  1. Re:Why two ethernet controllers? on nForce2 Preview · · Score: 1

    Personally, I would be frustrated by any machine where I don't have the option to fall back to a local terminal when things go wrong. As rare as it may be, servers are a pain to troubleshoot if you for some reason can't get to them remotely.

  2. Re:Why two ethernet controllers? on nForce2 Preview · · Score: 1

    It's for motherboards where space is limited too. I'd like a server motherboard that has the integrated video for instance, since I don't care about keeping latest-greatest video support there, but definitely don't want to waste space for a video card.

    By building it into the chipset, they allow a variety of different motherboards for all sorts of applications to be developed using just one chip.

  3. Re:False Alarms get annoying for real admins on Network Intrusion Detection Systems Fail to Impress · · Score: 1

    So the IDS did alarm you to a misconfiguration in your network that was preventing you from correctly administering your machines the way you intended. Isn't this a good thing? Didn't it alert you to behaviour on yoru network that you didn't approve of? Isn't that the point?

  4. Dbian unstable not stable enough for a home user? on A Linux User Goes Back · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I was getting tired of the 'stable' Debian release being so out of date, and the 'unstable' distribution being so... well... unstable. I got tired of stable too, so I apt-get dist-upgraded to unstable and I can't believe he found it too unstable, especially if Windows was the alternative. As long as my server isn't mission-critical, unstable is plenty stable for me where I can't remember the last time I needed to reboot for a crash. But perhaps as a home user, his demands are more than meets the eye...

  5. Re:Movie industry makes sale worthwhile on Music Industry Staggers While Film Industry Blooms · · Score: 1

    Alright, but those songs not on the radio that you like I'm guessing don't have other songs on the radio. I'm assuming you don't mean you like the 8 songs Briney or the latest boy band didn't find worth releasing, but just not the ones they have on the radio.

  6. Re:just wait for dvd burners on Music Industry Staggers While Film Industry Blooms · · Score: 1

    The music industry never complained much about music piracy until MP3s. CD Burners were cheap enough before MP3s became popular.
