Coffee or tea are excellent. Both are great hot, room temp, or cold, so long as they are good quality and unsweetened. It's also not hard to find large bottles of good quality tea (Trader Joes is good for this) which you can swig off of like a 40. Personally, I'll drink them from a paper bag, just to make coworkers think. And yes, some will actually ask if it's beer.
Just FYI, the site accepted any username and password combination I tried. And while the URL was the clear giveaway for me (and the HTML is also formatted, whereas the eBay HTML emails usually aren't) most users just don't get that. I typically run into coworkers and parents who just think of the address bar as "that stuff up there". When it becomes complex, they think of it as simply some computer stuff that they don't understand and thusly should ignore.
It's an unfortunate reality, and it plays right into phisher's hands.
This weekend I got a very, very impressive eBay phishing message which appeared to ask if I accepted PayPal. I was so impressed by the continuity of the fake site that I took some screenshots of it:

I have done this using a Venus-brand 4-drive enclosure, some surplus Seagate FC drives from eBay, a custom-made backplane, a Mylex eXtremeRAID 3000 controller, and a 30m HSSDC DB9 controller from eBay.
I located the array in the basement, and the computer was in my office. I had wonderful performance and no disk noise, which was quite nice...
Also, while I sold off the rest of the kit, I've got the HSSDC DB9 cables left over. While they tend to go for quite a bit new (they are custom AMP cables) I'd be apt to sell them for cheap if another Slashdotter wants to do the same thing.
This reminds me of something I see almost constantly. See, I have pictures of my PowerMac G5 being unpacked after I first received it. It was one of the first ones shipped, and friends of mine wanted to see the photos, so I took them and upload them. Fast forward two years to now, and I am constantly seeing referrers in my logs from (clearly fraudulent) eBay auctions selling PowerMac G5's using my photos. Typically by the time I see the new referrer the auction has been taken down, but it really makes me wonder what someone is pulling. The only thing I can imagine is your aforementioned stolen account type scam. But, I really don't know for sure...
Since I'm not such a big fan of the big-name sodas anyway, I've taken to drinking Mexican sodas lately. They are sweetened with sugar, aren't as sweet as domestic sodas, and tend to come in really nice flavors. For example, two of my favorites are Sidral Mundet (apple) and Senorial Sangria. Or there is always the aforementioned Kosher Coke option, which can be had around here every once in a while.
It's too bad that the new product will probably contain high fructose corn syrup, lending the typically thick, crappy mouthfeel and taste of all American sodas to the new product.
I really wish big American soda manufacturers would use sugar again. Sugar-based sodas taste so much better.
That said, I still think it's damn useful.:) I just pulled down the three floppies for the replacement firewall at my house. I was waiting until today to get it set up.
Just FYI, that's not an ISO of the whole OS. That CD is a cd image of the boot floppies, but not the whole OS. This can then be used for an FTP (or NFS or HTTP or whatever) install.
The OpenBSD folks copyright the layout of the CD they make so that it can't (legally) be freely made available and must be purchased. This doesn't prevent someone from building their own CD set and making it available, though.
That's what surprised me. A friend with the iScroll2 driver installed for his touchpad wasn't able to scroll. Also, if you note, the scroll bar isn't shown.
Unfortunately (as you know) there are no other ACID2 compliant browsers to test against.:\
By visiting the ACID2 test and then scrolling downward in Safari using my Apple Mighty Mouse I'm able to break the ACID2 test rendering. Here is a screenshot of it. The face breaks and the better part of it scrolls across the page. I don't think this is the expected behavior, but I guess I may be wrong?
Remember, though, no one is making you upgrade. Your current iPod and AirClick work fine (I'm assuming) and no one has broken anything of yours. This is like complaining that your new 48v car makes your old head unit obselete. You don't *have* to buy a new one...

I don't know if you're interested or not, but I ended up acquiring four frames of IBM core memory which I took to framing and hanging above my couch. Yes, I know the color is off in that photo, but each frame is mounted over a gloss white piece of paper, which is then set on tan foamcore.
I just installed it, and it seems pretty slick thus far. I think they still have a few things to add beyond search, namely:
- Server-side sorting so that all messages don't need to be downloaded in order to view, say, the 15 newest. - Special folder support, such as Junk, Sent, Trash, etc. Currently send mail just goes off into the ether.
Other than that, I'm pretty impressed. I personally currently use Squirrelmail for my webmail needs, but it feels a bit clunky. If they can meet Squirrelmail's features (at a minimum) I can see this being used all over the place. I find the use of a DB for things like user/session/whatever management to be a bit odd, but at least actual files don't have to be used then.
I think this whole article must be a troll. If not, the desire to faze [sic] out the current setup is misguided. The setup mentioned above, if properly administered, will work just fine as it is.
One's job as an administrator is not to go with what is 'cool', but what works and keeps the buisness running. Throwing out the existing config in order to "save money" is wrongheaded. The first thing to do would be a total cost study to see if money will be saved. Making such a change to "see how the other half lives" is the sort of thing that is done in your lab, on a test network.
Avoiding viruses, while not as easy, can generally be done via proactive patching and ensuring that antivirus software remains updated via some sort of top-down policy which enforces updating.
So, yes, I'll fall back on my earlier statement that this is either a troll or horribly misguided.
I was going to do that, but I 1) didn't want to be too offensive, especially seeing how many people who are likely to use Xanga/MySpace/whatever are probably quite young, and 2) am afraid of the new FCC legislation regarding the distribution of 'porn'. I don't want to get fined / end up in jail.
Recently I upgraded my personal photo gallery to a new version of software, eliminating the need for a publicly accessible directory full of images. Well, since my site has been around for a few years, I've collected a goodly number of people at sites like LiveJournal, Xanga, MySpace, and various other sites who have taken to linking some of my full res photos (2MB-5MB each) as the background for their sites.
Most of these sites are especially crappy, and as such, the bandwidth used wasn't much, so for the time being I didn't do anything about it.
Well, with the removal of the albums directory, I decided to redirect all requests for images in it to this annoyingly animated strobing GIF. This has the wonderful affect of making many, many crappy sites blink horribly. Like this and this.
Actually, Southeast Michigan does a pretty good job avoiding most of these. Yes, there are tornados, but they are few and far between and generally impact a very small area.
It gets plenty warm here in the summer, but lots of people regularly go without A/C and have no problems. It also gets fairly cold, but there's almost never a horrid blizzard. Things might be bad until noon one day, but that's about it.
Actually, you do have to restart the servers. It's just possible to do it without completely shutting down Apache.
Your example there uses your server's Apache init script with a command called reload, but one would actually send 'graceful' to Apache, which restarts all of the servers one at a time after they are done processing the current requests. So they do restart, just in a 'graceful' manner.
For example, on Apache 2.0 one would sent 'httpd -k graceful' to do it.

I'm really surprised I haven't seen anyone calling it the Wi^2 yet, just to be different.
Then they'd be infringing on my other domain.

Also, I should mention Dry Creek Photo who has color profiles available for the Noritsu printers at almost every Costco location in the country.
