  1. Wonderful news on OpenBSD Lands $2 Million In DARPA Money · · Score: 1
    But if he is so uncomfortable with it, maybe he should redirect it.

    If he is selling 8000 copies of BSD a year, that works out to $320,000 for just the CDs. I know that doesn't include the "cost" of making them, but he does charge for shipping as well. Not to mention all of the other BSD items he sells.

    Not a bad living. And it would suggest he doesn't "need" the money.

  2. I would have liked to read the document... on Using OpenBSD's chrooted Apache · · Score: 1
    But due to the really slow down load, and then then file being corrupt (according to my pdf reader).

    I'm not trying again...

    I'm truly suprised that someone hasn't come up with a hack like this for TIVO...

    Or have I missed something?

  6. Obfuscated code on Do You Write Backdoors? · · Score: 1
    If I wanted to put in a back door, I would do it with obfuscated code myself...

    But I don't program as a career...

    Vinum is the software/mod I know of

  8. What about BSD? on Managing RAID on Linux · · Score: 1
    Do they cover BSD software RAID

    I think books like these should be topical oriented rather tha OS oriented.

    Or am I asking too much?

  10. Re:Dell not selling Linux laptops on Robin's Report From LWCE · · Score: 1
    Why not install the LSB sample implementation (not dist specific) and then allow the customer to customize it from there?

    Seems the most logical to me... But what do I know, I'm just a UN*X geek

  11. Where I work... on Microsoft Shows Off Watch, Portable Media Player · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I can't get a FM signal to my desk...

    So does this mean I'll have to go outside to get the time?

    ...Why my auto insurance is so high!

    The automotive insurance companies must use the same "math", and since my car is so fast they are charging me like I have two (possible three :-) )...

    ...I feel much better now

  13. Re:Scary Implementation on IBM, AT&T and Intel Plan National Wireless ISP · · Score: 2, Informative
    FYI:
    AT&T sold UNIX to Novell...

    UNIX was split into three parts upon leaving Novell. The UNIX trademark was transferred to an industry consortium, the X/Open group, (now just The Open Group) for certifying UNIX implementations as standard. The source base was sold to Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) who sold SVR4 on Intel hardware alongside their traditional Xenix-like SCO-UNIX offering. Hewlett-Packard got the operating system laboratory, which became mired in internal politics when asked to design the eventual replacement for HP's UNIX, HP-UX. Eventually the remaining employees were absorbed into the broader HP Corporation.

    Depends on the processors installed in the system.

    Sun was (is?) having alot of problems with the cache on the 400Mhz/8M processor modules, irrespective of what "system" they are installed in.

  18. Good! on Tivo and SonicBlue Settle Dispute · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they are going to survive, it should be based on thier systems individual merits, not who has the deepest pocket book and/or best lawyer.

  24. I think this is what is needed! on Xandros 1.0 · · Score: 1, Interesting
    I just recommended it to a very good friend of mine who owns his own businesses.

    He likes to run his own systems, and I've taught him Novell and Windows over the course of about 10 years. He's now fairly capable.

    I've been extolling the virtues of Linux to him for sometime now. And with this release, I'm fairly confident he can manage this release of Linux by himself, which is his goal!

    As soon as the /.ing is over, he'll be buying it...

  25. My Q is... on Using MAC Address to Uniquely Identify Computers · · Score: 2, Interesting
    How is the software getting the MAC?

    As stated about "changing the MAC" is really just having the OS report a different MAC than the one burned into the network card. However, is it not possible to query the physical card vs. the OS?

    If they are doing it that way, then there won't be any cheating.

    It is thier network, and they can take thier computers and "go home" if they wish.
