  2. Re:Actually, on Avalon Preview Released for XP · · Score: 1

    looks like firefox is going by the metric system then, dividing by 1000 and not 1024 for file sizes. They must participate in the same conspiracy the hard drive makers do!

  3. Actually, on Avalon Preview Released for XP · · Score: 2, Funny

    it's 255.3mb, and 261,450kb. And what u talkin bout willis? My download started at 1400KB/sec and trickled down to my 5mbit cap!

  4. a kabosh? on Does the World Need Binary XML? · · Score: 1

    looks like the developer in question is a little too close to his prize development. speeding up xml by removing all the bloat, however that would be accomplished, be it compiling xml into some sort of byte code or whatnot, seems like a much better idea from the client and server point of view. why transfer 100kb of text data when you can send 10kb of binary data for the same message?

  6. Nice, on Free Windows Software Without Spyware/Adware · · Score: 0, Troll
    Good to know that there are THIRTY NINE free applications for windows that don't include spyware.

    Just for some comparison:
    There are currently 12157 ports in the FreeBSD Ports Collection.

  8. Re:Memory usage? on GNOME 2.8 Released · · Score: 1

    Strange. I run KDE on my P2 366mhz with 192MB ram laptop and it runs great, plugged in or not. Sure, it uses up 75% of the availible ram, but I can run kismet, firefox and thunderbird at the same time with out much trouble.

  10. Re:Video on demand? on Gates Predicts DVD Obsolete In 10 Years · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually video on demand is everywhere digital cable or DirecTV or Dish Network is. With Time Warner I just surf to channel 600, buy a showing of some movie, and there it is, on demand, on my tv screen. No, this isn't done over the internet, but it does exist.

    No, those specs are fine. Microsoft is about to announce that Longhorn will debut in 2007

  17. Ok great on Geronimo 1.0 Milestone Build M1 Released · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Nice, but what exactly does it DO? Thanks for all the information about how big a milestone it is, but don't you think some information on what it is would be useful?

  18. Re:Apple PowerBook G4 support? on NetStumbler v0.4 Released · · Score: 1

    Kismet also supports the Airport card with the vhia drivers (that come with Kismac). It is a real pain to get working properly, though.

  19. Re:Kismet on NetStumbler v0.4 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    When you are sniffing with kismet, you are putting your card into a monitor mode, which basicly shows you everything that is going over the air. This includes the 802.11 encapsulation packets, beacon frames, probe requests, etc. When you are in monitor mode you can't be associated with an access point.

    On the other hand, when you sniff with ethereal when connected to the network, you are sniffing the ethernet network, not the wireless network. It's like sniffing inside a pptp tunnel, you don't see the raw ppp frames.

  20. Re:Wait ... on Apple Announces New Pro Software · · Score: 1

    Looks like an Xsan using 16 Xserves and 10 fully loaded XRAIDs (35tb) would price out to about USD$150k with a 16 port Intel 2gb fiber channel switch. How does this compare to current products? Seems like this is a great price to me for the functionality.

  21. hmm on BIC-TCP 6,000 Times Quicker Than DSL · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This seems misleading. The artical says:
    "What takes TCP two hours to determine, BIC can do in less than one second,"

    Which looks to me like it can figure out the maximum bandwidth of a channel in a fraction of the time it generally takes TCP to do it, so as soon as you start transmitting at 100mbit you are using the entire pipe. Sure, its 6000 times faster than DSL but its not when it is used over the same DSL pipe. This is for getting data accross faster when you have massive bandwidth, not for bringing broadband into homes.

    If you are going into networking, you'd be better suited to the RIT IT/ANSA program. http://www.it.rit.edu.
