  1. Re:Tor on The Ultimate Net Monitoring Tool? · · Score: 1

    Does it even matter who runs the nodes? Sure they can see the traffic going out their node but i thought the point of tor was that you couldn't find out where it came from initially because each node does not know about previous routes through the network, or is this wrong?

  2. Re:Xen on OpenVZ Pushing for Linux Kernel Inclusion · · Score: 3, Informative

    From: the website

    Second technique: Para-Virtualized Machines. This technique also requires a VMM, but most of its work is performed in the Guest OS code, which in turn is modified to support this VMM and avoid unnecessary use of privileged instructions. The paravirtualization technique also enables running different OSs on a single server, but requires them to be ported. The paravirtualization approach is used by Xen, UML.

    Third technique: Virtualization on the OS Level. Most applications running on a server can easily share a machine with others, if they could be isolated and secured. Further, in most situations, different operating systems are not required on the same server, merely multiple instances of a single Operating System. OS Virtualization systems have been designed to provide the required isolation and security to run multiple applications or copies of the same (or similar i.e different Linuxes) OS on the same server. OpenVZ, Linux VServer are examples of OS virtualization.

  3. KDE Screen shots on Red Hat Launches Online Red Hat Magazine · · Score: 0, Troll

    I find it funny that in the tips and tricks section, they take the time to show you the GUI way to configure window dragging with GNOME but go straight to the command line for KDE. Great way to misrepresent a competing desktop environment. Thanks RedHat for your corporate support.

    that should also be part of the survey.

  7. emailing the survey on Online Gaming Habits Surveyed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    chances are if you are emailing the survey the person has a PC and has gamed on it online.

    this is a flawed approach.

    u need to find people without a pc (no email) and find out if they play online with a console.

    no wonder PC won.

    >Does wide availability of high quality, low cost
    >software harm or help the world's economy?

    Where does he imply all OSS software is high quality?

    >This of course assumes that OSS = high quality

    No it doesn't. It assumes that there is high quality open source software that is widely available.

    I won't bother to list the software. I just wanted to note that u're assumptions are wrong.

  10. highest bid wins! on Congressional Budget Office Studies Copyrights · · Score: 2, Interesting
    The study basically recommends not changing the copyright legislation in favor of any particular stakeholder, including consumers or lobbyists.

    maybe they plan to drive the price tag higher. who ever with the most money wins the law?

  11. by sun's "open" definition on Solaris Coming to IBM's Power Architecture? · · Score: 0

    by suns open definition, to be able to change easily from the platform, windows is the most open operating system there is.

    Linux makes it real easy to get rid of windows.

    the fact of the matter is, you will get no battery life. u're gonna have to be jacked in to power. if u're gonna be jacked into ac, u might as well just build a pc that fits into a backpack and buy the best lcd u can with u're $$$. you will get better performance for u're buck.

    in ie if i type

    I can load the program, in firefox it prompts me to download it and disables the open option.

    does this mean IE has always been vulerable to this type of bug?

  16. ISV's on Getting Your Company to Migrate from IE? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We need everyone in our industry to switch. All of the ISVs and vendor extranet type applications require IE. We cannot switch from IE until the functionality provided by these companies is compatible with mozilla or moved from the browser based application. It'd be nice to have them only load IE for the specific app but trust me: users are stubborn. An extra click or two would cause them too much pain and suffering.

    Well I guess its time for us canadians to start building bomb shelters. It'll be soon after the next fixed election that we'll be getting attacked. I hope that it doesn't happen but after watching f911 I can't help but imagine what the US is capable of. Its really really scarey. *shudder*

  22. Well on Using Thin Clients with PeopleSoft? · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is a citrix client for a multitude of platforms. Setup a farm and they can connect no problem. Let their sessions stay open so even if they diss they can join back up. Spend some time setting up the servers so u don't have to reboot them every monday morning. but... it will cost you major cal $.

    Crossover office can run IE. Never tried it but nomachines.com sounds like a citrix like platform.

    If you are not IE specific then I'm not sure why the question is here.

    Often in a interview you are asked for some questions.

    One question that could be asked, Can I go meet the people I would be working with?

    It may or may not fly, but talking to the existing employees of the company sounds to me like the best, most direct way to find out anything you really need to know.

  25. I've been programming for 3 years on Reasonable Salary for Entry Level Programmers? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    and I still make no more than what someone doing 3 years of shipping and receiving would make.

    Your salary is dependant on the company. Some companies don't care about emloyees and love to turn them over.

    Also, if you are just starting, I wouldn't be worried. After a year they will probably bump you up to something more reasonable. You also can ask for a raise. If you ask for something you think you should be making and get rejected, look for a new position somewhere else.
