  1. Re:Linux SATA support? on High-End, High-Capacity SATA-150 Roundup · · Score: 1

    FC3 and FC4 both install fine to SATA drives. I havent tried FC2 (that I can recall).

  2. Re:g5 and g7 mice on Discussing Logitech's New Gaming Mice · · Score: 1, Troll

    As a left handed person, I don't see what the issue is. I always use mice w/ my right hand. In fact, I can't use a mouse w/ my left hand very well at all. I highly doubt there are 15-20% of people who actually use the mouse on the left hand side. Probably closer to 1 or 2%.

    Thanks for the correction! I figured someone would prove me wrong.

  4. Re:Err.. on Mac OS X Running on Non-Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    Yes and no.. The source for Darwin x86 is readily available and it is based on BSD. As such, most BSD drivers will probably work with little or no changes.

  5. Re:This is great! on Full-Motion Ads Come to Videogames · · Score: 1

    And just like all your magazine's and newspapers are free because they have tons of ads in them?

    Also, Most commercial tv is watched via a pay service these days (be it cable tv or satellite).

  6. Re:I'm a parent on School-Lunch Monitoring System for Parents · · Score: 1

    My 6yr old son hates pizza and loves veggies. My main concern is whether or not he's actually eating at school, as he tends to be a picky eater. I'd love for the school he attends to implement something like this.

  7. How it works on Tracking a Specific Machine Anywhere On The Net · · Score: 1

    Just to set the record straight. The clock skew referred to in the article would be the amount of time the clock WILL lose or gain over a given period of time. you could receive say 1 packet a second for 30 seconds from one machine, and judge the amount of time lost or gained, and come up w/ an avg percentage of time lost or gained. So, say a machine loses 3ms every 5 seconds. You could then match that number to a list of machines you have already fingerprinted.

    Alot of people seem to think it is referring to the amount of time the clock is actually off from the current time, which really has no bearing on this. The only way ntp would effect this is if it updated the machine time while you were in the middle of processing packets from the machine. Obviously, you'd be able to see this happen in the packets and then start over.

    Yeah, women with sagging breasts aren't very attractive!

  9. Kids these days.. on Whippersnappers Bad-Mouth Old Games · · Score: 2, Funny

    Everytime my son sees a game that I'm playing that he likes, and says "Can I play this when I get older" I say "sure, but the graphics will suck" Starting him off right, I tell ya :) (he's 5).

  10. Re:Holy Fire by Bruce Sterling on Live to be 1000 Years Old? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I'm a good 3/4 of the way through, it's a very good book so far. Definately going to look at other books in the series.

    god damnit, I'm still reading this book and you just ruined it for me!

  13. Re:Farscape is cool on Farscape Returns Sunday · · Score: 1

    Jeremiah is a cool series, too bad it was basically cancelled halfway through the second season.

  14. Mirror on Does Your LCD Play Catch-Up To Your Mouse? · · Score: 4, Informative
  15. Re:Windows installs from bootable CD on The Death of the Floppy Disk · · Score: 1

    However Microsoft still requires additional drivers (for say that nice RAID controller) be loaded from a floppy disk (For Win 2k/XP/XP64 (not sure about 2k3)). This is suppose to change w/ Longhorn, but that's still a couple yrs away.

  17. Re:child abuse on What Are You Looking At? · · Score: 1

    You are giving the police too much credit. They'd much rather do it the long and expensive way.

  18. Re:But how does it work? on Coming Soon to a Wireless Hotspot Near You: Ads · · Score: 1

    my guess would be a transparent proxy via squid or similar package. Thus they can put a wrapper on anything you see.

  20. does it matter? on SCO's Motion to dismiss Red Hat's Complaint Denied · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Just as long as SCO goes under in the end, does it really matter?

  21. Original Tagline still fits on Always Look on the Bright Side of Life · · Score: 2, Funny

    See the movie that's controversial, sacrilegious, and blasphemous. But if that's not playing, see The Life of Brian.

  22. Re:You want a new goddamned standard? on .mail Domain To Eliminate Spam? · · Score: 1

    um, legit mailservers for your domain are already advertised via mx entries in the nslookup (how else would mail get sent to you?).

  23. linuxplanet advertising? on Sun Wants to Make Linux 3D · · Score: 1

    I find it odd that I was presented w/ an ad for MS Windows Server, comparing it's TCO to that of linux, showing that Windows Server TCO is lower than Linux's.

    I realize that they probably have little control over the advertising they display on their site, but come on!

  24. Re:PGP on Time Warner To Comply With Wiretap Law · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've seriously considered offering a service providing ssh tunneling from say, a pc on a cable modem to a server at a remote location, which would then route the traffic as requested. This should be plenty feasible, as you should be able to use ssh tunneling w/ just about any application.

    Now might be a good time to look into this further.

  25. Re:Same goes for any electronics. on Lifting The Lid On Computer Filth · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The only thing you really have to worry about is paper-based transformers... anything else can go right through the dishwasher. Assembly plants do this in order to clean off the flux from wave soldered pcbs. Just make sure everything has dried before attempting to use it.
