  1. Re:I call bullshit. on US Government Checking Up On Vista Users? · · Score: 1

    ethereal runs just fine on windows (although gtk is a ugly as cowboyneal's brown hole). A halfway decent firewall (kerio) would also show the same information.

  2. Re:In other news on OLPC Used to Browse Porn · · Score: 4, Funny

    better yet, point them to goatse and tubgirl.

  3. national geographic? on OLPC Used to Browse Porn · · Score: 1

    cowboy neal has jungle fever!

  4. Re:Why? on Linux Gains Two New Virtualization Solutions · · Score: 1

    Yeah, like all those file systems the kernel supports.

    It doesn't support ZFS.

  5. Re:Everything? on Facebook Acquires Parakey's Web OS Platform · · Score: 3, Interesting

    From wikipedia (warning: I may have edited this just minutes ago):

    The idea behind it is to make image, video, and writing transfer to the web easier. He explains that the current problem with transferring data to the web is that in order to move an image onto the web you first have to transfer pictures from your digital camera, then upload them to a place like Flickr.

    That sounds like an ActiveX-esque security shit storm waiting to happen.

    If only there was a standard element for a horizontal rule.

    javascript does define when a semi-colon (;) is optional, though.

    Rosie O'Donnell much?

  9. Re:Question on Magnetic Wobbles Cause Hard Drive Failure · · Score: 1

    it affects every hard drive. However, 90% of the time that means windows. If you use mirrored drives (like ZFS), one hard drive shitting out on you won't cause problems.

  10. Re:Sigh on Magnetic Wobbles Cause Hard Drive Failure · · Score: 5, Funny

    yes, but the gpl v3 fixes this limitation.

  11. ugh on Testing Einstein's 'Spooky Action at a Distance' · · Score: -1, Troll

    articles like this make me think slashdot should stick to things readers might have some knowledge about, like kneeling on a hardwood floor to eat out a girl's pussy.

  12. Re:Don't misunderstand on True Random Number Generator Goes Online · · Score: 1

    You could use intel's floating point math unit as a random number generator.

    Thanks for sharing that. I always wondered how you felt.

  14. Re:Call my cynical, but... on Rewritable Song Lyrics · · Score: 1

    That was lame. You shouldn't have posted it once let alone 3 times.

  15. Re:Uh, I think the summary misses the point of OSS on openMosix Is Shutting Down · · Score: 1

    look at sourceforge much?

  16. Re:Probably similar on Worm Claimed For Apple OS X · · Score: 2, Interesting

    not necessarily. In 2002, there was a zlib vulnerability found (involving memory being freed twice). Windows was not affected since it safeguards against double freeing memory.

  17. you think that's bad? on IPhones Flooding Wireless LAN At Duke · · Score: 1

    Just wait until MS releases the zunephone! They ain't seen nothin' yet!

    Also, let's be honest, this is duke. Next week, faculty will be taking out full page ads about the iPhone being a racist symbol of male patriarchy designed to facilitate rape. A 9 month investigation will find that duke network admins made the whole thing up.

  19. Re:Pretty In-depth on Building a Fully Encrypted NAS On OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    From the mdadm man page:

    MONITOR MODE
    ...
    This usage causes mdadm to periodically poll a number of md arrays and
    to report on any events noticed. mdadm will never exit once it decides
    that there are arrays to be checked, so it should normally be run in
    the background.

  20. Re:ZFS on Building a Fully Encrypted NAS On OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    No, but FreeBSD 7 and OpenSolaris do.

  21. Re:Not quite the first on Blogging Is 10 Years Old · · Score: 1

    Back in 95/96, I had a CS professor that kept weekly class news, etc in his .plan file. It was also archived on his web page. I also recall some game companies that had a web front end for current and archived employee .plan files from around the same time.

    sticking the batmobile engine into a station wagon won't help you get laid.

    Let me know when a modern linux system can asynchronously notify a process that a file/directory has been modified.

  25. why is this on slashdot? on Programs Cannot Be Uninstalled In Vista? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    news for nerds, stuff that matters. The AOL control panel not working in windows vista doesn't qualify as either.
