    no my father always told me there are 5 rules to plumbing.

    5. Payday's Tuesday

  2. Re:Just Wondering on Canadian Census: 20,000 Jedi Worshippers · · Score: 1

    Jesus was executed by the Roman's for not paying tribute to the state gods because it was a "false idol". Unfortunately, that was Rome's ony form of taxation. Therefore, Jesus himself was crucified for tax evasion (and even worse, for encouraging it in others).

    Sorry your wrong. Christ was killed because the Jewish leadership claimed he was saying that he was King of the Jews ("It is you who say that I am.") Christ actually told people to pay thier taxes. "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's. Give to God what is God."

    Yeah I know that I should lookup the passages for proof, but it's lunch here at work and I'm going to go eat.

    The fact that no one has tested it *IS* a sign of how good the license is.

    If it were a bad license some dumbass lawyer would have ate it for lunch already.

    Everybody knows that the machines aren't fixed.... It's the dead people that vote, that screw things up.

  5. Re:Windows 2000 performance on Hotmail about to collapse under load · · Score: 1

    Although everyone here will go "it'll never work" or "it'll fail instantly", my experience with Windows 2000 is that, if properly set up, it can be quite a stable platform. We should all be watching closely, since this will be a real test to see whether Windows 2000 can meet or exceed an equivalent UNIX+Apache system.

    While I agree with you that this is going to be a good test for Win2K. I don't think that you can say this can prove Win2K better than a Unix variant. This is only because you don't know how many boxes they are putting in to replace each of the old BSD boxes that they are taking out.

    In other words, what kind of test is it to say that 400 Win2K boxes can handle the same load as 200 BSD boxes.

  6. Re:DDOS != 10.0.0.0 on The Slashdot DDoS: What Happened? · · Score: 1

    Doing this type of filtering doesn't prevent your system from being used in a DDOS attack, but it prevents your system from being used in the attack with a spoofed address. Hence see 50mb/sec from host w.x.y.z, contact owner of that address block and get it stopped, since it is not forged they have a compromised box internally. If everybody started doing that the world would be a MUCH better place to live in.

    But this would require time on the part of the admin. Time that the admin does not have do to other problems in the system.

    From what I read there are 65,000+ known bugs in the release version of Win2K. Wish I still had the article. Damn!!! Casey
