  1. So long Rob on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the site! Good luck in future endeavors!

  2. Re:Aluminium Keyboard Update Bug on Mac OS X 10.5.3 To Fix Over 200 Bugs, Coming Soon · · Score: 2, Informative

    I had the same issue with the MacBook firmware update. You have to actually go the file that is downloaded and manually run the update. I believe the link is http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303364.

  3. Re:butt set on Injecting Audio Into Insecure Bluetooth Handsets · · Score: 1

    I've got one at my office ;-)

  4. New ibook owner on Forbes Predicts 5% Desktop Share for Apple in 2005 · · Score: 1

    I've always been a Mac and FreeBSD fan and just recently purchased a used G3 ibook from a friend. I'm now thinking about replacing all of my *BSD boxes with Apple ;-) The power of Unix with the beauty of Apple; a great combination.

  5. Re:Money vs Quicken on Show Me The Money - Microsoft Money Vs. Quicken · · Score: 4, Informative

    Quicken has this feature in the Calendar. It shows a chart at the bottom that will tell you, based on your scheduled bills or payments, how much money you'll have for each day of the month.

  6. Quicken is the only reason I have Windows on Show Me The Money - Microsoft Money Vs. Quicken · · Score: 2

    I don't play games much anymore and can do anything I need on my FreeBSD box, but for my finances all I use is Quicken. I update it daily and use it to plan budgets and future savings. I've seen some of the open source finance programs but Quicken really rocks.

  7. Re:Finally this madness ends. on ARIN: No More IP's For IP-Based Virtual Hosts · · Score: 1
    NAT is OK, especially if you are using it on a Cisco box and all people want to do is basic HTTP, FTP and email stuff. Cisco lets you use one IP to NAT off of, so you just set your Dialer 1 interface to be 'ip address negotiated' and then your NAT statement to be 'ip nat inside source access-list number interface Dialer1 overload'. It works real nice, and saves IPs.

    It does have limitations like you say, but for a lot of small businesses it works fine.

  8. Re:IP-based virtual hosting still needed on ARIN: No More IP's For IP-Based Virtual Hosts · · Score: 1

    For example, the hosting provider I work for sets up dedicated Apache installations for each customer -- and this policy gets hailed as heavenlike by our customers, since they're free to install any extensions they could possibly need (or even completely switch servers).
    This is OT a little, but instead of having dedicated Apache installations, can't you just use seperate entries for each site. One apache, one httpd.conf, but each site can have only the things they want/need.

  9. Re:Check out asdf.com too: on Who Reads Your @nospam Mail? · · Score: 1

    ha ha. Yea, we get enough spam, and we actually save the spam we get. We rotate the mail file every day, and even gzipped the size of the file is usually between 5 and 12 megs :-P

  10. Re:FreeBSD 4.0 on No FreeBSD 3.5 On CD From WC/BSDI · · Score: 1

    Right, I just put 4.0 on a crappy old NEC Pentium 75 and it is running great (so far). Lots of new stuff supported, and the install is a lot smoother. You can also install SSH right from the start which is nice.

  11. Re:Total spoilers ahead! Don't read! But, Question on Forum:Blair Witch Project · · Score: 1
    This is all IMHO of course but:

    What was tied up in the bundle of sticks? A piece of Josh? Could we tell what bit? If it was a piece of Josh, did she tell Mike? I didn't think she did. If she did, why would they still be hoping to find him in the house?

    To me it looked like a tongue and some teeth. It was definitely body parts of some type, and most likely from Josh. She didn't tell Mike because he would have probably lost it completely at that point. I don't know why they were still looking for him, maybe because they felt they just had to find him and were not thinking straight. I mean, if it was his tongue, then how could he yell to them and call them by name?

    That was Mike standing in the corner? How did he get there so fast? And why was he just standing there? I didn't understand that bit about the legend. If somebody tells me to stand in a corner while he kills my friend, I would think I'd be trying to get away? Maybe it was Josh standing there (if it wasn't a piece of him that she found). But then where did Mike go? She was right behind him coming down the steps.

    Remember the story of the hermit guy who would take two kids in the basement, stand one in the corner, then kill the other one? I think that was what that was supposed to be. Although I think Mike was already dead, or at least knocked out. I think Mike was running real fast and just got a head of her.

    What were all the stick figures in the trees? Did they have any connection to anything else we saw in the movie? I would gather that the piles of stones represented the dead -- 7 original disappeared, 7 piles. 3 of them, 3 piles. But all the stick figures were never really explained.

    On the documentary on Sci-Fi, they said after something happened in the past, like some babies dying or something, a ton of those figures came up in the river one day.
