  1. 8 minute commute on Leaving Early May Cost You Time · · Score: 1

    According to Google Maps, I have an 8 minute commute. That seems right on.

    I have no problems commuting 8 minutes a day when I take 15 minute restroom breaks during the course of the day.

    I feel fortunate.

    Why didn't Jaguar (ok, Ford) sue Apple for releasing an operating system using their trademarked name??

    Search google for Jaguar and Apple is #3. The car, is #1 and #2.

  8. Paltry on Slashdot Readers Visit Meatspace · · Score: 1

    After reading about the general lack of numbers that showed up at these meetings, I think it's safe to say none of the places where the meeting occured were /.'ed.

    And buy our postages stamps to do it! You don't actually think that will work, do you?

    Good thing I'm still hanging on to my BeOS 5 cds.

  11. Re:On PS2 Blind Install on Slashback: Gnoogle, PlayStation, Assault · · Score: 1

    You need to establish a slush fund underneath your wife's radar to fund your hobbies. This is one of the things that makes my marriage work! ;)

  12. Me too! on Sun Works to Converge Linux and Solaris · · Score: 3, Informative

    IBM's AIX 5L has Linux integration...available now.

  19. Re:Older rescue on NASA Satellite Stranded · · Score: 1

    Assuming that it can land with one just because it lauched with one? The shuttle's launch is assisted by 2 booters and 1 main fuel booster.

    The landing is a "soft" glide down to earth.

    I think it IS safe to assume that the satellite could fit in the cargo area...assuming they can retract any commucation antena they had to extend.

  21. Re:Once again, Slashdotters want to have it both w on Read the Fine Print · · Score: 1

    "...that they need to make the OS download security upgrades automatically..."

    What exactly included in Windows XP? IE? Media Player? MS Money? MS Office? Outlook? (has anybody checked the EULA on their other software to see if this new provision has been included in them?).

    Give MS total control? Sounds like a great plan. That way they have ultimate responsibility and can probably be taken to court to pay for any damages done because of exploits....Of course this is already covered in the EULA also....

  22. Originally BeOS Tablet? on User Review of Transmeta-Based Aquapad · · Score: 1

    Does anybody remember if this was originally designed to run Be?

    I seem to remember this device being a future BeOS platform...

    I'll answer the ? myself...From the Mozilla FAQ:


    Have all the issues with Mozilla and crypto now been resolved?

    Almost. Now that the RSA patent is in the public domain, Mozilla crypto development can proceed with minimal restrictions. In the near future the Mozilla code base will include a complete open source cryptographic library, and Mozilla will include SSL support as a standard feature.


    Anybody have more (better) info?
