I'm still amazed that Mobo makers don't toss in dispoable straps with their retail boxed boards - hell they only cost 50 cents or so.
I was happy to see that Cisco included static straps with modules and RAM chip upgrades for routers, shows they're trying to help (that and Cisco equipment tends to be a LITTLE bit more expensive than the average motherboard:>). Of course even without straps most people should be able to follow the simple rule of equalizing potential differences between you and the equipment (like many people have stated, touching the case).
That and with Dells they have these shitty plastic cases too. Where's the metal to touch too?:)
Anyway, I agree with you about component prices. I like them cheap too, and in more than a few years of handling computer parts I only blew up one motherboard about 5 years ago. Even that was a big mistake I knew I made as I was making it. (fumble, shuffle, dry nylon carpet) C'est la vie I thought. I guess the world in general (or is it only America?) is requiring things to be more and more moron proof. The AOL generation.
And for those people who say 'fuck that' and just buy their own wireless card to connect to the network with 'for free', how would the landlord notice?:)
I was not aware of that:).. thanks for the info!:) Yea.. I guess my info IS a bit outdated, never having the need to look into it past what I learnt from my first linux use in 1996.
Maybe Brazil would have the cure anyway if you didn't all cut down the rainforests to make a quick buck, with no thought to the resources lost by such actions. AIDS cures etc. Brazil could be in the lead of producing these instead of merely burning them down to farm on, then moving on to the next area and the next.
it doesn't make a damn bit of difference whether someone "messes up" on this or not.
It WILL make one hell of a difference when whiney lusers wonder where all their data went to, because they used a filing system that didn't keep its data:> Choosing wisely is VERY important.
That's the tradeoff you have of changing to (all of them) relatively 'new' filing systems, there might well be problems with all of them.
That and quite a lot of people who maintain Linux servers for companies (like myself) DO care how these things perform and are certainly not going to jump in and be the beta test group for any of these for any critical machines.
So granted, that was a (l)user perspective you gave.. but some of us are actually interested in this stuff.;P
Apart from the root partition that is. That looks like it'll require a reboot as it can't be modified while mounted and of course all the other partitions can be unmount/mounted while the machine is running, to a certain extent of course. You'd still need to shut down programs that have their current directory on any of these partitions for example.

Whee... Code Red!
Not to mention the ideas of 'antibody' viruses (legal implications aside, it's an interesting idea)..
the hindenburg put a lot of people off even though we now know what the cause was.
I hope people DO realize that it was the aluminium oxide skin of the craft that ACTUALLY caught on fire first. This skin was arranged in panels. Also, the fact that these panels were attached together with 'string'. During the voyage to New York, the airship picked up a lot of static charge caused by moving through the rain and wind. Some panels were electrically connected by the (now wet ) string, some weren't because the string hadn't got wet enough.
So, when it reached its landing point, a mooring rope was dropped. That EARTHED the airship, and most of the charged 'panels' discharged. Some didn't, and of course then there was a potential difference, causing a spark. Now, aluminium oxide is used as fuel for rockets now, but it wasn't then and people didn't know how combustible it was. This spark happened towards the back end of the airship near the tail, where the rain hadn't soaked the string to make it conductive (and thereby lose its charge). This fire from the skin panel spread quickly, and of course the hydrogen didn't help but when you look at the footage of the hindenburg burning up, look at the SKIN of it and how quickly it burned. The hydrogen just dissipated UP when it burnt off.
Btw, I saw a tv program that revealed all of this a while ago, so I'm not pulling it out of my ass:D

Actually, make that 1917 attempts counting all websites across all machines.. that's not a lot compared to other people's findings I guess. Not that I'm complaining either.. There is certainly repetition in the addresses too as well as attempts from the same machine (as someone else pointed out).. so it just looks like maybe just a fraction of that number of individual machines that found our particular class C.
I've seen 700 or so on our sites here.. (a mix of the first and second ones, judging by the differing urls). On my own personal machine there's another 350 or so.. Stupid really, considering none of the sites are 'high profile'.. it all just comes down to network address ranges I think. The networks are just scanned and each IP attacked aren't they?

As far as I can tell, there's absolutely no vbs out there that should need a viewable, printable PDF, mother f*****.
Any sort of scripting or executable code should be left out of PDFs. Why people let their companies be run by the damn marketdroids is beyond me. They should just keep PDF as a DOCUMENT format instead of trying to get 'clever' with it. Jeez Adobe, you'd think that was obviously a BAD idea with MS Word docs.
The features of Adobe Acrobat should be confined to.. Adobe Acrobat!.. Why embed stuff in the PDF files?.. leave the program code in the program and the data in the file. Just to save a couple of clicks maybe? how sad.
Judging by the intelligence of the average marketroid though, that's the sort of user to be making PDFs, then it'll become yet another headache for IT departments everwhere. Granted, you're a moron if you open unknown/unverified attachments but there's a hell of a lot of morons out there.:/
