  1. Cox San Diego on How Much Broadband Usage is Too Much? · · Score: 1

    Cox San Diego has been limiting us to 1gig daily. I believe it's up AND down traffic which sucks ass. 1.5gig down would be more reasonable so I can download 3 isos

  2. Re:Another RMS post on Stallman On Free Software and GNU's 20th birthday · · Score: 1

    Maybe something like comparator, a utility ESR released for analyzing the similarity of source codes? ESR gathering evidence from kernel hackers for use against SCO? Bruce Perens disassembling piece by piece SCO's Las Vegas slidshow? Both of them debunking SCO's claims w/ facts and working on this on their own time? Would you like some links?

    "he wants a GNU system with the Linux kernel called GNU/Linux."

    As I said before, just words, that's all. It doesn't matter what it's called as long it's released under the GPL, people use the code and contribute back to it. He has done a lot in the past but now he just talks and Perens and ESR seem to see a problem w/ SCO and are actually doing something about it instead of bitching about GNU/Linux vs Linux.

    Well, at least this didn't turn into a flame war. Kind of surprising when a disagreement on /. doesn't turn into a flame war :)

  5. Another RMS post on Stallman On Free Software and GNU's 20th birthday · · Score: 4, Interesting

    RMS is all talk and no walk. Take a look at what ESR and Perens have been doing to combat SCO. Then you see comments where all he does is worry about Linux being identified as GNU. Reminds of the zealots who have to pronounce GNU (guhnew" and Gnome similary and always have to say GNU/Linux not just Linux. Who cares?! It's just words.
    Here's Stallman's comments:
    ""I am concerned about long-term entrenched confusions such as referring to a version of our GNU OS as 'Linux' and thinking that our work on free software was motivated by the ideas associated with 'open source.' These confusions lead users away from the basic issue: their freedom. By comparison, the events involving SCO are transitory and almost trivial," Stallman says".

    "Libranet is working on the same thing in a free Debian repository, and stating that it will always remain free."

    Has XAdminmenu been released under any sort of license?

  7. One thing he missed on Extensive Xandros 2.0 Deluxe Review · · Score: 2, Informative

    He mentions towards the end how happy he is w/ Libranet since nothing in Libranet is proprietary code. As far as I know their (wonderful) XAdminMenu utility is NOT released under the GPL.

  14. Little word of warning on Review of the Mirra Home Backup System · · Score: 4, Informative

    I have that exact case/mobo running OpenBSD 3.4 as my home firewall and it's much louder than you would think. The source of the noise is the power supply. Just as loud if not louder than the Enermax 330w on my Athlon system.

    The only difference I can find is that I have a Via 933mhz compared to the 1ghz on the Mirra. I had to strip the mounting bracket off of the 3Com NIC I added and secure it w/ double sided tape since it just wouldn't fit otherwise.

    Other than that, it's a pretty good investment for me ocnsidering it was $160 at Fry's sans memory and hard drive. Very reliable, doesn't take up much space. Just noisy. Maybe I could find another quieter power supply?
