  1. Like I See It on Hidden-Feature DVD Players Again · · Score: 1
    Why is the US market trying to get region-free players?

    To me it is a matter of personal freedom. Even though I live in the US and may never purchase a non Region 1 DVD, I don't like the MPAA manipulating the market and creating an artifical demand.

  2. Re:Radio Network on Low-Powered Radio Stations-Could They Work? · · Score: 1

    Sounds a lot like HAM Radio's Packet. :-)

  3. Slightly OT on Free High-Availability Solutions For Solaris? · · Score: 1

    What about personal recommendations for free Linux/FreeBSD High Availability?

  4. EFNet is a news source? on Slashback: Insectivores, Persistence, Domaination · · Score: 2
    "According to a report on EFnet, the ICANN executive board is scheduled to make a ruling on the proposed new top-level domain names."

    I never thought I'd live to see *truthful* news coming from EFNet. :-)

  5. Re:Domain name thoughts on Slashback: Insectivores, Persistence, Domaination · · Score: 1

    Heck, why not decommercialize the .us TLD? :-)

  6. Copyright == Copyright != Fair Use on Ownership Of Font Styles? · · Score: 1
    If one decides to distribute the font, what type of legal issues would it face, even if it is distributed in non-profit manner?

    If one decides to distribute Microsoft Windows 2000, what type of legal issues would one face, even if it is distributed in non-profit manner?

    See the similarities?

  7. AOL is Sending DVD Cases :-) on Are Linux Reviews Fixed? · · Score: 1
    Yesterday I found an AOL CD in the mail... blah... blah... but it came in a DVD case!

    Has anyone else gotten these?

  8. Re:Thoughts on the DCMA on Who Does the DMCA Really Protect? · · Score: 1

    That's why they make patents. :-)

  9. Re:Here we go again... on Red Hat Gets Into The Clustering Biz · · Score: 1

    I think Sun has a Platinum support level that comes after Gold. :-)

  11. Re:Network Intrusion Detection : An Analysis Handb on Security - How Can you Learn Internet Self-Defense? · · Score: 1

    Here's the Amazon.com reviews too. :-)

  12. Network Intrusion Detection : An Analysis Handbook on Security - How Can you Learn Internet Self-Defense? · · Score: 3
    I highly recommend Network Intrusion Detection : An Analysis Handbook. It has been reviewed on slashdot too. I have a lot of respect for Stephen Northcutt and his book is extrememly easy to read with lots of case studies.

    I highly recommend this book. I enjoyed every minute of it and I feel that people can get a lot out of this book no matter what their security knowledge is.

  13. Similar to the President's? on Under-the-Desk Exercise Equipment? · · Score: 1

    Didn't the Federal Intern Agency put together something like this for the President?

  14. BSD Icon! on OpenBSD 2.7 Released · · Score: 1

    Big thanks to the /. crew for the BSD Icon!

  15. Re:Fight 'em on Microsoft Asks Slashdot To Remove Readers' Posts · · Score: 1
    lol!

  16. Re:Rational mature approach on Microsoft Asks Slashdot To Remove Readers' Posts · · Score: 1

    But if they didn't "see" us post it, wouldn't it be hearsay? :-)

  17. Re:If /. edits any, is it then responsible for all on Microsoft Asks Slashdot To Remove Readers' Posts · · Score: 1
    Man I think you've hit this on the nail. Is there was ever a time for a comment to be supermoderated to +6 (I've seen it) this post should get it.

    Nice thinking. :-)

  18. P.S. on Microsoft Asks Slashdot To Remove Readers' Posts · · Score: 1

    P.S.
    We ain't no Internet Service Provider

  19. Re:Clearly The Way Things Are Going on A For-Profit Trip To The Moon · · Score: 1

    But isn't NASA a government funded "A-OK on the monopoloy" commercialized venture?

  20. Maybe... on Will We Ever Get Rid Of ASCII? · · Score: 1

    when they stop handing out ASCII keyboards. ;-)

  21. Why not buy ebay? on Auction Sites-Build Or Buy The Technology? · · Score: 1
    Why not just buy ebay? They've already got a working product. :-)

    I all seriousness, buying one will always be the faster route. Even if you have to modify someone else's product, buying theirs will reduce the time it takes for your programmers to create yours.

  22. OT: Not Trying To Troll! on A Clean Linux Install? · · Score: 2
    I'm not trying to troll and please don't take it as such...

    This is the exact reason I started to use FreeBSD. I was tired of all of the extra junk and a coworker mentioned that with FreeBSD, I'd have complete control over everything installed and the dependencies and everything would be handled automatically. It's pure magic.

    I know this is off the Linux topic, but I really wish the Linux distro people would take notice.

  23. Re:Perfect timing on Big Ball Of Mud Development Model · · Score: 1
    The argument was that any decent system would keep everything working all the time.

    Yes, and that's why I run FreeBSD-STABLE. It always works even after an upgrade to the latest sources.

  24. Re:The Athlon was right for me. on Pentium 3 Vs. Athlon - Which Is Right For You? · · Score: 1
    Your Athlon is not fully compatible, and my Pentium III will last longer. You are only looking at the short term.

    Fully compatible to what? Why don't we talk about Intel changing standards and then you can tell me all about any incompatabilities. What about all of the bugs in the P3 chips? Have there been any of these bugs in the Athlon?

    Do you honestly think Intel uses a better fabrication process to ensure longer life in their chips? Intel makes chips as cheaply as possible. AMD puts as much quality as possible into their Athlons in order to gain market share.

    Get a clue.

    You, my friend, need more RAM!
