  1. Re:InterNIC Restrictions? on Why Is Internic Restricting WHOIS Queries? · · Score: 1

    Under FreeBSD, or Solaris or several others, if 'whois' takes the -h flag you can use:
    whois -h whois.networksolutions.com domainname
    and it will give detailed info.

    fwhois on redhat doesn't support it, not sure about other distros

  2. Re:Oh, stop being so predictable on Windows 2000 Has 65,000+ Bugs · · Score: 1

    Well, you all make good points about driver issues
    etc. My point is, NT and now Win2k aren't supposed to allow either:
    a) Bad drivers into the OS
    b) Allow running software to crash the machine.

    This appears to not be the case though.
    Don't get me wrong, I am not a crazy linux fanatic, but I don't appreciate rebooting twice a day.

    Linux has bad drivers sometimes (or none), but it's not an OS supported by the driver manufacturers, more often than not it's some guy who wrote it so the device he had would work.

    Win2k is supposed to be Microsoft's best and most stable OS to date, it's not. NT was more stable. I should be able to install a million poorly written Win32 apps, and Win2k shouldn't bat an eye. (I know in an ideal world :) )

    Thanks for the reponses to my previous post though, points well taken.

  3. Re:Oh, stop being so predictable on Windows 2000 Has 65,000+ Bugs · · Score: 1

    That's funny, I run Win2000 RTM at work, and it crashes on me twice a day. Not BSOD, but just hangs. I ran Linux at work for 3 months, and it didn't crash once. We run FreeBSD on our machines, and it stays up for over 100 days, with over 2 million hits a day on it. Windows 2000 sucks, and I only have it so I can run things that need NT, but don't want to lose my USB mouse.

  4. Core Dump on Smell Mail to Replace E-mail? · · Score: 1

    When your CGI or web server seg faults, it smells like a dump.

    The size of the dump you would smell is relative to the size of the core file.

    5k - 99k -> Small Shitzhu (sp?)
    100k 699k -> dirty beer sh*ts
    700k+ - A hippo with dirty beer sh*ts


  5. Re:Just speculation... on Quake 1 GPL'ed · · Score: 1

    You mean besides making the best games on the planet and opening the source to Doom and Quake as well as keep OpenGL popular when everyone else is going to evil Direct3D?
