  1. Re:Am I the only one on Fedora 16 Will Number UIDs From 1000 · · Score: 1

    Better:

    find / -uid 501 -exec chown 1001 {} \;
    find / -gid 501 -exec chgrp 1001 {} \;

    Or even better would be a short Perl script with a hash mapping old UIDs to new UIDs, and then you only touch each file once, regardless of the number of user accounts on the system.

  2. Re:RHEL4 support anyone on Firefox 2.0 Update To Remove Phishing Detection · · Score: 1

    So just install Firefox 3 from RHN ('up2date firefox'). firefox-3.0.4-1.el4 is the current version of the package for RHEL 4.

    May be no one told you, this is slashdot not AOL's customer service forum!

    *whoosh*

  6. Re:Except for one feature on The Boot Loader Showdown · · Score: 3, Informative

    How about this?

    grub> savedefault --default=1 --once

    Use it in a script, type it by hand, put it in grub.conf, etc. Works for me.

  7. Happy Hacking blank keyboards on Blank Keyboard · · Score: 1

    PFU Systems (the Happy Hacking people) also have blank keyboards in white and gray. These are the true geek keyboards, as they have the right keys (Ctrl, Esc) in the right places.

  8. On Linux, BTW on Canadian Public Radio Streaming Ogg Vorbis · · Score: 1
  9. Re:Subscription model or source code model? on Sun Plans Solaris Subscription Model · · Score: 1

    The Software Companion CDs distributed with Solaris 8 and 9 (and available for download here and here), are not SunFreeware's builds (thankfully). They're built by Sun.

  10. Re:user passwords? on The Official Samba 3 HOWTO and Reference Guide · · Score: 2, Informative

    pwdump does this:

  11. Mirror on 17" Monitor Case Modding -- The "iMike" · · Score: 3, Informative
  12. Stylin'! on 60G Nomad Zen vs. The iPod · · Score: 1

    60 GB capaciy and cool and all, but what really makes it sweet is that it's got the classic styling of a 1997 Western Digital hard drive. Beauty.

  13. System(s) Administrator? on A Title To Replace "Systems Administrator"? · · Score: 1

    You need to take my Grammar Quiz.

  14. More articles on RIAA Seeks Estimated $97.8 Billion From MTU Student · · Score: 1

    Here are a couple more articles about this:

    The part of this that I find most disturbing is that the RIAA didn't even bother contacting the university to take action (i.e. taking disciplinary action, turning off his network port) before they filed the lawsuit. In several previous cases, MTU has cooperated with the RIAA to limit "piracy".

  15. Re:Image Errors on Adobe Says PCs Are Preferred · · Score: 1

    No, that's the correct file size. Windows 2000, by the way. And the darn thing actually printed, using LPRng via Samba. I was impressed.

  16. Re:That's MANDRAKE Linux 9.0 on First Mandrake 9.1 Review Out · · Score: 1

    You're new to the sarcasm thing, right?

  17. Re:Image Errors on Adobe Says PCs Are Preferred · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oh, sure, like we expect Adobe to care about correct bar graphs. Like this, for example (actual screen shot).

  18. Re:Confusion on Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31 · · Score: 1

    The full quote, from here:

    Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and -
    Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
    Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
    Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
    Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
    Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
    Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
    Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
    Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
    Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
    Nigel Tufnel: [Pause] These go to eleven.

  19. Dial-up on Geek Roadtrips Through the Heartland · · Score: 1

    We used dial-up. It was slow and painful, but it worked. Here's our story.

  20. Re:Parallel Interface? on Serial SCSI Standard Coming Soon · · Score: 3, Informative

    You're mistaken. It's Small Computer System Interface. See dictionary.com

  21. Re:Fortran on Use of Math Languages and Packages in Research? · · Score: 1

    I know you were just picking nits, but it has actually been "Fortran" since Fortran 90. Previous versions, like 77, are "FORTRAN".

    Yes, but the comedy!

    Um, I don't think you mean RAID 2. Maybe RAID 1?

  24. Re:So many! on Mandrake Releases 9.1b1, New Packaging Model · · Score: 0, Troll

    Next time, it'd be nice if the spelling errors were fixed before the article is posted. Oh, wait, this is Slashdot.

  25. So many! on Mandrake Releases 9.1b1, New Packaging Model · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wow, so many groups distrobuting Linux operating systems these days!
