  2. Re:Predicted Comment Breakdown... on IBM Takes #1 w/ASCI White · · Score: 1

    > 1% - Insightful commentary, such as a discussion of whether big, centralized systems are still relevant today

    And how they are. With the recent hype of ASP and decentralized computing these Mainframe-style beasts are becoming more and more interesting.

  3. Re:ReiserFS is just fine by me on Merits Of The Different Journaling Filesystems? · · Score: 1

    I'm using it on 2 Production Webservers with hardware-mirrored 9GB-disks where 5GB are used with 1.500.000 files on the filesystems. I don't even wnt to try the time e2fsck would need after a crash.
    Both systems have an uptime of 180 days now (reboot was done because of systems moving).

    I like ReiserFS.

    > Linus doesn't steal, so why do you think it's Ok for you to?

    Ahem. DO you do everything Linux does? Gimme a break. This has _nothing_ to do with Linux or Alan or Stephen or whoever. It's just a question of morlity.

  6. Re:waitaminit on No Star Wars TPM on DVD · · Score: 1

    THX ain't a standard like stereo or Dolby Digital. THX is a specially approved room, the theatres have mostly normal DTS-equipment and _pay_ to lucasfilm to get the THX-badge.

  7. System Administrator? on Tales From The Bazaar · · Score: 1

    > Such things as configuring Samba and writing shell scripts were something I learned under Chris Lehmanns's coordination at school.

    Oh, fuck that. Whats the difference between such a "System Administrator" and an MCSE?

    Not a lot.

    Probably about none.

  8. Re:Bad Flash Diagnostics on FOX.com Apologizes to Linux Users · · Score: 1

    Well, probably not every combination. I think the following would be enough:

    MSIE4/Windows
    MSIE5/Windows
    Netscape 4.7/Windows
    Opera/Windows
    Netscape 4.7/MAC
    MSIE 4.5/MAC
    Netscape/Linux

    eventually Lynx/Windows

    Argh. Thats why my desk is cluttered with keyboards.
