  1. In this specific case... on Getting Company Owners To Follow Their Own Rules? · · Score: 1

    ...why don't you do the backups over the network in the first place? You usually can't force your bosses to do anything, so you work around whatever they do.

  2. Re:Squid. on Browsing Frugally Without Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 1

    I'd rather use wwwoffle. Haven't used it in years, but last time I did it cached everything, including flash movies, very well.

  3. Interview with the district attorney on Sharing 2,999 Songs, 199 Movies Is Safe In Germany · · Score: 2, Informative

    part 1 and part 2. Beware, google translation ahead.

  4. Re:they should brand one for the Euro market then on Google "Loses" Gmail in Europe · · Score: 1

    Nope, it would be Deutsche Post.

  5. Re:Confusion on Mars Space Suit Trials in North Dakota · · Score: 1

    Because it doesn't rain on mars.

  6. Re:"Tinnitus is horrible..." on Earbud Headphones May Cause Hearing Loss · · Score: 1

    A few weeks ago I read something about an intersting method for an improved life with tinnitus in a medical journal. You can read an abstract at http://www.psycontent.com/abstracts/hh/mtk/2005/01 /body-mtk1601001.html Maybe there's some hope.

  7. Re:need to fix spolight too on Apple Releases OS X 10.4.2 Update · · Score: 1
    The thing keeping me from that is that I'd lose my mail search.

    Here's what i did:
    sudo mdutil -i off / /Volumes/*
    sudo mdutil -E / /Volumes/*
    And searching my mails from within Mail.app still works. man mdutil is your friend.

  8. Re:want sarge now? on Social Contract Amendment May Bump Sarge To 2005 · · Score: 2, Informative

    oh come on, please RTFM and don't give bad advice. That will completely break your system. do apt-get -u dist-upgrade instead.

    upgrade: "upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed"

    dist-upgrade: "dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages;" -> resolves all dependencies.

    Of course in the past, dselect has been the official choice to upgrade to testing. And don't even thin about putting testing on a server

  9. Re:Let me see if I've got this... on Debian Removes Binary-only Firmware From Kernel · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The problem here is that using binary garbage is against the spirit of the GPL.

    Not only the spirit, the GPL is pretty clear:

    From section 3:

    "The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it."

    Go on and modify those hexdumps.
