  12. Re:I've gone through 5 Maxtors on 3 Major HD Makers Recalling Drives? [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    I have had a simmilar experience with maxtor I have sent back the same 15 gig drive 3 times the 4th one is making a strange noise but I dont think that I will try again on top of that I have sent back bouth of the 10 gig maxtor drives that I bought. Of the 15 maxtor drives that I have bought over the last 3 years only 2 have not died a horrible noisey death a 20 in my firewall and a 60 in one of my file servers. After my maxtor experience I have switched to IBM death stars and strangeley of the 12 I have running right now (2x30,4x60,4x120 and 2 laptop drives 20G and 30G) I have not had a single problem they seem to be fast and reliable. My only complaint and it is a small one is that after a few years you notice that the laptop drives slowley become louder and louder. Anyway just wish that IBM had not sold it's HD division as they are getting harder and harder to find.

  13. Re:Gnutella on Nullsoft's Waste: Encrypted, Distributed, Mesh Net · · Score: 1

    Yeah they did and they did. And they did it after they where bought by AOL. Strangeley the Gnutella down load site dissapeared pretty quickley ;) so grab it and mirror it while you can.

  14. Re:Not clear text on Security Vulnerability in Apple's AirPort Base Station · · Score: 1

    True when I did a security audit my display filter for ethereal auto magically converted the x'ord pass to clear text. Although this is marginally better than clear text I would argue that it does not provide any real security except perhaps a false sense.

  15. Strange on Security Vulnerability in Apple's AirPort Base Station · · Score: 5, Informative

    I wonder what promped them to release this. It is obvious that you could "sniff" the password for the airport since it uses clear text for the password. If this considered a security hole then linksys, dlink, belkin, cisco, 3com, asante, maxgate, netgear, samsung, unex and virtually every one else who makes wireless ap's has the same problem.

  18. Re:Yes, but it's not on Microsoft Windows Update and Network Bandwidth? · · Score: 1

    Yes URPMI can be cached by squid (as long as you are using an http source on a standard port) It can do it even on a strange port you just have to ajust your port mapping.

  19. Re:can't be cached? on Microsoft Windows Update and Network Bandwidth? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I can also vouch for this I had a Linux Mandrake SNF Server running a transparent squid server (with a little tweaking to the max file size and the average file size) I was able to cut out about 90% of the windows update traffic at the site (The site had about 200 users) none of the transactions where cached but when it came to downloading the updates and service packs it works wonderfully.

  20. Re:Silent? on Off-board/External ATX Power Supplies? · · Score: 1

    I think that they are thinking more along the lines of a laptop power supply aka lots of surface area to dissipate the heat no fan needed

    Nope 9.1 is back to 650 mb cd images for this verry reason

  22. Re:TCP/IP on Technologies that Have Exceeded Their Expectations? · · Score: 1

    The OSI model or stack as you call it is not a protocol at all. It is a seven (some think that is should be 8) layer refrence model used mainly to compare, or design new protocols. It is also very handy when intergrating 2 dissimialr systems as it allows you to look at the logical distinctions in the protocol stacks and to map between them at the same level. This jack of all trades also makes an excellent teaching tool.

    Technicaly That is one Acronym or 4 words ;)

  24. Re:Penalties on UT Austin Hit By Massive Security Breach · · Score: 1

    If you think that you cant get "Hacked" just because your computers are no longer directley connected to the internet then you are being nieave. This may stop you from being cracked but if a real hacker wants to take a look at your net the fact that it is not directley connected to the internet may not be as big of a problem as you would like to believe.

  25. Question on GM Organism Produces New Amino Acid · · Score: 1, Troll

    How do we know that this amino acid is not produced in nature? Last time I checked we had not catalogued every living creature on earth let alone analyzed all of the chemicals that each of them produce.
