  1. VIA Eden platform! on Small Footprint PCs? · · Score: 1
    Its about the size of a novel. http://forums.viahardware.com Check out the small form factor forum. Most of these machines are so small and cool they need no cooling.

    Up to 800mhz too! You can buy them here The ITX motherboard format is the way to go. Shuttle has offerings in the area too.

    When I was in DC, in 92 or so, the Smithsonian ran a Star Trek Exhibit.


    I distinctly recall the chair being in it.


    I just googled for it, and the exhibit is the number 2 question in the faq

  5. Re:This is perfect on Nintendo Drops GameCube Price to $150 · · Score: 2

    It may seem childish, but Super Monkey Ball is one of the best games I have ever played, and it is so simple to play that my Dad (who cannot use a web browser) was teaching my 70 year old great Aunt and Uncle to play...

    Most of the games in it have two buttons. Move & Do. And the main game only has one of those. The main game plays kinda like Marble Madness, but a lot more fun.

    Plus, It is funny as hell to watch drunk or stoned people play.

  6. Re:The series finale was pretty good. on The Truth Revealed · · Score: 1

    I personally think they did a good job of showing subtle doubt in Kirsch's face during the trial. There are atleast 2 scenes where you could see he had second thoughts.

    I apologize, it was actually a parody of typical comment about him. Unfortunatly the smiley was evidently not enough to distinguish that.

    Maybe I should have user a ;) instead.

    Some members of both the Free and Open Source movements are personally committed to non-conformity at the expense of credibility with typically conservative IT decision makers.

    What sort of video does this have? I have been wanting an ultraportable machine that I can still FPS on. (with it plugged into a wall of course)

  12. You CRT can be primary on an XP laptop... on Multiple Monitors for Linux Laptops? · · Score: 1

    Funny, I use XP on a laptop, and my 21in external monitor is my primary display.

    If your video driver supports it, go to "Display Properties", "Settings", "Advanced" and there will generally be a multiple monitors tab. (named different depending on the vendor) You can use radio buttons on the ATI drivers to switch which is primary.

    ATI and NVIDIA chipsets both support this, but your particular drivers may not. I load the ATI drivers from Dell on my Gateway and it works fine.

  13. To fix the dhcp / pcmcia error in the article... on Sorcerer Review, and News of Impending Doom · · Score: 2, Informative

    edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts
    say "y" to DHCP
    blank the static values.

    Remove the networking scripts from the other run levels, since the pcmcia script starts networking for you. (both S and K, in the /etc/rc#.d dirs...)

    ln -s /sbin/dhcpcd /usr/sbin/dhcpcd so the pcmcia script can find dhcp.

    run:
    /sbin/dhcpcd -k
    /sbin/dhcpcd

    reboot
    viola, magic.

    I just submitted a minor fix for the install script relating to this yesterday =)

    Why does everyone think that there will be no Solaris 9 x86? Sun has never said that.

    Even Sun is saying the release is defered.

  19. Enterprise Grade IDS on Future Of IDS · · Score: 1

    I am the network and systems security administrator of a fortune 500 company that sells paperclips, and I can tell you that running snort in a major enterprise that has over 2000+ subnets is a joke.

    Simply aggregating the data from that many networks is a hassle, even if I only do it from the Internet and Store facing networks. Correlating data produced by Snort when you have over 20 gigs of aggregate backbone traffic is completely unreasonable.

    I heartily recommend ISS Real Secure Network Sensor. I am in the process of deploying 230 Network Sensor and Host Sensor agents. With the addition of the "Black Ice" technology, acquired when they purchased Network Ice, it is the best solution on the market.

    With their new Site Protector console, Data from all agents is correlated with scans performed by ISS Internet Scanner (works like CyberCop Scanner, or Nessus) and I don't get alerted if a system is not vulnerable!

    I can add new systems, run an Internet Scanner scan once a week, and rest easy that if I get paged at 1am, a hacker really has breached the gates...

    If Site Protector does not provide enough data correlation for you, you can get netForensics self titled product, or Open Systems Private Eye, and correlate the ISS data with your Cisco IDS's, Checkpoint and PIX firewalls, VPN boxes and routers.

    While Snort is great to see what is coming into my house, I would never deploy it in an enterprise where your security administrators want to do more than sift IDS logs...

    Open source requires that you get the source with the binaries.

    Open source companies are not required to distribute source to people who do not own the app.

    Remember when Yellow Dog Linux last released?
    There was a huge discussion about that here.
