Good SFTP Clients?
·
· Score: 3, Informative
I just grabbed Secure iXplorer. This is a GUI app that lets you browse, Windows Explorer style, your remote SFTP directory. So far I'm really impressed, might just use it as file managment for my remote machine, since it's easier to look at than a putty window.
Requires PSCP.exe and plink.exe, which are part of the PuTTY toolkit iXplorer does include these in its standard install distro.
Both are Open Source (PuTTY is MIT, iXplorer is GPL), both are really swell, and iXplorer would be good for desktop users unfamiliar with a command line.
I know that genetic research companies deal in large (800GB) filesizes at times, might probably need to transmit those trans-continentally at some point to other offices, etc.
However, that also goes back to "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a 747 with box of tapes on it".
I have a very similar video problem with a Compaq Armada 7400 (PII 300Mhz). Didn't happen AS often in XF86 3.3.6, but almost 100% of the time in XFree 4 +. If I'm in X, and quit, the display borks. I know there's an answer to this, or at least, I knew it once, but I can't FRIGGIN remember it, and I'm too lazy to google... Simply an annoying glitch.
You can get a decent speed 384 or 768k frame relay very cheap these days. You pay more, clearly, than you would for DSL, but for that extra $150/month, you get faster service, Quality of Service guarantees (sometimes), and a company that cares if you can't serve websites. Honestly, I don't expect AT&T Broadband to rush to my aid if I complain about latency because it screws up my CounterStrike server. I would expect an ISP to whom I pay for QoS to care.
Routers can be either leased, purchased on the cheap from Ebay, or built yourself (Linux Router Project, etc).
Definitely give it a thought, I was surprised to see the local CLECs selling a full T1 for ~$700/month.
Wrong, it's an iliostomy. A Colonoscopy is is where they stick a fibre up your ass to take a peek. A Colostomy is where you poop in a bag, iliostomy is where you piss in a bag.
Should be ~/hand, unless hand is the top level of the ~, which I would hope it's not. I would imagine the full path would look more like/home/liquidsin/hand. Don't forget to:
rm -rf ~/bladder after about each fifth iteration of your mv command.
Too bad you can't ln -s/dev/null ~/bladder, I guess if you had Expensive Surgery, you could.
Just to put your mind at ease. If you use Exchange server, I believe Exchange timestamps the mail, not your local machine.

Quoting in Emails?
·
· Score: 1
I've been using Evolution to read mail off our Exchange server using IMAP for a while now. Aside from a couple of annoying things (I can't figure out how to include the IMAP inbox [and all subordinate folders] in the Summary window, it only uses its own inbox) it works very well. Also, there's no good taskbar mailchecker, they'll check/inbox, but if I have exchange filtering my mail, it won't show me if a message arrives in a subordinate folder, hence much window switching to check my mail. This usually causes me to run Outlook on my Windows machine.
One could also use Mutt with IMAP if your exchange admins will allow IMAP.

Patiently waiting for Pronto! IMAP support.
What bothers me is that you can only change this on a person-by-person basis. You can set YOUR default email formatting to plaintext, but when someone sends you an email in RTF or HTML, and you reply to it, your REPLY is in RTF or HTML. You then have to change to plaintext, and blow by a dialog box to do so.
Just sad.
I too wish that there was on option in Outlook to only view messages as plaintext. If that means that all HTML tags are printed, so be it.
In NT4 server, you have to UNCHECK a checkbox, or else you get IIS 3. That sounds like a default install to me. If, like most 'regular users', you blow by any config screens with default settings, then you get IIS 3 when you install NT4 Server. This is a problem because, if you do not need it, then you won't install Option pack, and you're unknowingly stuck with a very very insecure IIS 3 webserver.
While it is true that Linux (aggregate) will be higher than NT, look at the distribution of the actual vulns themselves. Compare two webservers, one running Linux/Apache, one running NT/IIS, Look at the services both would be running, and come back to me on which has more vulns per year.
If anyone is running lpd, SunRPC, Telnet, FTP, etc on an internet facing server, they deserve what they get.
Compare apples and apples, compare IIS to Apache. Same goes for IE and Outlook of course, you can't lump Outlook holes into those kind of stats either, although IE is fair game, since webapps can require IE, even if it's not explicitly open, it is still vulnerable.

If you run the Gnome Control Center (gnomecc), under Document Handlers -> URL Handlers, you can set the browser to whatever you like. I have http set to 'konqueror "%s"', since I use KDE and like my anti-aliased browser fonts.
Now, if only I could get Evolution to show IMAP folders in the Mail Summary on the Summary page, and some sort of visual indicator when new mail is received (a-la a little envelope in my tray)... I've tried all the mailcheckers I can find, and they only seem to do IMAP-Inbox, not any subfolders beneath Inbox, which does me no good.
Hope that helps.

My fiancee is an artist, and we have both PC's and MAC. You can build the PC itself for about $500 for a 1Ghz with plenty of RAM (at least 256, if not 384MB), a $99 64MB GeForce2 card should also do the trick. The trickiest things with artists computers are:
A: Input device. An intellimouse explorer is necessary virtually. I am getting an AIPTek graphics tablet (8x5", $100) for my GF to replace an antique Wacom, tablets are good. Although the box says PC only, I have procured Mac OS9 drivers from AipTek.
B: Disk. Don't just go big and leave it at that, they must be big and fast. PSDs can get very big, and take a lot of time to move around on a 5400 RPM drive.
C: Display. I have been a Sony Trinitron junky for the last 10 years and don't see that changing at all soon. I currently posess two 21" and one 17". If you go to CompUSA with a Rape Me sign on your forehead, you'll pay $799 for a good 21" sony. I got one from a dotcom selloff (unfortunately the one that I was working for at the time, dammit), and the other one came two days ago from an HP Inventory reduction. I paid $400, box had never been opened, check EBay.
Good luck, $1000 is a tight tight budget, but I personally think it can be done, easily actually. Build the machine from commodity parts and you should come in well under $500, add $400 for the monitor, $10 keyboard and $50 mouse.
Software can be sticky. Gimp for windows is fine for starters, but Photoshop, and MUCH more importantly, Illustrator, are necessary for anything very productive.

There goes our favorite Open Source analogy of "Buying proprietary software is like buying a car with the hood welded shut". If there's nothing we can hack anyway, why bother having a hood that opens.
I've seen a bit of code that fits the new paradigm, sort of "Yeah, it's open source, but WHY, since no sane person can read it anyway", early slash for instance?

For such a verbose description, I can't see too terribly much difference between a windows user running PWS (MS Flak: "It's so easy, you're probably ALREADY RUNNING IT!") and google cache, and you don't have to convince google cache to peer with you.

That means if I give/. 100 page views per day, which isn't much, I give them a buck a day, compare that to a subscription to a daily paper, or a magazine. I can get Time for what, like $30/year or so, why would I pay $400/year for SLASHDOT?
Look at the debate on kuro5hin.org over this very topic, which they're actually dealing with as we speak.
I'm going to start my own Slashdot micropayment system anyway, every time I go to Boston2 to reboot some friggin NT box, I'm going to throw my loose change under their cage gate. It might amount to a buck or 3 per month. Admins, listen up, bring a broom with you to Exodus to collect your MicroPayments.

Cause we broke the java tool that tells you how much they are. I hope they aren't running store.sun.com on a 15000, after claiming essentially that it's unslashdottable.
That's close. You don't have to shut down IIS to close this hole. All you really have to do is UNMAP any extensions you don't use. If you make use of htm, html, asp, pl, and you go into application mappings in IIS, and see anything besides htm, html, asp, pl, you should delete them. Now. That should be among the first things a web-admin does.
This worm comes down to laziness, no more no less. I'm betting that, at the absolute most, between 5% and 10% of sites need things like.ida/.idq/.stm, and all the other crap filters that get installed by default.
It's actually a VERY good idea to block outbound port 25. It makes it a little harder on people like me who jump from network to network (have to reset smtp host), but who CARES? It is a very good spam-preventative, and a good security measure. If you have to relay off your home box, have it relay through theirs, how hard is that? This is a price I'm more than willing to pay if it stops one spammer.
Actually, Cringely is like, Head Pundit or something. You don't necessarily have to know a lot about something to be a pundit for it, you just have to get there early and say you know what you're talking about, that's what Cringely did with Nerds, Nerds2.0, etc, and the Internet.
Never show the live site. Ever. Even if you're in the same room physically as the servers, don't do it. ALWAYS make a local copy for an HTML "slideshow", never ever ever allow your sites to be shown "live". Especially on TV, national TV. They will break. Badly.

Latency is definitely a problem. Pinging by air-freight is not the way to go.

Something has annoyed me in the last couple of days about LoudCloud, but I can't remember what it was.
At least I found one thing they have in common with Netscape, besides Andreesen here.
They should have a good market, and it would be nice to see them succeed though.
OOH Games, I need H2G2, and Leather Goddesses from Phobos. Good tip.
It's extremely easy to find pretty much anything on websites. Creative Googling is all that is required. Search for "index of mp3" for an example.
