  1. Essential Software for Thumbdrives?

    · posted by ryuzaki0 · from the stuff-you-can-take-with-you dept. · 65 comments
    MaufTarkie asks: "My manager just handed me a 256 megabyte thumbdrive. I already know about UnixKit for Windows and the WEP Key Generator Utility for Wi-Fi Networks, but I'm interesting in hearing what other people are putting on their drives. My drive will potentially touch a range of systems (Windows, Unix, and MacOS X), so any software is fair game. What are some essential tools I can (should) put on this?"

  2. Everything About Spam And More

    konsept writes: "a quick overview of the problem of unwanted, unsolicited e-mail, a growing threat to the usefulness of the Internet. In most cases this will appear as unwanted commercial e-mail - junk e-mail advertising. In a few cases, users of the Net are unfortunate enough to receive unsolicited religious, racial or sexual messages, a somewhat more serious matter." Somewhat of an entry level piece, but a lot of great advice and coverage of the major relevant legislation on the subject.

    konsept writes "According to this article, the first email message was sent in 1971 by an engineer named Ray Tomlinson. Prior to this, you could only send messages to users on a single machine." Nice little nostalgia piece. I can't imagine a world without email, I've been using it for half my life... and I don't really have much of recollection of my days before email. Coincidence?

  4. Free/Non-Profit Hosting Providers?

    Ask · Internet · · posted by Cliff · from the how-many-of-you-are-out-there? dept. · 8 comments
    Caspian asks: "I run a non-profit Web/shell/e-mail/MU* hosting service called The Web Union, or TWU for short. I've run this service for two years now, and it's been non-profit for quite a large percentage of that time. We all know the occasional hacker/geek who'll give a few friends accounts on her/his machine, but I'm wondering how many people are doing what I'm doing, and actually attempting to run a full-scale, full-service, "professional"-quality hosting provider for The Masses on a non-profit basis?"
