  1. crap .. on Pure JavaScript Unix-Like Web Based OS · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does this mean that Boot Managers need to be Acid2 Certified as well??!!?

  2. Re:Happy with Tiger Server on Essential Mac OS X Server Administration · · Score: 1

    Ohh yeah, one more thing. Noticable speed improvement from Panther Server to Tiger Server (on the same 350mhz iMac).

  3. Happy with Tiger Server on Essential Mac OS X Server Administration · · Score: 5, Informative

    Actually, I've been happy with the Tiger server, except for one little glitch. Apple Remote Desktop seems to lock up my server to the point where the server would stop responding to ANY requests. Once that thing got turned off, I haven't rebooted it yet. I don't know, I feel that ARD 2.2 has more bugs in it than ARD 2.1 (which has been rock solid for me). To bad I can't downgrade in Tiger (ARD 2.2 comes in by default).

    Other than that, it runs my Drupal powered weblog very well (on a 350mhz iMac no less, installation was a bitch due to the fact my iMac didn't have a DVD drive).

  4. Re:Referer blocked on BSA Piracy Study Deeply Flawed · · Score: 1

    The economist is refusing connexion with Slashdot as referer. Simply copy/paste the link in a new tab.

    Is it me, or is that one smart way of trying to mitigate a /. effect to your server? It seems these people had a gameplan from this happening before.

  5. wow on Nokia and Intel Group Up To Develop WiMax · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It looks like we found a technology threesome. Intel, Apple, and Nokia ... lets call them Noinpple!

  6. On the bright side on Apple to Lock OSXi to Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    One the bright side, we don't have to worry about "Product Activations" or Serial Numbers if they do decide to take this approach.

  7. Re:Temporary measures on Apple to Lock OSXi to Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    Or, IMHO, write a boot loader to kick start the OS (similiar to Grub)!

  8. Re:Or Maybe... on Is Piracy the Pathway to Apple Profit? · · Score: 1

    Which is exactally in line with my thoughts that IBM is shoving Apple aside to make room for Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo.

  9. Re:We could never colonise this planet.... on Rocky Planet Discovered · · Score: 1

    Thus adding more mass to the planet making it faster!!!
    Or, adding more mass to the planet and making it slow down!!

    Eather way, we'll fuck it up.

  10. Re:NOOOOOOOOO! on Gentoo Founder on his way to Redmond · · Score: 1

    He is, its just that sience there is only one Microsoft and several Linux distros, he has to kill 'em all and leave one left. It brings the OS Community back into Balance.

  11. Re:An old idea on Books in Beta Form · · Score: 2, Funny

    This seems a lot like what they did in the 17th cent. with the passing around of manuscripts before publishing--- just an observation.

    I knew that /. was bad about posting dupes, but this is just getting out of hand ...

  12. crap .. on Digital TV Transmitter Using a VGA card · · Score: 3, Informative

    I clicked on the link while I was at work, now I'm waiting for the network security people to remove me from my workstation.

    This article states that Apple's target is Dell. You should check it out. I have my little coment about the article on my blog (not that its important or anything).

    They are currently working on their dual-search-engine core "secret" and will be available late this summer ...

  17. Well .. on Laptops Outsell Desktops · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, IMHO, this was bound to happen. With those good "desktop replacement" laptops, who wouldn't want to?

  18. Re:This is interesting... on CA Warns Of Massive Botnet Attack · · Score: 1

    From my understanding, it is the way that the Kernel does the Disk I/O Operation ...

  19. Re:This is interesting... on CA Warns Of Massive Botnet Attack · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have done this in the past, but there are some problems I keep running into regarding OpenBSD on my server.

    1. The MySQL Databases' Tables keep getting Corrupted
    2. The disk writes in OpenBSD are extremely slow.

    So I had decided the best approach is to use OpenBSD with (its wonderful) PF as my firewall and use FreeBSD as the actual servers (with the chroot trickery that OpenBSD does by default). This setup has been rock solid so far.

    Hey, its like those Starwars sequels .. "A New Hope" "The MPAA Strikes Back" "Return of the Broadcast Flag" .... hmmmmm .. I wonder ..

  22. Gawd Damnit on Coming Soon, Roadcasting · · Score: 1

    I have been thinking about this type of system for over two years now. Think of it this way:

    One giant mesh system with every stero that has pretty much a streamcast server built inside of it. Now if there are any open WiFi points on the highway, why not do a peer-to-peer like system to relay that connection to the cars that are not in range?

    In LA or San Diego type of traffic, people will be connected to the internet AND be able to listen to any streams that other drivers are listening to. But alas, another good idea down the drain. I should move on my next idea, but as with this idea, I do not know where to go or who to contact.
