  1. Re:*slaps forehead* on TCP/IP Header Bit Added to Improve Security · · Score: 1


    It's getting a little funnier.

  2. Re:Linux users like this one? on Has Linux Lapped Apple As Competition For Redmond? · · Score: 2

    Odd, the writing style doesn't fit that of the real Joe Barr at all.
    Could it be that you made up the whole thing?
    Pardon me if I don't see the humor in an AC slandering a great American.

    The W3C has a nice page that'll tell you everything you need to know (to post on slashdot) in about 5 minutes.

  4. Re:Are these things accurate? on Tilt Sensors For Palm Pilots · · Score: 1

    Mmmmm.
    Dashboard accelerometer; keeps time, does math, measures acceleration. Test and tune on the deserted stretch of highway near you. -If you don't like your performance on the skidpad you could use it as a level to set the caster. I'm pretty sure I could use this once a day...For the first week anyway.
    If nothing else it would give me a prop for my long, drawn-out, boring explanations to simple questions that were probably merely observations to begin with.

  5. Pelican 1470 on Where Can One Find Nice Laptop Carrying Cases? · · Score: 2

    A hard pastic case like the ones I use for rifles and cameras, but briefcase size.
    My Dell I7.5k just barely fits in the thing with all but the thin top and bottom foam taken out. Add the ac adaptor, some cable, a couple of cd's and pcmcia paraphrenalia and the thing is full.
    I like it 'cause it looks cool, but I'd actually recommend it to someone with a less tank-like laptop.
    If your machine is a millimeter bigger than the I7500 forget about it though. The specs are available here. I notice a bigger version is listed on the "coming soon" page. I guess I bought too soon.

  6. Re:pneumatic tubes should be bundled with DSL on The Dead Media Project · · Score: 1

    The obvious danger of script-kitties abusing the well-known holes in mod_purrl will keep this from happening.

    A Distributed DoK attack would be more catastrophic than all the ping -f's in the world.

    (There's a good one in the procedure for dumping the delivery to STOUT but I can't formulate it right now.)

    How do you do a +1 Offtopic?

  8. Re:Red Hat vs. Mandrake Question on Red Hat 6.2 Beta on FTP Servers · · Score: 1

    I gave up on pete's way back in v.383 when the so-called "base install" put a XEMACS binary in every user's home directory.
    My Granny's using a newer version and says it's K-rad though, so I might give it another shot.

    Yeah, I mean those high quality LUCAS electronic components are oh-so-reliable.

    Also the reason Brits claim to enjoy their beer warm.

  10. Re:replacing ipchains??? for real? on Linux 2.3.40 released · · Score: 3

    Why:

    there is now no method of sending packets from kernel to user space. Transparent proxying isn't exactly "right". Masquerading is bolted on top of packet filtering, which is what makes building a firewall so complicated.

    The rest of the story:

    The new protocol (iptools (?)) is 'podabe backwards compatible with upchains and ipfwadm.

  11. Re:First on Miguel Delivers State of Gnome Address · · Score: 1

    Tried that, didn't fix the problem. But I did get a "shop" button!
