lineo · · Score: 0, Flamebait

  22. I just bought an HP server off Telstra on ZDNet Australia Interviews Richard Alston · · Score: 1

    and it has an IBMGS tag on it... rather cute...

  23. Alston's an Idiot on ZDNet Australia Interviews Richard Alston · · Score: 2

    But it's actually a hard job with the consumers wanting the impossible ("It must be our RIGHT to have FREE UNLIMITED broadband") and the telco's & ISP's (unsurprisingly) unwilling to give it.

  24. Re:Bull. on Indian State Switches to Linux · · Score: 1

    I don't work with Win2k, I can't trust it outside of a hardware firewall which is my situation admining WinNT4 due to idiot management (but a situation that should be fixed within a month), if they've improved it in NTFS5 so good for them, I don't use it on the server side at the moment, so I don't know.

    While I do prefer Linux, all of my present consulting jobs are administering various windows clients & servers.

    Ahh, I've run KDE 2 on a 486 DX4 100 before (32 ram), it's not as painful as Windows 2000 on a P200 (64 ram)
