  1. Configurability on Sun Drops Sawfish for Metacity · · Score: 1

    I really liked sawfish for having so much configuration possibilities.

    But metacity ist really fast. One thing that keeps me from using it: Clicking into a window raises it. I can't with this. I want a window to be raised, when I tell it so (clicking on the title bar with the right mouse button).

  2. Flooded name servers... on W2K and MAC OS9 Flood Root Nameservers? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I know these problems. In my small ISP company, we ar running our own nameserver.

    The logs are flooded from rejected name server updates (several hundreds a day).

    They are mostly coming from misconfigured W2K servers from our customers, running their intranet with DHCP and using the same domain as in the real net.

    Sadly, we contacted the administrator, but he didn't have a clue what I was talking about (they're justig running windows on their server because they know windows...)

    Usually I would suggest to use an internal domain name that doesn't exist in the internet and just "masquerade" the mail domains. So resolving internal addresses from extern fails if some information slips out and the internal servers won't resolve some external name server to contact when an internal server should be.

  3. Re:Question on The Problem Of Developing · · Score: 1

    Well, this isn't that funny.

    AFAIK the mono (www.ximian.com) .NET compiler is written in C# and compiles itself.

  4. Re:AES? on Factoring Breakthrough? · · Score: 1

    AES and DES are symmetric ciphers

    Factoring prime numbers isn't the problem here.

  5. GTK+-2.0 on GNOME 2.0 Beta · · Score: 1

    The development version von GTK+ (v1.3) is incredibly slow for me.

    I suppose it has something to do with it's new double buffering mechanism.

    I personally think it makes it really unusable. Klicking around and XFree takes up to 100% CPU.

    Has it something to do with a buggy XFree driver or is it a general problem? (tdfx driver)

  6. with Linux? on Manually-Confirgured Software RAID Under NT? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How does NT stripe? Some blocks on the first disk, some blocks on the next, some on the first, ... without any metadata at the beginning?

    Then this should be fairly easy. Find out which block size is used, boot from some linux rescue CD and initialize a software raid without persistent superblock. After that you should be able to mount the NTFS partition (at least for reading) and copy everything off it.

    If there is some data before the actual partition, you can use the loop device with the offset parameter to skip the junk.

  7. Re:sigh on Apache Tomcat 4.0 Final Released · · Score: 1

    You're right with this backend thing, but JSP is still overkill for the frontend. And not well suited. PHP gives you a lot of functions for interacting with the browser. Sure some JSP/Servlet implemtations offer you some help classes/methods, but... bah (I ported a complicated PHP frontend to JSP and it took me several days. Much more code than before, harder to understand, needed to search several third party libs).
    My favorite way:
    A classic java backend, a multithreaded CORBA server, exposing the interface via IDL files (Stuck with JDK1.3.0 because the JDK1.3.1 ORB is totally incompatible).
    PHP can communicate with this backend even when it's on another server, multiple servers, etc...
