  1. Mass casualty incident on James Gosling Report of Reno Air Crash · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's not uncommon to have a vehicle accident with 5 patients and also declare that an MCI. That just means the first responders were overwhelmed by the amount of patients and injuries and they need to declare an MCI, which prompts a number of things: additional emergency personnel, overhead to manage the incident, notifies local hospitals so they can start taking action prior to patient arrival, etc.

  2. Re:rsync? on Ask Slashdot: Network Backup Solution Out of the Box? · · Score: 1

    Another vote for BackupPC. I use this in addition to NDMP and VMDK backups from Backup Exec for better granular restores. Backup Exec writes to tape, BackupPC writes to attached storage.

  3. Slackware uses BitTorrent on BitTorrent Gains Corporate Support · · Score: 2, Informative

    Slackware used BitTorrent to distribute Slackware 9.1 ISOs.

  4. Re:Damn laptop alarms on Stolen Laptop Alarms · · Score: 1
    The beauty of the electronic beast, according to Mitchell, is it allows the laptop owner to be mobile, which is, after all, the whole idea of laptops. There are few false alarms because of the deactivating device and the distance required between the laptop and its owner (about 15 feet) before the gizmo works.

    So...if the owner walks away from his laptop, it will go off? Great...

  5. Re:So help me (and others, I'm sure) understand... on DALnet For Chatting, Not File Sharing · · Score: 1

    That's not our entire network right there. There are several other channels that offer a place to chat, complete IRC help, linux help, etc. Go ahead and take a look around.

  9. Re:Bad timing on Moving Your Kids to Linux? · · Score: 1

    I couldn't of said it better myself.

    Say, they're at school and they hear something about a new game from students, they will come home wanting to play it but it only runs on Windows, and it won't even run in wine.

  10. Leave it to the pros.. on Beta FreeBSD Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Why not just leave it to the sites that already have features like this? http://www.google.com/bsd is a great engine.

  11. Re:My Obligation on Opera Releases Stable FreeBSD Browser · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's still very much alive...

    It may not be perfered by many, but it's still heavy in development, and prefered by many ISPs.

  12. Re:Look like windows? on Red Hat 8.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It looks more like OSX with the Aqua theme, I installed it around 6 this morning with the feeling I had installed the wrong operating system!

  13. BSD on XBox? on XBox Linux HOWTOs · · Score: 1

    I'd personally like to see FreeBSD or OpenBSD on the X-Box. Thats when I'll buy a used one and play around with it.

  14. Re:Memory Monster on Netscape 7.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    Also, I understand there are no more pop ups on the web....

    No more popups? I can't even count how many i've seen today on my workstation.
