  1. Softether on Ask Slashdot: VPN Solution To Connect Mixed-Environment Households? · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised no one mentioned Softether https://www.softether.org/ - with multi-protocol support and site-to-site capability, it should be able to cover all your needs. Setup a server in the cloud - DigitalOcean is a cheap and excellent host - with Softether. Setup another softether client in your household on an old machine and set the two to do a site-to-site. From the digital ocean installation, ensure that the gateway is whatever you like to be (another VPN to work, perhaps?) and you're all set.

  2. Thanks, Rob on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Rob/Taco, Thanks for Slashdot. I've been a reader since 1998 - I was at college at the time too. I've been reading /. almost daily since then. I lost my original UID but hey, even the "new one" is not that bad :)

    Your fix should be modded funny.. wrongly! LOL!

  4. Re:A lot of work, but simple, conceptually... on A Windows-Based Packaging Mechanism · · Score: 1

    This crash that you're having is due to bad references in your registry for the shell extension that handles the ISO files. Get something like CCleaner http://ccleaner.com/ and let it fix your registry. If that doesn't work, search for the ISO file extension handles in your registry and remove it. I used to reinstall Windows very frequently, but stopped doing so and got myself a Macbook Pro instead - but this is what I used to do to give it some extra life.

  5. Re:Why wouldn't they? on Old Islamic Tile Patterns Show Modern Math Insight · · Score: 2, Informative

    Seriously.. Do you know what the source of the word "Algorithm" is?
    Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm#Etymology
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_ibn_M%C5%ABs %C4%81_al-Khw%C4%81rizm%C4%AB
    And then, after you read where the source is, maybe it would be time to know where Algebra came from:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra
    Some architecture info can be found here: http://www.islamicarchitecture.org/architecture/in dex.html

    Pretty shape!!!

    Only on /. could you find stuff like "down load" then shortly followed by "its self". Somebody there doesn't like to put words together, probably...

  9. Re:IE 7 vs. Firefox 1.5 on Firefox 1.5 RC1 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    You can get the tab preview feature in Firefox through the following extension: (compatible with FFox 1.5RC1)
    http://ted.mielczarek.org/code/mozilla/tabpreview/ index.html

    As for phishing, check out these extensions:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/quicksearch.php?q=phish &section=A

    IE has not innovated in a very long time while other have been trying hard to innovate to just get through the market leader-ship barrier that IE has put. It's going to be very challenging for the IE team to introduce any feature that would be outside the "catch-up" with other browser features. I'm glad to see that IE is going to introduce nifty features from all over the place, nonetheless.

  10. Re:Hardware OS on Will MacIntel Hardware Open The Door for Mac OS X CAD? · · Score: 1

    At least, it will give MacOS X users a chance to use wine to run Windows applications. Applications linked against winelib don't have a problem - if they were built for PPC arch- but you can't use the wine binary itself to start Windows applications on non-Intel arch.

  16. Webmin and the File Manager module on Open Source Web-Based File Management? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Webmin and the FireManager module are the best in my opinion. The Java applet makes working with it a snap. Here is a link: http://www.webmin.com/standard.html

    Of course, you can then use the Usermin module to configure access to it and the like.

    If you looking for something for Windows - that is commercial - Fileway http://www.fileway.com/ is the best!

  17. ust work! on Zen Linux 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't things better "just work" instead of "ust working"? I thought things stopped "ust working" long ago!

  18. Re:Never attempt to turn off the ignition. on A Car With A Mind Of Its Own · · Score: 1

    I agree to what you say here except that losing power steeing at high speed is not going to be a real problem. Steering without "power" is not as tough at high speed.

    One thing I learnt from my dad is - when losing breaks, not car trying to accelerate on its own - is:
    - Your life and other peoples' lives are more important than any mechanical machine. Alywas act on this
    - Get to neutral. This will help
    - Try the hand breaks smoothly
    - Then start lowering gears one by one. In automatic cars, I guess trying 2 or L. It may break your transmition, but refer to point #1

    That should help. but the point of the article is- we're getting too fancy that most of this won't apply when I tell it to my son!

  19. Re:Email on FTP Client For Firefox · · Score: 1

    That was a joke :) The guy meant that Firefox was a stripped down Mozilla (to get rid of the bloat and to make Firefox the browser and only the browser.) Now with the addition of an FTP client, we're back to bloating it. Yet, I think with using XUL for the FTP client instead of having big chunks of code that make Mozilla and using just Gecko, an FTP client is welcome.

    Is that it kills the story. If there is a point that the story is trying to imply, it just kills it. Sometimes, the author is trying to leave something to the reader, but when you get it from another person, it just no longer is there.
