  1. Re:Good Luck on Migrating Your Office from Windows to Linux? · · Score: 1

    intersting follow-up from that:

    Whats the best way to manage multiple user accounts over mutlitple linux workstations? Samba now includes a daemon for maping NT user id's to UNIX id's, or there is NIS domains. Would you want to have to run XDM on every machine though? and would you want /home to be a NFS share? or other nextwork filesystem?

  2. Re:Clever buggers on Under Attack by PanIP's Patent Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    a) how would a Ddos attack solve or help anything at all?

    b) how is it thier mision statement sounds exactly like it came from that dilber mission statement generator?

    "We are a technology development company focusing on the intellectual property aspects of innovation in the information, sales and services sectors of business."

    (bah they call suing little company inovation)

    "The attack doesn't happen through the chat client, so as long as you have MSN Messenger installed, if I send you a special URL, I can own you,"

    hmm using words like "own you" makes me suspect this is some spotty skript kiddie somewhere.

    Actualy what he means is if you run trillian and have the official client installed you would think you wernt vunerable, BUT YOU ARE, since merly having the activeX control present makes you vunerable.

    Interestingly though assuming you use any web browser and mail client that doest support activeX controls you are presumable safe

  6. Re:PG vs. 12 certificate on Attack of the Clones Cut in UK · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The whole ratings system is seriously odd. What has an adverse affect upon one 11 year old might provoke another 11 year old into acutlay THINKING about an issue.

    The rating scheme assumes all children are identical.. which there not.. unless there all clones and im blind.

  7. Re:Barbaric! on Remote Controlled Rats · · Score: 1

    actualy we ARE animals.

    and quite a lot of us behave exactly like them.. strange isnt it?

  8. Linux WLAN on Hardware Manufacturers that Actively Support Linux? · · Score: 1

    The drivers for Prism/Prism2 chip based 802.11b cards was actualy better than the windows drivers from what I found.

  9. Re: No hoax - There ARE REAL PEOPLE like this on Apple Deals with Devil, Communists · · Score: 1

    My parents had a leaflet explaining how bad harry potter was. One of the characters names was an anagram of diagonal ley. And dont come trick or treating at halloween or they'll try and convert you. It is kinda funny watching, but kinda hard growing up in the middle of it

  10. Re:Yes, it's a hoax, but it's funny on Apple Deals with Devil, Communists · · Score: 1

    What is even more ammusing is the ID3 genere tag "Christian gangsta rap" (hex 88 as I recall)

    Those christians that belive they are living proof "that cool chrisitans do exist" never cease to ammuse me too

  11. Re:Wow. Companies that care. on W2K and MAC OS9 Flood Root Nameservers? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If the problem is the private IP's attempting to update DNS records then they have to have been nat'd or masqueraded in someway, so short of parsing EVERY DNS packet there is no way to tell since the source address will the user's public IP

  12. Re:GUI vs CLI on Teaching Linux/Unix Basics to Microsoft Junkies? · · Score: 1

    I still have yet to comprehend why anybody could possibly want to run a GUI on a server. EVER.

  13. Re:not a very logical idea on e-Denounce · · Score: 1

    on the plus side though we could use it to filter out all those rubbish warez sites which are infact just one huge porn banner

  14. The worring thing is on First, WinModems. Now, WinWiFi. · · Score: 1

    I bought some wireless cards based on the prism chip, and I couldnt get the windows driver to work reliably at all. The linux ones worked perfectly though, but unfoturunatly they had to go back because of that. Kinda worrying though

  15. Patents on Web Services Patented by IBM and Microsoft · · Score: 1

    A friend made an intersting point about patents the other day: "Imagine where we would be now if people had patented buble sorts etc."

    When the Bible was originaly compiled there were many books that were omitted. What about them were they the word of god too? If no why did people even propose that they should be included?

    normaly this happens the otherway round. And then for once stuff is shown in the UK first and listen to the fuss everyones making about it. We had to wait somthing like 4 months for Jay and Silent bob strike back :-(

  20. Re:Carefully now. . ! on FDA Approves Implantable Microchips · · Score: 1

    It is interesting to note that if you think that what you read in the bible nowdays is what was writen approximatly 2000 years ago you are VERY much mistaken. What with translation and a couple of 1000 different versions it has changed meaning quite dramticaly to suit whoever translated it at the time. They might not even have realised it, but every transtaltion adds part of their optinions to it.
