  1. Re:DOS 95 on DesqView/X: Night of the Living Dead Codebases · · Score: 1

    Don't forget to put dos=noauto in your config.sys. This stops Windows from auto-loading ifshlp.sys, setver.exe and various other clutter.

  2. Re:Compile the kernel? on Borland C++ For Linux · · Score: 1

    That's a garbage example. 'a' is equally an int (the casting comes in when you assign a char to it). I can say int x = 'a', for example. Check out what the preprocessor does to your '' constants sometime.

    The result of sizeof() is by definition ambiguous, because a constant is only assigned a type when used in an expression. I can't think why you would ever do that - sizeof is only useful with variables and types.

  3. Archived posting at MARC on Tracking Down The AMD "Processor Bug" · · Score: 1

    Because geocrawler seems to be /.ed: Athlon/AGP issue update.

  4. Re:I would prefer the other way around on Debian NetBSD · · Score: 1

    If I want to mount a share over SMB in freebsd, I'm screwed. There's no sambafs in the kernel.

  5. Re:Why, oh Why... on Off-The-Rack Liquid-Cooled PC Case · · Score: 1

    Yep, the P3-533 came with a 133 MHz fsb and was available in slot 1. The chipset on the motherboards was either the i820 series (RAMBUS) or various i820+MTH chipsets (which used SDRAM)

    I told a friend to buy one a few years ago thinking that slot 1 was the future. Ha.

    You can get CD-quality rips for $10-15 an album at any mall.

  7. Re:Check out Microsoft's tools on LDAP Tools - Where are they? · · Score: 5, Informative

    In Windows, LDAP browser is a good tool. It even shows you 'hidden' password attributes that get obfuscated by the Microsoft tools.

    AFAIK, it supports LDAPv2, LDAPv3 and Active Directory. It supports most all SASL mechanisms, even NTLM when necessary.

  8. Re:The moral of the story? on How Google Saved USENET · · Score: 1

    There's an X-no-archive archive, you know.

  9. Better link on Preview the New Napster · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Hmm... Fark is /.ed so try this link: http://www.napster.com/preview/.

  10. Re:Don't embed engryption.. on "Fast Packet Keying" Improvements to WEP · · Score: 1

    Unless you use that VPN for everything, your DNS requests are still visible and there's a possibility of spoofed DNS replies.

  11. Re:slave ATAPI CD on soundblaster on Kernel 2.4.17 Out · · Score: 1

    Or (c) Some SB16s use a Sony, Panasonic or Mitsumi proprietary inferface, shitstain.

    Seriously, this guy is probably looking for help with one of the "non-ATAPI/SCSI" cd-rom interfaces that are so rare now.

    "I've personally never heard of a house with AC in canada."

    The 10 million Canadians living between Windsor and Montreal where it's +30 and humid during the summer would probably beg to differ.

    Equally, I live far away in Calgary and I know maybe 3 people with AC in their houses :)

    He's no coward. He should say whatever he can to get out of jail. The world fucked him.

  14. Re:They can get us Linux users too on FBI Confirms Magic Lantern Existence · · Score: 1

    Perhaps use sftp and publicfile like a sane person? http://cr.yp.to/publicfile.html

    proftpd has had its share of holes. You shouldn't be using ftp for uploads anyway.

  15. Re:Doing the math... on Thermal Solar Plant To Be Erected In Australia · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but you pay that figure once. How much per Joule to keep it running?

    Semi on-topic: my city (Calgary) bought the output of a bunch of wind turbines south of the city to power the light rail system. That's at least a few MW, I'm sure.

    Have you seen the prostitutes in Berlin? Way more fucked up fake 'n bake plastic blonde than any American porn stars.

  17. Re:What Nonsense on 2nd Space Tourist To Visit ISS In April 2002 · · Score: 1

    Speaking as a Canadian, that is certainly not true of Canada. "America" means USA. "North America" is a continent containing, among other contries, both Canada and the US.

    I'm sure that Mexicans feel the same way, although I can't speak for them.

  18. Re:Securing OpenSSH on Slashback: Highness, Hominess, Hole-ines · · Score: 3, Informative

    SSHWinClient at ftp://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh is free as in $0 for non-commercial use. It includes a good SSH terminal and the best SFTP/SCP client out there.

    There's also OpenSSH for cygwin and a crappy piece of software called telneat which I used before I installed cygwin. Apparently new versions of telneat are commercial now anyway.

    See http://ssh.gatordog.com/ for a bazillion others.

  19. Re:MandrakeBSD? on OpenBSD 3.0 Release, Interview with Theo · · Score: 1

    I for one would like to see a way to easily move back and forth through the install - as it is in OpenBSD 2.9, I have to start over if I fuck up one thing.

    Unpacking the ports tree at install time would be cool too.

    I'd also like some clearer docs on what ISA device settings will work with the kernel - an ne2000 at IRQ5 or 9 is ok, but not 3 for example - but since the kernel build files are available that's easy enough to find out on another machine.

  20. Re:This will be short lived. on DOJ Already Monitoring Cable Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    Hah. You can't blackmail someone by showing they look at "sleazy web sites". This isn't the 1950s. Nobody cares about "pornography" anymore.

  22. Eat it on Wu-ftpd Remote Root Hole · · Score: 1

    Or use a read-only, anonymous ftpd like publicfile and avoid getting owned.

    We have things like sftp-server for authentication and uploads. There are very few legitimate reasons to keep using ftp for uploads. Are you still using telnetd too?

    The average restaurant owner buys a full system preconfigured by somebody who knows what they're doing - pads/card readers, dialer, everything. No PCs and no storebought access points involved.

  24. Re:Touche on Red Hat Proposes Alternative Settlement To MSFT · · Score: 1

    For the cost of 20 PCs with software you can get 100 PCs with Free software? So 80% of the cost of a Windows PC is the software? Hey, you're horribly wrong.

  25. Re:I don't think so. on With XML, is the Time Right for Hierarchical DBs? · · Score: 1

    The "joiner" table is not a kludge.

    Besides, many LDAP implementations - ActiveDirectory for example - have a relational DB at their core.
