  1. Re:A couple of mirrors on RFC 3514: New Bit Defined for IPv4 Headers · · Score: 1

    Heres another mirror.

  2. Re:The only prog rock band worth listening to is.. on Slashback: Security, Telephony, Solicitude · · Score: 1

    I was going to break out the flame-thrower, but I realized that your right. All the good prog these days is happening in the metal genre.

    Now if you'll excuse me I have some Circle II Circle to headbang to.

  3. Better Yet on Mandrake Linux 9.1 (Bamboo) Is Available! · · Score: 1

    Join Mandrake Club. You'll be able to download things faster, too.

  4. Re:Available? on Mandrake Linux 9.1 (Bamboo) Is Available! · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, the French server I'm downloading things from seems to be surrendering a lot.

  5. Re:Network install? on First Mandrake 9.1 Review Out · · Score: 1

    I'm currently running Mandrake 9.0 on my laptop and almost everything autodetected. Xfree seems to have problems with some of the LCD monitor drivers, but just telling it you have a CRT seems to work fine. I also didn't bother to get my winmodem working, so I'm not sure how involved that is.

    As for the network install, nevered tried it.

  6. Re:Sshh..... on Apple to Announce new Mac OS X version in June · · Score: 4, Funny

    Obviously he needs to check the meaning of subtle.

  7. Re:Protestors on Web Site Hacks Rise as War Rages in Iraq · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I went to 4 anti-war protests, and no one could explain why we were truely at war.

    Why are you asking people who think the war is unjustified to justify the war?

  8. Re:Not necessarily the war yet on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sir, one of the reason I oppose this war is because I don't want to see my friends in the Army and Marines killed for what I see as no good reason.

  9. Re:Exploited on WebDAV Buffer Overflow Attack Compromises IIS 5.0 · · Score: 1
    Microsoft learned of the vulnerability after online hackers used the flaw to breach the security of a customer's Web servers last Wednesday
    Looks like "black hats" were the first to find this bug, at least according to C|NET.
  10. Re:Wait a second... on Yet Another Perl Conference - Canada · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wonder what the Perl syntax for "... eh?" is...

    I don't actually know Perl, but my guess would be @#!$&^%eh!@#$@$*&

  11. Re:Don't you love the VA Software disclaimers? on OSDL Releases TPC Benchmark Tests For Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    Slashdot is all about professional, responsible journalism.

    You're new here aren't you.

  12. Re:So who's read Idoru? on Music Industry's Future Foretold in China? · · Score: 1

    They've almost done this already (see Milli Vinilli), they just haven't used CGI yet.

  13. Re:interesting description of /. in the article on The Reality of Online Reputation · · Score: 5, Funny

    On Slashdot one has to read the original article, and think, or at least wade through the posts.

    I find it amusing that reading the psots is given as an alternative to thinking.

  14. Re:ugly on Multimedia Home Entertainment System for Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Exactly, I figure if people spend time making their software pretty, they spent no time making it do stuff

  15. Re:only in danger if you dual-boot on TurboTax DRM Writes to Your Boot Sector?! · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not true. My parent's machine got fscked up after installation of TurboTax, they had a system restore utility that refused to work aand let the computer boot afterwards. At least this would go a long way to explain the problem.

  16. Re:hmmm on Dave Stutz's Parting Advice To Microsoft · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I run Linux for three reasons:

    1. I don't like some things in Windows and I cannot easily change or replace the things I dislike.

    2. I don't have to use any specific, Windows-only apps.

    3. I have the luxury of letting politics influence my choice in software. I'd rather use OSS then stuff from a company that has been shown to usedispicable bussiness pratices.

    A Windows GUI on top a Linux kernel may fix #1, but #3 is a far more important point.

  18. Re:I keep saying this, but nobody listens on Don't Sever A High-Tech Lifeline for Musicians · · Score: 1

    If you don't know about the band, don't buy the album. It's really very simple.

    But what if I want to know more about a band that doesn't get radio play. I can either ponetially waste money by buying their album, or download a couple of songs. If I don't like the songs they get deleted, if I do I buy the damn album.

    P2P and mp3s are tremendous exposure for non-RIAA bands/labels. And probably why the RIAA wants to kill P2P the most.

    What did Gandhi ever do to you?

  20. Re:Profiteers on Updated Information On Columbia Shuttle Tragedy · · Score: 1

    There was an auction earlier that claimed to be selling debris. It was here but has since been pulled

  21. Question on Buy a Moller SkyCar Prototype on eBay · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why would a flying car need to be approved as a road vehicle?

  22. Re:Is this news? on nVidia Unified Drivers Including Linux/FreeBSD · · Score: 2, Informative

    I wonder what implications the continuing close-source approach of NVidia will have, what with the upcoming abolition of binary-only modules in Linux kernel 2.6?

    The hernel developers aren't abolishing binary-only modules, they're just changing the way they interact with the kernel.
