About setting up a samba server on an apache content directory, you said: "The Windows solution doesn't require a $150,000 'system administrator' to make it work."
Who's still hiring that kind of cash for such tiny and simple jobs?
Wow, I set something like that up in a couple of days as part of another more important setup. And I'm making less than $150K per year. Did I do it too fast and am I underpaid now?
You're right, that is a very nice thing to see. Maybe karma should be linked to a sort of code-of-honour in posting on/.

Not only that, it's a different metric, because it's leaving out the 'per second'. My response to the title "8.6GB Internet" was 'the internet is much bigger than 2 DVDs, more like tera or exabytes'.
Otherwise, who needs Internet connections if you can carry a copy of the whole Internet on 2 discs?
A cool fuel cell is benefitial: Higher temperature means more loss through leaking heat, and means more wear as all chemical reactions speed up, and materials weaken due to the higher temperature.
The worry I have about batteries is my experience with laptop, cordless, and cell phone batteries: after one year you lost 50-100% of the battery's capacity...
"The URL is http://dear_raed.blogspot.com/ The AI is eating the underscore.:("
For good reason, because the underscore is not an allowed Internet host name according to IETF RFC952:
1. A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up
to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus
sign (-), and period (.). Note that periods are only allowed when
they serve to delimit components of "domain style names". (See
RFC-921, "Domain Name System Implementation Schedule", for
background). No blank or space characters are permitted as part of a
name. No distinction is made between upper and lower case. The first
character must be an alpha character. The last character must not be
a minus sign or period. A host which serves as a GATEWAY should have
"-GATEWAY" or "-GW" as part of its name. Hosts which do not serve as
Internet gateways should not use "-GATEWAY" and "-GW" as part of
their names. A host which is a TAC should have "-TAC" as the last
part of its host name, if it is a DoD host. Single character names
or nicknames are not allowed.
Bind will complain in its logs if you use it. I guess register.com doesn't check RFC compliance ("dig dear_raed.blogspot.com NS")...
If needing to use the gpl license for program X (the one you need to share) made it difficult or impossible to use a closed-source license for programs A, B, and C, you might have a point. But since that isn't the case at all... well, you get the picture.
Perhaps there should be a/. setting 'lag time' so that you can actually follow the links of the stories when you read them a day later than the crowds.
OpenSSH and OpenSSL are developed as part of the OpenBSD project, and didn't we have a couple of security problem discoveries of fielded versions in the last year? So it still doesn't catch all problems before fielding.
If it's found and patched before exploited, that's already an order of magnitude better than after exploitation is rampant (IIS). Sure, a strict auditing process may help security, but still has no guarantees and may slow development speed.
Sure, both are security bugs, but of a totally different order of magnitude.
The IIS hole was a remote exploit including privilege escalation open to abuse by anybody on the Internet, and the kernel one was a local privilege escalation open to abuse by system users with shell access or other capability to run&abuse ptrace(). If you have untrusted local users, you should run them in a UML or vservers/ctx anyway so thay if they escalate privileges, they still can't harm the system.
Plus, the IIS bug was found after US ARMY web sites were getting hacked, and the kernel bug was found by a developer that was auditing/working on part of the code and patch available before any bad guy got to it.
Sounds like WebDAV allows an out-of-spec NTDLL kernel API call to occur as a result of an incoming web request from IIS.
Sounds like yet another result of not having a completely well defined API and/or not adhering to it...
Anything between the big-bad-intetnet and operating system internals should check all parameter values and data it passes on to the OS.
Basically, there could be another bug in another dll of windows that WebDAV may someday call, and the same security hole is open again. Especially worrysome since a single software install/update could place a new DLL in place that contains the bug...
So basically you're saying that a black hole really is a universe being formed, which for the observer inside of the black hole is a similar experience as the big bang that we think formed ours.
So we already are inside of a black hole... that is inside of a black hole inside of a black hole (while(true)).
Plus: So all we have to do to prove it is find this hawking radiation, that is thinned out to infenitesimal low density?
hihi, thanks for the laugh. yeah, the 'west africa', or 'nigerian oil' scam... It's amazing that they're still sending those, I guess some people still fall for it, or at least some other people think they do. I read a story on the net one day of a guy who responded back and kept them busy, sending them a picture of captain kirk when they asked for an ID picture, and they didn't even recognize it!

I don't need to do all that stuff and kill off aol,hotmail users, just install spamasassin version 2.x or newer (apt-get), and put this in your.procmailrc (assuming you retrieve mail with fetchmail or get it in on smtp):

Obviously, they are testing the ssytem under load now, and this is part of their test plan.
