  1. ...and a good one at that! on PC software so bad, BugNet refuses to post award · · Score: 1

    anything that cleans a windows partition without warning sounds like a pretty nice feature to me.

  2. Works with Wine 990110 on Public Enemy Release full single as mp4 · · Score: 1

    as tested by yesterday's release (990110)...and sounds pretty clear. it has left right volume control, stop, pause, play, windowshading, and an oscilliscope that i don't see. in any case, check it out. not a bad song, either.

  3. I hate WINE... on Win32-OS/2 source to be released · · Score: 1

    i always test out a new compilation by running solitaire for a few minutes, which turns into about an hour, which occaisonally turns into 2. DAMN YOU WINE! =]

  4. Centralized Administration on Apache passes 2 million hosts · · Score: 1

    good point...reduce the troubleshooting aspect. DHCP actually makes sense...just not when you're using it for static allocation.

  5. Apachie [sic] on Apache passes 2 million hosts · · Score: 1

    Apache. =]

  6. Virginia Tech on Apache passes 2 million hosts · · Score: 1

    well that's kinda pointless isn't it? there are two essential points to using DHCP. 1) for security reasons over static (which, incidentally don't apply to a DHCP server assigning static addresses, anyhow) 2) for lightening the bandwidth load of computers remain up, but don't necessarilly need to be connected (which doesn't really apply much as most DHCP clients startup at init). Chances are, if your DHCP servers are linux, they're running the ISC DHCP server, straight out of the box. even if your school assigned random addresses, you could bypass this by hijacking a leased address, in which it won't expire until 2038. one nice thing i can think of with your setup is that sysadmins can grab your NIC anytime you obtain a lease...that in combination with a VLAN ready hub, will guarantee quick and painless lock-outs of code of conduct violators. all in all, in my opinion, DHCP wouldn't be worth the fuss as an administrator if you lease it in a static manner. let me know if you can think of any added benefits over static addressing.

  7. SmtpGreetingMessage on Apache passes 2 million hosts · · Score: 1

    oh my god..aren't we geniuses.

    --sendmail.cf--
    #O SmtpGreetingMessage=I am paranoid

    as for OS detection, queso does a good job of doing that by the way icmp packets are constructed.

  8. Virginia Tech on Apache passes 2 million hosts · · Score: 1

    I'm a student at Virginia Tech who remains somewhat liberal towards resnet operations. all students are given a static IP and hostname which corresponds to their personal id. i think this is the way it ought to be, but there have been talks about imposing DHCP (which doesn't make too much sense, sysadmin wise).

  9. what about students? on Apache passes 2 million hosts · · Score: 1

    i'm almost completely positive that i was not included in this survey...at least according to logs. in any case, what about the countless thousands of students running resnet webpages and such? this past semester doing a few subnet sweeps i noticed that a majority of students running webservers were running apache...even about 50% of windows users running webservers. i'm sure that would increase the stats a few points.

  10. International Ordering? on Petition against Canadian CD-R Tax · · Score: 1

    Can't you just order from the US? Whenever I purchase any CD-R's it's always through bulk ordering. The price markups of CD-R's are already ridiculous, even in the US.

  11. Rvplayer broken? on Linux 2.2.0pre6 Released · · Score: 1

    has anybody tried real player with any success on the new 2.2.0 pr kernels? i keep getting:

    ***audio: write error

    messages...local or streamed.

  12. MS-ScanToast Warning! on MS unveils Universal Plug and Play @ CES · · Score: 1

    Microsoft ScanToast has discovered lost crumbs on your toast!


    This could be a result of your Microsoft Toaster being improperally shutdown.

  13. yet ANOTHER bug... on Window Manager Bits · · Score: 1

    i've noticed that since upgrading to WM 0.50.0, my cursor occasionally behaves sporadically. ie - i'll have netscape open and be cruising around slashdot when suddenly my cursor shoots up to the upper righthand corner of the screen and may or may not open a menuset or windowlist. has anyone else experienced this behavior?

  14. lilo error message on Linux 2.2.0pre5 · · Score: 1

    i get an error message because lilo doesn't recognize the "video=" option. does anybody know how to correct this? i'm using lilo version 21

  15. vga consoles on Linux 2.2.0pre5 · · Score: 1

    is it just me, or are vga consoles annoying? i come from an ascii art background so i might be biased to the oldskewl, but...i'm just wondering.

  16. D.A.R.E. to keep your kids off drugs. on Linux 2.2.0pre5 · · Score: 1

    you smoke too much crack. sure, in a MS world where your forced to use the Man's inflated disfunctional kernel, precompiled updates would be fine. but in a world where you can actually fine tune your computer's abilities, it simply isn't. download the tar and take a bite out of crime.

  17. or better yet... on Linux 2.2.0pre5 · · Score: 1

    don't bother visiting slashdot anymore.

  18. start redirecting porn domains! on Batch o Quickees · · Score: 1

  19. Welcome! on Wine project moves forward! · · Score: 1

    wine c:\\windows\\welcome.exe makes for some interesting screenshots. =]

  20. oh god on Best Movie and TV Show of 1998 · · Score: 1

    babylon 5 is one of the worst tv shows i have ever seen. not only are the special affects so blatantly fake, the acting is as well. at least that 70's show has a decent comedic performance.
