  1. Re:If you were running Linux OR BSD on Dumping Lots of Data to Disk in Realtime? · · Score: 1

    Not true. Specialist stores have 8x AGP RAID for pure speed. If you really want to break the bank you could even go for PCI-Xpress. And if AGP is only for Gfx, how come I have an AGP soundcard? Obviously a twelve year old...

  2. Is there really any need on Tunneling Shellcode with ActiveX · · Score: 1

    For another exploit? With the vulnerabilities in IE itself, in RPC, and in ActiveX, who needs another entry hole? Of course it would be better if MS didnt deny the existence of bugs for months before being bothered to fix them...

  3. If you were running Linux OR BSD on Dumping Lots of Data to Disk in Realtime? · · Score: 0

    You could use the XFS file system to get faster read/write speeds. In addition I'd recommend a special RAID setup. You would want SCSI320 RAID striping over 4 drives, in addition you'd want it mirroring over a further 4 drives. You'd need to set up a RAID array to achieve this, but it's well worth it for the performance gains. Make sure your RAID is 8xAGP or PCI-X. PCI is far too slow.

  4. I look forward to the day... on Judge Denies TigerDirect's Request for Injunction · · Score: 0, Redundant

    When they try to sue the oxford dictionary for including the word tiger...

  5. What the future holds on Judge Denies TigerDirect's Request for Injunction · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Will companies and products have to have numbers in place of names? After all just about everything is trademarked these days until you decide to invent words... Right now I'm off to buy a 5759852850 by 1284257630530. See you later...

  6. Re:Release tokens on Moving from Binary Drivers to Open Source? · · Score: 1

    ANSI/ISO C might have difficulty with a microsoft compiler. I mean its not like they support 25% of the standard.

  7. Release tokens on Moving from Binary Drivers to Open Source? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Make sure you tag each release with a tag appropriate to its stability (prealpha, alpha, beta, stable etc.) Also you might want to do what redhat did with fedora and have a section if the team working on the drivers in an open source manner. naturally keep the binaries available for download too. And make sure it compiles on GCC and mingw. Good Luck!
