It's not really that easy of course, since most people only find out about these problems and 'features' about life at their chosen university after signing up for a year and forking over money. Perhaps some sort of independent site could gather this information that students at troublesome universities want to make known. And then awareness for new students should be brought to that site before signing up.
For those there now, they can either stuff up their academic life for a while (losing money in the process) to relocate or live with it. Tough decision.
Indeed. I use TeraTerm with the SSH addon for a Windows SSH client, by which I administrate a number of Linux machines running - you guessed it - OpenSSH! (no, it wasn't a confused choice, just an informed one)
What other Windows SSH clients to people use?.. I've personally found TeraTerm + SSH to be very effective and easy to use.
Buy a different model of drive if the space is what you need.:>.. You have to think of OTHER uses of hard drives to appreciate the market for this drive.
Indeed.. following on from the MP3 player idea, people would like that storage built into their cars for MP3s, and there shock is a big problem
.. depending on how you drive, obviously:>
The solutions out there at the moment I think have to really baby the HD so it doesn't get destroyed by the shock and vibration. That is to say putting it in shock-absorbant foam, giving it a suspension of its own etc. A hardier hard drive could lead to cheaper systems that didn't need to worry about it so much.
Sounds like a nice use for a laptop too that you gave: portable MP3 player. Nice.
Either that or tell whoever you're receiving the message from to stop being a fuckwit and send email as PLAIN TEXT which is what email was MEANT to be used for from the start. If people want to send things other than plain text, that's what ATTACHMENTS are for. Save the attachement and view with whatever program deals with that file type.
And the #1 girl on the site is a pic posted by a guy, as are most of the other pictures. They are taken from softcore porn and or famous model glamour shots.
2.x where x is obviously the SAME number. Like 2.2.0 stuff is intimately compatible with 2.2.18.
2.4.0 is a different x. A different MAJOR revision.
Lots of stuff DOES run under Microsoft OSs, I'm not refuting that part of the comment. But at least get your x's and y's right:>
I think it's nice to get rid of legacy software so you're not carrying the weight of its problems YEARS down the line. Hmm.. like 8.3 filenames?.. Yes, NT is a different OS than Win9x.. therefore, they dumped the legacy stuff and some things broke. It's less severe under Linux, but the principle is the same.
this exploit breaks out of a chroot jail, just like most of the older ones.
Who cares what the root directory is?.. if the process doesn't have permissions to modify *any* files (just read its configuration and data files) then there is much less chance of anything actually HAPPENING on the server IF that process is broken into by a remote exploit.
Yea, it's something so NOT Amiga but calling itself that.. kinda sick really. I fail to see any Amiga-likeness of it all. Where's the custom chips with the cute names, the chip-ram/fast-ram split, the OS-in-a-ROM-chip.. I doubt too that that Workbench and Intuition could be recreated in Java with the slickness that I remember in REAL Amigas.
That's what bugs me the most about Challenger... the engineers KNEW about the fault that caused the explosion, they'd come close to having similar explosions during testing and knew the problem hadn't been fixed.
No, it was the managers (at Morton Thiokol - mfrs of the rocket boosters) that OVERRULED the decision of their engineers who had a agreed that a launch in the cold January temperatures would be disasterous.
Do you get the Discovery Channel?.. There was a very informative program on about the Challenger distaster. 'Challenger: Final Mission' or something like that. Anyone else see that program too?
It's always the managers that screw these things up. Either by rushing the engineers/programmers/experts or assuming they know best when they clearly don't know shit.
And UPS manages to 'roughhouse' anything you send via them. I recently had a delivery of computer parts which were totally destroyed by UPS. The box looked like someone had dropped a 16lb bowling ball from a 2 storey window on to the box. Inside was a motherboard, hard drives, processor, RAM, video and network cards. Pins and packaging were all broken mashed together, quite a mess. UPS ended up with the $1100 bill to replace them though.
The replacement package arrived a bit better, but STILL had knocks on it. Does UPS play football with these packages?
I used to get packages via the USPS from my girlfriend (now my wife) when I was living in England and they all arrived in REALLY good condition, even fragile items like ornaments.
I'm left with the impression that UPS doesn't actually give a shit about the quality of its delivery system, 'just so long as it gets there'. It's no damn good delivering something if its broken in the process IMHO.
I bet the airflow was worse than crap too with all the turbulence created by both fans. That's Packard Bell though isn't it?.. just crap. Sad really and very difficult to comprehend just why they'd make such worthless machines. I remember seeing hoards of Packard Bell PCs stacked up awaiting repair behind the services counters of PC World stores (when I was still living in England).

Sad that everything comes down to weapons. Advances in technology NOT due to military needs would be a welcome change.

Seriously, what about ESH 'Encrypted Shell' .. seems simple enough.
Keep the command the same though as 'ssh' as it'll just cause problems otherwise.

Have a read of either of the HTTP RFCs and all will become even clearer.

Yea.. Apache has had ErrorDocument for fricking years that does the same thing. A static page, dynamic content or even another URL entirely.

2.x.y is compatible fully with 2.x.z

All the more reason to run your named as a nobody 'named' user without permissions to DO anything on the host machine.

Isn't the aspell library available for Perl? .. I thought it was. I know PHP has had spell checking functions for a while now that use that library.
