  1. Re:SSH is forbidden here on Ask Slashdot: FTP Server Honeypots? · · Score: 1

    Run an SSH daemon on port 443, use ntlmaps to create a local proxy and route it through your proxy at work. Guess what happens? (Well, it should work if they don't actually use an application layer filter anyway :p).

  2. Re:Brussels, Switzerland? on Solar-Powered Airplane Completes First International Flight · · Score: 1

    Oh, and where exactly is Brussels Airport (BRU) located numbnuts? In Zaventem, which - last time I checked - still is in Flanders, not Brussels, not Wallonia. The corridor proposed by the French imperialists doesn't include Zaventem either (Sint-Genesius-Rode will do), so selling it off to Switzerland is out of the question, next try :p.

  3. Re:Brussels, Switzerland? on Solar-Powered Airplane Completes First International Flight · · Score: 1

    The Dutch (Netherlands) speak the same language as the Belgians with slightly different grammar and pronunciation (although it's the exact same language).

    Now that would be a novelty, and we'd already have a government if that were the case :p. But sadly, only about 60% of the Belgians speaks Dutch (or Flemish), and the other 40% speak French (Walloon).

  4. Re:Awesome Geography ! on Solar-Powered Airplane Completes First International Flight · · Score: 1

    If you really had a Belgian passport then you should also know that Brussels International Airport (BRU) is based in Zaventem (Flanders, Belgium), and not in Brussels itself :p.

  5. Re:Not nearly as bad... on The Great Firewall of Europe · · Score: 1

    Let them do it. From what I'm reading, they think the Internet is a place in Germany.

    Last time I checked Brussels was in Belgium, and I didn't feel the Earth move here today, so I guess it still is...

  6. Re:Package management on Why Mac OS X Is Unsuitable For Web Development · · Score: 1

    Not only does he have to understand Linux package systems better, he should also try to cover the basics when it comes to Mac development and more specifically package management on OS X. Mac OS X ships with it's own package format (pkg, http://developer.apple.com/tools/installerpolicy.html), so you don't need 3rd party package managers. Rolling your own packages for it is a breeze compared to having to roll your own RPM/DEB, BUT there's one caveat : dependency resolution (as in : it doesn't do that - afaik anyway, I just touched the surface though :p)...

  7. Re:ipv6 support on Cisco/Linksys routers on Cisco Linksys Routers Still Don't Support IPv6 · · Score: 1

    According to this you should be able to get IPv6 with 4Mb RAM too (never tried it though, and since my ISP still doesn't support it I'm not going to anytime soon either :p).

  8. Re:Ridiculous on Apple eBook Rules Changing For Sellers · · Score: 1

    Nah, the obvious move here is to let Apple users keep there shine piece of hardware, but move the content solely to other platforms. Lets see what hoops Apple will jump through when that happens :p.

  9. Re:Carte blanche on In France, Hadopi Reporting Begins, With (Only) 10,000 IP Addresses Per Day · · Score: 1

    Good luck finding a dingo in France! You'd have better luck tattooing a frog or a snail (hmmm, escargots) :p.

  10. Re:You've got to be shitting me. on Music Festival Producer Pre-Sues Bootleggers · · Score: 1

    Well, over here (in that small EU non-country :p) we pay a nominal fee on all storage media (be it a CD, USB key, harddrive, whatever) just in case we would put some pirated material on it AND they still sue you when you do just that and get caught. Nice, heh?

  11. Re:This is really tiresome on iPhone Jailbreak Uses a PDF Display Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    If the biggest software houses can't even write a PDF viewer that's failsafe, then perhaps we should stop using PDF and work with a really simple bitmap format. Thing is, I have a hunch that they would screw that up too.

    Well, actually they already screwed that up in the past, or don't you remember MS with its JPEG vulnerabilities (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-028.mspx)?

  12. Old news - it was on E3 2009 on Microsoft Shows Off 'Milo' Virtual Human · · Score: 1

    Err, how comes this was only posted today? Did the video arrive through snail mail? For those who want to see the complete video instead of this badly cut-up one, it has been posted on YouTube more than 1 year ago : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HluWsMlfj68

  13. Re:Does mysql support non-literals for default val on MySQL to Counter Oracle's Purchase of InnoDB · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should have spent the 3 hours on reading the docs, because one of the features of MySQL (prior to 4.1) is that the FIRST timestamp column of any record is automatically updated to the current date/time whenever you change (insert/update/replace) a record. This default behaviour has changed since MySQL 4.1, now you can specify if you still wish to use this behaviour or not, or if you want another TIMESTAMP to change : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/timestamp-4 -1.html

  14. Re:Work-around on File Sharing Difficulties Frustrate Tiger Admins · · Score: 1

    If this is true, then this issue/bug is definately not restricted to Tiger. I'm having the same problem in Panther since one of the upgrades (I don't recall which one :p), and I know quite a few people on Mac forums I frequently visit that are having the same problem.

  15. Re:which version of IE was it? on IE Shines On Broken Code · · Score: 1

    Indeed, I seem to recall something in IE 5, which led to a crash. Someone still using it? If so, create a HTML page with an , if memory serves me right it will crash Internet Explorer :p.

    It's a lawyer that knows exactly how to act like a cyberstalker. Shouldn't Katie J. file a complaint there? >:-)

  18. Re:Recent spam on Volunteering for OSS == Sign Up for Spam? · · Score: 1

    I use both POPFile (at home) and SpamBayes (at work). They both work like a charm...

  19. Re:MS seems to be doing a lot of this lately... on Free Optimizing C++ Compiler from Microsoft · · Score: 1
    One of the reasons for the success of OSX is the general geek crowd's appreciation of it's *IX background, but without free dev tools that's nothing but another flavour of unix.
    Mac OS X has XCode (at least Panther - OS 10.3 - does), and you can download Eclipse as well (it's one of the first things I did).
