  1. Done the 8 Puzzle on Programming Puzzles · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I have done the 8 Puzzle in C++. I doubt the 15 puzzle is more difficult. Sure some things might change, but the idea should remain the same :)

  2. Re:1 comment? on NetBSD 2.0 RC5 Tagged · · Score: 0
    While Linux is probably almost triple the size, it supports more architectures than NetBSD
    Ahem... Are you sure?
  3. The cost on U.S. Military To Create Its Own Internet · · Score: 0
    Providing the connections to run the war net will cost at least $24 billion over the next five years - more than the cost, in today's dollars, of the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb. Beyond that, encrypting data will be a $5 billion project. Hundreds of thousands of new radios are likely to cost $25 billion. Satellite systems for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and communications will be tens of billions more. The Army's program for a war net alone has a $120 billion price tag. Over all, Pentagon documents suggest, $200 billion or more may go for the war net's hardware and software in the next decade or so.
    And guess who's gonna pay for that... in taxes...

    Or just use gmailfs or the gmail drive shell extension (or whatever its name is).

  5. Re:Pre-installed on What's Next For Mozilla? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    As long as IE was installed as well, the customers (accustomed to IE) would probably use IE again and not even notice Firefox, or try it once and then abandon it. Would be great though, if it really worked.

  6. Re:... AntiVirus on Trustix Secure Linux 2.2 Released · · Score: 0

    Well with a little bit more searching, I realised I missed the part saying that this Linux was designed for the server market.. Nevermind...

  7. ... AntiVirus on Trustix Secure Linux 2.2 Released · · Score: 0
    Bringing together enhancements in speed and security Trustix Secure Linux 2.2 now offers support for Serial ATA disk drives and the leading open source AntiSpam and AntiVirus solutions - Spamassassin and ClamAV.
    Why would we need the AntiVirus for? I've heard about *NIX servers having an antivirus app to prevent their windows clients from getting infected from programs stored in the server, but... why in a linux desktop?

    Where did "doesn't" come from? :S

    While the [] operator doesn't isn't boundary checked, the at() function is.

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with the installer, as far as I know. Works fine for me.

  11. Re:Privledged on Thunderbird 0.9 Released · · Score: 0

    Hell yeah! All I'm waiting for is Exchange support so I can persuade the netadmin to switch all Outlook clients to Thunderbird.

  12. Re:Coaster and a Frisbie on FreeBSD 5.3 RC2 Released · · Score: 0

    Once you got a FreeBSD system set up, you could/should use cvsup to update. Way faster than downloading the ISOs and burning them and reinstalling.

  13. Re:New Logo on NetBSD Chooses New Logo · · Score: 0

    Well the older logo was considered bad because it was hard to recreate. And my guess is that they just wanted a simple logo. Unless they could symbolize the "team" aspect with something simple, they wouldn't use it for the new logo.

  14. Ugh on NetBSD Chooses New Logo · · Score: 0

    The last one was too complex, but I don't totally like this one either. Maybe having Beastie somewhere would have been nice.

  15. At least he's honest on OpenBSD 3.6 Live · · Score: 2, Interesting
    FB: How does this compare with FreeBSD 4, FreeBSD 5, and DragonFlyBSD? Niklas Hallqvist: Actually I don't know. I'd expect we'd do worse in anything that is interrupt-intensive. We probably do worse even for the common case where several runnable processes exist simultaneously as well. But ... we do not aim to compete at the edge here. We want to make scalability happen without disrupting our security and robustness track record. We just have other priorities.
    Well at least he's being honest, unlike *cough* other people/companies. Go OpenBSD security!
  16. Advantage? on TCCBOOT Compiles And Boots Linux In 15 Seconds · · Score: 0

    Is there an advantage in booting directly from the kernel source?

  17. So we have the source code? on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 0

    We obviously have the search engine's source code. A search engine that fits in 400KB (the setup file). So Google just gave away part of their source? (The clustering part has obviously been removed) Otherwise, google just sends index data to the google servers, and our data is searched there. Which sounds more logical. Plus, I hope port 4664 (or w/e the port number was) is filtered, and not anyone can just access it. I hope Google didn't just rely on the possible firewalls.

  18. Re:Two posts and the site is already /.ed on A Review of Ubuntu Warty Release · · Score: 0
    Indeed; it gets annoying after a while. BTW: I wonder how many other linux distros will come out.
    I lurked about on Freenode's #ubuntu channel and got a feel for the community.
    Yeah this is a pro. Several *NIX channels are often hostile.
  19. Re:PHP isn't bad on PHP 5 OO In 24 Slides · · Score: 0
    but I used PHP CLI many times to solve quick problems
    Yeah me too.
    Can you give me an example where PHP isn't suitable for general scripting?
    I didn't mean it's not suitable. I meant that I generally would use other simpler scripting tools (e.g. sh or csh scripting) more often. But yeah, some times the PHP CLI is really useful too.

    Ugh I just noticed I got fp :) Anyway, I wouldn't really need OOP in scripting.

  21. PHP isn't bad on PHP 5 OO In 24 Slides · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    PHP isn't bad, but there are better alternatives when it comes to general scripting. When it comes to scripting for websites it's a great tool :)
