  1. Re:Size doesn't matter on Ancient 'Godzilla' Crocodile Discovered · · Score: 1

    No, they're not. It's what they carry.

  2. Re:Whacked names on Hoary Hedgehog Ubuntu 5.04 Released · · Score: 1

    You mean "springbok."

  3. Re:all your base are belong to us on MyDoom Seeks to Destroy Antivirus Firms · · Score: 0

    kind of reminds me of the tone of everyone's favorite...
    "someone set us up the bomb"


    It's actually "someone set up us the bomb".

  5. Re:GUI editors can't fix XF86Config, want edit clo on JOE Hits 3.0 · · Score: 2, Informative

    You're referring to Midnight Commander.

  6. Re:Recent problems with Gaim on Gaim Forks To Get Voice And Video Support · · Score: 1

    Forget Jabber's tranports. Just use Gaim (or Kopete, etc), and add in your Jabber account. Then you can also add your MSN/ICQ/Yahoo account - and it's very stable!

  7. Re:Sky high rates? on WirelessCabin: Use Your Mobile Phone on Airplanes · · Score: 1

    Equally, I've accidently travelled on a post 9/11 cross-european flight with a pocketknife keyring. I realised when I was in the air that it was in my carry on "man bag": this was after I waited one hour at Stansted to make my way through supposedly tight security. I wanted to take an in-flight photograph to prove it, yet worried that attendant would see me and I'd be meeting the boys in blue at the other end.

    Airport security is a joke anyway. You can be stopped at the security check for things like pocket knives (and even tweezers). Then they allow people to buy things like bottles of wine just before boarding the plane. You could easily smash the bottle while in-flight, and you'd have a weapon far deadlier than any pocket-knife!

  8. Re:DVD edition download? (more current DVD editio on Knoppix 3.3 Update, 3.4 C't Edition Are Out · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the fact that it won't need to use a compressed loopback!

  9. Apache on Reverse/Server-Side Proxy Caching for Windows? · · Score: 1

    I use Apache's mod_proxy module for reverse proxying. It works very well, and if you have several upstream servers, you can use the very powerful mod_rewrite to map parts of the URL to different servers.

  10. Re:Need better crypto on The Death Throes of crypt() · · Score: 1

    It's better to refer to md5 hashes as 128-bit numbers. The 32 character "string" you are refering to is the hex representation.

  12. Re:So what about a teergrube? on Yahoo! Develops Anti-Spam Architecture · · Score: 1

    Sorry, when I say "on your machine", I mean on the SMTP server. (I run a mail server, so I think of it as "my machine"!)

  13. Re:So what about a teergrube? on Yahoo! Develops Anti-Spam Architecture · · Score: 1

    Teebgrubing is a bad idea IMHO. Certainly not a solution to spam. You server will keep SMTP connections open after mail has been delivered; thereby slowing down the spammer's machine. But obviously it'll take a connection on your own machine too. You can easily get yourself in trouble if you receive a large number of mails in a short space of time!

    With Spamassassin, you can be configured to only do it on suspected spam, but still I think it's just asking for trouble.

  14. Re:My Experience With Open Source on Open-Source Development 'Faster, Better, Cheaper' · · Score: 1

    :-) Yeah, it is funny. But look at the first comments from these links:

    It's cut and paste.

  15. Re:seconded! on Retooling Slashdot with Web Standards · · Score: 0

    I wouldn't rush into using MNG. According to this site:

    MNG Support was removed as part of Mozilla at 2003-06-03 16:20 PST, which means that nightly builds from June 4 and later no longer contained it, neither will Mozilla 1.5alpha and later.

  16. Re:I don't understand... on Head Injury Induces Foreign Accent Syndrome · · Score: 0

    You're both wrong. They'd use the word "motorbike" as a compromise.

  17. Re:Ok heres my part... on Map the Internet... In One Day? · · Score: 0

    Is that a device for silencing police officers?

  18. Re:Looks cool? on Handy Wristwatch Phone · · Score: 1, Funny

    Yeah, then when you've finished your call, you should have to touch your pinky and thumb against a table, to hang up. Now *that* would look really silly! ;-)

    I thought Karamba was a clone of the Windows program Samurize.
