  1. Re:Neuros on Legislators Looking At Peer to Peer Monitor · · Score: 2, Informative

    I use MusicBrainz which actually works quite well. It's great for fixing those broken ID3 tags.

  2. Re:24fps vs. blocky video on Brazil Takes Lead in All-Digital Cinema Projection · · Score: 3, Informative

    TV is actually only 30fps interlaced. One pass updates every other horizontal line, and the next pass updates the remaining lines, so there is the illusion of 60fps.

  3. Re:FreeBSD ports collection on Building A Better Package Manager · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or, even easier: pkg_add -r rpm

  4. Re:It's like Netscape v. Microsoft in that... on Google v. Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Not to mention indexing the entire web. That's a complex implementation problem as well.

  5. Trying to start a slashdotting? on SCO Responds to OSDL Legal Aid Announcement · · Score: 1

    ...maybe someone else could go look...

    Sounds like someone's trying to take down their servers.

  6. Re:Not Funny! on Tech Firms Defend Moving Jobs Overseas · · Score: 1

    I think you're referring to the movie Trading Places.

  7. Re:Most of my friends have never heard of Mozilla on Mozilla 1.6 Beta Released · · Score: 2

    Yeah, the people I tell usually just ask what the point is since IE is already there. Also, they complain that it's slower than IE. For them, popup blocking, tabs, etc. just don't really matter. Personally, I am willing to trade a little speed for a whole lot of features.

  8. Re:Commercial for BSD! on Hiding Secrets With Steganography On FreeBSD · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Read the article. At the bottom, it says:

    The only question you may be asking yourself is "why use such a utility?" Probably the most common use is to safeguard passwords. We all know that we should use different passwords for various tasks. For example, you should use a different password to log into your computer, another to retrieve email, another for online banking, and yet another for when you create an account on a web server. It can be very handy to make a text file of each password and its usage, and to safeguard that file by hiding it in a place no one would suspect to look.

  9. Torrent of the Image? on Breaking the Gigapixel Barrier · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have a copy of the image? If so, a torrent would be nice.

  10. Re:Download? on The Elegant Universe, Now Available Online · · Score: 1
  11. Re:Link requires login on OpenBSD's Common Address Redundancy Protocol · · Score: 1

    It renders fine in Firebird 0.7.

  12. Re:Its coming on VoIP + 802.11 = Bad News For Phone Companies · · Score: 1

    No need to mod it; just stick a metal fork in it. That should cause quite a disruption.

  13. Re:CD-ROM encryption on GBDE-GEOM Based Disk Encryption on FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    1. This is much more important on a laptop where someone can just walk off with your whole computer.

    2. If you encrypt a whole drive, then all you have to do is throw your important/private files onto that drive. Once you have it going, it's a lot easier than individually encrypting your files.
