  1. my guess on Phish Offers Archive Concert in MP3 · · Score: 1

    is that this actual recording should not be redistributed (as it's a soundboard, they've not allowed board recordings since 94 or so), but I'm sure you can still shoot around audience recordings of this show to your hearts desire. Do we have evidence otherwise?

    cheers,
    -o

  2. Re:Let me place your foot in your mouth on Where's All The Outrage About The IPv6 Privacy? · · Score: 1

    Well, now I don't run Linux all the time anymore, but I'm not sure it >can't be compiled into the kernel. MAC addressing is an integral part of ethernet, so at some level your machine knows the hardware addresses of all the machines on the local network that it's talked to recently. Try pinging yourself and then do an arp.

    But let me just say I don't know for certain, but it really seems to me that you don't know that you don't know. Got that?

    why can't we all just get along, d00d?

    cheers,

  3. Re:Killing alpha on Ixnay WinNT on Alpha · · Score: 1

    I think that chip you're talking about is the 21164PC chip, in 164sx boards. It runs any OS you like (DU, Linux, NT, FreeBSD, maybe OpenBSD, probably NetBSD), but I think they were aiming it at the NT market. It has some MMX/Altivec like instructions on the chip, which, as far as I can tell, has never been given software support..

    Runs Linux like a champ, although I'm going to DU pretty soon.

    cheers,

  4. I wouldn't think so.. on Ixnay WinNT on Alpha · · Score: 1

    So Compaq/Digital sells more Alphas running NT than Tru64? Compaq doesn't get a damn thing from OS sales on NT/Alpha, whereas DU licenses are sometimes more than the boxes themselves. There's no way they're giving that up.

    cheers,

  5. This is great for BeOS! on Will PPC Become the Preferred Linux Platform? · · Score: 1

    Since Be and Apple have not been getting along so well recently, this gives Be an Apple-free platform to run on. Anyone know if they're on it?
    -o

  6. Re:64-bit NOW! on Will PPC Become the Preferred Linux Platform? · · Score: 1

    So who remembers the 601, 604, 620 progression that was the plan when PPC's were introduced? The 620 was supposed to be 64-bit, does anyone know if a 64-bit PPC chip is in the works? -o

  7. Exchange 5.5SP1 fixes this on Ask Slashdot: Building a Large Email Service · · Score: 1

    I believe.. But that's still no excuse for the substandard spam-handling of Exchange versions prior to 5.5SP1, you could control which IPs clients can connect from (tcp-wrappers, basically), but that's a layer 3 solution (and a bad one, at that) to a layer 4 problem.

    an MCSE who hasn't used MS products in 15+ months..

  8. spare us on Instant Messaging in Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Who ever said you have to use this? The advantage of Mozilla being quite modular allows us to choose whether or not we'd like to use this. If it's done well, I may use it myself. I do like the idea of having one application which is the interface for all of my interactive network communication. But don't go around likening the foremost open-sourse browser projects to IE, that's silly.

  9. When was that? on Students Sue over Difficult Class · · Score: 1

    My MCSE was pretty easy, but it was for 3.51, didn't have any of those dynamic versions I've been hearing about recently, but I still think people would have a hard time coming in and breezing though the tests. No matter what you know, chances are you don't know how MS has redefined the terms, something I hate, but they do it.. Like on the IP test, redefining router to be gateway, and other such nonsense.

    anyway,
    -o

  10. Amen, brother! on SGI Open Sources GLX · · Score: 1

    This rocks. This puts Mesa in a different position, though, that's for sure.
    -o

  11. differences on XP1000 Workstation · · Score: 1

    of course, a DU license is about $2k (I believe) so that's part of the difference, but there's also the gotcha that NT only runs at 32-bit on these guys..

    cheers,
    -o

  12. there is no privacy - mac addresses on Sun's Scott McNealy's advice: "get over" privacy · · Score: 1

    ethernet addresses are basically the same.

    Capiche?
