  1. www.sco.com is a WMD on Novell Quotes AT&T on Derivative Works · · Score: 5, Funny

  2. support for WebDAV in nautilus on Gnome's Nice Little GUI Perks · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Although Steven some nice features, he missed to mention that Nautilus supports WebDAV as well. WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning".
    However Nautilus needs to improve the WebDAV functionality. MacOS has the best implementation of a WebDAV client as far as I know.

  3. sharing proprietary formated data on Microsoft's Search Engine Plans · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I hope the industry sees the opportunities that Longhorn's WinFS opens up. We can either work together and share data with each other, or we can be afraid and keep data to ourselves.

    Share data? with whom? how can you share data that is in either proprietary format or "patented XML" ???
    It is following the OpenStandard that will help in "working together and sharing data".

  6. site redirects on Cross-site Scripting Prevention · · Score: 4, Interesting

    hehe.. this reminds of the time, when people used to embed redirects tags like:

    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.xml-dev.com">

    in messages on the online forums. I know Hypernews was vulnerable to this attack.

  7. Re:vmWare's ESX server uses Linux Kernel? on An Introduction to Virtualization · · Score: 2, Informative

    ok I think I answered my own question. Here is what vmware says:
    "VMware's patented and patent-pending technology serves as the foundation for VMware ESX Server; it is not derived from Linux or FreeBSD." @ VMware ESX Server 2 FAQs

    Linux is only used a bootloader, and for I/O to the console on the ESX Server.

  8. vmWare's ESX server uses Linux Kernel? on An Introduction to Virtualization · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I thought vmWare's ESX Server used a Linux Kernel. Or is it just the installer that is based on Linux.

  11. cant compare Java and C on Performance Benchmarks of Nine Languages · · Score: 1

    Java is intended to run on a Virtual Machine environment, and C is not.
    That is Java code can be run on any platform as long as it has a Java virtual machine. You can not do that with C++.
    you are comparing apples and oranges.

  19. missing WebDAV on Review of the Mirra Home Backup System · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Good idea. But it is missing WebDAV.
    WebDAV can make it very easy to put and retrieve files from the server, using a web browser (over port 80).

  21. OEM support through Sun, HP etc???? on MandrakeSoft Publishes Support Policy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Can I get OEM Suport for Mandrake products through Support/Service providers like Sun, HP, Dell etc?
    Most large corporation like to have just one support contract from one major service provider (sun, dell, or HP etc). They don't want to manage several contract for the data center equipment.
    One thing I like about RedHat is: OEM support for RedHat products is available from Sun and HP.

  22. An Unquiet Mind on Best and Worst Books of 2003? · · Score: 1

    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0679 763309/103-9417197-6812639?v=glance by Dr. Kay Jamison Redfield. Dr. Redfield is a Professor at John Hopkins

    Some quotes from the book:
    - "We all move uneasily within our restraints."
    - "but of course they had no idea how I felt, although they were certain that they did."
    - "The morbidity of my mind was astonishing: Death and its kin were constant companions."
    -"Within psychiatric circles, if you kill yourself, you earn the right be considered a "successful" suicide.....
    - There is an assumption, in attaching Puritan concepts such as "successful" and "unsuccessful" to the awful, final act of suicide, that those who "fail" at killing themselves not only are weak, but incompetent, incapable even of getting their dying quite right.
