I had a really bad-ass prompt for good old DOS 5 with ANSI.SYS support.
It would save the current cursor position, write the date and time on the top line of the screen, jump back to where it had been, write the current directory, and do it all in nice colors!
I do like Gentoo Linux's default prompt, which I've now copied to all my linux machines. Now if they'd just alias ls='ls --color' by default, I'd be real happy!:)
Yup. Just like hardly anyone has any use for the Kernel source. But it can be useful as a reference. The smbfs and cifsfs projects, jCIFS, Samba, and maybe even Microsoft can benefit from it, but a standard developer would have use perhaps only as a cautionary tale.:)
However, a Samba implementer can gain knowledge from it and begin to understand in more depth what the level 10 error logs are saying, which can help increase time-to-solve on new issues. That's where I place the value of this book. Helps a good deal, for me.

In fact, that's why many times a Samba server added to the mix can help things. The samba server can act as an intermediary between the Win2k machines configured to speak DNS only, and the 98 machines that are howling for WINS information.
WINS is only really dead in an all Win2k enviroment, and then only if you turn it off.
You see, if I'm a doctor, and I screw up and overdose you, it isn't a news item. I'll get reprimanded, maybe sued. No one will even notice if it happens many times, because each time it is a different doctor in a different circumstance.
But if I'm a computer software engineer and have a bug in a program that gets 3 people an overdose, then it will be noticed and much howling will be done over it. Even if the total number of errors have gone down, the type of error is new and there is a common factor between all the cases. And so we will complain.
And, I think, rightly. Computers are a tool, not to be trusted, always to be checked. I fear many people believe the computer can never be wrong (because it is so complex as to be indistringuishable from magic, and magic is never wrong) - perhaps this is why there isn't much howling about Diebold voting machines: It's digital, so it must be better!
The examples are of internal CIFS functions. As I said, if you just want to use CIFS, you may not need this book. This is if you want to write code that directly plays on a network using the CIFS protocol.
jCIFS is one example, Samba is another.
One code example is getting a browse list from another networked machine.

The usual cause is badly synced browse lists.
If you add a samba server and tell it to run WINS (with wins=yes), and then tell EVERY windows machine that the wins server is at (IP address of Samba Server), things usually speed up considerably.
Also, there is (I believe), a C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts file that works as a hosts file for WINS).
So they're still storing enough water to cover 12,540 square miles in a foot of water? (Based on 300,000,000 computers made, at 33,000 liters each, is 33 000 * 300 000 000 liters = 2.37513631 cubic miles. Google is good.)
Where is this 2.3 cubic mile storage area? I'd like to see it, must be kinda cool.:)
It'll work if you have dry tinder, basically it is a iron and flint thingy. I remember using them as a kid trying to light paper; took awhile, but could be made to work. The flint wears out eventually, though. I think a Zippo would be easier.
And why does this thread remind me of a Prodigy song?
It was always reading, hardly ever writing. I used it as an MP3 store, and was playing songs with mpg123. My guess is that the Linux cache meant that it was normally idle, but still spinning. I think the gyroscope nature of the disks would help it be stable.
I once had a panic stop that caused it to fly off the seat and onto the floor, and that hung the machine, but I think it was because the RAM popped out. A reboot fixed that.:)
Look, I've taken a NORMAL Maxtor 5400 RPM 120GB IDE drive and connected it to a loose motherboard on the seat of my car, and driven around. Very bumpy, and I've seen no problems. Once I get it mounted correctly it should work even better.

Hmm... on my Gentoo box, less deals with the colors just fine. Maybe it was broken back in the day?
And colors are so darn helpful in see what's a directory, what's a link, etc.
Without colors, you're depriving yourself of important information.

Go to Edit - Preferences - Privacy & Security - Images and check the box next to "Do not load remote images in Mail & Newsgroup messages"
Doesn't force HTML to text, but does prevent the images with scripts from loading.
Hope this helps!

I dunno, maybe a simple version of WinNuke that lets you pick targets from a LAN? :)
But, yeah, if you don't know what you'd do with the information, it probably won't be very useful.
But if you want to work on the Samba project, for example, it'll be very useful.

Thank you! Too bad there is no referral program, as I now have a NetBank account.
Thanks for the tip! Paypal is a necessary evil, but this helps a lot.
Please report these people immediately.
Thank you.
How about this?

You could also carry an oxy-acetylene torch around, with the little spark maker, too.

Why 512MB and 1GiB? Shouldn't it be 512MiB and 1GiB or does the though of 512 Men in Black scare you?

I don't get your sig. It just prints 42. I was hoping for something exciting, like 43.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies
[ebuild N ] app-arch/rpm2targz-9.0-r2
[ebuild N ] media-video/ati-drivers-3.2.8-r1
Gotta love "rpm2targz"!
You're correct.
In fact, if you were some kind of sick freak, I guess you could compile emacs statically, load it, delete it, and never reboot.
But that would scare small children.
Yup.
Newbie Linux is to run as root.
Moderate Linux is to sudo as root.
Expert Linux is to actually run as a user.
Not quite true, but close! Hehehehe.
