  1. Re:Quartz != X11 and Carbon != POSIX on OS X · · Score: 1

    Posix is there, otherwise it would not be BSD, but it also has Carbon, Cocoa, Quarts, and OpenGL. It should be significantly easier to port from OS X to linux than from win32 to linux. IIRC ID used to develop on NeXT and then port to windows.

  2. Re:So -- cross platform apps? on OS X · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that Jobs killed OpenStep for win32, very sad for windows users.

  3. Re:So -- cross platform apps? on OS X · · Score: 1

    You used to be able to create OpenStep apps under win32.

  4. Refuse the Mail on Stuffing Junkmail Postage-Paid Envelopes? · · Score: 1

    Just write on it Refused, return to sender. That works nicely. They get it back at expense, and then they know that you dont want their mail.

  5. Re:Your guys are missing the point... on Get Off The Grid: GE Announces Home Fuel Cells · · Score: 1

    One of the points that they make on the site, is that it only produces about the same amount of polution as a typical home furnace. While that means that I will be producing more polution over here in Souther California... in colder climates, that would mean an overall general reduction in polution.

  6. Re:I'm perplexed on UPDATED: OpenSSH Domain Name Controversy · · Score: 1

    One of the more frightening aspects of this is the security implications... I'm sure that the owner of the OpenSSH.org site has good intentions, whatever they are, but he could put contaminated binaries and / or source on his site. This could be code that has various security vulnerabilities with it, etc... This is especially dangerous in software who's express purpose is to help secure your system.

    Now I honestly dont think he's going to do that, but it is a valid concern.

  7. Re:You mixed up your dates.. on UPDATED: OpenSSH Domain Name Controversy · · Score: 1

    This is going to sound like flamebait.. but..
    like NetworkSolutions never messes anything up.. I wouldnt put it past them having the wrong registration dates in their database.

  8. Re:Controversy? on UPDATED: OpenSSH Domain Name Controversy · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is not the only source of news.. if you check OpenBSD Journal there has been mention of this for several days now.

  9. Re:Do you know what the "net" TLD is meant for? on UPDATED: OpenSSH Domain Name Controversy · · Score: 1

    And considering that slashdot was originally a site done by a college student, not for profit, it makes perfect sense. It is just in recent history that it has really become anything remotely near a comercial venture.

  10. Why this was posted... on Review: On "The Beach" · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, it has something to do with the main focus of the movie being escape from the technological confines of the rest of the world?

  11. Re:209.80.X.X on Load Testing the New Server (Take 2) · · Score: 1

    What I did, is make a directory with 20 subdir's in it. Then I did a..


    will@servername:/home/will/tmp/slash_test > ls
    st_1 st_11 st_13 st_15 st_17 st_19 st_20 st_4 st_6 st_8
    st_10 st_12 st_14 st_16 st_18 st_2 st_3 st_5 st_7 st_9
    will@servername:/home/will/tmp/slash_test > ps ax | grep wget | wc -l
    20
    will@servername:/home/will/tmp/slash_test > foreach file ( st_* )
    foreach? cd $file
    foreach? wget -b -r -l 4 http://209.207.224.40
    foreach? cd ..
    foreach? end
    Continuing in background.
    Output will be written to `wget-log.2'.
    Continuing in background.

  12. Re:Our day will come... on NT vs. Linux: Again · · Score: 1

    Actually, if I remember correctly, NT suffered from the same single threaded IP stack, until service pack 5, interestingly just a week or so before the Mindcraft Event.

  13. Re:v3 on 3Dfx seeking Linux developer · · Score: 1

    Actually the TNT2's are price comperable to the new voodoo's

  14. ...why not? on Stock Analysts Down on DIVX · · Score: 1

    At least he was man enough to use his own name, and in my opinion its not really as much an issue of drugs, as privacy.

    Personally I have never done any drugs, but still would not take a job that required a drug test.
