  1. Re:Good on Google Open Sources Its Data Interchange Format · · Score: 1

    Here is 160 FOSS projects google released http://code.google.com/hosting/projects.html. Heck even google's new big thing AppEngine is OSS.

    Thats a pretty good amount of code. What else do you want them to release? their search engine? gmail?

  2. Our system on Best DNS Naming Scheme For Small/Medium Businesses? · · Score: 1

    I'll chime in with the location subdomains + machine function. My old place where I wasnt the Sr. Admin had a random system naming scheme based on whatever the crew was "feeling" at the time, so you end up with machines named "Gordita" and "Pink Pony" - WTF do they do? And this was for 100+ servers.

    My new place where I'm in charge goes like this...
    server function.city+office number.country.domain.com
    NAS1.sj1.us.example.com (NAS file sever one, in office one in san jose, united states) I try to keep all the server names under 4 characters so I have MX#, APP#, DB#, WEB#, etc...

  4. Re:thirded... on Boy Scouts Ask Open Source Community For Help · · Score: 3, Insightful

    turns out a huge chunk of the Boy Scouts is financed by the Mormon church.

    Thats probably because almost every stake (area of church buildings) has there own BSA troop. When you add up how many LDS churches there are, and that many of the young male members join the BSA troop for there stake - you get a large amount of membership funding.

    Don't try to turn basic statistics into a conspiracy.

  9. Re:Weird, I have IPv6 and didn't know it (comcast) on The Night the IETF Shut Off IPv4 · · Score: 1

    Figured it out, it looks like my Apple Airport automatically configures 6to4 and sets the workstations up - sweet. So comcast didn't give me native IPv6, Apple set up 6to4 for me, which is still cool :-)

  10. Re:Weird, I have IPv6 and didn't know it (comcast) on The Night the IETF Shut Off IPv4 · · Score: 1

    I'm in Miami, FL with the residential 6Mbs package. I'm on OS X with an AirPort Extreme router and always wondered why my laptop said that I had an IPv6 address, but just figured it was my router giving out its own local IPv6 with DHCP (or whatever the IPv6 equivalent is) but sure enough I can get to all the IPv6 only sites with no problem.
    *shrug*

  11. Weird, I have IPv6 and didn't know it (comcast) on The Night the IETF Shut Off IPv4 · · Score: 1

    went to http://www.ipv6.org/ and it said that I had an IPv6 address, did a $ping6 2001:4860:0:2001::68 (thats ipv6.google.com) and got replies.
    anyone else on comcast seeing this??

    Yes, other servers can connect to google. And yes there is support in the XMPP protocol for encryption (SSL) from the client to the server, and then from source to the destination server.

  14. Why do people even about Scientologists? on "Anonymous" Takes Scientology Protest to the Streets · · Score: 1
    I don't get it. Why cause all the anti-scientology hub-bub?

    Sure they sue people, have some bat-shit crazy ideas (IMHO) but why not just leave them alone and let there followers mess up their own life's? If we all ignored them then all we would have to deal with is just the people in the malls selling the books and thats it, right? They are really no different than any other "religion" - so why single them out to get a rise?

    Just have your personal beliefs and carry on with your life. Take a hike in the woods, see a play, enjoy your own life, rather than "protesting" something that doesn't affect you personally, heck if you want to protest there are plenty of other causes that need more attention. Seems like a waste of the short time we are here to me


    Or am I missing something?

  15. Re:Without reading the reversion list on Mac OS X 10.5.2 Update Brings Welcome Fixes · · Score: 1

    "The only reason Apple impose this artificial limitation on customers is at the behest of their real customers - the RIAA, et al."

    OR...Maybe, just maybe...they don't want to get sued by said RIAA. I know it's a wild notion to think the RIAA would sue someone, but we have to consider it.

  19. Is BBC it for TV in the UK? on BBC Rules That Wi-Fi Radiation Findings Were Wrong · · Score: 1

    Being an American the only news I ever hear from across the pond is from the BBC, is that all you folks have over there? I know the notion seems kind of silly, but why is that the only 'network' I hear about? From reading wikipedia the network sounds like PBS/NPR we have over here. Could someone please clarify my American ignorance?

  23. Not a Zero-day on Zero-day Exploit in PDF With Adobe Reader · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree with the replies on bugtraq when this was announced earlier in the week, it is not a Zero-day. A zero day requires that the exploit be released AT THE SAME TIME AS THE VENERABILITY. There was no exploit released, thus this is just a venerability, a big one, but not a zero-day.
