  1. Re:rsync-backup on Backing up a Linux (or Other *nix) System · · Score: 1

    Sorry, misspoke: rdiff-backup.

  2. rsync-backup on Backing up a Linux (or Other *nix) System · · Score: 1

    I backup using rsync-backup to another hdd. I wrapped that in a simple perl script and use it to backup only the most essential of directories: /etc, /home, /root, etc. I've found that there's no real need to back up every file on your system -- they'll just get reinstalled anyway. For larger collections of files (eg. mp3s), I'd recommend another hard drive and just rsync it nightly... or RAID.

  3. think about it... on Sen. Hatch to Introduce Wide-ranging Copyright Bill · · Score: 1

    wouldn't this bill effectively make TCP/IP illegal since it can be used by programs like Morpheus and Kazaa or any webserver or FTP client to transfer files??? arguably, it can be used to abet the transfer of copyrighted material, and by this bill would therefore be illegal.

  4. April Fool's on Evil Bit Added to TCP/IP Packets · · Score: 1

    I think the April fool's joke wasn't the multiple posts, but the horrendous load time.

    Either way, i'm calling it -- another post of this story in an hour or so.

  5. Re:no thanks on 8.6 GB Internet? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Then they would use that peculiar method of reasoning to assign me a sentence that would require 24 lifetimes to serve, with the potential of requiring up to 57 lifetimes to serve.

    ...and in other news, Texas executed it's first software pirate today.

    So... would overclocking involve caffeine?

  9. Re:Paraffins on NASA Announces Enviromentally Friendly Jet Fuel · · Score: 1

    Maybe a full size image of the rocket site will help figure out what the oxidizer might be. Click Here

    Maybe it's contained in the GOX tank?? *Shrugs*

  10. Re:Confusion? on Microsoft Drops .NET Name For Next Windows Server · · Score: 2, Informative

    It was this voice translator app they whipped up in Visual Studio .Net that used the Babelfish translator.

    Even with an embedded version of .Net, I have my doubts. Especially when it comes to efficient bandwidth usage. Online time on cell phones isn't exactly cheap.

  11. Re:Confusion? on Microsoft Drops .NET Name For Next Windows Server · · Score: 1, Informative

    You forgot one: Sloooow!

    Microsoft put on a demo of .Net at my school where they coded up this app then ran it on a laptop. When they got to the point where they ran the app, they decided to hand out raffle tickets. Needless to say, I was able to register a linux.com e-mail address long before the app started working. Funny thing is... they expect this to eventually work on cell phones and such. If it's slow on a decent laptop running wireless on top of an OC-3... well, you get the picture.

  12. /. Blocked on Tallest Roller Coaster in the World · · Score: 0

    Seems that blocked /. Go fig.

    Open the link in the new window, wait for timeout. Click on link, hit enter. All Fixed :-D

  13. Audio Software on Reborn 1.0 And The State of Linux Audio · · Score: 1

    Even with the release of this excellent package, there's still a big hole waiting to be filled in the Linux audio community. Wave editing/mixing software is highly lacking. I have yet to find a decent wave editor with an integrated multitrack mixer. Can you say Cool Edit?
