  1. Re:Doesn't compile on Linux on OpenBSD Project Announces OpenBGPD · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not only the routing table, but I believe OpenBGPd has hooks into pf. Henning mentioned being able to filter and/or queue in the future based on labels assigned to packets in OpenBGPd. You might be able to strip that away for a portable version, but it certainly won't drop nicely into IPTables.

  2. Re:The sad thing... (slightly OT) on Linux on a Used Cash Register: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    Not quite sure which portions are supported on Linux, but Synchronics Counterpoint lists Linux/Unix/Netware in the System Requirements. Might only be server-side though.

  5. Re:OT, but I just submitted this story: on SCO Offers $250K Bounty for MyDoom Author's Arrest · · Score: 1

    Linux refers to the theme as "Mozilla Firebird". I thought it had become standard on Windows as well with the 0.7 release. Before 0.7 I believe it was known as Qute. Sorry I can't confirm this, as my Windows installation is damaged at the moment.

  13. Data Sharing on Review of Squeezebox MP3 Player · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would think that it would be possible to add more data sharing between iTunes and the SlimServer app. Most of the iTunes data is stored in an XML file in \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml. The SlimServer is open source, so if you really wanted that feature you might be able to hack it in yourself.

  14. Re:No land line is great on Ditching your Landline Just Got Easier · · Score: 1

    It's interesting that you mention that land lines are more reliable than cable or cell lines. After Hurricane Isabel swept through our area, the only working "land" line in our neighborhood was my neighbor's Cox cable phone line. It took several days before Verizon was able to restore service to all of their customers in the area.

  15. Danjon Scale on Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight · · Score: 4, Informative

    Amateur astronomers are encouraged to make a note of the appearance of the eclipse and rank it on the Danjon scale. The scale looks something like this:
    L = 0 Very dark eclipse. Moon almost invisible, especially at mid-totality.

    L = 1 Dark Eclipse, gray or brownish in coloration. Details distinguishable only with difficulty.

    L = 2 Deep red or rust-colored eclipse. Very dark central shadow, while outer edge of umbra is relatively bright.

    L = 3 Brick-red eclipse. Umbral shadow usually has a bright or yellow rim.

    L = 4 Very bright copper-red or orange eclipse. Umbral shadow has a bluish, very bright rim.

    The data is collected by Sky & Telescope and eventually NASA. For lack of another address, (astronomy AT valivingmuseum.org) is collecting data. Along with your rating on the Danjon scale, please include the following:
    -Time of Viewing & time zone
    -Sky Conditions: (e.g. clear, thin clouds, partly cloudy, etc.)
    -General Location

  16. Re:Methodology on Millions Delete ALL Music Files? · · Score: 1

    If they are part of a ongoing survey, then perhaps they were asked before if they had music, and then asked now if they still had it. What's the point of denying it now, if you've already "confessed" in a previous survey?

  17. Doesn't Office have this built in? on Software Installation/Update via Internet Patented · · Score: 1

    Given that this article is just slightly misguided, and this patent does indeed cover remote settings storage, I believe that Microsoft may have a little prior art. IIRC, Office since 2000 or XP had an option on the menu that would allow settings to be stored to MS's servers for 30-90 days or so to allow you to move between computers, or reformat and reinstall.

    Yep, that'd be it.

  19. Re:Just downloaded it. pretty sweet on Apple Releases iTunes for Windows · · Score: 2, Informative

    Does it do some kind of initial indexing or something like that? It had been running high for 15-20 minutes and just as I hit submit on that post, it dropped to ~5% and held there.

  20. Re:Just downloaded it. pretty sweet on Apple Releases iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    I'm seeing about the same RAM usage, but what's irritating me is that it is using 83-90% of the processor. On my 1.8Ghz MP3 playback usually takes 12% MAX.

  22. Re:network operators are pissed at this on Resolving Everything: VeriSign Adds Wildcards · · Score: 1

    Or you can pretty much do it yourself. If you run your own firewall/router, just redirect connections to 64.94.110.11 to your own webserver. OpenBSD works flawlessly doing this with the rule: "rdr on $int_if proto tcp from any to 64.94.110.11 -> 127.0.0.1", assuming that you have a webserver on the router.
