  1. Laplink on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 1

    I'll just have to use ye olde LapLink via parallel or serial ports.

  2. Re:I think they should give Ken Alex's job. on They Killed Ken! · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have noticed that too but I wonder if the researchers provide Trebek with info on possible near misses. eg: The operating system Linus Torvalds wrote? What is Unix? Sorry, Unix was written by AT&T. Linux is the correct answer.

  3. Re:Voters don't think on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nearly all Canadians think Bush is an moron and bad for the USA/world and we don't understand why our American neighbo[u]rs don't see this too. Normally we are very good at understanding the behavour of Americans. In fact we're usually better than Americans at this. Way better than the Brits. I think its like when your sister is dating some guy who is a bit mean or rude and you wish she'd drop him since she can do better. Talking to her won't help -- you know that. You just hope she grows out of him. Good luck, sister.

  4. Re:questions have been raised on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the president was actually on the phone calling in airstrikes instead of reading a book about a goat.

  5. Re:Translucency on X.org X11 Server Release 6.8 · · Score: 1

    I tired it with Win2000 and it crashed more than usual.

  6. Re:Nothing like PGP on OSI And Microsoft Negotiating Over Sender ID · · Score: 1

    MX says where a domain wants to receive mail and SPF and SenderID say were they send it from. Its a start. I'd prefer calling the record XM since its the reverse of MX.

  7. Windows is the problem on Day in the Life of the Internet Storm Center · · Score: -1, Troll

    It should actually be called the Microsoft Windows Storm Center. Most of the problems are with Windows.

  8. Re:java-ish? on APR 1.0.0 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    A portalable runtime (like the APR) would be a good place to start if you were going to write a Java interpreter.

  9. Redhat Fedora fixed also on MIT Warns of Critical Vulnerabilities in Kerberos 5 · · Score: 1

    go to:
    http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/ linux /core/updates/2/i386/
    and grab krb*

    Or use yum, up2date, etc.

  10. Re:RED HAT NETWORK WAS BROKEN on Delta Compression for Linux Security Patches? · · Score: 0

    This posting is bogus.

  11. That guy on Port-A-Nuke · · Score: 1

    I don't about you but I wouldn't want to be that guy standing beside it!

  12. All in one on Windows Media Player 10 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    From the screen shots it looks like its supposed to everything. That bugs me. It rips, burns, plays to music for you. I like MediaPlayer Classic that just plays and WinAmp. I can't see "upgrading" soon.

  13. Re:Couldn't be done in U.S. on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 1

    Yeah 500 degrees celcius according to the website.
    I can't see any problem with that!

  14. OSRM on Ballmer on Linux · · Score: 1

    If you really are worried, just get some insurance.

  15. Re:Look at those security requirements! on Microsoft Opens MSN Music Store · · Score: 1

    And, I might mention the obvious... There is no need for ActiveX for a music download site. It just needs to list the songs and let you click on buy. So they aren't happy with already levereaging their desktop monopoly to get people to the music store, they also need to leverage people to use IE. Wow!

  16. American Band on Broadband Envy: Fixing American Broadband · · Score: 1

    We're a American Band,
    We're a American Band,
    We're comin' to your town we'll help you party it down.
    We're a American Band.

    Oh Broadband. Nevermind.

  17. Signal Strength on Gnome 2.8 RC1 Released · · Score: 1

    I didn't know you could measure signal strength for and ethernet connection. Oh I suppose its wireless.
    Just wondering is there such a thing for a wired connection?

    I totally agree. There's TONS of warning about the election!!! They can send their ballots by registered postal mail from anywhere in the world.

    If you want crypt you can use a loopback crypt
    on your GmailFS parition.

  22. Re:Old and Grumpy on Examining the Treo 650 Smartphone · · Score: 1

    Are you sure you are in your 20s and played with an Apple ][gs. The Apple ][gs came out in about 1980.
    Which is about 23 years ago. About the time you were born.

  23. Re:Does it run linux? on The Power of X · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Terrible for some things. Not terrible for others. Look at all the websites that are applications. Eg travel sites. Select your city, date make a query.

  24. Re:A land-line...? on VoIP And Cell Phones Eroding Traditional Telecoms · · Score: 1

    That's quite a drag to learn. The main reason I like my land line is that a pair of copper goes directly to the CO.

  25. Re:Here's how it probably works on Revolutionary Spam Firewall Developed · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the info!!!
    (When I was searching I kept finding another spamd which is a daemonized SpamAssassin)

    It probably helps the graylist spamd work better
    that its only a *BSD project. If more people
    used it then evildoer spammers would be more
    likely to react to it.

    I am going to look around the patch-o-matic site
    Its a great source for GNU/Linux's iptables addons.
