  1. Re:Once again, No-go for Linux on X-Men Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Here's the URL you want to use to download the actual movie (not just the "click here to play" splash screen:

  2. Capturing WMF/RealVideo Files on Crusoe Architecture Seminar · · Score: 1


    Anyone that was able to grab this before Streambox (www.streambox.com pulled it from the site - supposedly new version coming soon - can capture these and convert them to other video formats.

    Can't someone who downloaded the previous version demo send it over to Hemos?

  3. Re:symptoms on Carpal Tunnel Surgery? · · Score: 2



    One reason that Windows is so bad is that they were purposefully trying to *not* copy the MacOS interface, which had extensive ergonomic and efficiency research poured into it from the beginning. If one OS is specifically designed to be as comfortable as possible for the user, and another OS comes along and does the *exact opposite* to avoid a lawsuit...you get where I'm going.

  4. What about Kerberos/Bones? How is that legal? on CNN On Story on GnuPG 1.0 · · Score: 1
    If that is absolute law, what is the deal with Kerberos/Bones? Couldn't something similar, i.e. the direct calls are "removed" but not difficult to implement outside of the US, be done for a mailer? From the distribution page:
    • Bones is an implementation of the Kerberos Version 4 API that has had all calls to encryption libraries removed and that does not provide any form of security whatsoever. This is a partial solution to this problem, in that it provides a system that looks like Kerberos from an application's point of view.


    • Outside the United States, you can get Bones via anonymous ftp from ftp.funet.fi (128.214.6.100) in pub/unix/security/kerberos. A DES library is available from the same place.

      Copies of the Kerberos Bones with DES routines and calls added back in by foreign programmers are called `eBones', and are available by anonymous FTP from machines in Sweden, Germany, Israel, Finland, Australia, and France (so far); check with "archie".
  5. Re:What's needed now is... on CNN On Story on GnuPG 1.0 · · Score: 1


    After having had to use Eudora w/pgp before, I'm ecstatic to be able to use pgp/gpg with pine. The integration is good, and having the filter option pop up when I'm sending is like a dream come true. I think it's the most hassle-free mail encryption setup I've ever used. There's a good page linked from the gpg main page that's a cookbook for setting pine up with pgp/gpg in minutes...


  6. Re:Ask HomeDepot... on Ask Slashdot: Business Software for Linux? · · Score: 1

    My local Home Depot uses a Win95-based system. Believe me, I see it almost every time I shop there...when they have to power-off and reboot the registers. I'd say 3 of the last 10 times I've been there I had to wait until it booted back up to get checked out.

  7. Propriety cash-register vendors *do* exist on Ask Slashdot: Business Software for Linux? · · Score: 1

    My wife works in retail management and had a funny experience the other day. A couple of guys came in trying to hawk their Linux-based cash-register systems (she works for Bath and Body Works) and started to tell her how much more stable and robust they were than the existing Windows-based systems.

    She said they just about fell over when they found out that not only did this dumb retail bimbo know about Linux, but that she knew a lot of specifics about the advantages of the Linux OS...

    Yeah, when will I get that robotic French "maid" I've been wanting for so long...
