My cable company gave me a name and a static IP. I've used it as a gateway to a subnet and a mail server because it's visible inside and out. It worked fine and my mail all sent and recieved OK. Glad I did'nt chuck the 486 out.
Now I'm told that it's not such a good idea to run services on a gateway if you want to firewall your local net. What you are supposed to do is forward port 25 to a machine inside the local subnet. I've done this but it looks like I need to make the internal server pretend to be the gateway. Other mail servers have not liked seeing a 192.168.1.X IP and a non extant name, mail_box.
packets is packets. "I love lucy" eats more bandwith than my mail server. In any case, the cable companies are defending their monopoly franchises by citing the "massive changes" to infrastructure they have already made.
it's kinda like win2k, based on NT Technology, (New Technology Technology), or it's the New NT (New New Technology) that's to blame for the failure of the dot.net (yot.yet.not.net) Nyet? They forgot a line!
Well, why not. A little 486 and a small pipe are all the average user is likely to need. Debian's Exim configuration could not be easier, and it works great. Who needs those big giant single points of failure? Isn't that the whole point of the net?
Oh, sorry I forgot. Some people just can't take the competition.
Is it true that I can get my FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp? Wow! That's just what I've always wanted, FREE software.
Remember that a cable modem has an upstream bandwidth that is only a fraction of
the downstream bandwidth. If my neighbors start serving up streaming video content
from their home systems and filling this relatively narrow pipe, I will definitely notice the
effect and I won't be very happy.
You have run into two ways, both artificial, that some companies have thought to keep you from being a content provider. The first is your cable box which has a limited upload speed. The second is that companies like Real Audio tag their packets as hightest priority, so it shoves other content asside.
thank you, bacchusrx, for a well thought out and well put thread.
It's sad to see so many people believe that publication has to be expensive. As you point out , it could not be further from the truth technicaly. Someone downloading flash trash and comercially produced video consumes far more bandwith than someone serving static web pages. Still, when I tell people at work that I want to host so much as my own email, they look at me like I have a hole in my head and want to provide Hotmail. What's driving this kind of nonsense? Where are all of these arogant trolls with their "Enterprise missions" coming from?
Keep up the good fight. The web must not end up like broadcast media.
So, you think the current incompetents who give out patents for one click shopping and browser based software upgrades are competent programers? Do you think they will be able to tell the difference between a flow chart and obfuscated C? What language will they demand code in? Are you ready, willing and able to be the grand pooh-bah of certified source code? Can you imagine the reams of code that some people would submit to block others out of one field or another so that they can extort money from the public?
Your post shows the absurdity of software patents to begin with. They are either a buisness plan or a simple numerical algorithm. Alternate methods to the same ends should always be allowed and encouraged by patents. Alternate methods always exist in software. Software patents are always absurd.
It's more likely that his network has been back orificed long ago by someone's email cartoon or toy exe, a screen saver, pointer program or other piece of shiny frill. "Try to hit the gopher, while I root you out." The windows world has serious problems, and it is irresponsible to use that kind of software.
There are plenty of companies mirred in MS legacy stuff that are using this as a way out of printer dependency. Immagine a real virus overwriting corporate document databases. Millions of man hours could be wasted in minutes, even with a good backup policy.
Acrobat lets people embed different file types within a PDF, including everything from
the VBScript programs--used in the LoveLetter virus--to an actual executable program,
Gullotto said.
Peachy is named after a small game in a PDF file that involves finding peaches,
Gullotto said. According to a person called Zulu, who said he wrote Peachy, showing
the solution to the game runs a VBScript file.
Yes, this is another VBS exploit, and java does not desrve your FUD. New features have their place, VB and VBS don't.
but platform independence and interoperability are what MS is trying to kill here. SAMBA talked to their computers better than their own junk. MS wants it and java dead. They don't care how much it will cost, and that's why no one should use MS.
I'm waiting for Mr. Fly to get the right answer, go away AC. You know they care that all sorts of users are going to get a pop up from their browser that directs them to get the MS JVM from the MS inter^H^H^H^H Network. As that poor user is forced to sit through an incredibly long download (oh, I wonder why) they will think java just sucks. Soon MS will break any JVM as they did defragment and backup tools. This will cause the whole industry great harm as they have to figure a way around this latest intentional waste.
Mr fly will soon see that, so be quiet and let him think.
...there is no functional difference between getting stoned and getting drunk (except that in my limited, anecdotal experience, drunks are more likely to get mean, violent, and belligerent)
I have yet to go to a concert and get drunk against my will, and this is the only thing I know of that weed is good for. Don't think that the average red-necked convict about to bludgen the nearest queer is not under the influence of it as well as other drugs. It's an inferior natural fiber, weaker and quicker to rot. You have failed to convince me there is a ground swell of doctors that think anything of it.
Would we care if they did anything to stop other JVM's running on Windows? You betcha. Our CTO would hop in a plane up to Redmond pronto and have a word with Billy Boy, as has happened in the past.
Is your CTO worried that many users will not bother to download another JVM? They might be scared to download software from the scary internet from something that might not be a "trusted source". He might ask old Billy if he intends to allow vendors to install useful JVMs, and if he intends to break them in the near future. No he won't and yes he does, oh my!
Don't bother to buy plane tickets. Billy just told the Federal Government to blow, I doubt he will tell your CTO anything less.
I guess the answer for which you're looking here is a really big "yes?" Duh, lots of companies use Java, just not the outdated and unsupported Microsoft Java tools.
\n Ahh, thank you Mr. Fly. Now, do you think those companies are happy with the MS decision to drop Java support from MSIE rather than include sofware from Sun, much as they include Adobe fonts?
Admin knows $. Tell them how much it's going to cost them to buy and impliment the new MS junk to work their broken MS desktops. Then remind them that breaking things is a pattern with MS. Then tell them how much it would cost to fix their broken desktops. Admin is going to have eat costs no matter what. You might be able to prommise the lower cost more stable solution.
The article talks about patents, and how if Microsoft were to integrate some form of
patented technology into their authentication system it may require Samba to license it.
So do you consider the SAMBA folks being under a MS liscence trivial, Sheldon, my favorite troll? As if that liscence would not be under MS terms and whims. We all know how reasonable MS is with its liscencing, don't we?
The worst is the best. It's contrary to popular FUD about needing comercial interests for comitments and software stability. Instead, it shows that some companies inflict massive intentional waste on all of us. An intollerable slavery is preferable to a tollerable one.
The worst: MS uses some crummy patent and gets DMCA import restrictions on all future SAMBA so that it could not be legaly used by any US company or any other DMCA slave state companies.
Enough BS like this from MS will make people think if Word documents are worth the price paid.
I've only built three Soyos but all three work just fine. I got all three from Tiger Direct, cheap enough. Two k6-2s and one Athalon. Red Hat 6.2, 7.1 and Debian 2.2 (Potato) have all worked just fine on them. I have had trouble with Windows 98 on the k6-2s, but I've never seen a Windows box that did not have problems or one sort or another. The cheap and easy solution is to ditch Windows. Did Soyo make a couple of winners here, or is my experience atypical?
I've also had good luck with two MediaGX boards, wow! Like the k6-2s, low power consumption and low cost. Stick em in an old AT case with a 125 watt power supply and roll on. They even ran Win 95 until the registries blew up. One is now a fine internal FTP server (red hat), the other a second gateway (Debian) for the cable modem.
Yes, I have too many PCs. That's what happens when you don't have to throw them out because they are "obsolete", unstable or broken and you don't want to sell them. Next money is for memory.
A quit fan is worth it's $5 weight in nerve endings. Ohhh, ball bearings, nice. There indeed , I've seen a quality difference.
It would be nice if you would educate yourself on the full range of opinions available on a topic before shooting your mouth off.
Hmmm, can't read that article without giving up 10 bucks or going to a library, so I'll just have to fall back on never having heard such things from any doctor. It's just not that important to me. Neither my grandfather, my uncle, my father nor my cousins, nor any of their friends nor associates, nor my own doctors, nor any proffesional for that matter has ever told me anything like that. My gradfather once complained that the FBI was a little dull when it pulled up his father's poppy patch, but that's because the patch had the wrong kind of poppies. Dope must not be important to the doctors I know.

If that had happened, and the pollers could not detect the trollers, the results would not have been what they were.
