  1. Climate Change? on 60,000 Antelope Died In 4 Days, and No One Knows Why · · Score: 1

    Interesting: "their grazing helps get rid of fallen plant matter, which is prevented from decomposing by the cold temperatures". I wonder if bacteria or other pathogen may be thriving because of temperature increases?

  3. Re:Sounds like Cisco's WCCP on How to Work Around Broken Port-80 Routing? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you should check your revisions and look at the boot. The box *IS* Linux (ext2 and Becker eth drivers). Mine sucked until I go the right version. The IOSish interface does suck, but hey, they are going for IOS users. I tried Linux/Squid in its place and it couldn't cut it. Where do you get the BSD angle?

    I just implemented a Cisco CE507 at work. WCCP on our core Cisco router redirects port 80 to the cache engine.

  6. Re:Unstable warning on Linux Kernel 2.3.41 · · Score: 3

    I've been running dev kernels for 2 years now and have never had to hack 'real C'. Yes things get broken, but I watch the linux-kernel mailing list and submit a bug report if I can't find the answer there. Some times its not the code thats broken, but new undocumented proceedures for setup. I test and report, and get a jump new setups. With lilo setup to boot multi versions of the kernel, I can fall back if things are badley broken.

    If you can test, do! We all benifit in the end.

  7. SMP support on Ask John Carmack About Quake - or Anything Else · · Score: 1

    John,

    You've stated in your .plan that SMP in Windows was working nicely. Are you still planning full SMP support for Linux, or is this a better question for Zoid?

    [snip]
    Windows NT supports true remote printing. When Windows NT and Windows 95 clients connect to a correctly configured Windows NT print server, the printer driver is automatically installed on the client computer. If you install a newer printer driver on the server, Windows NT client computers automatically download the newer printer driver. However, if you install a newer printer driver for Windows 95 clients on a print server, users running Windows 95 must manually update the printer driver to have the newer version copied to their computers

    You just don't *see* it happen.

    ***BIZZZT!!!*** Try again!

    The drivers *are* on the local workstation. They are just auto-magicly downloaded and installed from the NT/Win5x server. Microsoft calls it "Point and Print". I'm trying to setup printers on NT at work, but PaP is not cooperating. More like "Point and Where is your driver disk?". And yes the Win9x files have been loaded on the server.

  10. Re:More truth than fiction on Why geek geniuses may lack social graces · · Score: 2

    My daughter (8) is also Asbergers, and the use of scripted fragments always amazed and amused us when she was younger. Most of the time to understand her you had to have seen the movie/show she had seen to understand her meaning. It always reminded of the SNG episode where Picard was standed with a alien race that spoke only in metaphors. Now she has focused on dogs, as in AKA breeds and classes. She excels in math and written langauge. But she does not know how to converse with her peers.

    Some time back I saw Temple Grandin (autistic with a PHD in animal Science and the designer of many of the large animal handling processes used in meat packing plants) when she told of her visit to NASA. After a tour and meeting many of the engineers, she came to the conclution that NASA was just "a big club-house for autistics".

  13. Re:Samba to become obsolete - or not? on Review:Samba: Integrated UNIX and Windows · · Score: 1

    SMB and Netbios are not going anywhere. Windows 2000 adds "enhancements" to the current WINS (based on NBNR or NetBiosNameService) name resolution, which is based on SMB and Netbios, coupled with names derived from DHCP.

    The fun part for the Samba crew is to incorperate the functions added by ADS....

  14. So much for honest discussion on Open discussion of Linux Limitations · · Score: 1

    From my expirence, Linux and ext2 let you know something is wrong with your hardware *before* it goes south. Example: A friend tried to install Linux on a older hard drive he had laying around. During mkfs it complanied about the disk 'delaminating' and aborted the install, so he gave up and installed Win95 (which went without a hitch). Three weeks later the drive failed completly (without warning from win95).

  15. kppp on The Road To Linux -- The Summit, but not the Peak · · Score: 1

    If I remember right, when kppp says the ppp daemon died unexpectantly, you need to edit the /etc/ppp/options and remove "lock".
