  1. this'll get ya on Classic Browsers Given New Life · · Score: 1

    What's really sad is that I still use IE2 on occasion...... at work, whenever installing WinNT4, it comes with IE2 built in!

  2. Re:Way OT, but is Slashdot Hypocritical? on Fred Moody Says Linux Worst Operating System Ever · · Score: 1

    Man! I keep on trying to click on those doubleclick links, because some of them look like really cool ads, but I keep on getting this "connection refused" error page.....

    *grins* Oh wait, I remember, I blocked out doubleclick at my router! And from that, I can see that about 1/4 of all of the slashdot ads are doubleclick... what a shame they don't get revenue from ME!

    I strongly encourage all of you to do the same.

  3. old problem with AT on Electrical Grounding in ATX Cases? · · Score: 1

    What exactly was the problem with the old AT power supply and surcharges? Feel free to message me privately, you know who I am :-o

    On another note, I think all you really need to do is run a wire to all of the motherboard mounting posts, and the outside of all drives and such, and that should be good enough. Getting a copy of the ATX specs might or might not be cheap.....

  4. Induhviduals on Debian 2.2 To Be Dedicated To Joel 'Espy' Klecker · · Score: 2

    When first reading this, I thought, like anyone else, "Wow, that's really a strong gesture, and demonstration of the community", and so on.


    But then, I realized just how much this one person has affected the world. I myself don't install Debian on any of my computers, but I regularly use at least one Debian installation..... and it's very solid, thanks in no small part to this man.

    I challenge each one of you to think about this... has your life been affected? Mine has, even though I don't really think about it much.

  5. Here's My Idea on Several Boycotts Of RIAA Organizing · · Score: 1

    Lots of people here are saying that all music coming out of the RIAA is bad, and they don't like it. Well, I think that that is a little extreme; I like some of it, just not all. (Obviously, Britney needs to go find another profession...)

    Here's what I propose we do:
    1. Get the music you want, any way you can (excluding bribery, vandalism, etc.)
    2. Send a check or money order or whatever straight to the artist/band.
    3. Listen to your music in peace, knowing that you've just screwed the RIAA and helped the artist.

    ... And who knows, you might even get a thank-you note or something!

  6. Re:play cores...... cores??? header files! on Quickies from OLS - les Quickies d'OLS · · Score: 1

    Oops. Dang HTML interpretation.

    I meant to type bits/bits.h and bits/types.h.......

    Now go listen!

  7. play cores...... cores??? header files! on Quickies from OLS - les Quickies d'OLS · · Score: 1

    Man..... you can get some good playtime out of and ! It gets monotonous and annoying after a while, but there's a cool part at the beginning of my types.h, and both of them end with this really nifty low note....

    Now imagine a Beowulf cluster of these! It'd be worse than a marching band in 110 degree (F) weather.

  8. yet another one on Free/Non-Profit Hosting Providers? · · Score: 1

    I've been running Firehead ( http://www.firehead.org/ ) since the summer of 1998, and I've passed through several locations before getting my domain....

    I limit it to mostly just people I know, but I think I'm doing pretty well with maybe 50 to 60 accounts. (Please don't all go sign up! thanks...)

    Just my two pence. (And I'm not from that island.)

  9. here's their blocks on Secretive Company Scanning the Net · · Score: 2

    and I put this in my linux 2.2 firewall script:
    $IPCHAINS -A output -d 63.109.88.104/29 -j REJECT
    $IPCHAINS -A output -d 63.102.181.0/24 -j REJECT

    Have a nice day!

  10. Re:Here's a NEW idea: on New, More Destructive Love Bug Variant · · Score: 1

    This is a good analysis for the general case of a "good" virus, however the one proposed is quite unique in that it precludes further execution of itself. Steps of execution: 1. send copies 2. disable extensions This way, although lots of people do get copies of it, and mail servers might shutdown under the load, the key point is that no one ever will execute it twice! Once the initial "damage" is over, if any, the problems are all solved.

  11. how to create enemies! (sorta) on Parsec Demo For Linux Released · · Score: 1

    I've had this game for more than 24 hours now, I've been watching Parsec for like a year now...
    Anyways, if you want to make an "enemy" ship that doesn't do anything, but can be blown up, type in the console (~) "summon class hurricane" or "summon class firebird"... hehehehe
    And if you poke around, you can figure out how to do some cheats and stuff.

    Anyways. I'm surprised nobody has posted this information yet! Hope this post makes it to a good scoring so people will know...

  12. Re:What about my own root server? on Care to Register Your Own TLD? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you are thinking of TINC, The Internet Namespace Cooperative. (Forgive me if that title is wrong...)
    It is located at http://www.tinc-org.com/

    I own the .mnet. TLD within the TINC.

  13. Re:not neccesarily so - look at AGP on USB Forum Becomes Too Greedy? · · Score: 1

    AGP cards are different from USB on two levels:
    1. Making the hardware. Non-profit groups certainly aren't going to be making any AGP hardware, nor would they really want to, as far as I can tell. With USB, this is somewhat the same, but someone actually might want to make their own USB device.
    2. Using the hardware. (Software) AGP is a simple extension of PCI in terms of using the actual card, if I'm not mistaken. The necessary support in this case was also granted by whomever necessary, to make it into various kernels and XFree86 and co. With USB, it is not a simple extension of _ANYTHING_, nor is there someone giving support to those working on adding software support for the hardware.

    Is that clear enough?

  14. UMAX on Looking for SCSI Linux Scanners · · Score: 1

    I don't know if you can find one anymore, but my UMAX Vista S6E works really well. Other UMAX's are supported pretty well too, I think.

  15. amd on Intel Encounters Another Problem with RAMBUS · · Score: 1

    LONG LIVE AMD! It's nice to see that justice is eventually meted out on those who engage in bad practices. Now if only it would happen soon to some other companies...... *cough* mpaa *cough

  16. Re:Distributed.net or Seti? on Could Distributed.Net Help the Mars Polar Lander? · · Score: 1

    Think about it. The signal-processing code needed would be somewhat similar to SETI, but different from both SETI and d.net. But why do you think it would have to be implemented from scratch? Let's see, who is already doing the calculations and HAS THE CODE... NASA ,or whatever university. Therefore, if /either/ the SETI or the d.net people were willing, it should be especially easy to take the NASA signal processing code, the network and other parts of client code, and make a working client very, very quickly. And, just my opinion, but I think the d.net client is already much more suited for this. If I'm not mistaken, both SETI and d.net do some work twice to check for bad clients, which is good; BUT, d.net is already an extremely modular system, probably making it quite easy to "plug 'n' play." Who's up for it? *raises hand*
