  1. Re:Of course vhosts are irrelevant... on Ballmer: Apache is simply better · · Score: 1

    That's because MS was naughty and ripped chunks of the BSD TCP stack.

  2. Re:Casio E-100: Palm + Rio killer on PDA+MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    6 Hours of battery life vs my Palm III with over 18-24? I can't even remember the last time I had to change the batteries in my P3.

  3. Re:Actually... on Ask Slashdot: NT to Linux Migration Costs? · · Score: 1

    The frontend webservers are FreeBSD, and the mail servers run Solaris.

  4. Re:no e-mail.. how? on Burger King to offer Internet Access · · Score: 1

    If they are blocking port 110 then no packets destined for port 110 will pass the firewall/gateway, even if you use your tounge on Cat5 to generate the packet.

  5. Re:No e-mail? on Burger King to offer Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Fun Trick:
    Many times, you can use the URL telnet://some.host.foo and the browser will launch the telnet app for you. The second "evil" thing is to attempt to get a file that has an unknown mime-type. The browser will prompt you what to do, and you tell it to open with telnet.exe. These things can be disabled, must most places don't go that far.

  6. Re:My Solution: Don't use Netscape for mail! on Netscape 4.6 · · Score: 1

    ...(second only to the M$ range of "products", Exchange, Outf*ck etc.).


    I find that referring to it as OutHouse is a more effective, and an appropriate analogy.

  7. Re:Too bad USGOV/NOAA "standardizing" on NS on Netscape 4.6 · · Score: 1

    In FreeBSD, I just restart moused.

  8. You missed the point. on Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 Review · · Score: 1

    First:

    They also put the System Policy Editor, Windows Batch Setup, and other such goodies the Win95/98 cd. They don't except a user to use them. They expect an admin to use them.


  9. Sun vs NSI on NSI sells registrant info. Again. · · Score: 2

    NSI is "the .com company"

    BR?
    Sun is "the . in .com"

  10. Maybe... on PalmPilots like Sheep: Cloned · · Score: 1

    The palm is intended to be a supplement to your computer, not a whole new one.

  11. Did anyone else... on Quickielanche · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else notice the "Don't get us on slashdot, or we'll shave your balls or something"?
    Me thinks the point of Dilbert-Hole was to get on slashdot.

  12. Argh on InterNIC Redesign · · Score: 2

    I noticed today that the /cgi-bin/whois doesn't work anymore, and they also disabled the telnet whois service. Bad internic. *wham* *wham* *wham*. Bad Internic.

  13. Programmability/3rd party apps? on Palm VII Field Trial · · Score: 1

    My friend recivied a "Windows CE Development Kit" in the mail, but it (of course) only works with Visual C++. He used it as a cat toy.

  14. Ooooohhhhh.... on InterNIC Blowing Up (again) · · Score: 1

    You can go as high as OC192. And I belive the problem is not bandwidth, but overworked systems.

  15. Hidden Links! on Saturday Night Special Quickies · · Score: 1

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I am so glad that I am not the only one that does that.

  16. macs have 1MB of RAM and 10MB of harddrive? on MacMafia · · Score: 1

    Check out QNX. It's intended for embedded/small memory systems. They fit networking, kernel, a gui, and a browser on a bootable 1.44 disk. I think you can download the disk image.

  17. Exchange... on Road Rage on the Information Superhighway · · Score: 1

    Is the reason that my keyboard can no longer be put up on its little leg-things. After the d*mn thing failing to install 5 times, I misclicked, it started to grind and refused to respond. My ESC key took quite a beating, as I was getting very, very ticked off.

    Friends don't let friends use MSExchange

  18. Need OSS action figures on Here Come Da Quickies · · Score: 1

    Don't forget Beard-grow-long Jordan!

  19. Internet SUCKS HARD on Music Industry scores the closing of www.lyrics.ch · · Score: 1

    *cough* Internet 2 *cough*
