  1. Coulombs on Nickel Sensors Could Raise Hard Disk Capacity · · Score: 1

    Tesla might've had his own measuerment, and it may very well be better. Different units are a bitch.

  2. in math classes on Warner Brothers Announce The Matrix: Special Edit · · Score: 1

    a matrix is a two dimensional array.

    In the "real world" of programming, you learn that 50% of math classes are useless. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if algebra was enough to get by. Most processors only due basic arithmetic after all.

    Disclaimer: I am not dissing math. I am further in the subject than any other sophomore at me school.

  5. that damn well better be sarcastic on Opera 7.0 Security Holes ... Fixed · · Score: 1

    If a post is pro-M$ and not obviously sarcastic we begin to wonder about your sanity.

  6. frob.us on Shell Simulation Via CGI · · Score: 1

    I would mention that it is FROB.US, as I mentioned in my previous post. If you are having dns trouble then bitch at me on aim, my sn is SHEENmaster.

  7. compile your own damn kernel on A Sound Server For X · · Score: 1

    and get the better drivers now!

    At some point you will come across that needed driver that your distro's kernel doesn't have; until then, enjoy not worrying that you forgot to reload your bootloader after compiling.

  8. as a recent 2.0 convert, I beg to differ on Gnome 2.0 Officially Available For Solaris · · Score: 2, Funny

    Many gtk2 features, particularly the file selection dialog box, are better.

    A few of the configuration dialogs haven't been finished, but it is definitly worth the upgrade.

    As for giving the something half baked (*cough*SCO UNIX*cough*), why not give them GDM and the choice of using CDE, KDE, GNOME, or TWM?

    I apologize for calling SCO UNIX "half baked." This statement was in error, in fact SCO is such a load of useless non-functional crap that I don't consider it UNIX at all. Even OS X is more complete! (I also apologize for comparing OS X to SCO, winshit(my first choice), sucks nearly as much as SCO.)

  9. no on Red Hat Certification Program For Education · · Score: 1

    it involves saying they have been educated.

    Anyone want to become an FECE for only $20? Inquire here.

  10. I use ESD on A Sound Server For X · · Score: 1

    because it keeps /dev/dsp from fucking up, allows simultaneous feeds, and doesn't give me crap.

    Couldn't a /dev/dsp replacement be made with the same features?

  11. lynx!? on Shell Simulation Via CGI · · Score: 2, Informative

    if lynx and links won't work then screw this!

    I give the hosted users of my server ssh access for the sole reason that it keeps them from running shit like this.

    /etc/security/ contains all the settings needed to keep them from fucking stuff up. Before I configured process restrictions a user's chat server spun out of control, eventually spawning so many processes that the mouse didn't get enough processor time to move and there wasn't enough ram to start another login shell or http connection!

    Despite the BOFH myths, which I am guilty of perpetuating, not all sysadmins are jackasses. So long as the sysadmin knows you and you promise not to abuse priveledges you can get everything short of root and /dev/dsp access.

    If you really need shell access and don't want to risk losing your account just send your sysadmin a thinkgeek caffeine sampler and some shirts. Massive capacity SCSI disks are a great substitute.

    I think that the NSA's SE Linux helps us more; we are getting something for our tax dollars.

    Is this company "better" because it redistributes OSS for cash? I see that as a necessity of making the software truly free, not as anything that can particularly help us.

    M$ has been using OSS to make money for years, but where's their parade?
