  1. Re:bottom line on PCI Shortwave Receiver · · Score: 0

    Don't forget the cost of having to buy a high performance computer to run such a card. Not to mention all the memory and clockcycles that are requiered to run that driver.

  2. another dumb product on PCI Shortwave Receiver · · Score: 0

    just another dumb product. Users will be asking stupid questions like:
    - Why does my computer hang every time I try to print on my (win-)printer and use the winradio.
    - Why won't the winradio work simultaniously with my (win-)modem ?
    - Why does my 12Ghz amd Opteron 64bit processor grind to a halt upon activating my winradio - (win)audio ?
    Why don't these buggers just put a simple programmable-dsp with some memmory on board.if they want to give user/programmers a flexible card ?
    O I forgot, they have to make any and all products software based, otherwhise they won't be "innovative" anymore....

  3. Non commercial doesn't imply unprofessional. on New Linux Kernel Configuration System · · Score: 0

    Don't forget that a lot of Linux programmers are professionals who "donate" their spare time to linux programming. Also a lot of them are doing the coding in their free time at school. And yet others get paid by big companies to do the work.

    It seems like the only non-linux-professionals are those who whould make such a remark about linux.

  4. This all seems like.. on Directors Guild of America is Fighting Edited Films · · Score: 0

    Amerika Amerika land of the book burings, censorship of good naked artwork. Catcher in the rye with black marker censorship. If you do not want to be faced with the word god said in vain, or any naked human bodies within sight, do not rent or watch any movies with it in it. Do not go out and blott out, or burn, the catcher in the rye.
    People for the record the naked body of any person in itself is the nicest work of art available. Do not deny anybody of watching it.
    There is no need to automatically link nakedness with sex.

  7. what kind of adsl modem are you using on Traffic Shaping on DSL? · · Score: 0

    If you are using an ethernet adsl modem you shouldn's have the mentioned problem. Yet if you are using a USB modem you might want to get a better driver or something.

  10. Slackware is still alive !!!!! on Is Slackware Fading Away? · · Score: 0

    Slackware is still alive. I started using slackware have tried different others and sticked with slackware. Just select the series you want to install and select install all, and within no time you will be finished. It is also the only distro that will install even on a 386 with 40mb hdd to build a router. But you can also install 1.6 G Desktop.workstation.

  11. Readonly on Which Partition Types Are Superior? · · Score: 0

    Just use ext2 in the readonly mode, remounting it to rw whenever you have to make changes. If a system crashes with an ext2 filesystem mounted read only, it will be clean. Further more it is more secure, people can not change your system withou loggin in. And if you need people to be able to write to certain directories, have filesystems mounted rw to those directories.
    A sample fstab:

    /dev/sdc1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
    /dev/sdc2 /home/ftp/ ext2 ro,defaults 1 1
    /dev/sdc1 /home/ftp/upload ext2 defaults 1 1
    etc

  12. nice, a kernel with a backdoor built into it.. on New Security-Enhanced Linux Release · · Score: 0

    okay maybe not a system wide backdoor , but atleast a secure uncryption data backdoor.

  13. Blown out soundcard with speaker on Lawsuit Alleges That Palms Damage Motherboards · · Score: 0

    I have in the past blown out a chip on aa soundcard simply by connecting the left channel rca plug in the output plug for the second speaker. The chip on the soundcard actualy cracked and melted slightly.
    A lot of motherboard/device manufacturers leave protection of output out, in order to save time and money developing the board.

  16. PLEASE PEOPLE DO NOT FORGET LINUX RUNS ON MACS TOO on No Love For Darwin? · · Score: 1

    At the office I have a quite old mac (7100) with the dreaded NUBUS so it runs only MKLinux , it does go slooowwww due to the mach kernel design ( also used in Darwin) sut it runs 24/7 when necesary. I am waiting in the mean time for a linux kernel that runs without the mach kernel on nubus macs.
    On the other side all Mac-OSes are really bad programmed and really vurnable to stupid plugins that are needed for things Quicktime. The stupid part of the plugins is the fact that they have to be laden at startup. Even though these are not needed to run the system.
    Except of course for Mac-OS X which is a decent unix version. Too bad though it is using Darwin on top of the Mach kernel, this architecture slows the system down remarkebly.

    What is so special about an odd day ?
    what is so special about the number 13 ?
    What is so special about the number 2000 ?
    What is so special about the number 356/5 ?

    Well they are all just a part of the whole universe of numbers, but still they are not special. They are just combined cifers. If somebody wants to live by numbers so be it, but I would rather live by being alive.

  21. Re:Linux Compatible? Quit using shitty hardware!@# on IBM Thinkpad 600E to be certified "compatible" · · Score: 1

    DSP != standard modem.

    Winmodem = DSP only.

    Standard modem = DSP + communications processor.

    A winmodem does Anolog- digital conversion only. A winmodem is similiar to a sound card.

    A 'real modem' processes the output of a dsp to data.

    You can connect a dumb terminal to a 'real' modem.

    A 'real' modem uses 0% of cpu time to communicate. A winmodem uses 100% of cpu time to communicate.

    You cannot print to a winprinter while using a winmodem to browse the internet.
