  1. Re:Really on Red Hat & Centos On Name Usage · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Every piece of software that requires RHEL 3.0 for support will be able to run on this platform.

    I wonder. Will Oracle install on Centos if Centos can't say it's binary-compatible with Red Hat?

  2. Re:Switching images is far more fun on Dealing with Deep-Linking to Your Online Photos? · · Score: 1

    Dude, save use the trouble and link to it.

  3. Re:Here's what I did on Dealing with Deep-Linking to Your Online Photos? · · Score: 1

    That's awesome.

  4. Re:Pathetic on Samsung's Linux-based Diskless Camcorder · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Canon S1 IS has 10X optical zoom, image stabilization, 30fps 640x480 movies, 3.2 MP still shots, and uses CF cards - all for around $300. Check out this review.

  5. Re:Server? on Low-bandwidth Net Radio · · Score: 1

    Both Shoutcast and Icecast support AAC streams. But as for AACplus, I'm not sure but I'd say "probably".

  6. Re:What privacy issue? on Dispute Continues Over Posthumous Yahoo! Mail · · Score: 1
    AFIK there is no *secular* injunction against a Priest disclosing what the deceased said in the confessional.

    There is. It's considered privileged communication and neither the police nor the courts can compel a priest to divulge it.

    I am not aware of any Protestant sect which practices Confession, so the issue wouldn't arise for them.

    It can. You can have privileged communication with any priest of any faith; it can even be a private conversation with a Catholic priest outside of the confessional. All of it is protected.

  7. Re:LJ Backup/Export to XML on LiveJournal Buyout Confirmed · · Score: 1

    LJ Archive can do the same thing, and it has a pretty interface.

  8. Re:And ...? on LiveJournal Buyout Rumor · · Score: 1

    And access to their faster servers. The site will frequently slow down to a crawl for non-paid users.

  9. Obligatory Slashdot cliche on Caltech and JPL Build 50ft Robot · · Score: 4, Funny

    I for one welcome our flowered robot overlords.

  10. masterbell.com on How Do You Make International Calls? · · Score: 1

    What shows up on the caller ID of the people you're calling using the masterbell cards? I'd love to be able to make calls from work without people getting that number.

  11. Re:I use www.mywdt.com on How Do You Make International Calls? · · Score: 1

    Do you know what shows up on the caller ID of the people you're calling? I'd love to be able to make calls from work without people getting that number.

  12. Re:United Devices on IBM Grid Near 50,000 machines - Slashdot Users #13 · · Score: 1

    I think Grid.org does more, but you could have continued to use Grid.org and simply checked off "Human Proteome Folding Project" under your device profile. Grid.org and IBM are working together on this.

  13. Re:Thus spake the article on Bosses Keep Sharp Eye on Mobile Workers · · Score: 1
    I am looking forward to an automatted "potty tracker" that keeps track of how often I and my coworkers visit the restroom each day.

    It's called the "The Active Badge Location System", and Xerox developed it.

  14. inevitable and unstoppable on Bosses Keep Sharp Eye on Mobile Workers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's unfortunate that this is happening but I don't see a backlash happening any time soon. The job market is too tight and most people will just roll over and accept it until it's so pervasive that we won't remember what life was like without the leash around our necks. Kinda like marriage.

    And, for the love of God, MUTE IT!

  16. browser security check on Microsoft Not Worried about FireFox · · Score: 5, Informative
    If you're still using an older (more than 6 months since you've patched) web browser, I suggest you check out this browser security check, which will test it for exploits.

    At your own risk, of course. Firefox 1.0PR passed with flying colors.

  17. Why, you ask? on Vioxx Replaces Porn as Spam King · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If you're wondering why people would still want Vioxx, it's only dangerous if you a pre-existing cardiac condition. So if you're a healthy 20-something with a bad knee, you're probably really pissed that Vioxx got taken off the market.

  18. Re:Do They Really Need IE? on Stopping Adware and Spyware on Windows w/ Citrix? · · Score: 1
    For some reason, gmail crashes my Firefox about 1 out of every 3 times I log in.

    It's just you. I have a dozen friends and family members that have switched to Firefox and use it access Gmail - not one has a problem.

  19. sigh.... on Top Ten Advances in 2004 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's all cool stuff but nothing truly revolutionary. Where's my flying car? My transporter? I think that in 50 or a 100 years, life will be pretty much the same, except stuff will be smaller, quieter, and maybe cheaper.

  20. Candy? on ISS Food Shortage Cause Revealed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hmmmm... you know what would suck, getting a cavity or a painful toothache while in orbit.

    Dude, there's no 7-eleven near the ISS! But I hear Starbucks is opening three locations there any day now.

  22. Another Einstein Far Side on 100 Years of Einstein · · Score: 1

    This Far Side is also pretty good - "Einstein discovers that time is actually money"

  23. WTO? on Ubisoft CEO Speaks out Against EA Move · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Isn't government interference a violation of France's WTO agreement?

  24. Washington accused of trying to "remove" him on Venezuela Moves Further Toward Open Source · · Score: 1
    ...freedom does not matter much when the president is dedicated toward making his country just like one of the most totalitarian dictatorships in the world.

    Well if Washington has its way, he might be around for much longer.

  25. Re:cellular on Universal Software Radio Peripheral From GnuRadio · · Score: 1

    Umm... don't all digital cell phones (which almost everyone uses in the United States) use some kind of basic encryption? GSM phones do though it might not be perfect, I don't know about the other standards.
