I open up this story to read the comments, and to my dismay, there is a DoubleClick advert in the main story. At home I filter them out automatically, but I'm at work now, and just wondering, how long has/. been dealing with the treachorous DoubleClick?
A Canadian man was having coffee and croissants with butter and jam in a diner when an American man, chewing gum, sat down next to him. The Canadian ignored the American, who, nevertheless, started up a conversation.
The American snapped his gum and said, "You Canadian folk eat the whole bread?" The Canadian frowned, annoyed with being bothered during his breakfast, and replied, "Of course."
The American blew a huge bubble. "We don't. In the States, we only eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle them, transform them into croissants and sell them to Canada." The American had a smirk on his face.
The Canadian listened in silence.
The American persisted. "D'ya eat jelly with the bread?"
Sighing, the Canadian replied, "Of course."
Cracking his gum between his teeth, the American said, "We don't. In the States, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds, and leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform them into jam and sell it to Canada."
The Canadian then asked, "Do you have sex in the States?"
The American smiled and said, "Why of course we do."
The Canadian leaned closer to him and asked, "And what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?"
"We throw them away, of course."
Now it was the Canadian's turn to smile. "We don't. In Canada, we put them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum and sell them to the United States."
what about sending money via PayPal?
many of us already have PayPal accounts, so that would be a good way of doing it, as there it is literally off your credit card.
I develop on phpMyAdmin, and paying me would really help me find a ne hdd for my test box thats about to go belly up.
nope, that would give a perfectly logical error:
bash:/dev/brain: Permission denied
This brain is permissioned as read-only.
You actually expect to teach an old dog new

You might have seen more unicode than you realize.
The first major example I came across was when I was writing a login page that allowed you to choose what language you wanted from a drop-down box. The only way it will work right for the large plethora of languages I support is with Unicode. I have several of the oriental languages as well as Arabic available to choose from in their own scripts on the dropdown.

To prevent risk of SSH key data having been
compromised, we have also removed any SSH key data
you had previously posted to the SourceForge project CVS servers or shell servers, either
directly or via the SourceForge website. If you
had not posted SSH key data to the SourceForge site or the shell or CVS servers, this paragraph may be disregarded. We request that you review the SSH keys (authorized_keys) and use the 'Edit keys' link on your Account Maintenance page
(https://sourceforge.net/account/editsshkeys.php) to post those public keys you are actively using.
It should be noted that both SSH1 and SSH2
public key data (identity.pub/authorized_keys/authorized_keys2) may be posted via this interface.
This is a useless measure, as all that is stored in the authorized_keys files are the public key hashes, which cannot be used to compromise any other systems. (Not unless they get more data about the key or find a way to reverse the encryption, but I count that as highly unlikely.)
The only thing that could come out of having the public key hashes stolen is that we could maybe login to the systems of the bastards that hacked SF and get our revenge.
Thusly, SF has wasted a chunk of time for everybody by obliterating our public keys.

Lots of people seem to have incorrect IP blocks, esp 192.168.*
The only correct private IP blocks in RFC1918 are
10.0.0.0/8 (10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255)
192.168.1.0/24 (192.168.1.0-192.168.1.255)

One thing I've looked for, and not found, information about old BBS systems that used to run.
One in particular:
"Peachfuzz BBS" in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, area code (604). It might have been "PeachPhuzz BBS".

At least they still did a few weeks ago when my father was there on business... ICQ# : 30269588
