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

    If NTFS is not cleanly unmounted it requires cleaning, one of the MAJOR reasons to journel.

    And ACL's on NTFS, they are FAR worse than on netware which really did do them right the first time.

  2. Wow! on Go Stand By the Stairs, So I Can Protect You · · Score: 1

    That's so obsfucated that it might almost compile as real assembly...

    Now we know where the game came from :-)

  3. Re:KDE is no window manager on KDE Developer Sirtaj Singh Kang Interviewed · · Score: 1

    I know SEVERAL Melbourne based KDE developers, most of them are just such slack assess (This means you Danny) that had they been approached that they wouldn't have responded for a few months...

  4. It's called an eMac on Mac Case Mods · · Score: 1

    And has been out for most of this year, deal.

    Oh, and instead of that basterdised G3 Imac the eMac is a G4.

  5. Re:Wondering what's a Tablet PC? on Windows XP Tablet PC Edition · · Score: 1

    So THAT's the box I've got the KB for...
    Do you know if it's PS/2?

  6. cd on Top Ten Mac OS X Tips for Unix Geeks · · Score: 1

    The only issue with sudo is that you can't 'cd' to directories, you have to sudo bash (or other shell) first.

  7. Re:Oh No... on Critical Kerberos Flaw Revealed · · Score: 1

    And I'd doubt that many places (including MIT) would run the kerberos 4 support. krb4 is so broken it's not funny.

  8. Want any MAU's on Using MAC Address to Uniquely Identify Computers · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We have a s***load of Synoptics/Bay Networks fully managed TR MAU's just sitting here, take them PLEASE!!!

  9. Re:Fireworks on Tom's Hardware Compares Power Supplies · · Score: 1

    Actuallly, at work we don't allow the HARDWARE guys to touch anything (they break FAR more then they fix), there are a few competant guys there, but they're mostly software guys giving the rest a hand.

  10. Re:Novell Dying on Novell to Ship MySQL With NetWare 6 · · Score: 1

    You're obviously incompetant then.
    Novell have had SQL on netware for YEARS, (Oracle, and IIRC Sybase at least)

    Hate to say it but GW5.5 did very good HTML e-mail sending & recieving.

  11. Re:40 year old Unix on Ballmer Sees Free Software as Enemy No. 1 · · Score: 1

    Scarily enough, the only stock market tracking system that can handle Wall St's biggest days is run on PDP11's...

    Be afraid, be VERY afraid.
    (On a side note the final PDP 11 model was released in 1990)

  12. /. Works fine with opera on Opera Software Brings Its Browser to Mobile Phones · · Score: 1

    Using it now ;-) (On my win98 laptop)

    The linux version also works fine.
    Although what I (generally) do is make my link to slashdot http://slashdot.org/index.pl instead of http://slashdot.org/ to ensure that I get the dynamic page.

  13. So... on Rogue and Tetris ported to . . . . . Diablo II?!?! · · Score: 1

    You end up playing a classic addictive game while (supposedly) playing a (not so) new online multiplayer game...

    Right... /me plays bsd-tetris

  14. One word... on Blender Is GPL · · Score: 1

    Emacs...

  15. crap soundcards? on Streaming DVD Video over the Internet · · Score: 1

    So what about my Digi001, or the Event Layla system that I built for a friend. Both have the most beautiful sounding converters (The Layla has the best I've ever A/B'd), and I'd put money on the fact that they're better than most AC3 amps.

  16. Network Filesystem on A Distributed Front-end for GCC · · Score: 1

    If you're compiling over the net and can't live with NFS (or samba) look at AFS, it's nicely secure, and is designed to work over the Internet.

  17. In a perfect world on Security as a Profit Center? · · Score: 1

    We would still need doors.

    I'm a recording engineer, it takes 3 solid wood (airtight sealed) doors to get to the recording space from the control room, this means that sound is not able to leak.

    Doors are NOT JUST for security, they are for other, totally unrelated things as well. [Actually each of the three doors has quite serious locks on them, but that's cause they open to the outside and so do have a need for security...]

  18. Re:More details on this on 12 October on Cell Phone-Controlled Household Robot Revealed · · Score: 1

    No,

    The same info will be able here in a few days when someone reposts it...

  19. Re:Passgo on Passport vs. Plan 9 · · Score: 1

    Um, why do you need domain passwords (I'm assuming NT/2k/XP) you can login to NT via NDS, (and there are other ways, like a low-level replacment of the SAM) so that just leaves mainframe passwords to sync, something that I'd assume would be a far simpler job.

  20. Re:Only 18 on Classic Console TV Ads · · Score: 1

    >when I was 12(in 1986)

    How did you get to 12 in 2 years????

  21. I just bought it on "Fastest Browser On Earth" Cuts Crud · · Score: 1

    I bought opera for linux two days ago and am very happy with the result, I've been an opera user for the last 5 years and they just keep getting better.

  22. Bull on Linuxworld Fun · · Score: 1

    I'd expect that if people didn't fake their refferrers then the numbers would be much different, I'm using Opera ATM but am emulating IE5.5.

  23. Silicon Grail site F'd on Apple Acquires Silicon Grail · · Score: 1

    I couldn't see any announcement on the Silicon Grail site, and when I tried to go anywhere but the homepage I got 500 server errors (with a 500 trying to serve the 500, go figure)

    I've never seen a /.ing do THAT before...

  24. It's funny because it's true on Latest IE Hole Lets Gopher Root You · · Score: 1

    /me had the same experience...

  25. Re:What needs to be standardized on Linux Vendors to Standardize on Single Distribution · · Score: 1

    A lot of that already is:
    1. Installation. Red Hat's RPM, Debian's .deb. Those are the two to choose from (RMPv3 is in the LSB, but I vote for .deb)

    2. Boot scripts. There should at least be a common _interface_ to the boot scripts. With the LSB we're getting there. However what I would like is the redhat tools (ntsysv and the like) for debian.

    3. Automatic Kernel Updater. No. This is not something that most people need, If you wish to do your own kernel then you should have to take the steps manually to ENSURE that you know how dangerous that can be.

    4. Printing. CUPS, works on almost all unicies AND MacOS X
