  1. r2 on Debian 3.0r2 Released · · Score: 0

    Sure, most of the security updates are available on security.debian.org - but now they will be in the main distro, so if you want to make ISOs they will be included...

  2. Re:SCO Again!... on Debian Project Servers Compromised · · Score: 0

    Break in and steal the source? When you can just download it from the site? Man, those SCO guys must be clueless.

  3. No Sahara in SOUTH Africa on Uranium Pebbles May Light the Way · · Score: 0

    While there are semi-desert regions in South Africa, the Sahara is in North Africa. Get a map, or a clue!

  4. Knoppix is your friend on Perens: Unite behind Debian, UserLinux · · Score: 0

    Knoppix has great hardware detection. Knoppix has working USB! Knoppix is based on Debian, and can be used to install Debian with all your detected hardware supported...

    Sure it's not Debian Stable, but it's not so bleeding edge as to be broken, either.

    FWIW I run Debian unstable on my laptop with practically no problems. YMMV

  5. Re:110 Km? on Use Multiple Channels for Faster Wireless Networking · · Score: 2, Funny

    How big are your feet?

  6. Re:Not how it works, but how it looks. on Windows Security Through Annoyances? · · Score: 1
    tremendous APPEARANCE of security

    The worrying thing is that they are already demo'ing the user experience, before the hardware is in place.

    How will lusers ever know that what they are seeing is the real thing, and not the fake-demo-technology? Microsoft could just release the demo, and *say* it's the real thing... since it's closed source, who would ever know?

    Certainly save me from having to buy all new hardware...

  7. Re:Misunderstanding, possibly not reading on Teach A Robot To Drive, Win A Million Bucks · · Score: 1

    There should be an advanced version with the following additional requirements:

    802.11b WLAN
    P2P distributed intelligence

    Then we could have a Beowulf swarm of these!

  8. Seeing is believing on Slashback: Iridium, Synthesis, Drives · · Score: 1

    If the sun disappears (hypothetically) we would only see it disappear 8 minutes later. Think we would go flying off while we still see the sun in place? (Hey, like, what's happening dude, how can we be flying away from the sun?)

  9. SMS to land line in South Africa on SMS Messaging Unreliable · · Score: 1
    Down here in South Africa, one of the GSM providers lets us SMS to a land line. They have a monotone droid-style voice to read the SMS out repeatedly when the phone is answered...

    First time I found out about it was when a decidedly non-tech friend accidently SMS'ed my home number instead of my cell number - and it worked!

  10. So now the thief has to... on New Software Secures Data when Owners Walk Away · · Score: 1

    Stalk you so the laptop decrypts when he is near you...

    Can you revoke your watch from unlocking the laptop even when you still have the watch, but the laptop is already missing?

  11. Re:Debian killed my thinkpad! (This really happene on Debian-Installer Alpha Released · · Score: 1

    # apt-get install fire (Don't try this at home... B)

  12. Re:Shouldnt be so hard on stuff like this... on ApacheConf · · Score: 1
    > this is a start.

    start, programs, ApacheConf!

    > tools like this that make it possible for monkeys to run web servers

    What's the sign language for "vi /etc/apache/httpd.conf; apachectl start" ?
