  1. This is a new low in slashdot history on NASA's Cool Robot of the Week · · Score: 1

    Corgratulations. I didn't think it could be done, but we made a story out of referrer logs.

  2. Re:Ummm.... on Pentagon Wants IPv6 by 2008 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, as long as you don't assign any to photons...

  3. Re:Linux? on Microsoft Kills Off Mac IE, Blames Safari · · Score: 1

    It's inevitable. Linux has better access to the underlying hardware.

  4. Re:Be gentle to the mirrors on Linux Kernel 2.4.21 Released · · Score: 1

    You can back out patches, you know :)

  5. Re:Be gentle to the mirrors on Linux Kernel 2.4.21 Released · · Score: 1

    Use ftp.countrycode.kernel.org - e.g. ftp.us.kernel.org. Most won't be swamped with requests. Also, the .us one has 27 DNS round-robin mirrors, so that will probably always work...

  6. Re:heres how to compile the kernel on Linux Kernel 2.4.21 Released · · Score: 1

    Don't forget:
    make modules modules_install

  7. Re:Looks good.. on Linux Kernel 2.4.21 Released · · Score: 1

    ftp.us.kernel.org is a DNS round-robin for 27 hosts, some with multiple OC3's. Try slashdotting *that*!

  8. Re:Bad Links??? on Sun Opens Java.net · · Score: 1

    If there's no http://, it must be interpreted as a relative link. Mozilla 1.2.1 correctly does this, and apparently so does safari.

  9. Re:...and no pop-under ads... on Wal-Mart Enters NetFlix's Business · · Score: 1

    My browser dosen't allow that sort of thing.

  10. Re:blogtorrent? on A Blog With Unlimited Bandwidth (Beta 1.2) · · Score: 1

    They need to update. A torrent is static.

  11. Re:blogtorrent? on A Blog With Unlimited Bandwidth (Beta 1.2) · · Score: 1

    True. But this won't help with a blog.

  12. Re:More lasers! on Investigating Angular Velocity · · Score: 1

    Won't help with a data CD, and could waste space.

  13. Re:blogtorrent? on A Blog With Unlimited Bandwidth (Beta 1.2) · · Score: 1

    No. A torrent can only transfer one file. Also, it's limited by the tracker, and the .torrent file distribution.

  14. Wrong. on Investigating Angular Velocity · · Score: 2

    That's something else entirely, which you would've known if you compared the URLs.

  15. Re:More lasers! on Investigating Angular Velocity · · Score: 1

    No. It's hard to get the lasers to line up when their sections meet - this is why you can't resume after buffer overruns without gaps.

  16. Re:EXE compressor? on FEAD Compressing Compressed Files by 50-75%? · · Score: 1

    No. If you compress something twice, no matter the methods used, the second time is unlikely to give any benifit.

  17. This is a plot to make us subscribe on Ask ReiserFS Project Leader Hans Reiser · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    First we'll ask the question, then we'll be made to pay $25...

  18. Re:Owned on Ximian Desktop 2, Evolution Released · · Score: 1

    How do you know if the root servers' entries were poisoned? *That* would be the holy grail.

  19. Torrent link? on Ximian Desktop 2, Evolution Released · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Anyone have a bittorrent for this one?

  20. Re:Owned on Ximian Desktop 2, Evolution Released · · Score: 1

    It grabs the page at go.ximian.com, which is a shellscript, and runs it. Since it's at ximian.com, you might as well trust it.

  21. Re:Undetectable file sharing on 43 Million Americans Use P2P Software · · Score: 1
    Too bad it won't compile:

    waste $ make
    g++ -O2 -s -pipe -march=pentiumpro -c -o connection.o connection.cpp
    connection.cpp: In member function `long unsigned int
    C_Connection::get_interface()':

  22. Re:Russ! on ESR Recasts Jargon File in Own Image · · Score: 1

    Only one of them was a kook, and everybody just kept him away from anything fragile and/or valuable.

    Not everything, apparently.
  23. Re:big deal on Build Your Own Computer · · Score: 1

    We all know that algebra is the only true science, everyone else just makes various useful models using it.

  24. Re:why "financial"? on Yet Another Windows Worm · · Score: 1

    The work contains a list of domains belonging to financial institution, and goes to extra lengths if it's in one of them.

  25. Re:BugBear then goes searching for a modem on Yet Another Windows Worm · · Score: 1
    All modems are set to dial out only.
    Bugbear dials out. Also, I hope you've blocked .com, .bat, and .pif as well as .exe.
