  1. Re:They appear pretty confident... on IBM Supporting Linux On Power Processors · · Score: 1

    All IBM has to do is just sit there whilst SCO burns through its cash reservers. In a court case I know who is going to last longer

    lying flat on my back for 12 hours straight sorting out some underfloor cabling with a laptop next to me which I had to type using one hand, by torchlight in a 2.5ft gap. Fun

    Replying to my own post its for the external PSU

  8. Power connector on Shrinking the PC is a Zen Thing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Looking at those pictures of the back the connector seems to be similar to an ATX mb socket. Is that an American thing, rather than the UK kettle lead or is it something propiatory?

    Rus

  9. Brute force on Crack the Code and Win a Million Bucks · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Surely anything can be cracked if enough brute force is chucked at it. Admitally it might take years bt it should break in time or have I missed something fundemental.

    The article says that its based on a mathmatical forumla surely it can be broken

  10. Re:Are you really surprised? on Star Trek: Enterprise in Danger of Being Cancelled · · Score: 1

    The last real bit of innovation in Star Trek for me was the introduction of the Borg in TNG. At the time they were almost the best aliens concieved. Virtually indistractable with a new twist on evolving. By Voyager they just seemed like little puppies

  11. Jake 2.0 on Star Trek: Enterprise in Danger of Being Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Well they are just about to premier Jake 2.0 here in the UK on Sky. Prehaps I won't watch it as don't need to get hooked onto something if there isn't any way of it lasting the distance. Of course I don't know if it is any good..

  12. Closure on Star Trek: Enterprise in Danger of Being Cancelled · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well if they are going to cancel it please make sure we get some closure as there is nothing worse than just leave something hanging. At least let Enterprise go out on a high if not up to the standard of DS9/TNG.

  13. Filtering on 'Bagle' Worm Heading For A Windows PC Near You · · Score: 1

    People always wonder why I filter large attachments off at the server level as to avoid clogging up my machine and connection. So far I've never seen the virus payload hit my Inbox, being on Linux means it won't hurt but still annoying Of course with Wine it might be a differenet story Rus

  15. Free? on Google Eyes New Email Service, Expansion · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You have to wonder who google is going to get people into this. Will it be the traditional yahoo/hotmail approach where you get 5MB free and then upgrade, or prehaps they will just go fora decent free emails service ala normal ISP. Intresting to see how they make money

  16. Re:Fuzzy Fingerprinting? on Can P2P Filter Copyrighted Content? · · Score: 1

    The only way to tell if something is a copy is watching/copying it. Prehaps prisoners could be given then job to listen to copies of brittany spears and Cheeky Girls songs

  19. E-mail archieving on Linus on SCO, and the Desktop Being 10 Years Away · · Score: 1

    Well like he says he is the sort of man that doesn't bother with backups and lets the world replicate his software, so why don't sco just look at the linux-kernel mailing list? Rus

  21. Performace on Sun's new UltraSPARC workstation: the Blade 1500 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Comparing Sun with x86 is a bit apples and oranges. Maybe on sheer performance it will be beaten by x86 however for crunching big data sets the UltraSparc is just more effecient. Also some software only runs on Solaris so for that this box is good. However I did wonder why it came with Solaris 8 rather than something newer Rus

  22. First MP3 on What Was the Very First MP3 You Downloaded? · · Score: 1

    I think the first one I created was Catatonia - Road Rage on a P90 which was about 3-4 real time. First downloaded was Mark Morrision - Return of the Mac. I also did my first network with a serial cable between a P90 and P450 and it wasn't fast enough to keep up with the playing :)
