  1. Re:A cold day in Hell.. on WoW Players Targeted By Windows Flaw Exploit · · Score: 1

    Nothing, or this problem would have been solved long ago. WoW isn't the first game to have to deal with this.

  2. Re:Royalty on EU Rejects Microsoft Royalty Proposal · · Score: 1

    But they are royalty free open standards because the creator(s) wanted them to be. MS on the other hand has chosen not to release these specs for free, and I don't believe that they should be forced to.

  3. Re:My experience on HardOCP Spends 30 Days With Vista · · Score: 4, Informative

    Windows will use what it can until something else needs it. Unused Ram is wasted ram.

  4. Re:Leopard on A Look at the Compiz and Beryl Merger · · Score: 1

    Just like how everyone stopped making stuff for XP once Vista was released. Also, all developer snapshots for Leopard use the same Finder from Tiger, you might be reading a little much into Jobs saying there are awesome unseen features in Leopard.

  5. I don't know anything about the game on NiGHTS Into Dreams Remake Now Official · · Score: 2, Interesting

    But that's a cool title.

    You suck.

  7. Re:Awww man... on Blizzard Adds Tinfoil Hat to Solve Armory Complaints · · Score: 2, Informative

    I wasn't (though no one is going to believe that), but personally I think such an item would be funny as hell. They added the Sword of a Thousand Truths after the South Park episode, so maybe all the conspiracy theorist Dark Elves have some hope.

  9. Re:Easily ported to Windows, huh? on Is KDE 4.0 the Holy Grail of Desktops? · · Score: 1

    First, KDE3 relied on QT3 which for a long time did not have a GPL licensed version for Windows. Second, porting KDE4 has begun, http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=KDE4+Windo ws+Port

  10. Re:Why? on Is KDE 4.0 the Holy Grail of Desktops? · · Score: 5, Informative

    You can pass a switch to disable explorer as a shell. That is why things like LiteStep are called Shell Replacements.

  11. Re:Virtualize this on Virtualizing Cuts Web App Performance 43% · · Score: 1

    The DET (Department of Education and Training in ACT, Australia) struck some deal up with MS to let them run a number of 2003 licences on one box for the cost of one (I have no link, I was working in a school at the time and was actually talking to people who were managing this, not just reading it off the web). Their plan was to virtualize in just this way
    Everyone 'struck' this deal. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2005/o ct05/10-10virtualizationlicensing.mspx
  12. Re:Uh, Car analogy? on HP Dishonors Warranty If You Load Linux · · Score: 1

    I mean if I buy a car and replace the breaks and several months later the air conditioning goes out, they can't void the warranty for what I did to the breaks.
    Actually, yes they could. If the work on the breaks was not done by someone qualified (for instance done by your friend and not a mechanic) and the work was not documented, they could refuse any warranty claim on the vehicle. Not saying that they would, but they could.
  13. Re:The magic end-to-end bullet on Inside Apple's Leopard Server OS · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If Apple can provide a cheaper end-to-end solution from the server to the desktop with LDAP directories, email, calendering, intranet etc - all preloaded on their server hardware and ready to go
    First, no, it would take a lot more then just that to have people choose an Apple based network over SBS or other Windows setup.

    Second, Leopard pretty much is the last piece they need to provide that. it adds iCal server which is really all they were missing. With iCal server, Open Directory, Cyrus IMAP, Postfix and MySQL OS X Server could essentially do everything an SBS Premium install can do with out the 75 user limitation. However, you will need someone with some knowledge and experience to set it up. OS X doesn't have a million little wizards to get everything going with 4 mouse clicks. Initial set up should be done by someone who has an idea what they are doing.
  14. Documentation on Best OSS Systems Mgmt App You Never Heard Of · · Score: 1

    There is no documentation listed on the Source forge site. Does it monitor Windows machines without having to install extra software on the Windows Servers and Desktops? Does it monitor routers and switches? Is there any documentation?

  15. Re:Lead? on Paint Provides Network Protection · · Score: 0, Troll

    There is nothing wrong with lead paint, unless you're dumb enough to eat it. If you are, perhaps you should die.

  16. Re:Do you use it on a Macintosh? on Open Office - What's the Downside? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Other then a long launch time, I have no problems on NeoOffice. Instead of useless 'it sucks' why not say what you have a problem with.

    Then you're shot by your own people and everything you fought for goes to hell.

  18. Well that sucks on Ian Murdock Joins Sun · · Score: 5, Funny

    I was hoping for a Solaris 11 release in my lifetime.

  19. Re:Stupidity! on Do You Allow Webmail Use on Your Network? · · Score: 1

    He's talking about organizations. The end users do not own the desktop or the data it has access to and often treat it that way. On top of that they know it's someone else's problem so they don't care what happens.

    I mean it, I'm scared.

    CentOS 5 beta is out. If past performance is any indicator, final should be done in about 2 weeks. Unless something goes wrong of course.

  25. Re:$349.99? on First Look at RHEL 5 - From the New, More Open Red Hat · · Score: 5, Informative

    Red Hat kindly makes SRPM's available, so yes you could download RHEL for free. You would have to build the system yourself.

    Thankfully, others have already done that and made the results available, for instance CentOS
