We lost UPN this weekend.
When I told the sysadmin, he went out got a dishnetwork system at sears and has east and west coast feeds for UPN (he says it's part of the superstation package). Took him and his son 20 minutes to setup, and for $200 he got the sat stuff. For the first year he gets a 21.99 credit off his service which means he's paying $15/month.
Told the cable co I was leaving if they did not solve it by today. I'm going to sears tonight.
Canceling cable, but keeping the cablemodem service. I'll kill that and put the cable modem up for sale if they ever put a filter to block out the basic channels. Otherwise I'm take the $10/mon increase in cablemodem cost as cost of seeing the local channels.
gods the problem, (and the answer for some)

Differing belief systems are the cause the problems.
One belief system advocates "jihad";
another over defends itself against this, and ends up going to far.
Another attempts to impose morality, so much that the politicians feign belief.
There cannot be one belief system. All those who want one way should be required to learn about all ways. Once you've been educated about all of them, then you can select one.
No problem. All the c14 ages are need to be adjusted for fluctuations in c14, for source (atmospheric or marine) and in the case of coral, perhaps preferred incorporation of c14 over c13.
Basically, this will improve the calibration of c14 'ages' beyond the 9000 year curves that are available from the bristlecone pine records. This is a really really good thing.
Calibrated c14 dates take into account more that A c14 age determination.
The age determination is just how old is this assuming a certain starting ratio of c14/c13 and a decay rate. Nothing more.
The calibrated dates take into consideration the material, and the know fluccuations of c14. In some portions of the curve, a calibrated aged can span several centruies, even if the raw age only has an error or 20 or 30 years.
Ok let try this, this is what causes big analysis problems in geophysical surveys, if it don't refract, you can't see the layer. Basically, if the wave through the material is faster, then you don't get a signal back...
1) is the employer putting you up, and giving you an food allowance? (my favorite agreement because you show up, work, get enough to live on, and buy toys/vacation with allowance)
2) How long are will they be out of the country? (more than 335 days/tax year, and no taxes to 75k) (might be over a year, not sure)
3) where is the paycheck origiating from? US, taxes come out in US. Out of US, $$ go into account at a small rate per month (less than 10k/transaction (I say month)), and there might be no taxes... and depending on where they are stationed, it might be good to get paid in local currency, since the dollar is goin down the tube.
Someone was nice enough to put warez on my ftp site (moved from DSL on a small local provider to @home, and got a real job, so I was not watching hard).
Been watching the IP's trying to connect through the firewall log, and came upon a site that was now obviously cracked, with the "RameN Crew--Hackers looooooooooooove noodles."
Sent a message to the abuse contact, but never heard back. Many of the IP's attempting to connect have been cracked.
Maybe we sould put a few more honeypots out on the big cable and DSL providers.
If you need direct port 25 access, then you have an idea about what's going on.
ISP should let you sign up for it, authorize it, and perhaps put a large deposit down to insure proper use.
I like the idea listed in the maps rbl, just route all port 25 traffic to the local ISP smtp, then the ISP can add tracking information (x-track-userid,x-orig-smtp, and not rewrite the header). Most users would never notice this, and might actually benefit (no more x-plaining, why can't i send mail through our server while I'm at a conference)
If is was a smart system, then it would alert the ISP that a user was trying to directly contact an open relay server... and...
I got the spam directly from the RNC echampions2000 site, TWICE... at an address that very few people have (recently changed isp's).
I assumed that one of the dozen plus people who had the new one was nice enough to submit my new address...
But then I looked at the freelotto results for that day... guess who the featured advertizer was... RNC echampions2000.... So much for freelotto. Changed email to a freelotto only address, and sent an email to opt-out at freelotto.
If they ever do that again they get a note offering to take cash directly instead of sicking a money grubbing lawyer on them...
FEC needs new rules... all people signing up need to send a confirmation email. All purshased lists must be approved by some internet overseeing body (eg no spam lists) If lists are bought, they are sent through the established site, and use that sites opt-out options (if you send me a political message, I sure as hell want off your email list).
Ah, problem is that all those win apps don't follow a human interface standard, and would not be adopted at the rate the the developers would like.
just the opposite should happen. Develop in cocoa and the apps port to windows (and bsd?).
Hell, develop in java and swing. Better java apps are coming out. I've seen them in development. Just because corel couldn't do java office apps, doesn't mean that others could not develop good java apps for other software niches.
Humm, I wonder if the samba crowd did a bit of slashPR for the MaY 22 conference
The samba crowd has a few speaking slots in the Conference Agenda. With topics like "SMB Interoperability Validation Issues" and "NT Domain Interoperability " Do you think that this will be worked out next week.
How about just the opposite? The kerberos crowd and propose and implement an open extension which will use the same resource space as the proprietary win2k extension.
Which took a day to arrive ont eh site, and three days to make the front page. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/virus/vb slvltr.asp
Customers can avoid being affected by this virus by following standard best practices:
Never run an executable from someone you don't know.
Always have a good-quality virus scanner
Always keep the virus scanner's signature files up to date.
I got the file from a friend (or I was curious to see what fool sent ILOVEYOU to everyone). MS what is an executable file? and are we supposed to update our virus software twice a day?
More importantly. Why after 5 years does unsigned code still run in an unprotected space? The MS trust model with SIGNED code is failing misserably.
Never run an executable from someone you don't know.
Always have a good-quality virus scanner

First, this was sent from people who they may have known. And when it was not, it prayed upon the gossip factor; what fool sent this to everybody.
Response from MS security:
Hi -
Actually, the virus resends a copy of itself to the recipient's entire global address book, so in most cases the mail would indeed come from someone you don't know. But we're going to add some language to the first bullet to also note that even if you receive an executable from someone you know, you still need to consider whether it makes sense to run the executable or not. Regards,
Secure@Microsoft.com
Second, it happened in less that 24 hours. MS's own response with the tech note appeared after a large part of the danger had passed. So are users supposed to update thier stuff every day?
Social engineering will always get around poor security practices. Digital signatures as a security measure are a failure. MS needs a different model to protect it's users. Unsigned code should be run is a protected space.
Oh that's brilliant. Move to an OS which will allow for you to run programs at a different user level.
She should know that you don't run unfamiliar attachments except in a highly secured guest account. And that you don't give your daily account admin permission.

You can read HFS+ files, on winblows, use macopener2000 by dataviz.

I always had the question who could be on the oversight panel.
It couldn't be someone who testified. It couldn't be someone who worked for a competitor (cause what doesn't MS have it's fingers in).
It could have been Linus. He worked for a chip company.
It would have been great. Get paid to be a pain in MS's rear while continuing operating system developement
Bet MS realized that loophole, and decided to go for a new agreement.
The are live bootlegs everywhere, and these things run about $25-40. How do you deal with it?
Record the concerts yourself, and sell them at $16.99.
Not up here. Cable didn't drop it, the local station did.
The nearest UPN feed is now in LA, about 200 miles away.
Still the cable co's fault for not getting their shit together and getting another UPN station.
We lost UPN this weekend.
When I told the sysadmin, he went out got a dishnetwork system at sears and has east and west coast feeds for UPN (he says it's part of the superstation package).

Big questions:
... and depending on where they are stationed, it might be good to get paid in local currency, since the dollar is goin down the tube.

Make a filter that just filters a few sites, preferably sites internal to your own local intranet.
Then you have filtering software on the computer. You keep the money.

Interoperability is Focus at CIFS Developers Conference
Humm, I wonder if the samba crowd did a bit of slashPR for the MaY 22 conference

So people can't use Office, as a BM, either.
A blur is about as close to hardware as your gonna get. Face it, for AV transformations, Altivec kicks butt. Just like an Alpha really kicks ass.

Friggin trusted source should mean one run executables and scripts from signed messages.

With a single download of the attachment, without a warning. That's why theres a patch for outlook, 97,98.
That's just bad security.
The worst part is that MS said the trust model would work. You sign, you trust the signer, you can run safely.
This was not signed. It was trusted, big gaping hole in security model.
Oh that's brilliant. Move to an OS which will allow for you to run programs at a different user level.
She should know that you don't run unfamiliar attachments except in a highly secured guest account. And that you don't give your daily account admin permission.
This will be great if they track time shifing.
Also, if it had two tuners, it would be great.
Humm, 50% of the replay users time shift this program.
* 25% are watching buffy instead.
*The other 75% are just culling the commercials.
And what if users could make thier own schedule. Think it would give the network a fit?
On thrusdays, they watch simpsons, that 70's, dharma and greg, and friends. On sunday they watch 60 minutes and x-files.
firewire hubs might have an ethernet gateway.
also, doesn't it include a pcmcia slot?
(I THINK it was 3.0.3 to 3.0.5)
;)
Probably 3.0X to 3.5. three versions back (5, 6 and 7), and about 5 years. Lucky the company is in bussiness
For some reason, they really fuck file format compatibility between 3.0 and 3.5.
Version since Canvas 6, have not been able to read canvas 3.0 or earlier files. I get the feeling that 3.0 files used some mac only features.
Now, why they did build a 3.0 to 3.5 converter, I have no idea.
