  1. Re:Where to get it... on What's New in OpenBSD 4.2? · · Score: 1

    These are new ISOs with base sets in.

  2. Re:ping? Really? on Using Sound To Test Internet Connections · · Score: 1
    And they're just now discovering it? Did the reporter read a man page or something?

    Woah! Don't jump to such radical conclusions! It takes years of using a UNIX like OS to be able to consult man pages.

  3. Re:Here's a riddle for you! on Tech-Interview Riddles · · Score: 1

    Some donkeys? I'm right aren't I? You've got D0NK3YS!

  4. Question for Potter! on Harry Potter, Macrovision and Economics · · Score: 1, Troll

    I've read teh B00KS over and over about TW1CE now and I just can't tell.

    Does HARRY have a D0NK3Y?

  5. Indeed! I agree completely! on Nintendo Announces new Zelda, Mario & Metroid · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Beer certainly is one of the best parts of game playing. I'm sure it improves my aim on some games too.

  6. Re:Banner ads? What banner ads? on End of the Free Internet · · Score: 1

    I'm using Junkbuster but the I still let some of the Slashdot ads through because they know we're geeks and what-have-yous and the ads that get picked are aimed at us.

    Clicking on the ads just to drool over dual processor 1U servers is okay, you know. :-)

  7. Re:The most disturbing thing I ever saw... on Sega, Nintendo Team Up To Create New Graphics Board · · Score: 1

    It's gonna be cool! Sonic on the GBA too! Super super!

    I've never owned a Sonic game before because I've only ever bought Nintendo hardware (more of a limit to one console-of-the-day than loyalty, IMO).

  8. Re:Return Of Q&A with Heinous Turdballs! on Industry Agrees On Next Gen Unified DVD Standard · · Score: 2, Informative

    LOL! And it's all true aswell!

  9. Re:Simple solution, work for yourself on Do You Like Your Job? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm trying not to talk to my plant right now. Unfortunately, I've moved it where I bump into it frequently and have to resist apologising.

  10. Re:Advantages of Dead Tree Books on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 1

    If we're talking about technical books here then what's the point of not having a power source? Soon as you read something in the technical book you've got to try it out to see if it suits your needs and if your computer doesn't have any power that's not going to work too well.

    And if you're in your PJs at night you need power to light the book up to read it. You'll damage your eyes otherwise. You should check with an optician right now. Just because everything looks pretty blurred doesn't mean it's a good thing.

  11. Re:OpenBSD System Administration on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 1

    If a Windows convert has got themselves through the installation process they can definitely manage to read afterboot(8).

    You just need to be prepared to learn and since we're talking about someone converting then they're already prepared for that.

  12. Re:kerberos on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 1

    There's an info manual for kerberos which comes with OpenBSD which seems to be pretty easy to follow.

    I assume that it'd come with the source to your installation too (OpenBSD's source for the documentation is here)

    Since the documentation has source in texinfo you can run it through LaTeX to create a book with chapters and everything.

    I've just had a brief look at the new docs there and it even seems to have the subtopics you list.

  13. Re:What book do I need? on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 1

    I would!

    Doesn't even have to be tonight -- next week or month would be fine by me.

  14. Re:dead tree books on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 1

    This is what the search box and hyperlinks are for. Then there are command line interfaces (such as man and info) which have ways of going directly to topics.

    It's clearly personal preference. I find I can't read technical books without being on a computer and being able to try things out. Since I'm on the computer and am using the command line all the time thumbing through books just seems too slow to me.

  15. Re:Who E-mails Movies? on The Napsterization of TV · · Score: 2, Insightful
      • There's still ill-will about the videos. I didn't think it was a big deal. And I apologized all around. But the damage has been done.
      Tell them to kiss your ass and get over it.
    moo!
  16. Re:"Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien" on Slashdot Code Update · · Score: 1

    Nice fix. Thanks. :-)

  17. Re:Linux viruses needed. on Linux Virus Alert · · Score: 1

    I think they get more sales for Linux/Unix software just because mail/samba servers are serving Windows machines than because the Linux/Unix machines might get a virus.

    Certainly in the case of servers, there really isn't a way a properly setup server which is just sitting in the corner is going to get a virus if all you have to do is install something that sounds useful as root.

  18. Re:What about... err... KDE? on Linux Virus Alert · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You'd read all of the source that KDE or Gnome requires for compilation and installation?

    Not likely.

  19. Re:They're Trying So Hard... on Linux Virus Alert · · Score: 1

    What with it getting easier and easier to install Linux on any machine it's really just as easy to run scripts as root as it is to execute attachments in Outlook. (maybe a little over generalised but you get the idea :)

  20. Nice but sales talk put me off on LindowsOS Marches On · · Score: 1

    Nice idea but you have to wade through a load of sales blurb just to find out what the whole idea of the project is that I already don't trust the project - the FAQ just gave me the impression of people trying to out corporate-speak each other.

    With too much of that kind of talk are people likely to step back and think that Lindows are too much like Microsoft?

  21. Re:DVD players with PS1 support... on Panasonic 'Q' First Look · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly certain he means PS1. Sony is still selling enough PS2 units that they wouldn't want to intentionally create competition.

    But this is for a story for something pretending to be a GameCube which hasn't even been released in Europe yet!

    I want one of those cute little cubes.

  22. Re:"Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien" on Slashdot Code Update · · Score: 3, Insightful

    See that grey pearl besides your comment's details ?

    I'd love to be able to see this pearl in Light Mode

  23. More AA Lib Action in an X Server! on Textmode Quake 2 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Some fool compiled an xserver with aalib and you can see the output including screenshots of enlightenment menus etc here:

    http://www.meow.org.uk/stan/xserver/

    Maybe that'd work with xquake?
