  1. If you can't beat them, run... on Microsoft Researching Patent Law with New Experts · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    We need some kind of underground network, where everyone is unknown, untraceable and unaccountable.
    I wonder if it exists.

  2. Re:Comin' a rain... on LokiTorrent Shut Down · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Comin' a rain... on LokiTorrent Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Not my fault if Coralise isn't working. Try meta.fshell.org

  4. Re:Comin' a rain... on LokiTorrent Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Some kind of anonymous, underground internet, you mean? http://meta.fshell.org.nyud.net:8090/

  5. Re:Bill's pet project on Strategy Shift In The Air For Microsoft · · Score: 2, Funny
    Bill is seriously into the handheld device

    That sounds like the sort of spam I get.

  6. Re:Logo != Mascot on FreeBSD Announces Contest To Replace Daemon Logo · · Score: 1
    I hope FreeBSD is doing the same. I think it's pretty reasonable, given the amount of religious nuts out there.

    Yet again, we tolerate their craziness. Yet they seek to put their nose in everywhere it is not wanted.
    I will sign the keep the old logo petition, not because I use FBSD, but because I dislike meddling.

  7. Drop the keyboard on Most Common Ways to Kill a PC · · Score: 1

    I was logged in as root once, and the keyboard fell on the floor, and it managed to press rm / -rf somehow.
    Oh, alright, it didn't. But it would be amazing though.

  8. Future versions of the GPL on Moglen's Plans to Upgrade the GPL · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I dislike it when projects say "This is under the GPL v2, or any subsequent version." Imagine if an evil company bought out the rights to create the GPL (could it happen?), and released a GPL v99 that said whatever they wanted.
    I think any lawyer would never advise you to agree to something whereby you accept any future versions.

  9. Re:Bill Gates doodles... on Bill Gates Handwriting Analyzed · · Score: 1
  10. Nope, too little, too late. :) on Microsoft Opening Office XML Formats · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, no matter what they do, we'll still hate them, right? :)

  11. Re:Linux/NX/AMD64 on Defeating XP SP2 Heap Protection · · Score: 1

    I know that it has been in the pipeline for a while.
    But how do apps take advantage of it?

    I've compiled 2.6.10 recently, and I didn't see any options for "Enforce NX", or anything? Or is it a glibc thing?

  12. Linux/NX/AMD64 on Defeating XP SP2 Heap Protection · · Score: 1

    Slightly unrelated: What about NX under Linux on the amd64 architecture. Anyone know if/when it is supported?

  13. Re:than they had better mend their ways on Microsoft's Longhorn Faces Antitrust Scrutiny · · Score: 1
    Oh, this made me laugh. We have a room full of SuSE Linux machines here, and since they were upgraded to 2.6 kernels USB pen drives haven't worked.

    Can't be important to you though - I mean, otherwise, you'd have tested one machine first, and not upgraded if there were problems, right?

  14. Re:Don't Worry on Zimmermann Enters Debate on Microsoft Encryption · · Score: 1
    It'll be fixed in the next installment. Just give them more of your money...

    Yep. Windows 2003!! Not as good as the next version!

  15. Re:copyright on Zimmermann Enters Debate on Microsoft Encryption · · Score: 1
    Is unbreakable encryption even theoretically possible?

    Yes, but it's the one-time pad. If you're asking is asymmetric encryption theoretically unbreakable, no. As long as there are a finite amount of keys to try, you can just keep trying them all. How long it takes is the question.

  16. Re:First rule of Microsoft encryption on Zimmermann Enters Debate on Microsoft Encryption · · Score: 1

    Wasn't RC4 closed source until the source leaked out on the web, and they soon found flaws in it, which were patched, and it was a better algorithm for being "open sourced", albeit against it's will.

    Stick to stuff like 3DES, and AES, and I think you'll be fine. But don't listen to me - I'm no cryptographer.

  17. New models? on Intel Sonoma UK Launch Party · · Score: 4, Funny
    new models

    Not the kind of models I was hoping to see... Just some boring laptops....

  18. Supporting Linux. on IBM Desktop Linux Pledge, One Year Later · · Score: 1

    Maybe they don't have enough support people that know about Linux? They know where to ask... :)

  19. Re:Do people still read Usenet? on AOL Kills Usenet Access · · Score: 1

    I went with my ISP **because** they provide newsgroups. There are lots that don't - and I don't mind paying slightly more for an ISP that sees that porn and warez, I mean Usenet access is a part of what an ISP should provide. Usenet and IRC - the original P2P and IM.

  20. Re:No! on LiveJournal Blackout Analysis Online · · Score: 1

    DL360s have 2 onboard eepro100s in them. They have never failed on me.

  21. Re:The reason why some NICs don't auto-neg on LiveJournal Blackout Analysis Online · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's what Compaq Lights-Out cards are for. Lovely things. Very handy.

  22. Re:Fascinating read on LiveJournal Blackout Analysis Online · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I always appreciate when people explain how large scale outages happened, were able to happen, how they fix it, and what they do to prevent it happening again. It's useful (and good for your employment status) to learn from other people mistakes rather than your own.
    So Slashdot - what are all the 500 errors about then? :)

  23. Re:Conspiracy? on P2P Operators Plead Guilty · · Score: 1

    I think the way round this is to build a separate internet with VPNs..... :)

  24. Slony on PostgreSQL 8.0 Released · · Score: 1

    But does the slony ebuild work yet? :)

  25. Re:Can we run servers yet? on Comcast Raises Bandwidth in Shot at DSL · · Score: 1

    I was reading some of the AUP for UK ADSL ISPs. They basically say: Do what you want.
