  1. Re:It does matter... on Gentoo 2004.2 Released · · Score: 1

    No, it's the dependencies that are the issue not the package itself.

  2. Re:It does matter... on Gentoo 2004.2 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Never, ever, ever, unless you like broken boxes use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS.

    Instead, man portage and read about /etc/portage/package.keywords

  3. Exchange 2000/2003 on Microsoft to Deploy SPF for Hotmail Users · · Score: 1

    So when can we expect Exchange to begin supporting SPF?

  4. The DEA and others have these around Houston... on 1984 Comes To Boston · · Score: 1

    The DEA has these around Houston already with access for others as well. The management can just tune to a channel on their TV and get to see an intersection of some sort. The IT guy told me they operated on Microwave and were throughout the city.

  5. Re:To those wondering.. on PhoneGaim Brings Phone Calling To IM Users · · Score: 1

    That's IAX not AIX.

  6. Beta test it? on New Google Groups in Beta · · Score: 5, Funny

    Beta test it?

    "Server Error

    Please try again in 30 seconds."

    Well, I did my part!

  7. Re:Current TIVOs? on EFF Begins Digital Television Liberation Project · · Score: 1

    My DTV box has RCA out plugs. I can just hook anything I want there. I guess new TVs and DTV boxes are involved too...

  8. Current TIVOs? on EFF Begins Digital Television Liberation Project · · Score: 1

    What stops you from intercepting the video/audio over the RCA or Coaxial cables, just like people do now with their VCRs?

    Also what is to happen to our current TIVOs? Will they no longer record digital cable?

  9. Re:Wow, lots of dumb responses... on FourHead: One PC, Four Users · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why don't you RTFA and you'll see how it's done. Also, have you ever heard of USB?

  10. Re:Analogy? on Cut-Rate Windows 'XP Starter Edition' in Thailand · · Score: 2, Informative

    Exchange does much,much more than just email.

    Shared Calendars, tasks, public folders? All in the same client?

    If you compare your sendmail/postfix/whatever server "equally" to Exchange you don't know what you are talking about.

  11. Re:Chasing the Windows Rainbow... on Windows Compatability on the Linux Desktop · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What's the point? Now you have to have a Windows license and a VMware license. You have you train users to operate an OS inside of an OS.

    I actually think this is the worst (but some reason most popular) resolution.

  12. Re:Very Interesting on Build A Darknet To Capture Naughty Traffic · · Score: 1

    What firewall software are you using?

  13. FSF Patents? on McAfee Granted Far-Reaching Spam-Control Patent · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Has anyone thought the only way to combat this maybe to have the FSF start patenting things? I'm not sure of the cost, but at least it'll prevent evil corps from doing it first.

    I'm running Gentoo, using 2.6 and using the Cisco VPN Client.

  15. Re:Oh goody. on Cisco Applies For Patents To Secured TCP · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you look at their Host based IDS solution it's pretty impressive. It prevents users from doing incredibly stupid things on their workstations and reports back to a central server.

  16. Re:7.6% is one number but there are many reasons on 2003 CD Sales Officially Down 7.6 Percent · · Score: 3, Funny

    <i>It's hard as hell to get signed, and the artist has to eat.</i>

    Why can't the artist get a job like the rest of us?

    I personally can't wait for the first PPC64 Thinkpad. :)

    Oh, I thought they were talking about pictures of Dell equipment.

  19. Apple on IBM Plans Collaboration On Power Architecture · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does apple have any say in this at all? What's to stop people from building custom Macs?

    I for one was just thinking about how I wish PowerPC was more open. This will give us an alternate platform to work with in case DRM/MS does kill x86.

  20. What's to stop tunneling? on China Blocks Typepad, Prompts Weblog Blackout · · Score: 1

    What is to stop a chinese admin from buying a server at a US colocation facility and setting up a proxy on the colocated server? Then he can use SSH tunneling to tunnel to the proxy server.

    Does the chinese government block SSH too?

  21. Re:RFID is good tech with great abuse potential on Senator Leahy Calls for RFID Technology Hearings · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I agree. My worry is not so much monitoring as it is public safety. How do I know twenty years from now my girlfriends/SOs necklace/ring won't have an RFID tag in it saying what it is and how much it's worth. Some shady character comes along, uses his blackmarket scanner to figure out if she's worth mugging and then mugs her.

    I know it's a stretch, and I know most petty muggers won't have RFID scanners...

    Another example: What's to stop a car jacker from stealing my laptop out of my car while I get a drink or pay for my gas? If he knows it's there then he knows he'll get something more than a few CDs worth out of breaking into my car...

  22. What does this mean? on EU Fines Microsoft $613 Million, Officially · · Score: 1

    120 days to give programming codes to rivals in the server market to allow 'full interoperability' with desktops running Windows.

    What exactly does this mean? Release the code so Samba can join an AD domain correctly?

    That doesn't make much sense, there has only been a Fry's in Houston for the past two years.

    You should open source that custom system.

  25. DRM can it go far? on Phoenix DRM Reads Your E-Mail · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Hopefully the big manufacturers don't use Pheonix and come up with thier own (or continue using their own, whatever the case).

    I find it real hard to believe IBM will allow DRM to get to the point where Linux is unusable/"untrusted" on a machine.

    I also find it hard to believe that Microsoft will be able to lock the internet down to the point where only Windows workstations can get to websites anyways. /Even/ if it did happen, I doubt the EU would let it go far. So even if the corrupt US lets MS win, I can buy a web proxy in the EU for surfing. Sucks, but it's better than losing my right to choose.
