  1. Re:"Everyone I know" == "Everyone in the world"? on Pioneer to sell first recordable DVD decks · · Score: 1

    umm, at the last computer show I went to (KGP Productions, Edison, NJ) there was a booth selling cards that plug into the playstation's parallel (serial?) port that act as mod chips and also supply you with cheats.. so the rubber coating won't help.

  2. My suggestion on How to Approach Venture Capital Firms? · · Score: 1

    Umm, I've never done anything like that, but I would think that he might want to patent his invention so that no one can steal it.

  3. Compile Error on Kill -9 With a Doom Shotgun · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I keep getting this error when I do a make in the xdoomsrc directory:

    gcc -O3 -m486 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -DNORMALUNIX -DLINUX -DBUGFIXES -DPOLL_POINTER -DMUSSERV -I/usr/include/glide -c
    pr_process.c -o linux-x86/pr_process.o

    pr_process.c:23: warning: data definition has no type or storage class

    is it just me, or is there anyone else with a similar problem?

  5. Re:Missing info on Microwave T1 Service · · Score: 1

    umm, it's a dedicated connection?

  6. Re:*yawn* on Microwave T1 Service · · Score: 1

    seriously, could you show me how you managed to do this? I was looking into doing something like this for a while, but I haven't found anything.

  7. Re:Old Techs On TV on Interview: The Punk Hacker Kid Who Starred on MTV · · Score: 1

    hmm, is this the same guy who has a show on the sci-fi channel called 'cool tech'?

  8. Re:Microwave networking on Microwave/High Frequency Private Broadcasting? · · Score: 1

    ouch, that'll hurt... I was hoping to hook my friend into my local network using wireless technology, but I don't think I can point a dish at another one when they're 5 miles apart.

  9. Re:Become a amateur radio operator! on Microwave/High Frequency Private Broadcasting? · · Score: 1

    hmm, sounds interesting... do you know if I could possibly broadcast a few mbps ethernet link at least 5 miles if I become licensed?

  10. Re:Note To Small Businesses: Don't Extend Credit on R.I.P. Linuxbox · · Score: 1

    Hey, I was just wondering... How do you go about being able to accept credit cards? Do you have to buy a special hardware solution, or is there another way? Anyway I was planning on offering some cheap web hosting and pop email accounts as soon as I get a DSL line, and just wanted to know.

  11. Netsurfer Light on The Ultimate Computer Chair · · Score: 1

    I actually managed to navigate the company's site, and I found a design that looks a lot better. It's called the Netsurfer Light. You can see it here, without any of the other frames.

  12. Re:FIRST integrated uP/peripherals? on National Semiconductor unveils their PC-on-a-chip · · Score: 1

    Umm, what happens if you want a new video card? do you have to get a completely new chip?

  13. Re:It's a Great Idea! on UN Proposes Email Tax · · Score: 1

    Yeah but if 10,000 people did this it would be $3600/hr. After a couple months it'll add up.

  14. Re:Easy to listen to cell phones on Listen to Cel phones live on the Internet? · · Score: 1

    I know about that... But AFAIK, the 800 - 900 mhz frequencies were the cell phone ones. For some reason, they work (without modification). I was interested in what frequencies the scanner couldn't get and why... Thanks anyway.

  15. Re:Easy to listen to cell phones on Listen to Cel phones live on the Internet? · · Score: 1

    My scanner seems to be able to scan the 806mhz - 956 mhz range, but I can't listen to the 175 - 406 mhz range or the 513 - 805 mhz range... Anyone know why? Is this because of the Govt/FCC regulations, or is this a cheap scanner (Radio Shack 50 Channel)?

  16. Re:The distro wars are kinda getting old on On Red Hat Bashing... · · Score: 1

    "Linux would have 100% of the server market"
    Seriously, do you think that linux is the only open source unix OS out there? Then I guess that you have never heard of FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD... And as a matter of fact, all of those operating systems have a lot more security out of the box and are much better suited for the server market... I'm not saying that linux shouldn't be in the server market, I just think that it should definetely not be the only one.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Thank you very much... I was waiting for someone to say that.

  18. Re:My Problem on On Red Hat Bashing... · · Score: 1

    Please don't start an OS war because of this, but I have a suggestion. If you really want a stable operating system (you talked of 120+ day uptimes), why not get FreeBSD. Also, it has the ports collection which makes software easy to install, and shouldn't be worse than RPMs.
    FreeBSD

    Just my 2 cents.

  19. Re:Port shell game - Security by obscurity on Ask Slashdot: Securing Web Servers Against Cracking · · Score: 1

    This method isn't the greatest, but if you have a secure box, this won't hurt.
    Here's the idea:

    Make the port numbers very high. Much higher than 1024, since that's as far as most port scanners go. That way, unwanted people won't know about them.
