  1. Not a CAVE, but a NAVE on Sandia Labs Creates "Sim-Terrorist Attack" · · Score: 1

    At UF, we just had a NAVE installed (by students) this past year. Looks just like the one in the picture, except theirs is rounded.

    The main difference is that a NAVE is MUCH cheaper to build. The above link has more details.

  2. No mention at VisionTek.com on VisionTek Folds · · Score: 1

    If this were true, don't you think this would be something that they would put on their website?

    As of 12:45 EDT, there is no mention of forclosure on their site.

    I'd like to read the HardOCP article, but its been /.'ed

  3. V'GER on Twin Voyager Probes 25 Years In Flight · · Score: 1

    Yes, but will it come back looking for The Creator in a couple hundred years?

  4. No Hot Swap on Hardware IDE/SCSI RAID for Windows 2000 Servers? · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind that unlike the SCSI RAID you can get from Dell and the like, IDE RAID is NOT HOT-SWAPPABLE.

    This means that if a drive fails, and you want to replace it, you must take down the system if you use IDE RAID. With SCSI RAID, and the apropriate controller, You can literally pull the dead drive and replace it with a new one, and the machine doesn't even skip a beat (well, it slows down a little bit as it rebuidls the array, but...).

  5. Re:sign yourself on MS Palladium Patent · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Unfortunately, it looks like the cheapest Code Signing Certificate that one can get from a CA (one that M$ will trust, anyway) is $200 from Thawte. Verisign is $400.

    How difficult would it be to set up a free CA for Open Source Software, or software released under other licenes, such as X or BSD?

    IMHO, code signing in itself is not such a bad idea. What is bad is who you have to pay money to in order to get "trusted" status. A Free CA would allow free software to remain free and gain "trusted" privileges.

  6. Re:You think RH will include... on New Red Hat Beta: LIMBO · · Score: 1

    Have you tried the orinoco_cs module? Its included with the Redhat binary kernels.

    Not to familiar with Orinoco cards, but I have a Linksys WPC11 v.3. I used the linux-wlan-ng modules, available as RPMs here.I don't have a WLAN to test it out on yet, but I will when I get back to school in about six weeks, so I'm not sure if it works. It does, however, flash the Link light, just as it does under W2K when it is seraching for a WAP.

  7. Re:Five Discs! on New Red Hat Beta: LIMBO · · Score: 1

    Actually, I just installed RH 7.3 on my Notebook today. Notebook class install, with KDE, Gnome, and Development. It needed all 3 CDs.

  8. Re:dont block entire domain on Blocking Instant Messengers? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Trillian uses scs.yahoo.com, port 5050 to connect to Yahoo.
