    Freenet uses a randomly selected port number. Try filtering that! :)

    Ouch, that makes my eyes hurt if I stare at it too long...

  3. Re:Actually oil makes it water proof on Oil-Cooling 802.11 Infrastructure · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oil floats on water. Electronics usually sink. Problem? You decide.

    Use some other tools and/or services then. They're not the only system. Or write your own update notifier and hire someone for support.

    No:


    torus

    n 1: a ring-shaped surface generated by rotating a circle around

    an axis that does not intersect the circle [syn: {toroid}]



    Basically a donut-shape. It's the shape of a fusion reactor - you line it with magnets to constrict the plasma.

    There are alternatives to RHN. Gentoo has emerge -U world. Debian has apt-get. Mandrake has... something. Why would you need RHN specifically?

    What, like this?

    That's why they invented 'Open Source' - to keep the suits from being confused.

    I just hope they'll continue to release community editions ala Redhat8...
    If they stop, just switch to another, like Debian, Mandrake, or (my personal favorite) Gentoo. That's one of the strengths of Linux. If Microsoft discontinued XP Home, you'd have no choice but to but XP Pro. Not so here.
  11. Re:quite possibly a stupid question... on The Internship That Students Drool Over · · Score: 1
    My understanding, with dealing with various MS employees, is that they're not allowed to see ANY source code if it doesn't have a license attached.
    Open source has a licence attached. :)

    Isn't the point to run windows, not in in windows?

    Hey, all that sheet metal flying towards the torus has to do some damage, right?

    Better yet:

    Good idea. In the meantime, view this PNG with any of these apps. I promise it won't be a security problem - as long as you've already recompiled *all* of them

    I assume it uses newer but compatible versions of the support files (e.g. zlib) if available?

  23. Re:DLL vs static libs on Microsoft to End DLL Confusion · · Score: 1

    Load time. Many programs need several megabytes of data that might as well be preloaded (e.g. libc). Now imagine a webserver where hundreds of processes are spawned every second - do you want to reload it each time?
