  1. Re:Finally on Progeny Debian Release Candidate 1 · · Score: 1

    Ever saw a K6 run Win 2k?
    Mine runs Debian.
    Also, mine is free.

    And guess what, debian's unstable is just as stable as redhat's stable's is unstable.

    Boy, you really know how to copy and paste, don't you? I mean, you must be some sort of elite ctrl+c ctrl+v freak.

    Not only they claim to do so, but they do. Fire up Lopster and you'll see that they have 40 servers linked together.

    I run Word 2000 in a K6 233 with 64 MB of RAM. It works.

    Actually, "diablo" means "devil" in spanish. I just can't see how you can say you own a generic word.

  7. "Precedent" on Blizzard Sues Over Diablo Movie Title · · Score: 1

    (...)and what kind of precedent would this set if they were to win?"

    Well, I think we'd never see movies like "Broken Windows" or "The Bitten Apple"...

  8. Breaking the $1000 barrier.. on Want a Sparc Workstation for $995? · · Score: 1

    The Sun Blade[tm] 100 workstation provides a 500-MHz UltraSPARC[tm]-IIe processor, 2 GB maximum memory, Solaris[tm] 8 Operating Environment, two graphics card options, and four monitor options. With an introductory price of $995, the Sun Blade 100 workstation is an affordable, workstation-class, 64-bit UNIX[R] platform.

    Wow... Really destroys the $1000 barrier! Now we can buy sparcs and have a few beers after.

  9. Very interesting on Want a Sparc Workstation for $995? · · Score: 1

    Good to see that Sun is making such a good machine available at a reasonable price. I'd change from x86 to sparc instantly for that price... BTW, I wonder if they're going to sell that in Brazil? Would it already come with Solaris?

    Obviously, what I was saying is that you have the legal right to get that audio back, whether you download an mp3, or copy your buds' cd, whatever. You have the right to the songs in a record.

    Quick question: I own the disc. My little brother crashes the disc. Don't I have the right to, somehow, get that audio back?

  13. Brief question on OpenNaps Targeted; Gnutella "Validated" · · Score: 1

    Now that napster seems to be ill-fated for good, which services do you think that could replace it in a "reasonable" way? I mean, opennap is still available (for now..) and there is gnutella, but I've never found anything besides opennap servers to be as good as the mainstream napster servers. Do you happen to know some file-sharing service that might replace napster one day?

    Not when you have an extremely large website. Consider the fact that a site that has lots of stuff compressed gets /. all the sudden. How about that?

  18. Re:Well, my thoughts on Auto-Suicide for Grey Market Electronics? · · Score: 1

    I thought something like that. What if you live near the border that separates a region from another, and that distance is so small that the GPS might misunderstand what region you're in? For that and a billion other reasons, I think this scheme is pure bullshit. Instead of just developing ways to stop piracy, they could stop raising prices, which would help a lot more.

    Man, I think that, besides your post being off-topic, you're just ignoring other high-quality distributions, like Debian (which I use), that have very smooth updates, besides other things that make it the best in the moment.

  22. Re:Permanent compressed filesystem support on Kernel 2.4.2 Released · · Score: 1

    On a busy webserver, if you compress those, you'll end up wasting much more processing power than you'd need if the files were uncompressed. Think about large sites like NASA's having everything compressed-decompressed... Insane.

    UPX is great for executables compression.
