  1. It depends upon your gateway on GMail Sign-Ups Via Mobile · · Score: 2, Informative

    In my university they have US based gateway so when I login into gmail it shows links to registration on front page; but at home my gateway is local so it does show me 50 invitation inside the account as well as info to this new feature.

  2. They also got MS-Word plug-in on Google Reacts to Splogs · · Score: 1

    This may be bit off topic; they got Blogger for MS-Word so that you can use Blogger from within Microsoft Word!!! They have same stuff with Google toolbar.

  3. And few more commands on Best Linux Hardware Diagnostics? · · Score: 1

    less /var/log/debug
    less /var/log/dmesg or dmesg | less

    Varioues files under /proc

    I prefer less as it gives more options such as MOVING , SEARCHING etc

    Also you can write your own custom script to digout information not just from one linux server but from other Linux/BSD servers and email/page back the results.

  4. Will see both Google and Yahoo ads on Yahoo to Launch Blog Ad Network · · Score: 1

    Right now yahoo webhosting gives free $50 credit for Google Adword when you sign up for hosting account. I guess they will change this in future.
    Most of the bloggers and website owners will use both Google and Yahoo to earn money, so in the future we will see ads shown by both network.

  7. Well I'm not in mood on System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 1

    Well I wasn't aware of this day. But it is good to know that we have such day :D. But we are not in celebration mood as most of the network was down since Wensday due to rains...

  9. Can Linux really pose challenge to m$? on Microsoft Continues Anti-OSS Strategy · · Score: 1
  10. Thanks on Net Marketers Worried as Cookies Lose Effectiveness · · Score: 1

    Thanks! I just deleted all cookies from FireFox :D

    However, I find cookies very dangerousness on Public computer located in cyber cafes and libraries; so it is best to delete them.

  11. At least you need few rules on Tear Down the Firewall · · Score: 1

    It is true that if you run dedicated FTP/www server then firewall/iptables plays limited role such as blocking IPs. But I run iptables on server to block atleast following type of stuff:

    Syn-flood protection
    Make sure NEW incoming tcp connections are SYN packets; otherwise drop them
    Packets with incoming fragments drop them:
    Incoming malformed XMAS packets drop them:
    Incoming malformed NULL packets
    Spoofing and bad addresses
    Filter incoming ICMP, PING traffic
    Block the unwanted IPS

  12. Just noticed on Google DNS Glitch Caused Outage · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Thought gmail was slow and Adsens was not working but google.co.in was up and running :)

    However I noticed http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/ don't know what the hell it is... or just one of those google own funny stuff :-?

  17. Bottom line on Cox on Torvalds and Linux Kernel Development · · Score: 0, Redundant

    No one is perfect!!!

  18. Re:At least what apps I needed available on linux on Cooking With Linux · · Score: 1

    I use irc clients and zinc (yahoo chat client) even some time Gaim

  19. At least what apps I needed available on linux  on Cooking With Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    Entertainment - XMMS, xine tvtime
    Office work - Open Office
    Surf the net and an email - Firefox and buddies
    Chat - no comments ;)
    Games - Only thing I miss couple of games apart from Doom

    No need to install drivers, for example for some wired reason my tv tunner card always stuck under all edition of Windows but it works great on 2.6 kernel

    Hey Linux makes great desktop for me I don't need graphics application just use it as computer for above and I'm done :D

  20. Top yahoo Searches on $113.5 billion worth of electronics sold in 2004 · · Score: 2, Informative

    And here is yahoo's list http://tools.search.yahoo.com/top2004/

  21. Most of users won’t effect but look out for.. on Beware 'Fedora-Redhat' Fake Security Alert · · Score: 1

    Yes most of users are good techies and hard core linux user doesn't use RedHat or Fedora at on home system. Now about security, One Gentoo bug deletes entire /usr file system without any such bug so we need to be careful on both front ends I guess

  22. Re:Nice, but doomed on GMail Drive Shell Extension · · Score: 1

    I don't have a gmail account, but anyone who does should be able to easily confirm this

    Visit my blog, and or mail me i will give you gmail http://nixcraft.net/gmail-watch/

  23. This is interesting on Kodak Wins $1 Billion Java Lawsuit · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This is interesting... let's see who is next?

  24. Re:Klutsy, but... on New Clustering Search Engine to battle Google · · Score: 1

    I agree with you but..

    They are using Linux with Apache .. Good but no site should provide this kind of details open! Look at google and Yahoo, they don't provide accurate information on these issues.

    Results are clustered that's the only think I love right now. But I'm dam sure rest of competitor get this stuff soon

  25. Re:Well it is not all about space on Hotmail Begins to Upgrade Free Accounts · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It is not all about space. Hotmail is old service and this email id is known to many of friends. So you need to keep this id for some time. But main problems are:
    Slow working
    Large Advertisements
    No keyboard shortcuts
    and so on ....

    Bottom line: switch to GMAIL (read as get gmail invitation)
