  1. Re:Skip Linux altogether on Linux Source Distribution for Firewalls? · · Score: 1

    >And I've been informed that iptables are not stateful without a kernel patch.
    You have been misinformed. Check www.netfilter.org and see that it is stateful out of the box.

  2. Re:Filesystem reform is not neccessarily bad on GoboLinux Rethinks The Linux Filesystems · · Score: 1

    /usr dos not stand for "user" but for "unix system resources". Although i sometimes think it could be that it was all a communist conspiracy and /usr was meant to be called /ussr . Damn typos.

  3. Re:Astronomer. Figures on Top Physicist Advocates Scientific Self-Censorship · · Score: 1

    Astrophysics is deeply interconnected with e.g. particle and high-energy physics, so his branch would be restricted, too.

  4. Re:Opportunities Lost..... on 10 Years of the World Wide Web · · Score: 1

    Nope, i won't. But i am reading "Das Kapital" by Karl Marx right now, does that count?

  5. Re:looks like a messy "debate" on MPlayer Licence Trouble With A Twist · · Score: 2, Informative

    My Debian machines will still have mplayer on it regardless of what Debian decides to include in their distro, but the fact remains that what goes into a Debian distro is entirely up to the Debian folks. Poking at them on the list isn't going to (and shouldn't) change that... Sure, but this messy flamewar might make some people in debian's legal team have another look at mplayer and the patent issue(what this is all about, not the binary distribution...), and start a useful discussion, which has already started at the time i write this, btw. The beginning of a real disussion is imho about there: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-l egal-200301/msg00153.html So what do we have now? A gory stupid flamewar that was the ignition to something which might end in the inclusion of mplayer in debian. Of course it might as well just not get included, but who knows?

  6. Re:Why large files on Large File Problems in Modern Unices · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ever heard of something like movie-editing? You can get huge files really fast.

  7. Re:all those nice spacebabes on Venus... on SOHO Strikes Back · · Score: 1

    If any babes are for geeks, what else than venusian spacebabes could they possibly be? And if you think that no babes at all are for geeks, how do you think they reproduce? Raelan cloning?

  8. Of course they deny it on SOHO Strikes Back · · Score: 3, Funny

    It is because they want to keep all those alien gadgets to themselves. And think of all those nice spacebabes on Venus they would have to share with the rest of the world.

  9. Re:Chip-zapping ideas? on Michelin to Include RFID Transmitter in Every Tire · · Score: 1

    Of course you can zap the chip, but then you've lost your warranty. :) The next time you want an oil-exchange, they are going to change your tires, too, and charge you for that.

  10. Re:easy fix on Has the RIAA Wormed 95% of P2P Networks? · · Score: 1

    That is of no use. You would have to run xmms as another user, it does not matter who owns the music files.

  11. Re:one of the best linux distributions? on Debian Desktop Subproject Launched · · Score: 1

    Actually, Pi is quite boring. It's all about circles. The Euler Number, now that's a cool number. You can do a lot of funny stuff with it.
