  1. Alternative PHP Cache on PHP 6 and What to Expect · · Score: 1

    It's a pity they decided in favor of APC and not eAccelerator (the successor of turck mmcache), which is a lot faster in my experience.

  2. live.com domain on MS To Launch Internet Versions of Office And Windows · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I really wonder how much they had to pay for live.com. According to whois the domain was just updated on Oct 31.

  3. I smell some CDDB here on IMDb Turns 15 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ..a community project which evolved into a company just bringing money to a very small percentage of people involved in the original project. How sad.

  4. end-user loyalty on Google's Rasmussen on Google Maps · · Score: 1

    I didn't notice anything of this end-user loyalty when Google switched from the old Google Groups to the new layout & design. The old, loyal user base cried out against this move but Google didn't listen.

  5. Re:What? on Opera Reaches 1 Million Downloads Thanks To Google · · Score: 1

    That's why the story title and body is misleading too: The downloads of Opera are totally independant of this deal with Google. The profit of Opera ASA of course is not, but the downloads are!

  6. Working download link on Gallery 2.0 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Since the gallery.menalto-site seems to be slashdotted already here's a working download link at least, directly from sourceforge.net: gallery 2.0 file list

  7. Ok.. on Enlightenment DR17 On the Linux Desktop · · Score: 5, Informative

    - but where's the review now? Did you wonder this too? Well, here it is! VectorLinux 5.1 Deluxe Review

  8. Correct link on Miro Replies to Mambo Allegations · · Score: 4, Informative

    Correct link, since the link in the story is to the main page.

  9. Sample chapter here on Rootkits: Subverting the Windows Kernel · · Score: 1

    Try before you buy and check out the book's sample chapter, Leave No Trace now!

  10. 5 tons on Deep Impact Comet-Smashing Video · · Score: 3, Informative

    It would be really cool if at least the submitters of new stories read their linked articles; the page clearly states that there won't be 5 kilotons, but the equivalent of 5 tons of TNT.

  11. Full-disclosure link on Microsoft Genuine Advantage Cracked · · Score: 4, Interesting
  12. Good question on OSS Library Management Solutions? · · Score: 1

    I've been searching for such an app too. OSS, should have the ability to import data from amazon by scanning the barcode of the book, cross-platform, including an OPAC.. Suggestions anyone? Thanks.

  13. PostgreSQL on MySQL 5.0.3-beta Released · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    is still better and a real enterprise grade (O)RDBMS in contrast to mysql lol

  14. ask slashdot on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    3rd ask slashdot in a row

    karma to burn

  15. Forget it on MPAA Developing Digital Fingerprinting Technology · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Trying to make bits uncopyable is like trying to make water not wet. -- Bruce Schneier

  16. Be sure to also read.. on HP's Crossbar Latch... Next-Gen Transistor? · · Score: 5, Informative

    ..the Original statement by HP and even more important HP's paper in the Journal of Applied Physics.

  17. Just use this free usenet server: on AOL Kills Usenet Access · · Score: 5, Informative

    While it does not provide access to binary groups (for understandable reasons) it works really well for normal text groups. And it's free, all you have to do is registering: news.individual.net

  18. Re:The main answer: on Closed Digital Cameras - Does Anyone Care? · · Score: 1

    But by being digital they have a much greater potential. For example including a GPS with the camera so that the position where each photo is made is recorded in the EXIF header of the images. Or wireless and automatic transfer of pictures made as soon as I put the camera near my computer. I think the possibilities here would be (nearly) endless! Or just simple automated shooting of pictures with specific intervals. Scriptable, like the Kodaks already mentioned.
    Of course, both of the features I have mentioned are available for pro photographers who are able to shed out some thousand dollars for their equipment. But I think from the hardware perspective this should even be able for nowaday's consumer cameras.

    Apart from all these possibilities I see I also have to wonder about politics. Everywhere geeks are complaining about closed standards, closed software but they don't mind using absolutely closed cameras? That seems strange to me.

  19. dupe on World's Shortest P2P App: 15 Lines · · Score: -1, Redundant

    It's a dupe

  20. Re:Why? on Delphi Renaissance · · Score: 1

    Ok, I see and (and least I think so) understand. Thank you for your answer.

  21. Re:Why? on Delphi Renaissance · · Score: 1

    Can you elaborate on how Java does this connection between GUI and code if not with this event-driven model? Or do you have any links with a short description about it? I'd be really interested since I can't imagine much else apart from the way Delphi etc. do it. Thanks!

  22. URL Naming Bug on Top Ten Persistent Design Flaws · · Score: 1

    Quote from the so-called URL Naming Bug, in which Bruce proposes to remove all spaces from user-entered URLs before matching them: This sceme is analogous with how modern systems handle case, allowing both supplier and user the freedom to use whatever case they want by converting everything to lower case immediately before matching.

    Uh-uh? Aren't Unix-like systems "modern" anymore? Just the Windows-way is the Right Thing(tm) to do? That's a bit strange in my opinion. This case-insensitivity might be nice for web pages when people used to Windows don't really care about case but I think that's what e.g. Apache's mod_speling is for.

  23. Re:Bleh.. on Wireless Mouse with no Batteries · · Score: 1

    lol, that's a nice thought. Thanks for it! :) Kind regards, Calroth! K.

  24. Bleh.. on Wireless Mouse with no Batteries · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ..if you already "invent" a wireless mouse, why not get the power from the movement the human being makes? I guess I'd notice a slight strenghtening of the movement!

  25. Actually on OpenBSD 3.6 Released! · · Score: 4, Informative

    ..it was released on 29th of October already, as you can read here. When download, please don't forget to use the torrent!
