  1. Re:Lynx is safe on There Is No Safe Web Browser · · Score: 1

    Don't tell girls that you have such imaginative power! They'll fear you imagining them nude, even when you *are* looking at their face!

  2. Re:Whatever you do.. on Apple Powerbook and iBook Battery Recall · · Score: 1

    Few things exist to which i'd do that anyways, most are human and not exactly "friends o'mine". ;-)

  3. Re:Why 7? on PlayStation 3 Unveiled · · Score: 1

    I want 13 controllers. And playing via controller 13 should always make you lose! Can't they ever think of superstitious people when designing things?

  4. Re:Share slipping... on IE7 Will Have Tabbed Browsing · · Score: 1

    Don't put it that simple. There must be some evil reasoning behind it. There always is! We just haven't found the conspiracy yet.

  5. Re:XNU vs Linux. on Get To Know Mach, the Kernel of Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Interesting

    More accurately, L4 is pretty much totally different. L4 is probably the smallest microkernel you can make, while mach is the biggest. Which is better is highly subjective.

    Or SCO sponsored hooligans will join and the fight won't end easy. In that case, can i rent a chair at a spot with a good view? ;)

  7. Re:The usual VAX stuff... on What's in a Typical Geek Home Network? · · Score: 1

    Go for the 4000's Alpha's, those you can actually still put to good use. And who wants systems with less then 36 64bit PCI slots anyways?

  8. Re:A REAL Geek's Network on What's in a Typical Geek Home Network? · · Score: 1

    I think you're still missing out on exotic CPU's and systems. Add like system older then you, or a highend unix server. Any real geek should own a personal piece of computer history like an highend Alpha or an old Vax.

    Just to quote bash again, "Wanna go camping?".

  10. Re:Post BitTorrent in summary for RELEASE! on FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 Released; 5.3-RELEASE Soon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    PS: why does it take so long for the FreeBSD people so long to update their schedule?

    What's part do you consider 'taking long'? It is afaik updated at every new item they complete, which was about once per week for the last 1.5 months. There s nothing that takes long imo.

  11. Re:NetBSD portability vs Linux on NetBSD 2.0RC2 Released · · Score: 1

    You're right there, yes. I only counted which were on each team's hardware page. They seem to disagree about what is a CPU-architecture.

  12. Re:NetBSD portability vs Linux on NetBSD 2.0RC2 Released · · Score: 1

    Actually, NetBSD run on 17 CPU architectures, and linux on 16 :P

  13. Re:So on Irrlicht - Fast Realtime 3D Engine · · Score: 2

    SDL is quite a different library then irrlicht. SDL let's you setup a window, etc. But you still have to do drawing yourself. With irrlicht you load a level, and let irrlicht draw it. So, it makes sense to uyse both: irrlicht could use SDL to setup a full-screen window. SDL is also *very* portable, so then irrlicht could esily be ported to osX, BSD, amiga, playstation, etc.

  14. Re:I'm not one of the purists on Nvidia Releases Updated Drivers for FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    You can't open up all the specs, they are (at least) partially covered by IP of other companies. NVIDIA pays those companies to use their IP, and therefore can't open up the specs.

    I wasn't speaking about google specifically. So who's the retard not being able to think farther than the length of his nose ?

  18. Re:Funny, NOT Informative. on Google Removes Links in Response to DMCA Complaint · · Score: 1

    There still remains a difference between DMCA and it's (future) european counterpart. In the US only the big companies with much money van influence politicians. In europe people actually *can* make their voice's heard!

    Glad i live in Europe, such nonsense seems to be going a little slower here.

  20. Why not cut off infected computers ? on Handling User Grown Machines on a Large Network? · · Score: 2, Informative

    At our college, your machine is taken off the network (by disabling the port on the switch your machine is on) untill you install the patches and de-infect you machine. That means, you have no access to the internet, untill you call the helpdesk, and they will turn you back on so you can download the patch etc. Of course, you get locked out again if you don't. :) It works very well, cause when people get cut off the internet, they normally want to get back on it, so they will fix their PC very soon ...

    You do know of "/stand", do you ? The utils also on the boot-floppies. Those are still statically linked.

    NetBSD was the first (free unix-like OS) to have USB indeed.

  23. Re:well golly gee... on Surviving Slashdotting with a Small Server · · Score: 1

    indeed. until you would find out i run phpBB(doh! fully dynamic php bulletin board) and awstats (dynamically generated logfile stats from a perl script, takes A LOT of cpu !!) :P My p2 certainly doesn't pull that off. It hardly does that with 15 or 20 concurrent adsl users :)

  24. Re:Wouldn't you need an expensive switch? on Surviving Slashdotting with a Small Server · · Score: 1

    Still ... you'r box must be total crap, if it can't serve 2 MB/s of static content! My old p2/350 can serve 5 or 6 MB/s (ok, when i copy a single file, like a movie or iso, via ftp. but still.) Certainly as long as the content fits in the RAM, it is no deal at all. After that, your cheap ide disk might have a hard time. :P

  25. Re:well golly gee... on Surviving Slashdotting with a Small Server · · Score: 1

    indeed. 100mbit (as the university suplies to me, gna, gna) is quite usefull for that purpose :) An old p2/350 can easily sustain that full bandwith with static content like images and html.
