  1. Hardly on Building a Linux XBOX Cluster · · Score: 4, Insightful
    a neat project any hardware hacker could appreciate
    Hardly! Running Linux or some other OS on an XBox might have been a neat trick a few years ago but now it's old hat. Hell, my grandmother could do it if I pointed her to a good website. Likwise with the Beowolf cluster. Such clusters aren't exactly difficult to construct anymore especially with the advent of projects like OSCAR.
  2. Fuck 'em! on Dealing with Inherited Data and Code? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Burn it all.

  3. Can't hardly wait for Plone 3. on Zope X3 3.0.0 Released · · Score: 2

    It's good to hear that Zope v3 has been released. I now egarly await what I assume will be version 3 of the Zope based content management system Plone.

  4. Re:PHP Alternative on Zope X3 3.0.0 Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    "If you're looking for a PHP alternative, Drupal is as close as it gets. (www.drupal.org)"
    Insightful?!?! Drupal is writen in PHP!
  5. Native BitTorrent support for Firefox on BitTorrent Accounts for 35% of Traffic · · Score: 2, Interesting

    With the obvious success of BitTorrent I wonder why Firefox doesn't support it nativly as a transfer protocol. BitTorrent is a much simpler then SVG and navive support (not via an extension) for it is currently being worked on.

  6. Torrent? on New Bin Laden Tape Surfaces · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have a torrent?

  7. Re:Google needs to toss its cookies... on Gmail Accounts Vulnerable to XSS Exploit · · Score: 5, Informative
    What I don't like about it is that it doesn't use SSL after you log in.
    Actaully if you enter "https://gmail.google.com/gmail" in the location bar of your favorite browser you will continue to use a SSL secured connetion after for the duration of your session.
  8. Open Audio on Free Software Friendly Graphics Card? · · Score: 2, Informative
    If you're interested in an open audio solution take a look at the Audio DSP project over at OpenCores.Org.
    From the web page:
    Target of this project is development FPGA and/or FPGA powered real time audio DSP applications. This is Free (like freedom) Hardware project, a PCI card with stand-alone possibility, with high-end digital and analog audio interfaces and MIDI.
  9. Re:Proneenciation? on Linus Interviewed · · Score: 1

    The file that he is speaking of is always availiable on the official Linux kernel distribution site. I have included the link below.
    http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/SillySounds/

  10. Embedded or not embedded? on RT Linux Patches · · Score: 1

    What does embedded mean anymore? It's hard to define. An MCU in a microwave is defintly embedded but what about the processor in a new high end digial oscilliscope? IMHO test and measurement would usually be considered embedded, it is deffinitly real-time. If a scope doesn't acuratly record/display the data it is monitoring acuratly as a function of time then it is useless.

  11. Re:I wonder if it's true real-time on RT Linux Patches · · Score: 1

    Be aware that there has been some question weather or not Timesys is violoating the GPL. I don't have the links on me but if you search the LKML for "Timesys" you will find at least a couple of messages questioning their proprietary scheduler work. --adam

  12. Tactical nuke on Dealing with Intruders? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm surprised nobody has suggested this before but I would recommend a tactical nuclear strike against the intruder. I've found that this simple step typically quells the attack.

  13. AH!!! on On the Possible Handtop Paradigm Shift · · Score: 3, Funny

    That was way too much hype and marketing speak this early in the morning.

  14. Re:Sure, RAID 0 is great for data loss! on Raid 0: Blessing or hype? · · Score: 1
    "As opposed to having a single disk which, when it goes byebye preserves your data?
    Acually with a two drive RAID-0 set you are twice as likely to loose your data as if you were just running one disk.
  15. Re:Figures on Intel Begins Shipping 64-bit Prescotts · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I would be very carefull about saying that nothing compares to an Intel chipset and CPU combo. You might want to take a look at Apple's dual 970 offerings.

  16. So what.... on Intel Begins Shipping 64-bit Prescotts · · Score: 1

    If I were Intel I would be pretty quiet about it as well. How well can one or two of these stack up against a uni or dual Opteron? Sure they have the contiguous memory support (36 bits of it IIRC) but they are lacking the NUMA style Hypertransport interconnects and the on die memory controller.

  17. Mixmaster for TCP? on Tor: A JAP Replacement · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This sounds a lot like an implementation of Mixmaster for TCP.

  18. Re:puts on the black glass on Microsoft has Delayed SP2, Again · · Score: 1

    Enough with the hacks. Give me propper CSS/XHTML implemenation of Slashdot. That was if don't like the way it looks I just just apply my own stylesheet and be happy.

  19. Wha?!?! on On The Most Boring Videogames Of All Time · · Score: 1

    Where the hell is Pitfall? Pitfall has to be the most boring game on the planet, hands down.

  20. Re:Is it just me or are people stupid these days? on AMD and Intel Update CPU Roadmaps · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "What I don't understand is why more people aren't building Pentium M desktops." It's simple. Intel's megaherts myth has finaly come around and bit them in the ass.

  21. Damn Websense on JibJab Sues for Fair Use of Right to Parody · · Score: 1

    I always liked JibJab. Their ficks are a great way to waste some time here working graveyard. Unfortunatly the company I work for recently invested in a highly anoying filtering proxy called Websense. The damn thing filters everything.

  22. Re:They've also looked into censoring web broadcas on FCC Looks Into Regulating Violence on TV · · Score: 1

    I thought your sig attributed to ESR was great "Caffeine is the greatest lubricrant ever created." I did a Google search for it and found no similar quote even with "lubricrant" spelled correctly. Where did you find this quote?

  23. It's not about the gig-o-space on How Does Gmail Stack Up In The Webmail World? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's not about the gig-o-space as much as it is about the superb interface. Don't get me wrong. I really like having all that space but the UI is really slick. I've heard a lot about the lack of folders but once you get used to the lables you wonder why nobody else had implemented it first. It's great being able more then one label to a message.

    Gmail isn't perfect. If it were it wouldn't still be in beta. The filters and addressbook are a bit primitave. I would also really like to have the ability to filter based upon a Google search.

    Thus far I give Gmail an A+ and don't see any sign of Google slowing down with it's development and improvment.

  24. Re:Has been done before on Build Your Own Electric Etch-A-Sketch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You must be new here or your post would have refered to the GIMP.

  25. Re:Effective? on Novell as Open Source Hero? · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should do as so many have in the oil industry (i.e. ExxonMobil, ChevronTexaco and ConocoPhillips) and just concatenate the names of the two companies. NovelSuSE or maybe SuSENovel (I prefer the former).
