  1. Re:Same here.... on Happy Odd Day! · · Score: 1

    WARNING, Could be Troll. I have several good compaq boxen at work, running NT, and in the hands of a good admin, who takes time to read the books and understands a bit "o" logic, can keep an NT boxen up for a while, only when hardware or something wack happens it goes down. But still, I like linux too, Me as a admin and user, I use what ever does the job well, but by not paying $$$ for licenses, I can get mega boxen instead, same money is given, just don't have to pay much for software. But anyhow, NT can be reliable, if put in the right hands. END TROLL.

  2. Something else.... on Happy Odd Day! · · Score: 1

    to get drunk to and party likes it's 1999. hehe, also today I got to see a odd thing, something that some people call a BSOD? I thought it was rather funny, so we are going to have and odd BSOD party!

  3. Typo? on 4.8G Portable MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    On slashdot it states:
    The kicker is that it's supposed to be able to store about 100 CDs worth of music..

    On pjbox.com it states:
    Storage huge volume of songs squal to approx. 100 pieces (not 100 songs) of normal audio CD.

  4. Oh Joy, back in windows 3.1 land. on Ex-Novell CEO praises FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    Only a few things I like about 3.1, and the hotdog stand look is one of them. I say that slashdot should try to mimic the old 3.1 color styles, make slashdot semi-theemable. Just and some old slashdot green and we have slashdog with relish.

  5. Why don't RedHat or Caldera... on New Commercial Linux Distro Based on Debian · · Score: 1

    Come up with several Distos. Me personally, I think RedHat and Mandrake should merge/buy out, and create two types of a distro. Redhat Linux Server OS and Redhat Linux Workstation OS. Create two teams working on there os, put keep it so that both "distros" can cross talk via rpm or something. But make the server cd jam packed with server tools and all the little and big daemons, then extend something like linuxconf to work perfect with the server. On the workstation side, make it another whole cd(s) full of apps just geared for the workstation. But you would be able to install say apache and linuxconf from the server cd(s) and run apache on your workstation. Thats the way redhat linux should be....In all fairness it's kinda been the same for several versions, 5 through 6....Part Desktop, Part Server. They need to put the contrib into the Offical Distro, and make it work very nice, and have a console based Admin Tool, then redhat/linux will become much more NT/PHB oriented, ppl just need someone to "hold there hand".

    This is purely based on what my 18 NT Sys admins say here at work... It's too hard...where do I click at...DOS?

  6. What does it support? on One Chip For All Your Wireless Needs · · Score: 1

    All I herd was a chip that does a CDMA66?GSM connects by iDEN, to the eDIN website (aka eSUPPER) and has a TDMA33 Disk? And something about running Multiple copies of Access to divide up the code, and send it by the digital netork. All this while divideing your time between the multiple access programs running. Think I have it right.

  7. RPGBoard - A GPL WWWBoard, and it's good! on Open Source or Commercial WWWBoard Software? · · Score: 2

    RPGBoard is THE WWWBoard-style message board script. Actually, comparing it to WWWBoard is a gross understatement. RPGBoard has so many features, I can't think of any more! These include:

    Multiple forum support
    Completely new code (now under the GPL)
    New file format with an auto-archive/compress/delete function and file locking
    A message previewer/editor, complete with a spell checker
    Highly configurable with the web-based RPGBoard Configurator
    Selectable backgrounds
    Configurable message tags, including a "No Text" tag
    Default options and bios for the regulars
    Different header styles, including UBB/WWWThreads, WebBBS, the old traditional WWWBoard, and "collapsed threads" mode
    Ability to collate replies to simulate a non-threaded look (and for easier browsing)
    A message search engine
    Name/password detection via cookies
    Interactive date/time stamps with timezone capability and recent message color coding
    Ability for users (and admins) to delete (or undelete) messages
    Partial messages can be saved (good for those really long posts that you don't want to lose)
    A complete stats utility
    A hidden spoiler message box
    Ability to have replies e-mailed to you
    Ability to ban IP addresses as well as an Ignore List for users to use
    Word filter to block cuss words
    IP address/number lookups with proxy detection
    Browser/OS detection
    Year 2000 compliant (unlike WWWBoard)

    Best of all, it's free (and GPL)! I'm not out to make any profit from this. It's simply my part in helping the Internet community have access to a really good message board script. It's really easy to install, too. Just follow the instructions.
