SEMiSLUG Notes
10 July 2002
Question & Answer Sessions
- Will Mozilla be in AOL 8.0?
- No idea. To many internal political issues involved.
- Mozilla mail taking so damn long on Win98-SE dial-up ... What's up?
- File a bug report with the Mozilla project ... they want to know
about this.
- Does Linux have a "stitch" to go with lilo?
- Yes. It builds pararamas from individual pictures
- gcc 3.2?
- Huh? What?
- Shadow IDS -- heard of it?
- No info in the room.
- Netapp 7x0 comments?
- Nope.
- When will www.semislug.mi.org get updated?
- Possibly tonight.
- Nokia 1971?
- Nope.
- Jobs?
- SCS is looking. Get him while you can.
- The usual questions from/for Troy?
- Talk to Troy.
- unix.org ... what the hell?
- Xopen sued for trademark infringement ... and won in Europe.
- ACLU suit ... what's up?
- Claims that cable company's control of content is restraint of
speach.
- Who has a camera?
- No one here.
- What about warchalking?
- No one's admiting to anything.
- What's up with Internet 2?
- Talk to "Joe at University of Oregon." Or talk to SCS and/or Ed
at the bar. (Talk to Danno.)
- SAP + Exchange + FR = Troy needing help. Can you help?
- Doesn't sound like it.
- Where can I get a gigE firewall?
- Netscreen. Nokia.
- Two Win98 boxes connected by a crossover cable act stupidly ... got any
ideas?
- Try swapping cables to see if it's a cable problem. It could be a
driver issue. One may need to be a "master browser."
Put a hub in the mix, ping, and what the lights.
- Comcast cable modem and ... uh ... what's the question?
- Reset the modem by powering it down cold -- 20 minutes -- then plug
it back in. I'll forget the old MAC address and learn the new one
from the switch.
- What's with this Walmart and Lindows pairing?
- They're only for sale on-line and shipping in only $15.
- What's the word on Microsoft's vector patent? (And how does it affect
SGI?)
- Apparently, MS picked up a bunch of patents from SGI and is trying
to beat the OpenGL folks over the head with them.
- How's Worldcom, Steve?
- "I hope they last at least eight weeks."
