  1. Re:Not the first time... on CentOS Project Administrator Goes AWOL · · Score: 1

    Not quite. CentOS aims to be 100% binary compatible with RHEL of the same version, Ubuntu doesn't go out of their way to be binary compatible with Debian (When they are it's a coincidence, not by design).

  2. Re:Data please? on CentOS Project Administrator Goes AWOL · · Score: 1

    You do understand that you can't 'fork' CentOS? It is just a rebranded build of the equivalent version of the RHEL sources. It's very useful for Linux shops who need compatibility with customers who use RHEL but don't want to fork out for the 'real' thing.

    His point was the fact that a sticker that matches the router is stuck to the box and/or the device, so adding a unique default password to that sticker couldn't be that much more difficult.

    However, from my experiences, it's about as good as eDonkey in efficiency. That's the problem with less centralized networks. Since it's so easy to just seed yourself, people start seeding 20 copies of seemingly the same thing, where half of them were maybe misnamed torrents, and the rest 10 are forming groups of 5 instead of one group of 50, causing the speed to be about 10% of that on a centralized and more controlled tracker.

    That is why eDonkey and BitTorrent have always been based on a hashset, not the filename.

    You'll notice that in an eMule search all files of the same hashset are grouped together regardless of filename, and looking at the OTHER filenames a certain hashset has is a good way to tell if the file is real or not.

  14. Re:Why are they called 'Creative?' on Creative Has MP3 Player Interface Patent · · Score: 1

    I am sooo glad I bought an iPod and not one of those zen things. I am sooo not going to buy any Creative product ever again.

    As someone who has owned both a Zen (Sold because I hated it) and now an iPod, I can entirely agree with you. The Creative Zen just has nothing on the iPod. Nothing at all.

  15. Re:Cool on Bluetooth Ads Beamed from Billboards · · Score: 1

    So, if accessing an available Wifi access point is illegal, per the recent cases in Florida and the UK, wouldn't accessing my phone also be illegal access of a computer (since a mobile phone is technically a computer these days), and wouldn't someone be able to sue these BlueSpammers for unauthorized access?

    No, because as the article states, you need to accept before this stuff is actually transmitted to you.

    I think you mean goes down 24 Mbps, unless the A no longer stands for asynchronous. The A has always stood for "Asymmetric", but you are right, the max Australian ADSL2+ can do at the moment is 1mbps down, with up to 3mbps down possible once Annex M is approved.
