  1. Re:NNTP is copiable on Slash 2.2.0 Released · · Score: 0

    Are you implying that you can't store subscription content in a web cache?

    Webcaches store HTTP requests, not *NNTP*.

  2. Re:NNTP is copiable on Slash 2.2.0 Released · · Score: 0

    People have been viewing web pages from behind proxy servers like Squid for years. I don't believe that there's a fundamental difference.

    The difference is that if /. ever opens a NNTP server, it will be subscription-based.

  3. Re:*This* is why open source works on One-Machine Linux Cluster · · Score: 0

    If the DDK allows you to do that (I believe that a gook DDK API should allow you to change process management behavior), then it's a "normal" task.

    Because he's got access to the source he's been able to do something novel with it in what appears to be an efficient and simple way...you couldn't do that with any of the closed source OSes out there today!

    You're being waaay too partial here: You can always accomplish any "normal" task if the OS provides you a good API or DDK.

    ...MSN's script fails to parse Opera's default user-agent string and generates an ASP script error. That's why changing 1 char allows you to use Opera.

    After multiple chkdsk's and defrag's (many of which caused spontaneous reboots in the middle before finishing), I still don't have the problem figured out.

    What a great admin you are, huh?
    I can picture this kind of conversation in your "job":
    John: Joe, the computer is not working properly.
    Joe: Let's call matty, he will defrag the disk for you.
    Anyway, i think you should start reading about logs, knowledge base, MANUALS, drivers, event viewer, you know (i don't think so, muaahahaahah).

    wonder if there's any GPL issues, as the source is not free (from what I can tell.)

    Why? It's impossible to code a Emacs clone w/o stealing code? I don't think so.

  15. Re:Airport security on Slashback: Retail, Preparedness, Games · · Score: 0

    I've walked through the metal detectors at Detroit Metro, with two sets of keyrings, my sunglasses, and about 10-15 dollars of loonies and toonies(bigger than your US dollar coins), and not set the alarm off. There were 10 keys total on the keyring, and the change is a fair mass, along with the sunglasses.

    Any space left for a couple of hammers or something?

  16. Re:Missing documentation on Opposing Open Source? · · Score: 0
    When I wanted good documentation I had to go out and buy it -- either from the vendor like in the case of MSDN
    That's not true, the *documentation* part (MSDN is not just about docs) of MSDN is free and it is available online. So the answer to "what documentation did you get with the Microsoft software?" is: Manuals and everything you can download from technet and MSDN, wich is *a lot* of stuff.

    That's why I think that wireless tech should be improved and that's why wireless will be the future.
    The FBI will LOVE this. Wireless is a snap to sniff. That is, unless you are talking about small, independent networks, which are hardly an alternative to the current net.

    Really? With smart (maybe p2p-like?) wireless networks, FBI sniffers will have to cover the entire US territory, because this kind of communication is not centralized.
