  1. Re:Sys Admins Protest! on Tim Bray's Top Twenty Software People in the World · · Score: 1

    I second this protest! Where's Larry Wall?

  2. Why use beowulf? on Linux Clustering · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why use Beowulf when you have openMosix? openMosix is all transparent to your application. You dont have to worry about remote execution, openmosix migrates your process automatically to the best node. Like I said.. it's all transparent and requires no additional programing in your application.

  3. In the Military on The Absolute Worst Working Environment? · · Score: 1

    When I was in the Marines, we would go out into the field for weeks at a time. No matter the weather or time of year. Running around in the woods all day and all night. Getting a few hours sleep at a time. And the sleep was sometimes when you were on ambush when every other person was allowed to sleep. So you would be sleeping on the ground with all the bugs, sometimes in the rain, sleet, or snow. No hot food for days at a time. This was all training and not even war time. You train like you are at war. Mind you there are people out there doing this right now as we speak. I think about it every time I think I got it rough. axehind

    I believe you meant *OSDL* and not *OSDN*.

  5. Re:a secure Microsoft product? on Nominations for 2003 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 1

    Secure against what? It's secure against any admin wanting to administer it already.

  6. Re:Legal implications of counter-attack? NOT! on Using Honeypots to Fight Worms · · Score: 1

    "Joe Average Infected Computer User" doesnt know he has a infected computer and that its accessing someone elses. Where as the honeypot administrator would know that his computer is accessing someone elses without that persons permission.

  7. Re:Illegal on Using Honeypots to Fight Worms · · Score: 1

    I just dont believe this is the solution. I mean it's not going to teach the people that leave there systems vulnerable anything. You have to educate them.

  8. Re:Illegal on Using Honeypots to Fight Worms · · Score: 1

    There is a difference. The person with the virus doesnt know they are infected. It's pretty cut and dry. If I remember right Maxvision did something like this years ago and was convicted and served time for it. axehind

    So your saying 2 wrongs make a right?

  10. Illegal on Using Honeypots to Fight Worms · · Score: 1, Redundant

    and launching counter attacks to clean infected hosts Sounds illegal.... Unauthorized access to someone elses computer comes to mind. axehind

  11. unemployment on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 1

    What did you get from your Company for Christmas?

    Does unemployment give out Christmas bonuses?

  12. Should of.... on Coolest Cluster Ever · · Score: 1

    used openMosix instead. Better performance.

  13. Past anything on Another Millionaire Spammer Story · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "You don't have to be on a Web site at all. You can just have your computer on, connected to the Internet, reading e-mail or just idling and, bam, this program detects your presence and up pops the message on your screen, past firewalls, past anti-spam programs, past anything."

    I'm calling this BS. Isnt this just the windows messaging thing we've already heard about?

  14. 3 times there ISP's turned off there service on The Economics of Spam · · Score: 1

    They still dont think that they are doing anything wrong even after their ISP's cut their service 3 times? Kinda makes you wonder if they know the difference between right and wrong.

  15. Re:2 Microsoft articles in a row on Microsoft Responds to Leaked Memo · · Score: 1

    It's clear to me that, much like most modern elections, the second is indeed the case. Rather than attempting to promote Linux and Open Source as worthwhile competitors, Slashdot and its parent company insist on attacking Microsoft.

    Looks to me like they are just trying to inform slashdot readers to Microsofts business practices.

  19. Re:distributed shared memory on Moshe Bar on Programming, Society, and Religion · · Score: 1
    I just REALLY want to see this happen. I want my own cluster soon and I'd love to see this kind of added preformance

    Alot of people would love this. Me included. But it really is very complex thing to implement. I would guess if it wasnt, it would already have been done. I asked Moshe about it and he said "dsm is a *very* complex project. No commercial, kernel-level, appliation-transparent implementation exists yet from which we can take clues and learn"

  20. Re:Just stop paying them on Disconnecting · · Score: 1

    Good idea. But if your paying by Credit Card I hear that there is no way to stop paying them unless you cancel the card and get a new one.
