  1. Re:SIP and NAT on Project Gizmo Challenges Skype · · Score: 1

    That is correct.

    If it doesn't work with NAT it is a useless and will be dead on arrival. Perhaps the proposed P2P enhancements will fill in the missing pieces of the protocol.

    Until then, I will still use Skype, because it just works. Really.

  2. Re:Just do what I do on Passwords - 64 Characters, Changed Daily? · · Score: 1

    Use a longer salt, perhaps of 128 characters. Then it will be much harder to make a premade dictionary of hashes.

  3. Re:Arkeia! on Remote Backup of Windows Boxes w/o Samba? · · Score: 1

    Only problem with Arkeia is its userinterface. It looks like Picasso made it when he was high on crack...

  4. Re:Good points? on New SkyOS 5.0 Screenshots Released · · Score: 1

    The web site wasn't even slashdotted, says it all actually... not becuase of good OS, but because of lack in interest... :-)

  5. So why should I use SkyOS, and not GNU/Linux? on New SkyOS 5.0 Screenshots Released · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It looks just like all other spinoffs where someone begins to write a cool GUI, and then it becomes a not so cool OS.

    What am I missing if I run GNU/Linux, GNU/BSD or GNU/Cygwin/Windows?

    If it's only the GUI I guess it can be implemented in XFree...

    (GNU above is only to keep RMS happy...)

  7. How about .museum on ICANN Gives VeriSign 36 Hours to Pull Sitefinder · · Score: 1

    Look at http://www.ttttttttttttjljlkjljljljlkjkttttttttt.m useum/ or any other random .museum link.
    Same shit, other provider?

    Is verisign responsible for that also?

  8. Re:Two points of significance for crashes. on HTML Rendering Crashes IE · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is one of the bugs in MS Products that actually don't make a big difference.

    It's a usual bug. All browsers have them. This bug does *not* exist because MS is Evil. And MS probably will fix it, but I can't say they have to hurry. If someone inserts this text into a page to crash a browser, let him. It doesnt stop anyone to go to serious web sites.

    Get over it. Stop this useless bashing. I'm not in anyway pro MS, but this story has got to be a joke. And if I had paid for the Slashdot subscription I would have been able to see this breaking-story before many others... What has happened to this site?

    CowboyNeal - Help me!!! Come back. Plz

  9. Re:why some people are upset on W3C's New XHTML 2.0 Draft A Mistake? · · Score: 1, Troll
    The question remains, why are there deprecated elements in a non-backwards compatible markup language?

    It sounds like no logic, or perhaps, Microsoft Logic.

    Serious Question: How much influence does our favorite pet, Microsoft, have in the W3C?

    No I am not trying to bash Microsoft, we all know they are good at somethings (like sucking....)

  10. Re:What is up with the LVM? on Linus Torvalds On Linux 2.6 · · Score: 1
    It's so nice to be able to move a particular part of the filesystem by dd'ing it through nc (netcat). I do this to back things up before I make major changes.
    Please explain the dd through nc thing.
    Do you use it to copy a filesystem to another computer?

    Can you explain the steps taken?
  11. I have a better way... on Researching Searching Algorithms? · · Score: 1

    I usually use ORDER BY like in this example:

    SELECT * FROM Articles ORDER BY ArticleId

    It works every time. Don't need any log() or sin() or any of that fancy stuff.

  12. Re:HyShot Scramjet Test on HyShot Scramjet Test Declared a Success · · Score: 1
    You don't understand. This is really hot. Hotter than a Beowolf cluster of 2.2 Ghz Athlons overclocked to 4.4 Ghz running Apache with the latest Red Hat distro on it, when it's being Slashdotted.

    It needs water cooling anyway.


    Wait until it rains, then you get free water cooling...

    With your sense of humor why don't tell him that he could replace the USB drive with a normal floppy drive or IDE disk...

    Stupid, the matter som people are made of...

  15. Re:Well.. on Converting an Exchange Userbase to Unix? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You *cannot* have IMAP and Exchange accounts at the same time on the same computer.

    You have to choose between Internet mode (POP and/or IMAP) or Workgroup mode (POP and/or Exchange).

    But there is no problem to create a Personal Folders file and save all info into.

    Then you can reconfigure mailsupport in Outlook and and change to Internet mode, open the previously created .pst file and copy all mail to the IMAP server.

    With the same reasoning you could say that Windows is an Intel technology, just because Windows is only GUI for the Intel processor.

  23. Re:But surely on Linus Tries Out BitKeeper · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I say, any project above 50 KLOCs and with 100 revisions on average would be pushing the limits.

    That is bullsh*it!
    The CVS limitation does not lie in how many KLOC or number of revisions it can handle. It handles lot more than that.
    The limitations is purely functional, like how it handles branches, merging and such stuff. There it lags behind the newer systems, like Bitkeeper, arch and others.

  24. Re:Issues on How Reliable are USB Memory Keys? · · Score: 1
    Got this from info from http://www.diskonkey.com , Section General FAQ's.

    Can the DiskOnKey be used as a bootdisk? Yes. Some BIOS versions currently support the DiskOnKey as a bootable device. Two well known O/S's are from Compaq and IBM (Phoenix BIOS). There may be others that support the DiskOnKey as a bootable device. It is recommended to contact your BIOS vendor to check for capability. The bootability of the DiskOnKey is capable in the latest version of the DiskOnKey. See the FAQ on DiskOnKey differences to determine if your DiskOnKey is bootable or not.

    Actually how useful is this? It's better to get drunk, take LSD or something.

    Please don't implement this in KDE.
