  1. Re:But are these SharePoint sites? on Netcraft: Microsoft Closing In On Apache Web Server Lead · · Score: 1

    New gig, all the docs are in SharePoint, have been for 5 years, and it's impossible to find anything, but if you do it's outdated. No bother, I'm making up new standards and procedure, and it's all written up in Markdown and getting checked into git/gitlab for easy viewing/editing by anyone.

  2. Re:Netcraft Cofirms! on Netcraft: Microsoft Closing In On Apache Web Server Lead · · Score: 1

    A classic! Thanks for adapting it and keeping it alive.

  3. Re:Put these in the car on Smart Car Tipping Trending In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    Best post on the topic I've seen.

  4. Re:Smart Cars = HiTech ??? on Smart Car Tipping Trending In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    Is this another example of terrible Slashdot editorial comments distorting original story to "make news" as this alternative theory is not in the original source?

    You must be new here.

  5. Re:closed source on BitTorrent Unveils Secure Chat To Counter 'NSA Dragnet Surveillance' · · Score: 1

    I think this could be the phrase of the year, "That good old warped 80's tinfoil hat paranoia is the only thing that will save you anymore because it seems it was never wrong."

  6. Debian GNU/Linux - sparc64 on Of the Love of Oldtimers - Dusting Off a Sun Fire V1280 Server · · Score: 2

    I've run Debian on Ultra 1 and Ultra 5. OpenBSD is another option, I ran it on the Ultra 5 to run as a fw for a time.

    I'm assuming 'fdisk /mbr' will wipe the boot sector, if not, please mock this post and call me a newb (since I haven't worked with/on Windows in years)

    I see what you did there, nice!

  15. Same with an iPod Touch 4 on Use Google's Nexus 7 Tablet As a VoIP Phone, For Free · · Score: 1

    My son did this same thing last week on his iPod Touch 4 - sure it requires Wifi, but otherwise it 'just works' fine via Google Voice, so I don't know how this post is garnering this much attention, save for the Nexus 7 is the new/latest hotness.

  18. Re:Ummm... on Choosing the Right Security Tools To Protect VMs · · Score: 1

    I'm with you, I've built a few networks of VMs, and my latest has an OpenBSD KVM host as the gateway - what is the fear this article is trying to perpetuate? Maybe it's BE AFRAID, BUY MORE NETWORK APPLIANCES!

  19. Re:Own email server on Gmail Takes Largest Webmail Service Crown · · Score: 1

    Yes, this is also my reason. Spam was killing me 4 years ago when I still ran my own mailserver, and those addys were 5 years old then, now, I look at my Spam folder every now and then and can't believe the traffic.

  20. Grado SR 60i on Ask Slashdot: Best Headphones, Earbuds, Earphones? · · Score: 1

    These are the best bang for the buck, slightly above OP's price, but worth it. Read some reviews online, there's not many bad things to say about these cans. http://www.headphone.com/headphones/grado-sr-60i.php

  21. My experience on Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Tips For Working From Home? · · Score: 1

    I've worked from home now for about 8 months, it's gone very well, and has only taken a few adjustments. I have kids, but they're in school, and my wife also works part time from home, so with those two things it's gone well. One thing, have a separate place to work, my workspace downstairs has turned into my office, and I ordered an Ikea desk in order to make a standing desk out of it. I bring this up because standing to work has done wonders for my concentration and focus. Work provided me a 27" iMac, I use the built-in camera, VPN, IM, Skype, and lots of SSH, to stay dialed into the dev group fulltime. IM chat rooms help me get answers from a group, or direct IMs to work on specific issues. We do agile dev and also do a bit of pairing, where screensharing allows me to share my screen, or vice versa, to work one on one. It's really worked better than we expected, and it's been very enjoyable - I'm glad I'm getting the opportunity.

  22. code4lib on Ask Slashdot: Tech For Small Library Automation? · · Score: 1

    Get involved with code4lib http://code4lib.org/about and ask on their mailing list. I see tech solutions have already been suggested, Koha, Evergreen - also look at Blacklight http://projectblacklight.org/, but the knowledge in the code4lib group will be invaluable.

  23. Unreal on Lax Security At Russian Rocket Plant · · Score: 1

    this is unreal that, but completely believable considering the lackadaisical ways things are going in Russia these days. I always love seeing sites of people wandering through abandoned places in the old Soviet Union, but this is an operational facility where their (recently, much maligned) space program runs from. Wow, wonder if they'll ever pull out of this rut they've been in.

  25. Chunkhost - it's FREE on Ask Slashdot: Best Inexpensive VPS Provider? · · Score: 1

    This link will get you a free 512M VPS on Chunkhost for a month http://chunkhost.com/r/fak3r (sorry, US only) It matches your requirements, root with SSH is the only way to go. If you don't like it you can cancel it or let it run out; they'll never charge you unless you say you want to keep it after your month is up. I now pay 14$/month for the service, and it's been perfect for what I need. Give them a try, there's nothing to loose, and their service via twitter has been excellent.
