  1. Spell Check on Custom Slashdot Update · · Score: 1

    The only forseeable problem with canceling or updating your own posts is that any follow-up/replies to your post would be out there in limbo.

  2. Request nntp-gateway on Custom Slashdot Update · · Score: 1
    I already have one up and working internally. The article parser is written in perl, and it spools into INN directories. It parsed the flat 1000+ comment GNOME story in about 5 seconds.

    Don't want to take away from the /. advertising click-throughs by making it public-access though.

  3. Name on Custom Slashdot Update · · Score: 1
    Now to come up with a better name than "Custom Slashdot"..

  4. YAMS (Yet Another Mirror Site) on Prequel Trailer #2. Get it. · · Score: 1

    Here's a temporary mirror (few days or until i need disk space :P) with MPEG and MOV.. have phun.

  5. Here's more on Some mobile PIIs have PIII-type IDs · · Score: 1
    The control tricks the computer into crashing.

    You have to "trick" Windows into crashing? I would've thought that was pretty much a voluntary thing on Windows' part :-)

  6. Intel on Some mobile PIIs have PIII-type IDs · · Score: 1
    Intel apparently was testing the process, used in the PIIIs on some of their PII mobile lines, and someone forgot to turn that circuit off before they left the factory

    Sounds like the Tuskegee Study all over again if you ask me..

  8. hah on Anonymous Coward Sued for Slander · · Score: 1

    If they entered false crap in their profile, I'd like to see them track these guys down going on IP address alone.. I don't know about other ISPs, but my shop's login/radius logfiles rotate out within a month or two.

  10. Kernel, drivers, et al on Linux 2.2.3 Released · · Score: 1

    I do use patches. With the connection i'm on, pulling a kernel isn't exactly a problem either.. It just seems more sensible to not have to download a crapload of SCSI and other assorted drivers if you don't really need them anyway.

  11. KDE is great on new KDE 1.1 Screenshots · · Score: 1
    Just installed 1.1 last night.. Only one make error (on ksirc), but if you go in and build it manually, it'll work just fine. Only visible bug after installation is that picking alternate desktop backgrounds bombs the display properties dialog (that's probably a libraries problem on my end though).

    Congrats to the KDE team on another fine release.

  12. Kernel, drivers, et al on Linux 2.2.3 Released · · Score: 1
    Has anyone ever considered splitting the actual Linux kernel and all its device drivers into different packages? I mean, wouldn't it be easier to just download a linux-2.2.3 package (containing the kernel itself only) and then download any driver options you may need, like drivers-ide-2.2.3 or drivers-scsi-2.2.3? It'd be a smaller download and you wouldn't have to answer 20 trillion questions in the config.

    As hardware support for Linux grows, it'll only make the all-in-one kernel package larger.

  13. Hmmm..... Beowolf? on Help Beat on Our New Server · · Score: 1
    Don't you think a beowolf cluster of those babies would just scream?

    Isn't Beowulf just for specialized Beowulf-enabled apps?

    Look on the bright side.. At least you're not administrator of an NT box.

  16. The next big internet failure on MP3.com Going Public · · Score: 1
    Of course, I said the same thing about mirabilis.

    And you were right.. Regardless of the stats they post on their website, ICQ popularity is on a sharp decline. They have constantly fudged user signup statistics to make it look popular. A simple sequential scan of their database shows that a significant number of UINs are invalid (sometimes with large gaps where they bumped the number up to reach a certain number-of-users goal). ICQ is the killer app that killed itself.

    Is there an open contact-list protocol yet that isn't owned by Microsoft?

  17. foo mp3.com on MP3.com Going Public · · Score: 1
    I was reading something here on /. awhile back that when you sign with MP3.com, you have to give up all your rights to your work. Is this true or not?

  20. Linux on Wired on RMS · · Score: 1
    You might possibly be one of the sheep that is not aware of the extent GNU software makes things work on your computer --unless you run some proprietary system.

    So if it's not GNU, that makes it proprietary?
