    There is no difference, maybe it's easier to misunderstand via e-mail, but that's it.

    Running those files through a virus scanner on the server side would probably be a good idea, though. Of course, that'd use more CPU time than just delivering the message, so messages might end up being delayed a few seconds, but it's a small price to pay.

    Speak for yourself, it really depends on the amount of mail your server processes.

    This sounds like a bit of a time-critical section. :-) You shouldn't be using a perl-compatible regular expression for that (quietly slow string comparison) or if you do, you should make it fast:
    "/^http:\/\/slashdot.org/"
    (starts with), but best is ofcourse:
    if (strtolower(substr ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 0, 16)) == 'http://slashdot.org') {
    exit ();
    }
    Well, just for completeness.

  11. Re:This will be nice on Application Layer Packet Shaping on Linux · · Score: 1

    Well, in the future you can use one or more PCI-card (combo6) to use as ASIC, see: http://www.liberouter.org/.

    It uses an FPGA, which is programmed at startup, so you can reprogram it, when they release a new version.

    That will make it a lot faster, it's pretty much the same principle Juniper uses (they use Pentium 3-CPU's for the PC-part to run the controlling software on).

    I'm sure it will give a big performance improvement.

    Actually, Linux can be a USB-device, so you could do it.

    Well, UTP is also several smaller cables (pairs), in theory they could just add a pair of copper-cable next to the fiber, for power.

    That would be nice.

    Important Note About the New Airport Base Station (AKA "Snow")

    The new model of the Airport Base Station which features two Ethernet ports is a completely different device. Don't even dream about using etherboot and the linux port discussed here on that one.

    * The old "graphite" station is an embedded i486-PC running an embedded BIOS and the KarlBridge software.
    * The new "snow" station uses an embedded (860 series) PowerPC and it runs vxWorks. While it should certainly be possible to port Linux to that device, too, no efforts have been undertaken, however. I have previously run linux on the 860 - a neat device.
    * This little utility helps extracting a zlib compressed part from a binary file by using brute force :-). You must not use it on the "snow" firmware binary, though, as this could violate the license.


    The site discusses the use of the earlier version which uses a 486-chip, also AMD ? to run Linux on.

    Have you ever looked in the Linux kernel how much goto's are used...?

    In 'critical code', sometimes not-so-common methods are used to make it perform/work better/smaller memory size/be more efficient/etc.

    Yes, I found out about that yesterday, while I was looking for support for debugging, which it supports using DBG.

    But, it seems Xored WebStudio will go on the be known as: TruStudio (from the website: TruStrudio will be next generation of WebStudio product. Preserving all WebStudio features TruStudio will introduce new great ones and all wishes of grateful users...)

    And I guess it will be open source, because it has a sourceforge site (which is only for opensource projects ?).

    But there is nothing in CVS or otherwise source available. Binary downloads from there site now goto the sourceforge site, though.

    I think I'll ask the author about that, because I think they should.
