  1. I wonder.... on Lindows Releases Inexpensive Subnotebook · · Score: 1

    if I could install Windows on it? It is a pretty cheap for such a LIGHT sub notebook. Get an old Win98 install CD and....

  2. Review of Lindows on Lindows Releases Inexpensive Subnotebook · · Score: 2, Informative

    In case you haven't seen any reviews of Lindows, a recent review can be found here.

  3. Re:at 2:30 PST, it is up to 8 million. eom on Cracker Gains Access to 2.2 Million Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    Yup.. seems like the different amounts are for different _types_ of cards.

    2.2 mil was Mastercard. 5.x mil was Visa others are getting it up to 8 million....

    sheesh.

  4. Actually over 5 million cards... on Cracker Gains Access to 2.2 Million Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    Latest estimates are 5.6 million card numbers...

    source: CNN Money

    I wonder if this estimate is bound to rise again?

  5. Re:"Software Programmers" on Realistic Portrayals of Software Programmers? · · Score: 1

    For the record, in my submission I used the term "developer", not programmer. It got changed in the "editorial" process.

  6. Re:Two problems with Intuit on TurboTax DRM Writes to Your Boot Sector?! · · Score: 1

    If I keep my tax records in Inuit's software, I cannot be reasonably certain that I will be able to produce them on demand.

    So just print out the forms and store them. TurboTax can be used to recreate the forms at anytime, but there is nothing keeping you from printing out a copy of all the forms and keeping them to meet the federal law you are refering to.

    You can be reasonably certain that this would be just as good as if you did them with pencil and paper.

  7. Re:In marketing speak on Qiuet Keyboards with Tactile Feedback? · · Score: 1

    I have one of those Dell Keyboards in my spare parts pile, and I see someone has them at 5 for $1 on ebay.

    5 DELL AT101W Keyboards on Ebay

  8. So did anyone make any $ on the stock? on Microsoft Antitrust Judgement · · Score: 1

    Looks like this information was leaked out by the links above before the official announcement. The stock shot up big after hours when the official news hit. Did any slashdotter's take advantage of the leak?

  9. Re:Patronise the good guys! on Freeing the Specs? · · Score: 1

    Elsewhere on Slashdot is an article about Nvidia drivers for BSD http://bsd.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/09/16/18 55253&mode=nested&tid=152

  10. Re:Buy it cheaper at half.com or bookpool.com on SSH, The Secure Shell · · Score: 1

    An even cheaper way to get it (or the information in it) is from O'Reilly's Safari electronic book site. Less than $10 per month for several books, and it is searchable, etc. and you can print out key sections if you want... Safari Books Online

  11. Re:Can't have it both ways on Rogers Cable Plans Fees to Curb Bandwith Hogs · · Score: 1

    No, the article you refer to wasn't "to thwart users who set up in house lans and do NAT", it was for people you share cable access _with_neighbors_. something you'd know if you'd read it.

  12. Better late than never... on Enterprise Linux: Are We There Yet? · · Score: 1

    Of course I posted this days ago and was rejected. Oh well.

  13. IpTables/Netfilter article on Migrating from IPChains to Netfilters? · · Score: 1

    This months SysAdmin magazine has an article on Netfilter. Link to article
