  1. You Bastards! on Sklyarov Indicted · · Score: 1

    You indicted Sklyarov!

  2. who is this poor schmuck on Slashback: Picnic, Sperling, Quickliness · · Score: 1

    and what did he do to deserve this?

    from the 130.49.77.223 dept.

    to save you the time :)

    [stewart@byte stuff]# host 130.49.77.223
    223.77.49.130.in-addr.arpa. is an alias for 223.77.64-19.49.130.in-addr.arpa.

  3. people with too much time on their hands on Human Markup Language · · Score: 1

    where's the research into really necessary new XML markup languages:

    SBML (standards body markup language)
    FDBML (front door bell markup language)
    MSML (markup submission markup language)
    PML (penis markup language)? (oh, wait, that's slashdot)
    WOTPDML (waste of tax-payers dollars markup language)

    I was hoping the one upside to a crappy economy would be the death of all this useless academic research into (ab)uses of XML.

  4. people are always more eager to share bad news on Excite@Home May Have To Call It Quits · · Score: 2, Informative

    Everyone's got a story. Mine has, for the last 18 months, been very positive. In addition to a consistently stable and fast connection, I've even experienced suprisingly competent network support.

    I'm running a linux firewall on a static IP in front of my home network. Life without @Home would totally suck.

  5. Hurd Turd on RMS Accused Of Attempting Glibc Hostile Takeover · · Score: 1

    This is like Sun forcing developers to name all Java applications Java*** because they are compiled and run with Java tools... or getting pissed off because you wrote a distributed application server in Java before they got around to it.

    Stallman didn't manage to finish his kernel due to a lack of pragmatism. He did help get some decent tools built, though. Any by his very license we can use them to build any damn thing we want and call it anything we want as well.

    You don't see him bitching about the 99.9999% of other applications built on GNU tools not being called GNU***.

    The Hurd will never go anywhere unless it implements a decent Linux interface. That chaps his ass so hard he can barely breath.

  6. slashdot slashdotted! on Help Stress Test The New Slashdot · · Score: 1, Redundant

    already! anyone got mirrors?

  7. Re:I don't see a problem on Code Red Back For More · · Score: 1

    I've had over 2000 of these since yesterday. all from within @home.

  8. Re:congratulations, you are now a criminal in the on Macrovision CD Protection Bypassed · · Score: 1

    not relevant. simply talking about a bypass mechanism is now in a legal gray area.

  9. congratulations, you are now a criminal in the USA on Macrovision CD Protection Bypassed · · Score: 1, Informative

    tell cdfreaks to steer clear of the good old USA unless they want to end up in prison.

  10. Re:Evolution .11 impressions on Evolution 1.0 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    This is a fair report. I think I went through the exact same steps and found nearly all of the same bugs. When they get it stabilized and add a few more of the basics (drag/drop, imaps, content-type action keys) I will switch over from Mozilla (which is SLOOOOW but more fully featured). The interface looks polished and (when it's working) VERY fast.

  11. Re:Making water not wet... on Companies Abandon The Sinking Ship That Is SDMI · · Score: 1

    then it becomes not water. you still have not made water not wet.

  12. Re:whatever it happens to be.. on Open Source Programming Language Design · · Score: 2

    but you're ok with having to download a compiler? or do youalso demand that it also compiles with gcc automatically?

  13. .NET is Microsoft's response to Java on Does .NET Sound Like Java? · · Score: 1

    C# (and thus .NET) will run on a universal Microsoft VM/Interpreter embedded in every copy of Windows. Microsoft now realizes that the state of the art for JIT and dynamic-mode compilation can exceed the performance of statically compiled code (a lesson learned from IBM); they gain the simplicity of maintaining a single back-end execution engine for all of their languages (C++, C#, VB).

  14. Re:fp on The Object Oriented Hype · · Score: 2

    best review of this "article" to date

  15. Re:perfect application for user-mode linux on The Honeypot Project · · Score: 2

    I meant that you could run several honeypots on a single machine. It would look like a fully network of boxes. You could "rebuild" a rooted system by making a backup of a single file (the loop'ed fs) and restoring it. You could refresh a system in 30 seconds.

  16. perfect application for user-mode linux on The Honeypot Project · · Score: 4

    This is a perfect application for user-mode-linux. You can setup and run any number of complete virtual linux systems on a single box without compromising the integrity of the host system.

  17. Mass storage is still broken on Linux 2.2.18 Released · · Score: 1

    It depends on a backport of 2.4 code that will likely not happen.

  18. Re:ReiserFS gets the job done on Merits Of The Different Journaling Filesystems? · · Score: 2

    If you can afford 12 9GB SCSI disks, surely you can afford a UPS! The power failures are going to seriously shorten the lifespan of your hardware (which point reboot speed is meaningless).

  19. can you say BetaMax vs. VHS? on KDE Developer on the GNOME Foundation · · Score: 1

    One was clearly better and it still lost. I think that KDE is better integrated and has more components than Gnome. I use Gnome. It accomplishes what I need and gets out of my way. I don't use most of it's components anyway.

  20. Sign of technology to come on Final Fantasy Movie Trailers · · Score: 3

    Fast-forward five years when the processing power exists to render this stuff in real-time and combine it with stories generated on the fly... there are already computer programs that can write short stories which are indistinguishable from that of humans. Custom movies rendered on the fly tailored to your wishes that know how to push all of your emotional buttons. What tactics will the MPAA use against this technology? Will they hold the licenses to all the good digital actors/personalities. Will they club us to death with patents? Food fer thought.

  21. doesn't matter on Will Microsoft Open Windows Source Code? (No!) · · Score: 1

    1. Even if they open source Windows, they will still sell their own proprietary version and guess what... their office apps will only run on their version.

    2. It's not the OS, it's the APPS that count. Have then open source Office and then they might loose their grip (over document formats and the endless upgrade).

  22. Itanium tops my list on The Corporate Lame Name Game · · Score: 1

    Itanium... followed very closely by Inprise.

  23. and the most important take-away from this is... on ZDTV sold to Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures · · Score: 0

    that 'meer' is spelled 'mere'

  24. slashdotted on GNU XFce 3.2.0 Desktop Now Available · · Score: 0

    the site seems a tad slashdotted. are there mirrors?

  25. Re:Wow! on Caldera Graphic Installation Screenshots · · Score: 1

    I got a copy of this (Caldera OpenLinux 2.2) at an Oracle conference and can say with no hesitation that the install is incredible and flawless. It even went from the install screen to the login screen without a reboot! That's a first in my experience.
