  1. Re:Mod Back Up on Dell to Ship Linux Desktops in Europe · · Score: 1

    Like the DoJ? And the European anti-trust prosecutors? Interestingly enough. MS got CONVICTED on both counts. They don't allegedly do these things, they have been proven in court to do these things.

  2. Re:Why isnt there an IE skin? on Getting Your Company to Migrate from IE? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here it is.

    I've used it many times. Switch the icon for Firefox to IE. Install Luna. Done.

  3. Re:Funding.... on When Think Tanks Attack · · Score: 1

    Since when was news media supposed to be unbiased. Having an unbiased media is like having an uncorrupt gov't. In the case of media it is best to have opposing biased views. And in the case of gov't checks and balances.

  4. Re:What if a program posted TV straight to Usenet? on Streaming Your Cable TV Over the Net? · · Score: 1

    MPEG is a packetized format. Just write a program that waits for X bytes to come into the file, reads it and posts. The people can watch the chunks as they come in.

  5. Re:Naming for normals? on Deep Inside the K Desktop Environment · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Clearly, SAFARI means Web Browser. I highly doubt people aren't running Linux because they can't remember that Konqueror is the browser.

  6. April of this year? on PlayStation 2 Sales Double Following Price Cut · · Score: 0

    since the ... "launch of the Microsoft console in the April this year." April? Is it just me or has MS been shipping Xboxes for a few years now?

  7. Software? on Renderfarm Setup Tips? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What render queue products are supported by your pieces of software? Why don't you try a few of them?
    I'm sure a demo can be arranged.
    I wouldn't go blindly marching in the direction of FOSS especially in something that is valuable enough to setup a renderfarm for.

    Most importantly, find out what the people who will be using the software like and dislike about each package. And what works for them. If it saves you $30 per hour times 5 people software and hardware cost become insignifigant after one work week.

    The biggest renderfarm in the world is useless if your people can't use it. Always remember that software is only good in its ability to meet the goals of the organization it supports.

  8. Move. on Overcoming MAPS Reverse-Lookup Oppression? · · Score: 0

    Move to a service provider who takes action against open relay SMTPs. Once enough people move from that provider they will eliminate their spam problem.

  9. Re:Personally... on Geeks and Poker? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you miss 2 cards an hour the house regains its advantage. So, they will only kick you out if you are doing it well.

  10. Re:Remember one simple little fact on Regenerated Nerve Cells Let Rats Walk Again · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why not protest rat poison before research? I'm just guessing rat posion kills a hell of alot more rats than research.

  11. Re:I smell lawsuits, how about you? on Indiana First With Computerized Grading · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think you've taken one to many collage level english classes my friend.

  13. Google Bombing on Indiana First With Computerized Grading · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I can't wait til someone figures out how to google bomb the grading system.
    I wonder if it will be as simple as repeating a high ranking sentence?

  14. A better way on Safe and Insecure? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is to run a public AP. /. does the same thing, they refuse to log so that the logs cannot be used to incriminate people. A public AP turns you into a transport provider instead of a liable agent. No one is going to go after the library for what offenses are caused there because they merely provide transit. Yeah your ISP will stil disconnect you but you will stay out of jail.

  15. Re:This is annoying. on iTunes 4.5 Authentication Cracked · · Score: 4, Insightful

    First Sale Doctorine. You can do what you want with things you purchase.

    Ever feel the warmth of the sun? Lots comes of nuclear fusion.

  17. authpf? on Port Knocking in Action · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why use port knocking. It is no more secure than plain-text passwords. Use authpf. authpf can be set as the shell so when a user logs in authpf just changes the firewall rules.

  18. Re:Look closely at the hardware, too! on Gigabit Networking for the Home? · · Score: 3, Informative

    PCI is MegaBYTES per second. So, PCI is capable of 1330 MegaBITS per second.

  19. Horde? on Hosting Services with DBCS-Enabled Webmail? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think Horde provides DBCS support. I know it certainly supports a japanese interface. They seem to have lots of i18n support so I would imagine it works.

    No kidding. Where was the /. uprising against the gov't repremanding MS for having a monopoly? Regulation is regulation.

    English is something that has been absolutely ruined by standardization. If English were standardized I would know that you meant imbecile and not wasted my time trying to figure out what an imbasole is. Also, if you want to argue about spelling in accordance with pronunciation check dictionary.com and find out that no one except George Bush would pronounce the word "imbasole".

    The next rovers are already slated to run Linux.

    All you need to rewrite is the executable loader, and the memory allocator.

  25. Re:what a drag on AMD Could Profit from Buffer-Overflow Protection · · Score: 4, Insightful

    All it is is on extra bit in the pagetable that check whether the memory region is W^X (write or execute). This kind of thing usually requires a bit of operating system magic to make it work. i386 already has W^X protection, it just isn't enabled by most OS's.
