  1. Re:It WILL be reverse engineered on MSN Messenger Access To Be Restricted · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Trillian Pro 2.0 beta already supports MSN6. Shouldn't be an issue for those of us who pair for Pro. Hopefully they'll implement it into the free version for the rest of you.

    Dude, xvid.com, while it may be a domain squatter, links to Koepi's and other builds. Not very hard.

    Hey, I have to say, I'm impressed with some of the ads I'm seeing on Slashdot now. Check out this one:

    Internal Server Error

    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
    Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

  8. Re:Lunix / BitKeeper on RMS Calls On Linux Developers To Replace BitKeeper · · Score: 1

    I know you're trolling, but that error has nothing to do with the OS. You can set the maximum number of DB connections in mySQL, and if that's exceeded, you get that error. So, nothing's broken, it's doing what it was told to.

  9. Re:Not the full OS on Linksys Releases GPLed Code for WRT54G · · Score: 1

    Yes, but software features are the main difference between brands of routers. Most of them have very similar hardware, and it's the configuration software that makes one better than the other, more often than not, especially to the average consumer. Give away the software for things like their web frontend, and all the features it offers, and they lose their uniqueness.

  14. Not really late.. on Bioware Releases Neverwinter Nights Linux Client Beta · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Lots of people are complaining that this is too late, and that they should have released a linux client with the box, and so on, and so forth..

    But the fact is, the game wasn't done when it came out. You can hardly blame them for not having a linux client ready when nothing else was, either. It was very obviously pushed out the door incomplete.

    For instance, the HUGE faction bug was just fixed, last week. I bought the game the day it came out, and have barely played it due to this bug. Now that it's fixed (along with a host of other problems, and new content, like rats, that should have been in there from the beginning) the game is where it should have been when it was released.

    I'm not blaming the developers, of course, as that's the state of the industry. Games are pushed out before they're ready all the time. This is just another instance of that, and it's admirable that they're still working hard on a Linux client that they will probably see very few sales as a result of (most people who are going to play it on Linux probably already own it).

  15. Re:Please port Baldur instead... on Bioware Releases Neverwinter Nights Linux Client Beta · · Score: 1

    You don't seem to get the point that people are pushing at you, so I'll stab it:

    The campaign that ships with Neverwinter Nights isn't very good. Not by BG standards, definitly. But that's not what makes NWN good.. The wealth of user made mods, and the excellent editor, along with the DM Client, are what make it an amazing game.

    Except that when the original PSX first came out, changing that CDROM to a CDRW would have upped te price a couple hundred..

  17. Re:In the real world on Trustworthy Computing At One Year · · Score: 1

    You're right and he's an idiot, but just to nitpick a bit, MS does in fact release security patches and other updates for the 2003 Server beta.

    I'm running RC2 on a couple of boxes and as far as I can tell it's mostly the same patches that come out for 2k/xp, but they do release them specific to 2003 Server.

    Not that he's running that. But like I said, just to nitpick.

  18. Re:In the real world on Trustworthy Computing At One Year · · Score: 1

    I had something similar happen once when I left the anonymous FTP access turned on in IIS's FTP server (actually I may have been using a 3rd party FTP server at the time, I don't recall).

    They create directories that Windows chokes on deleting or renaming - I never really investigated why, there's some blank spaces in the filenames, perhaps low ascii characters - and dump a bunch of files in there. I still have the directories on my drive, I just deleted the files inside them and didn't worry about it.

    Most likely this is some kid who set up a 2k server and turned on "all the features" which would include IIS ftp with anonymous access enabled. DEFINITLY user error.

  19. Re:Dead wrong on Whether (And When) To Buy HDTV? · · Score: 1

    While for normal TV viewing you're right, I personally rarely watch television and more often use my TV for movies - in most cases anamorphic 16:9 widescreen movies. In my case (and I'm sure there's others like me) widescreen is absolutely the superior choice.

  20. Re:A word about 64 bits (and SPARC/Sun, too)... on The Battle in 64-bit Land, 2003 and Beyond · · Score: 3, Insightful

    While you're more correct than the parent poster, I feel I should raise the point that "most people" don't have > 4GB of ram, don't encrypt their emails, don't use Photoshop, etc. In the high-end desktop and of course server markets, 64-bit obviously makes a difference. But "most people" aren't in that market.
