  1. Re:I don't really get the Java hate around here on What Makes a Programming Language Successful? · · Score: 1

    1. he's talking about an application that start from within the browser.

    2. I've seen different versions of java installed (on windows) brake too.

    There are system libraries or something in windows and different versions of the jre or jdk install different versions of that. And it does brake.

  3. Re:Finally! on Welcome to the New Slashdot Chicago Cluster · · Score: 1

    But what about connectivity ?

    I think I've seen cogent in some traceroutes and I know there are connections from vodafone to the UK or Ireland.

    I also see there is a lot mentioned about satellites.

    Also I see 1 internet exchange (Reykjavik/RIX) ?

    And what about the language barrier ?

    It however wouldn't work very well as a phone ?

  7. putty on Smartphones For Text SSH Use — Revisited · · Score: 1

    when putty is connected (and up to date) use the key left to the thumb-key. There is a menu there, which has send -> special key -> tab. it's a bit far, but it's there. In this menu there is also a way to change the font.

    I use a public-key without a passprase so I don't need to type a password.

  10. set up a terminal server on Dealing With Dialup · · Score: 1

    If you have DSL or cable at home and you have a machine you use as a firewall (which is always running), maybe you could set it up as a terminal-server.

    Preferrable over a VPN.

    You might want to look into which protocols are the most bandwidth efficient.

  12. Re:Wouldn't it be nice... on Spammers Hijacking IP Space · · Score: 1

    I have a really simple policy, if you abuse some service at our work, you could get blocked.

    So if some IP-block sends a lot of spam (at the moment I don't see any traffic from there), I block it at the mailservers.

    Or firewalls if they still use up a lot of traffic (usually tcp syn and reset don't usually use up a lot of traffic).

    I totally agree. Spending time on doing it right the first time, using compartments, etc. does make a lot of sense and probably saves you lots of agravation/time in the long run.

  16. Re:Patented by Microsoft? on Patch the Linux Kernel Without Reboots · · Score: 1

    The NT-kernel is much more like a micro-kernel as I understand it, so it would make sense to be able to swap a module for a new version.

  17. Re:Depends on your install on Patch the Linux Kernel Without Reboots · · Score: 1

    I say, use kexec instead (it's in Debian stable/Ubuntu: kexec-tools).

    It loads the kernel in memory and reboot into the new kernel.

    Didn't Solaris also have binary kernel patches ?

  19. Re:Unless it fails. on Patch the Linux Kernel Without Reboots · · Score: 1

    Using kexec (no BIOS involved, just load a new kernel in memory and reboot a new kernel) and passing the proper options to tune2fs (-C and -c) on all (even active) filesystems (no filesystem check) does help a lot already.

    An other idea I just had, was to get a server at a hosting company and setup a VPN to that server and use that as your internet gateway.

    I just pointed at the article to point out Juniper is also delivering products based on Linux.

    I wasn't passing judgement about how well it works.

    Ofcourse Cisco already did too, through the company they've bought, LinkSys.
