  1. Re:Other Telnet vulnerabilities on Worm Exploiting Solaris Telnetd Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Xerox made plenty of these.

  2. Re:This will very likely be hard to fight legally on MPAA Infiltrating Campus Nets with Software · · Score: 1

    In NY at least, a minor cannot legally be held responsilble for signing an acknowledgement of this type. I don't know the laws of other states...

  3. Geneseo's Wireless on Intel Ranks Colleges with Best Wireless Access · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I work full time in the IT department at Geneseo. We've pushed out a lot of wireless, but there's always demand for more. Wireless is like crack here... Even one of our bars has two APs in it!!

    While we don't rank as high on it, Forbes also has a Wireless Ranking

  4. NeXT Gear! on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    This year my brother managed to find me a working color NeXT slab, monitor, cdrom, printer, and all the other accessories.

    Another friend gave me 3 Ultra 5s, 2 Ultra 2s, and a SS10.

    This is one happy geek!

  5. Re:Administration nightmare on CWRU Opens Largest Wi-Fi Net · · Score: 2, Informative

    This year was the first year we've had two vlans in our residence halls - one for the residential network & one for wireless access points in the residence halls. Unfortuneatly, XP has made it really easy for students to bridge the two networks together and wreak havoc for us. Tracking down the bridging machines is a nightmare.

    We're currently 3com core (cb9k) to edge (3300s & 4400s), but doing a fork lift Cisco core replacement this winter. Hopefully life will get better when we replace the core, but this has been the roughest semester start we've seen yet.

    Unfortuneatly I'm primarily the Linux guy & not the network guy... I don't know of an easy way to track these monkeys with our current equipment. Any brilliant ideas?

  6. All I Really Want is O'Reilly Books on Merry Christmas · · Score: 1

    When the rest of the house gets up in a couple minutes, all I want to see when I'm unwrapping is a bunch of animal books.

  7. sleepy on Following April Fool's Day Around The World? · · Score: 1

    My favorite joke, although not on April fools, was one I pulled on my former roommate. He had a habit of sleeping in all day long, and then staying up all night to play UT. A semester of this got to be a little too much. To rememdy the situation, I hooked up a webcam in my room that shot at his bed. I had that stream to sleepy.resnet.myschool.edu, and then wrote some cgi to call my room, ring twice, and hang up when a visitor to the page clicked a button. I logged 175 phone calls the first day!

  8. Inbreeding on A Valentine for your Box · · Score: 1

    All of my computers use the naming scheme of fish. I have mr-fish, another mr-fish for my parents MASQ box, little-fish, mrs-fish, fishstick, and bait. I submitted bait and mr-fish. What if they get paired together?? mrs-fish would be upset, and little-fish could have a bastard brother!

  9. Re:Who cares? on Inferno Plugin for IE - An OS In Your Browser · · Score: 1

    Othello and connect four come stock with inferno. Granted it takes a little work to get them working, but they are just plain cool to play. Also, we've just completed checkers for inferno here at SUNY Geneseo for our distributed systems class.

  10. Re:Can't find the router on Wireless LANs and Linux · · Score: 1

    Good for you. I'm sure no one who reads here has ever even heard of the linksys product... Who are you kidding - ipmasquarding all the way.

  11. Gattica on Mitnick Supports A Federal DNA Database · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a movie a few years back about getting around bioloical id? The main character had a minor heart defect, and wasn't able to go in space, so he had to fake his identity. Not that holliwood is fact, but it can be done.

  12. Re:But how do they get back? on Going To Space Inside Magnetic Bubbles · · Score: 1

    Doesn't terminal velocity occour because of friction? In space, this would not be an issue.

  13. Re:ATA/100 Support? on Red Hat 7.0 Coming On Monday · · Score: 2

    Would be nice... Took an entire summer to figure out how to get RH to boot to my 3rd ide controller. (Abit BP-6 MB w/ udma66 HD) Of course slackware did it straight out of the box. What really drove me nuts was that the RH boot disk I actually created during install would boot to the 3rd ide controller. Granted, no udma66, but at least it booted. Slackware ships with 2.2.16, RH with 2.2.14. Maybe difference in the kernel? -No, slackwre is smart enough to includee the udma kernel. Any questions on how to get linux ingeneral to see a drive on the 3rd or 4th controller, let me know...

  15. thumb button on High-Quality 3-Button Mouse For X? · · Score: 1

    I can't even imagine living without the scroll wheel. I have a logitech mouseman pro. It's a wonderfull wheelmouse with no wires, radio reciever built right in. Getting the scroll wheel to work in linux wasn't too bad to dowith imwheel, but my problem is getting the THUMB button to go. From what I have read, this is an X problem. Any one have any way to gt that thumb button to go?

  16. Re:Keep your linux cd... on MS Tells How to Delete Linux, Install NT or Win2K · · Score: 1

    Back when I was new to linux and couldn't do much more than check my e-mail, I used to boot into it to stay away from my addiction to minsweeper. Then I found minesweeper in linux...

  17. Re:I find it interesting... on MS Tells How to Delete Linux, Install NT or Win2K · · Score: 1

    When installing RC2, I was shocked to find that it actually saw my fat 32 partitions for 98se and a program file parition I used. The only benefit I gained from this was not having to split up my mp3 partitions into smaller fat 16 paritions. Let's see, so that means 2000 will now recognize a whopping three filesystems? fat 16, fat 32, and ntfs?

  18. Re:Full of typical microsoft accuracies... on MS Tells How to Delete Linux, Install NT or Win2K · · Score: 1

    Interesting how microsoft actually agknowledges the fact that linux can recognize other filesystems. 2000 is a little more friendly to multiple OS computers by the way it sees fat 32 paritions, but is no linux by a long shot.
