  1. A Cure At Last on Pine Tree Has Largest Genome Ever Sequenced · · Score: 1

    It just has to be said - they need to figure out how to integrate that wood formation sequence into human genes, before I get much older.

    Yes, I know. But it *did* have to be said.

  2. Re:Open source? LOL on Ask Slashdot: Recommendations For Non-US Based Email Providers? · · Score: 1

    You say "open source" like it prevents source review while incorporating backdoors by command under gag orders.

    I won't be revisiting this thread, so have fun.

  3. NSA Avoidance List on Ask Slashdot: Recommendations For Non-US Based Email Providers? · · Score: 2

    Try https://prism-break.org/ for some recommendations of OS, email, IM and more.

  4. Re:Sigh.. on Researchers Turn Home Wi-Fi Router Into Spy Device · · Score: 1

    I thought the masters of disguise were the French.

  5. Re:Why TPB? I Google! on Pirate Bay Day 3 — Defense Requests Dismissal · · Score: 1

    And in one simple link, you've criminally implicated both /. and Google! It's the end of the 'net as we know it!

  6. Re:Check out their press room on SCO Loses · · Score: 1

    And in the version I've always heard, it was an AS/400... You've gotta love a really good meme!

  7. Re:What use are controls? on Interview with Dr. Bradley C. Edwards · · Score: 1

    I for one would not want a Nebraska unless... Oh, never mind.

  8. Cinepaint on Simple 2D Animation Software for UNIX-like OSes · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There's also http://cinepaint.movieeditor.com/ - a natural, if you're familiar with the Gimp.

  9. Re:Oh, right, error code -36! on File Sharing Difficulties Frustrate Tiger Admins · · Score: 1
    Thanks, I discovered that after reading this discussion and poking around on the system. It was just a layer of curiosity I hadn't gotten around to yet. It still seems odd to me that they'd document how and what to change in the smb.conf, but not how to do this and reinforce their HI guideline's "always-on" point. For that matter, I'm surprised there isn't a nice GUI panel for services management, or options in the existing panels to start/stop related services.

    I suppose that's just too much geekiness to expect. It's nice to know that it's available at the command line.

  10. Re:Oh, right, error code -36! on File Sharing Difficulties Frustrate Tiger Admins · · Score: 1

    Reading that solution as a long-time Linux user/professional Linux & Windows network admin/2nd week Mac mini owner, the thing that struck me was the last line of the instructions - "10. Restart your computer". Bleh. Is there no equivalent to "10. Type "sudo /sbin/service smb restart" and press return"? Or SWAT? Ouch. Don't flame me too hard, Mac pros, I'm just trying to learn this your platform for learning's sake :)

  11. IBM Has A Lot of Work to Do on Business Considers Open Source on Par with Commercial Software · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm running a Linux desktop at work (I'm allowed some freedom - nobody else is doing this) and it's mostly IBM tools that force me to include VMWare in the setup.

    Particularly annoying examples in our ERP's iSeries (AS/400) environment are the iSeries Navigator tool, and Websphere Dev Studio for iSeries. More and more OS/400 functions are only managable through Nav, and the CODE/400 components of WDSCi make source patching for the ERP a breeze. But the only discussions I've seen of integrating RPG editing into Eclipse (or the WDSC client's version) basically just end with "why bother?" CODE is a stand-alone Windows program is my answer to "why?". If the webfacing tools were all integrated in WDSCi it'd help people undertaking those efforts as well.

  12. Re:The Relevancy of RedHat on Red Hat EL 4.0 Released · · Score: 4, Insightful

    With much (most?) commercial database, email, etc. server software supported only on RHEL in the past, it's the familiar comortable choice for businesses that have already jumped. Remember the "E" in RHEL. More often, recently, I see Suse officially supported, but that's often a harder sell to the bosses. They've heard of Red Hat by now. How do you pronounce that Suse thing? ;-)

  13. Re:Its a dupe on A Look Into The Cell Architecture · · Score: 1
    ...pretty much moot.
    Perhaps you meant "...pretty much a mootlicate?"
  14. Chuck Yeagar's Flight Simulator on History of "Gods Eye View" 3D Game Perspective? · · Score: 1

    I remember trying to follow Chuck around in some X-plane, then watching the playback as I swerved all over the place behind him, all in a "chase plane" view... I have no idea what year that was, but it was fun.

  15. softhome.net on Which Webmail Service Do You Use? · · Score: 1

    I've been using their free POP/SMTP mail for over a year now, and it has worked very nicely. They also offer paid services with larger mail spool and transfer limits, and have a webmail interface if you want to use it.

  16. In An Unexpected Turn of Events... on Wireless Access Point Reliability? · · Score: 1

    My Linksys wireless AP/DSL router/4 port switch has run constantly for nearly two years. I just wish I'd paid today's price for it :-)

  17. Re:Insulation from vibrations noise... on Gravity Wave Detector Ready For Business · · Score: 1
    (there's no lorries in the USA 8-) )
    Right, but I think they meant "passing lorries in London". Two passing lorries, and the relativistic effects as they approach each other, may throw these things completely out of whack!

  19. OpenMail Killer Weaknesses on Can We Finally Ditch Exchange? · · Score: 1

    At work I run an OpenMail/RedHat server in an Outlook-only environment, and what you'll find is your executives and management LOVE the group by/categorize features of Outlook, which are not supported in any HP releases of the MAPI driver. A while back I looked at Samsung Connect (the new name for OM) and it still didn't have these functions - but at least they acknowledged that there were a lot of requests for it! In addition, we've encountered some peculiar behavior with attachments, especially forwarding a link to a network file (IIRC, we've learned to do without the feature as an organization...)
