  1. Re:Isn't Rock-n-Roll dead as well? on Microsoft Proclaims Death of Free Software Model · · Score: 1

    Oh, I don't know. In addition to the "coffin" quoted by others, the lead-in says:

    Microsoft has a soft spot for Linux, but it believes that recent developments in the open-source community have killed the free software model

    If something gets killed, it's dead, right? ;)

  2. Red Hat "X"..? on Mastering Red Hat Linux 9 · · Score: 1

    There's a book, Red Hat Linux X: The Complete Reference DVD Edition (no refid ;-), listed on amazon.com supposedly to be released December 3. Despite the cover, one of the authors' homepages (Haddad) just has "Red Hat Linux" and a November 2003 release, so I guess they're fixing or have fixed it.

  3. Re:Favorite Portable Workstation ?? on Linux Journal Readers' Choice Awards Announced · · Score: 1

    "AMD" probably means "Active Matrix Display".

  4. Traf-O-Data... on 30th Anniversary of the Microcomputer · · Score: 1

    ...was the high school company of Paul Allen and Bill Gates.

  5. Re:Who does the BIND patch? on Verisign Typosquatter Explorer · · Score: 1

    Well, if you use your own nameservers in your resolv.conf, I suppose modifying them would do the trick. I haven't tried this out yet, though.

  6. BIND patch on Verisign Typosquatter Explorer · · Score: 2, Informative

    Check it out...

    BIND delegation-only patch:

    In response to high demand from our users, ISC is releasing a patch for BIND to support the declaration of "delegation-only" zones ... This can be used to filter out "wildcard" or "synthesized" data from NAT boxes or from authoritative name servers whose undelegated (in-zone) data is of no interest.
  7. squid on Resolving Everything: VeriSign Adds Wildcards · · Score: 1

    It's a bit interesting to note that using a proxy (e.g. squid) does return an "Unknown host" error for non-existing domains. I guess squid performs a real A lookup first.

  8. Re:Real features on Nokia Shows Off Phone with Printable Faceplate · · Score: 1

    I suppose Comobi for the P800 is getting close to what you have in mind.

  9. Actually funny! - Re:DON'T CLICK!! GOATSE.CX LINK on Close Encounters Of The Mars Kind · · Score: 1

    I might have my funny bone out of whack today, but I laughed, ummm, my ass out at the ... ah ... comparative astronomy ;) (No, it's not a redirect.)

  10. Re:Never down? on .org Registry Offline - Not · · Score: 1

    Just use whois.pir.org instead of whois.publicinterestregistry.org, as per cloudscout's note. Thanks, didn't know about that.

  11. Never down? on .org Registry Offline - Not · · Score: 4, Informative

    I don't think the .org registry ever went down. The only Informative message here (IMHO) was from jrwilk01: "Responsible servers changed, all is well. Nothing to see here. Move along." It was marked Redundant and scored 0, just because the moderators only saw the whois record!

    Those of you with obsolete whois clients can do something like this:

    $ whois slashdot.org@whois.publicinterestregistry.org
    ...
    Billing Street1:Whois Server:whois.opensrs.net
    ...
    $ whois slashdot.org@whois.opensrs.net

    Or just go to whois.bw.org.

  12. Re:Same filename as SR#1 on Latest Animatrix Short Released · · Score: 1

    Will test it out later, still have 41 mins to go for the download (only 256kbps DSL).

    I have MPlayer 0.90 release. BTW, in SR#1, did the robot seem to screech as it was being squashed by the tank? If so, the sound's off. That should only happen in the gang-BANG! scene ;) ... I thought SR#1's sound was ok in MPlayer until I tried it in QT6.

  13. Re:Same filename as SR#1 on Latest Animatrix Short Released · · Score: 1

    I use an old version of Codeweavers Wine (codeweavers-wine-20020904-7, while it was still available) on RH9. To get it running, I added " export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1" to the wine shell script.

    For the QT installation, I had to run in Desktop mode ("Desktop" = "Y" "Managed"="N" in config), otherwise the blue setup screen takes up the whole real desktop and seems to hang. I clicked through the QuickTime installation until it gave an unhandled exception during the "updating registry" step. I almost gave up, but gave it a try. What do you know, it worked... You can use managed/non-desktop mode after it's installed.

    Good luck...

  14. Same filename as SR#1 on Latest Animatrix Short Released · · Score: 1

    Please note that this is the same filename as the mov for Second Renaissance - Part 1, so be careful when copying or moving to your Animatrix archive. I'm wget'ing the zipped version.

    I use QuickPlayer 6.1 on Wine to watch the Animatrix movies... MPlayer and Xine play the sound ahead by a few seconds. I tried fiddling with the audio delay, but no go. What do you guys use (on Linux)?
