  4. Not offtopic on Windows 99 Beer and Cigarettes · · Score: 1
    This isn't offtopic. It has to do with a different story that was here on Slashdot, and is definitely interesting.

  5. Microsoft Version Numbers on Software Version Numbering After 2000? · · Score: 1
    You need to keep in mind that, the version number of Windows 98 is not actually 98. It's 4.50 I believe. The version number of Windows 95 was 4.0.

    I think numbering your versions by year is awkward. You end up having Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 98 Second Edition OEM, etc.

  6. Selena Sol's scripts at Extropia.com on Xdaliclock Fails Y2k (But Everything Else Seems Fine) · · Score: 1
    I just noticed that the error affected my Guestbook too :-)

    I quickly modified the perl code to fix the problem, but then I noticed that a fix was already posted on the site. Silly me.

  7. Moderate this fucker down. on Why is BSD Not As Popular As Linux? · · Score: 1
    Excuse me, but Bruce Perens is far from stupid. In fact, I'd fathom to guess that he's a genius.

    And the technocrat.net thing is his signature, you nitwit.

  8. Re:Public Information, F.O.I.A, and accessibility. on The USPS-Selling Zip Codes or Public Information? · · Score: 1
    AFAIK post office services are *NOT* free. Taxpayer money goes to government institutions.

  9. Zeus/SSL on Apache Now Runs On Over 5 Million Sites · · Score: 2
    Zeus is a rather nice server. It has a very easy web-based administration interface, that remains pretty powerful (I like it better than Roxen's admin interface. I seem to have to click continuosly in Roxen to set a simple option). Zeus isn't cheap though.

  10. X-FileGet, Ra2Wav under Linux... on RealNetworks Sues Streambox.com · · Score: 1
    I believe you can use X-FileGet under Wine, though I'm not sure..

    I know that Ra2Wav works fine under Wine though, as long as you install RealPlayer G2 first. Try this directory containing XFileGet, RA2wav, etc.

  12. Re:Super Cool. on FreeBSD 3.4 released · · Score: 1
    This isn't a flame. But, honestly bugg, even a core FreeBSD developer would be unable to make a statement of that sort with confidence. FreeBSD still has a way to go before its SMP is solid.

    I like FreeBSD a lot, don't get me wrong, but some of the FreeBSD Bigots (especially in #freeBSD) turn off would-be users.

  13. Can't get ISO on FreeBSD 3.4 released · · Score: 1

    Wonder when the ISO will be downloadable. Probably as soon as it's mirrored to the other sites...

  15. Re:The letter. on VA Reprices Again · · Score: 1

    **Damn me**! From now on I'll read Slashdot a lot more carefully :-). No, I've been too busy in the past week.

  16. Re:Did ANYONE get in at the $30 on E-Trade? on VA Linux Systems Opens at $300 · · Score: 1

    Using Schwab we had set limit of $50, for several thousand dollars worth.. We did not get in. The price was up to $290 when it started trading..

  17. The letter. on VA Reprices Again · · Score: 1

    I got the Red Hat letter a while ago, but VA Linux didn't send me their letter. Oh well, I guess contributing to the Linux Documentation Project, and writing some utilities and making them available on MetaLab is unimportant. Hmph.

  18. Novell VS. Free Software on Novell License Draft 1.0 Submitted for Review · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Novell part of the lawsuit against the BSD folks a decade ago? I think Novell had some vested interest in AT&T Unix.

    If so, that doesn't show very well for Novell's track record.

    Why does everyone use the term Open Source now? May Free Software live on.

  19. It's Spyglass on A Linux 'Browser War' in the Making? · · Score: 1


    Red Baron was based on the Spyglass Mosaic code (same code IE 3.0 was based on).

    RedHat doesn't own the source for it.

  20. Uhh on Legal Actions Against Linux-DVD authors · · Score: 1

    Because maybe your machine is too slow to play DVD in realtime, and you want to write it to the HDD and convert it to a different format and play it? Duh.

  21. They did that to me too. And I lost $$$ because of on FTC Regulates Kids' Privacy Online · · Score: 1

    They removed my page too, because I was out of the country at the time that I got the e-mail, and did not think to fax overseas... I lost MANY geopoints, hundreds of dollars worth.

  22. One Word: MetroX on Xig Ad Campaign Slamming Xfree? · · Score: 1

    Metrolink is a much better company. They were one of the first commercial companies releasing Linux software (such as Motif ports), and they regularly contribute to XFree86 and other free software causes. Plus they don't charge astronomical prices for their X server.

  23. GTK support? on Borland Delphi and CBuilder for Linux. · · Score: 1

    Delphi with GTK widgets would kick ass. Plus it's theme-able :-).
