  1. Re:Wow! on Taming Conficker, the Easy Way · · Score: 1

    Now we just need to work out a way to remotely ask a computer if the printer cable is properly plugged in, and we're set.

    ssh + lsusb + grep...

    It seems like you need the "flashblock" firefox extension. Pair it with "adblock plus" for better effects.

    If you can see shapes with your monitor off, it may be as well paranoid schizophrenia. :-)

  4. Re:The first thing that comes to my mind is... on Blizzard Introduces One-Time Password Devices For WoW · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I value my real money far more than imaginary swords, shields and armor that exist as bits in an entertainment company's database.

    You mean that you value dollars that exist as bits in company A's DB, more than gold coins that exist as bits in company B's DB, don't you?

  5. Re:open street map? on Open US GPS Data? · · Score: 1

    Turn restrictions and address ranges are a b**ch to work with; but the rest of features are pretty well defined in the Wiki.
    See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Map_Features . And if something is missing, please check the "proposed features" link at the top.

  7. I still got one... on Simple, Bare-Bones Motherboards? · · Score: 1

    ...in my basement. From my old 486. No sound (the SoundBlaster 16 just hit the market), no ethernet (I had to buy a 10BaseT 3com), no video (I still have that 1 Mb Trident ISA card). It even doesn't have an IDE or serial controller on-board, but on a ISA card.

    So, it you don't mind not being able to use a shiny lots-o-gigaherzt CPU, a second-hand motherboard from 10 years ago is your best bet for a "just a motherboard". Check your local junkyard, there should be plenty.

  8. Re:How much is that? on iTunes Store Available in Australia Very Soon · · Score: 3, Informative

    1.80 Austrialian dollars? What is that 15 US dollars and about 1.5 Euros?
    1.8 Australian Dollars, at today's currency exchange rates, are about 1.40 US $, or about 1.08 €.

    MS should really step in here and mandate a total-removal tool. Something that wipes ALL THE BLOODY FILES and icons from the HDD.

    You mean, like "format c:"?

  10. Beakman's world on Physicists Work on Physics' Uncool Image · · Score: 1

    Re-run a show like "Beakman's world", or shoot a similar one. I liked that show much when I was 10 years younger (and I was putting legos together after school).

  14. Re:For checking if system is dead on Is Caps Lock Dead? · · Score: 1

    I use it often when I sit at the console of one of my FreeBSD servers/workstations to scroll back up.
    Shift+PageUp/Down works for me and my xterms (as the mouse scroll in Konsoles). :-)

    It's those damned Windows keys that are useless and annoying and get in the way of typing fast.
    Not so useless if you bind them to another keyboard modificator and bind some key combinations to launching apps. Icons on the desktop? Nah. "Quick Launch" bars? Shit. Just press Ctrl+Win+Alt+C and see Kopete popping up...

  15. For checking if system is dead on Is Caps Lock Dead? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, as I am using a mixture of Debian/Sid/Experimental and lots of unstable (and non-official) packages, my system freezes once in a while. However, pressing Caps Lock helps me check if the keyboard driver is still live (so that I can use the MagicSysRq Keys) or I must reboot by hand. Could use NumLock for that matter, but CapsLock is usually nearest to one of my hands. The truly useless key is ScrollLock, BTW...

  19. Re:How to crash linux. on Open-Source Development 'Faster, Better, Cheaper' · · Score: 3, Informative

    Please mod me (and parent) offtopic and/or redundant...

    Press alt, print screen and b at the same time. Your oh so stable Linux will crash. It may be flamebait to the zealots, but it is also Informative and Insightful, so mod this accordingly.

    If you press SysRQ+B, the kernel will send a reset instruction to the processor, effectively resetting your machine without syncing the fileystems, corrupting them.
    Please do read the documentation before playing with the MagicSysRQ key.

    Anyway, this doesn't have anything to do with the topic (FLOSS development techniques)

  20. Re:My Experience With Open Source on Open-Source Development 'Faster, Better, Cheaper' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You didn't get the point. The article is not about using FLOSS, but about using FLOSS develop methods, and/or applying FLOSS development concepts.

    I won't mind if you're using LAMP or W2K as a server, but perhaps it DOES mind if you're using a bugtracking system, public betas, and feedback from people you don't know.
