  1. I was in the chat too on ZFS, the Last Word in File Systems? · · Score: 1

    I was going to try to explain some of the material, but you've done a better job than I could have. Sun will be releasing complete technical details soon. Solaris 10 shipping date is year end. I wasn't clear as to whether the full implemention of ZSH will make the first cut.

  2. Re:Unix(tm) code? on Solaris 10 to be Open Source · · Score: 2, Informative

    There already is "other people's code". For Solaris 10 they've adopted net-snmp over their own proprietary SNMP (which never did work worth a damn).

  3. Re:and JFK's whack..... on Vote Tabulator Security Hole Exposed · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and a King Air isn't one of them. It uses mechanical flight controls. Wellstone's crash was pilot error plain and simple. They got lost in the fog. No tinfoil hat required.

  4. It managed to crash IE six times while printing on A Taste Of Computer Security · · Score: 1

    No, I can't install anything else, I don't manage this desktop. I do UNIX for a living. The printed output also looks horrible. Be that as it may, an excellent article. I could have spent all day meandering around his site. I did read most of the history of Apple and a bit about Mac operating systems, but duty calls.

  5. I've had good luck with Promise Drives on Bulk Data Storage For The Common Man? · · Score: 1

    They're a hardware RAID

  6. There's prior art on Microsoft Receives Patent For Double-Click · · Score: 1

    Macintoshes used double-clicks before Windows was a gleam in Bill's eye. I suspect Xerox used them as well

  7. me, Einstein and my son on Neural Feedback Training as Therapy for ADHD? · · Score: 1

    I have been diagnosed with ADD because of my tendencies to become distracted by every shiny object to the point where it affects my work. Ritalin was waaay too strong for me and I'm having good effect with dexedrine. The evidence for Einstein having ADD is over-rated. It IS apparent that he was an oddball at best and in his own little world at worst. Rather than being a poster-boy for ADD, this puts him within other areas of the autistic spectrum, perhaps PDD/NOS or Asperger's. There have been concerns that I may fall within the pervue of Asperger's, which I wish I'd known about 20 years ago. My son is presently attending a special school to figure out his problems with attentitiveness, discipline etc. but already the hallmarks of something autism-spectrum-related are there. ADD/ADHD rarely occurs all by itself. There are often other issues such as Sensory Integration (me and two of my kids have problems with processing audio). These cannot be typically diagnosed by a family physician and this can quickly run into serious money if not covered by health care (one of the many nice things about living in Canada) and hence can often go undiagnosed and untreated.
