  1. Re:Warning! -- INSIDE INFO -- on Micro-Helicopter Fun · · Score: 1

    This guy used to be my boss, i saw him fly the thing around the office but not drop sugar cubes. Though i do indeed remember him saying that flying such a microcopter wasn't the easiest thing to do the whole point of his creation was that this one was easier to fly. Greets, J.

  2. How-to fry an egg on a router on More on Cisco Building Surveillance into Routers · · Score: 1

    Hehe, Last time i looked (last year or so) Cisco was having serious issues with not being able to support traffic-policing on high-speed connections. A DDOS could literally fry the CPU if the NOC had configured anti-DDOS features, at least in some circumstances.

  3. Ehr on HP Drops Gnome 2 Efforts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This post says Gnome 1.4 is still available and will continue to be so ... GNOME 2.0 is not YET available. Personally i wasn't under the impression gnome 2.0 has THAT many plusses over any other desktop such as KDE, thank the Gnome developpers HP didn't revert. Maybe GNOME2.5 might win their hearts if it's a worthy and COMPLETE environment.

  4. Re:Was this a good marketing move for HP? on HP Drops Gnome 2 Efforts · · Score: 1

    You probably hit the spot on this one, once the adrenaline get's going these guys brake for no one. Within their right. It is only after years of sitting by i became to understand the importance of shutting up in the right places. The person(s) involved should find some other outlet, maybe a closed developpers forum. Just think about this. Posting a website on slashdot is enough to launch an unintentional DDOS to the website concerned. To the PR people such a remark must at least feel like a slap in the face. Given this is the kind of 'world' they are frequenting and inhabiting. Although critique has the right time and the right place, having to learn when to shut up is the downside of flirting with commerce. (Remember Iraq, Q8 . . . ?)

  5. Re:Unix System Administration Handbook is the one on Essential System Administration, 3rd Edition · · Score: 1

    I must differ, if that's the kind of book one thinks highly off. It's like an overview without any, even shallow, detail or insight.

  6. The Palladium Path : Some Urgent questions on Cryptographers Find Fault With Palladium · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How come i don't have this now allready, more then two years ago virus-researchers claimed virusses would soon (within 3 yrs.) be able to evade scanning techniques.

    Would this mean fewer 'blue screens', fewer crashes, fewer halts, fewer bugfixes, fewer patches, fewer servicepacks, fewer windows updates ? Or ...

    God NO, this would mean MORE of them !

    Also, does this mean i'll have to do some extensive upgrading on my computer again ? It's quite hard to believe such an all-round solution would not ever put some extra load on my computer system.

    Now i come to think of it, will i need Palladium Certified Hardware ? Will older hardware apply as well ?

    Or do i just stick to good configuration and good software ? Or revert to encrypted letters by post ?
