  1. Re:Yes on BBC Lowers HDTV Bitrate; Users Notice · · Score: 1

    You do know that H.264 is also known as MPEG4? And at the same bitrate, H.264 does produce better pictures than MPEG2.

  2. Re:Darn... no Mac Mini update on Apple Intros 17" Unibody MBP, DRM-Free iTunes · · Score: 1

    Actually, the older versions run just fine in Wine!

  3. Why not... on Teens Prosecuted For Racy Photos · · Score: 1

    ...send a polite email to wolfj@flcourts.org? That ruling is just ridiculous. Really, who didn't take pictures when discovering sexuality? I know, I did. Sure, those weren't digital cameras, and the risk of spreading the pictures was a lot lower. But even if these pictures were leaked - shouldn't those that get in posession of the pictures be punished?

  4. Re:Patenter VS Inventor, it is a question of fame on Inventing the Telephone, Independently · · Score: 1

    Are you sure, it wasn't Philipp Reis from Germany? He presented his telephone in Oct. 1861...

  5. Re:The problem with current CMS systems on Open Source Content Management Discussion? · · Score: 1

    Have a look at Bitflux CMS. It has all the features you listed.

  6. Re:Hardly Intel... on Intel Releases Linux Driver For Centrino WLAN · · Score: 1

    Contact Info

    If you have any questions, concerns, etc. please email James Ketrenos.


    That's what it says on the "Validation" page. James Ketrenos apparently works at Intel, so I guess, Intel *does* help.

  7. Re:Quite frankly... on BudNet Tracks Your Suds · · Score: 1

    My question is simply why don't you hear complaining about the data banks have access to, yet you hear complaints about something like RFID, which is unlikely to ever be used outside of supply chain and inventory management functions
    Are you sure? Metro embedded RFID tags in their Payback cards in Germany. Just something for you to think about ;-)

  8. Re:Suggestions for hardware? on SmoothWall 2.0 Linux-Based Firewall Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Have a look at the Via Epia boards. The slower processors don't need a fan. Also, some boards don't need a power supply, but use a small plug to get their power - laptop like.
    You could use a usb stick as your hard drive.

  9. Re:Does this work for non native speakers? on Can You Raed Tihs? · · Score: 1

    English is not my native tongue (German), but I, for one, didn't have any problems reading it... the only problem was "important" which is spelled wrong in the text :))

  10. Re:There is no way to win! on SCO Attorney Declares GPL Invalid · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure it isn't available under the BSD license. You have to compile a kernel supporting ext2 yourself, and it's in a separate subfolder - "gnu", i think.

  11. Re:XML transformation pipeline on PHP 5 Beta 1 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Something like that already exists...it's called popoon and part of the bitflux cms project.

  12. Re:Big Iron on Isolated Apache Virtual Hosts? · · Score: 1

    Why not just get an i386 box and use FreeBSD-jails?
    More here.
    Bye, Jonas

  13. so what? on Using sysctl the Command and the Subroutine · · Score: 2


    The man pages are a hell of a lot better than that article... much more informative. They, too, have code samples.
    That looks more like a "pheew...it was about time for another bsd-article" story.

  14. Re:I agree... on Has Linux Development Become Too Political? · · Score: 1

    Why is it bad? ReiserFS is *much* more mature than ext3. When I tested it a year or so ago, I had no problems at all. When I tested ext3 I had some...actually, it didn't even compile. So, IMHO ReiserFS should be included. It's a really great FS, at least a whole lot better than ext3

  15. Re:bsd didn't capture new users' interest on Why is BSD Not As Popular As Linux? · · Score: 1

    I wonder, if you wanted to start a flame war... ;) the linux community is more helpful to newbies, where the BSD community is more guru focused - RTFM!
    I really don't think so. At least in German Linux-Newsgroups there are lots of people who only answer 'RTFM man foobar(1)'. I rarely got good and helpful answers when I needed them.
    When I had a problem with FreeBSD and ISDN I did get very helpful answers, no one referred to man pages or told me to RTFM. To me, it appears as if the *BSD community is more helpful. timing - linux timing was right for a unix renaissance
    hmm....but the BSDs were already there. Why didn't people use *BSD? That would make more sense to me - don't take the trailing edge stuff, but the proven technology if you need a flavour of unix. just my 0.02 Euro...

  16. PGP on How do you Remember Your Passwords? · · Score: 1

    It might be an idea to create a text file with your accounts and the corresponding passwords and then encrypt everything with PGP. Thus you only need to remember one password.
    The problem is that if you forget this password your other passwords are lost too...
