> I assume that other NAT implementations suffered from the same type of problem.
I diagnosed the same issue with my early BEFSR41 firmware. Packets for the Windows box would arrive on the Sun's IP halfway through a freakin' TCP connection. The Sun was set as the DMZ host.
Out of frustration, I wrote a raw packet utility to find those packets, re-write them, and send them back to the Windows box.
What a stupid hack, I was sure happy when the new firmware came out. Of course, now I use a Linux box with iptables for NAT.:)
I just sent my daughter a nano for Christmas, all loaded up her MP3s from her old computer.
If she plugs the iPod into her new computer Christmas morning, is she liable to erase all the songs on it? Any special instructions I should send her? (Other than: install the drivers before connecting ipod!:)
Thanks, m/m
Re:I'm thinking of contributing to GCC...

GCC 4.1 Released

Parent's not kidding. GCC contribution is non-trivial.
I got an A in my 4th-year undergrad compiler construction course, and build toy languages with flex and bison on a regular basis (about one every 18 months for 8 years).
The OS Loader does not need to be. The Windows NT ARC loader which spawns MILO on Alpha platforms being an excellent example here.
I suspect the issue would arise around "proprietary" APIs which probably need to be called in order make the boys at Redmond happy and issue you a cert. Or something along those lines. Not being familiar with the MS licensing and NDA terms, I can't comment completely -- which is exactly why I said I had a suspicion, rather than hard facts.
That answer would show that the interviewee was not only paying attention to subtleties of the question, but knew the "right" answer AND the answer to the actual question asked.
I have a sneaking feeling that the M$ license is not compatible with the GPL. So, to release such as "game", you would have to break either one license or the other.
Jaguar (and presumably other high-end) cars remember the driver's seating position, and have done so for quite some time. They don't use RFID, though, they just use the computer chip in your key to remember you.
Just remember, if you're really tall and your wife is really short, don't go grabbing her keys on the way out of the house, or you may become permanently trapped in your vehicle.

It may have been the very same thing.
The 1541 would recover from read errors by telling the stepping motor to position the head WAY past the outer track. Of course, this would cause it to bang it repeated against the cam stop. This would insure that the head was properly aligned for track zero (and probably why those damned drives went out of alignment so often!). Then, it would count forward the right number of tracks, and try to read the data again.
I think it has something to do with the readability of variable names in Hungarian Notation... The memorability of the name decreases as the square of the variable's importance.
Actually, TV's have been "staying on" for at least 25 years by recollection. Once upon a time, it was a marketing feature called "Instant-On". Before instant-on, it often took 60-90 seconds after hitting (or, usually, pulling) the power button to get a decent picture out of it.
They solved this by leaving certain tube heaters on (possibly at low power) all the time. Hence the reason why you could look inside your TV and see a faint orange glow, usually near the neck of the CRT.
Hope all you want, I'm 98% certain that Solaris 9's crypt function is still 3DES by default -- but you can theoretically add more crypt methods with security plug-ins.
I'm also willing to bet that there are other mainstream OS's out there with weak password hashing, although IIRC Linux isn't [by default] one of them anymore.
Your suggestion implies that you OS uses MD5 for crypt(2) [or crypt(3C)]. It does not. It uses whatever password hashing function your OS uses. So, it could be 3DES!
If you care about portability/repeatability, you'd be better off linking in OpenSSL.
Lenina Huxley, you are fined one-half credit for a sotto voce violation of the Verbal Morality Statute. Additionally, you are fined 120 credits per infraction of the Safe Speed Statutes, for exceeding the speed limit of 45 miles per hour on the freeway 72 times this morning. Be Happy!
I did not challenge your view point, I invited you to back it up with something other than 3rd-grade name calling. I had, apparently mistakenly, assumed that you were offering your viewpoint in an attempt to be educational, rather than inflammatory.

Political Science, and even Philosophy, require more than hypotheses in order to advance understanding. From your rants, am I to gather that you believe that Chomsky believes that when you're challenging an established viewpoint that no proof whatsoever is required?
I believe Noam would actually disagree with you on this issue. For example, in the context of his criticism on the corruption of French high society, he has said:
There are more important things to do, in my opinion, than to inquire into the traits of elite intellectuals engaged in various careerist and other pursuits in their narrow and (to me, at least) pretty unininteresting circles. That's a broad brush, and I stress again that it is unfair to make such comments without proving them: but I've been asked, and have answered the only specific point that I find raised. When asked about my general opinion, I can only give it, or if something more specific is posed, address that.
1. You don't like my "proof?" I offered to prove nothing, and merely referenced the actual document being discussed.
2. My original query did not discuss the senate. Therefore, your senate argument is a straw man.
3. My original query did not discuss the issue of sex, only the issue of prosperity. Since sex is not directly linked to prosperity, your argument is irrelevant.
4. The origin of the constitution is independant of its content.
Are you debating skills really so poor that you can't even make one point on topic?
Incidentally, if you actually believe that the Senate runs Canada, you have some serious learnin' to do. You could kill every last senator today, and the country would not change one iota.
I always forget about the u/g/o= syntax, I don't think it existed when I started using UNIX (late 80's), otherwise I think I would have used it; it's a lot like the QNX syntax I was used to at the time.
Xenix was my first UNIX, followed by UNIXware, SunOS, Slackware, AIX, and finally BSDI where I lived until the mid 90s. I've been living in Solaris land ever since, with a few dallyances in Linux land (RH4.2, RH8, recently Knoppix) and smattering of OSX. I like OSX, it's an end-user box with a terminal window that makes me feel at home.
And nobody laughs at me for using the term SYSOP. Maybe it's because I hand out the paycheques.;)

Whoah, I mis-read that as "How do you recruit talent for MI5"
Must. Reduce. Coffee. Intake.
