We had a "bot wars" program where you wrote a C/C++ program, and then the arena program uses the resulting executable to represent your bot in a graphical arena. There was a basic command set, and a set of rules. It was great fun. Teaches you how to program and the basics of AI. Does anyone know where I could get this? I've looked all over. I know about redcode... but ASM isn't my forte.
Go buy a bridge rectifier (aka full wave rectifier) from Rat Shack... you can also build one out of 4 diodes. I think they've got one rated up to 250V.. not sure about amperage. Also, make sure gap between electrodes isn't too wide.
IIRC, NT 4.0 was released in 1996. RedHat 4.0 was released in 1996 as well.
So let's see.. let's run NT 4.0 with no service packs against unmodified RedHat 4.0.. Now let's run the contest again.
You *can't* compare a stock version of NT 4.0 with a stock version RedHat 6.0.. There's at least a 3 year age difference between the products. You can, however, compare NT 4.0 with SP4 (1999) to RedHat 6.0 (1999).

Bah fuckin' humbug. I ran Linux for 2 years.. now I run FreeBSD. Unix is gonna be confusing for any point & click luser... regardless of what flavor of unix it is.
Until some kind of systems management suite for X comes out (don't try to convince me that redhat's control panel is the slightest bit usable), linux/FreeBSD systems administration should be left to the geeks.
I that this open_unix vs. open_unix stuff is absolute bullshit.
OS developers & contributers - work together. Users - choose what's right for you.
Debating over which is better and which is more popular is a complete waste of time. Lets all cooperate and off the 50 billion pound Gorrila in Redmond.
After talking to someone at Cybex, they said the 4XP (the modular one that will do Sun, et al) will support higher bandwidth, while the smaller Autoview (the one we own) will not. Either way, I think Cybex products are great!
If you're using tripwire correctly, you should be able to restore from backup without worrying about rogue binaries & scripts. One of the reasons for doing full system backups is to get the system "BACK UP" with very little down time. Reinstalling your binaries & scripts can take a long time. Of course, if you're using FreeBSD, it's easy to keep track of previously installed ports and reinstall them from source in a matter of hours. If you're using Linux (not my forte) I guess you could reinstall bins from SRPMs and the such. Don't forget that some people admin machines that are thousands of miles away. Popping the CD back in and reinstalling isn't usually an option.
This reminds me of the whitehouse.gov e-mail system during the Lewinsky scandal. They were using NT/Exchange to handle all the mail. Naturally, the system failed. Where do these major corporate entities get their consultants? "Hi.. MCSE 'eh? You're hired!".
I'm sure a couple of Sun HPC 450's would handle every bit of e-mail they get thrown at them. A word to any government officials... don't experiment with MS products.

...or are this guys hands totally disproportional? Look at the last picture on the page (the one w/ the mirror). Freak show action.

Better yet, go find an old heathkit power supply!

I couldn't live without this app. Cracking is a crapshoot without it.
Also.. being that it's a cracker's tool.. it's readily available as an "evaluation" version.. heh.

1) Are you an Alien agent sent to earth in preparation of a global invasion of planet Earth ?

Look at Amiga.. I don't recall seeing any of the M$ 'killer apps' ported over to Amiga. You say Amiga, I think Toaster.
If Adobe and Macromedia were to port their graphics apps to Be, then Be would likely have a long and successful life.

The fastest sustained transfer rate on the best of drives is about 10MB/sec sustained read, and about half of that for write.
Duh.. your're right.. the whitehouse uses innosoft's PMDF-MTA. My bad.
