how would hosts.deny help? Do I drop someone in if they fail their first password guess? second? All the 'attacks' I've seen try once or twice and then stop. Of course, they never come from the same host or IP either.
increasingly off topic, but; I installed service pack 2 and whenever I connected my ipod to the PC I got an instant bluescreen. Service packs *do* break things.
A LTO-2 tape will hold 400GB compressed, 200GB uncompressed. The LTO-1 (200GB compressed) library I use to back up my little corner of the net can hold 7.2TB worth of data.
Of course, those tapes cost like 50 bucks each and the drives cost several thousand...
A large and *affordable* backup medium would be nice.
Meh, size is nothing, speed is everything. Having used a 10k and a 15k rpm scsi disk in my workstation I'm far more eager to see faster rather than larger.
um. Who said that it would be written in stone, mandated by law and enforced by GIANT KILLER ROBOTS that you may only own one car and that car must be this new toyota?
Imagine this scenario: Rent the PM from an agency, maybe one that your employer has a contract with. Every morning at a specified time (or not, if you want to be flexible) a PM arrives at your door. You hop in and relax as you're driven to work. If you need to travel somewhere during lunch then you can last-minute-rent a PM to get there. Then you can use your SUV-a-saurus to haul couches every weekend.
If they were somehow Excursion/H2/Semi proof, I'd use one to get to work. (as long as it cost me much less than my Corolla does).
As you'll have seen from various other comments; Mandrake 10 has the same problem therefore if you're using M10 without problems then FC2 will work just as well.
Most people care about the latest reality tv show. A great many of my Wife's co-workers didn't know about the Abu Ghraib photos, think we found WMDs and that 'about 100 or so' soldiers have died in Iraq.
Yes, a large majority of people are either that dense or simply don't care.
nope. He'll just remake the original trilogy with progressively more and more CG. Then he'll make another trilogy that is nothing like the rather wonderful Zahn trilogy.
Could someone explain the difference between interferometry on the ground and in space? I thought that it was used to filter out atmospheric interference in ground-based telescopes?
Is space based interferometry used to filter out things like dust cloud and gravity distortion?
The thought of a huge solar system sized array of telescopes is most excellent:-)
Digressing even further off topic: Probably, but actions speak louder than words. I'm just afraid he could become a hand-puppet for the far-left democratic elites. (not that the far-right republican elites aren't just as bad)>
We've seen what the republican elites have done for us. What would these democratic elites do?
Lord of the rings will do the same thing. First there will be a 3 episode extended edition box set with some extra stuff and some new bookends or something. Then there will be a super extended edition with scenes like Eowyn defending the Rohan women and children in the caves of Aglarond. (the eowyn scene is shown briefly in the fellowship theatre version DVD's preview of the Two Towers).
Hollywood releases crap because people will still watch it. Just like you or I will do the minimum amount of work to not get fired. The movie industry will try to con us all into buying the same movie 10 times over. You or I would so the same if we thought we could get away with it.
I would support a 'continual driver's appraisal' system like this. But for one problem (just one!?); The.gov, lobbied by the insurance industry would create a law that favours 'industry self-regulation'. That means that the insurance companies would all use different systems and standards to 'rate' our driving.
It would be impossible to get bad driving removed from your record and there would be no such thing as extenuating circumstances. Of course, this would be a great excuse to raise premiums.
Or maybe there'd be 3 separate companies that would administrate the records, like the credit agencies. And that system works terribly, imho.
I'm assuming that you're going to raise that potential problem with the pdtp developers, right?
Sorry, pet peeve is people kvetching about something on/. but not telling the developers.
To fix this, perhaps they could mandate that mirrors copy a particular directory to a temporary location, then take the old directory offline for the few minutes it would take to copy the new files over. Or have a $RELEASE var that clients would ask for and get returned all files marked with that var.
Gentoo is great not because of the source compiling that (allegedly) squeezes a couple of extra 'horsepower' out of the machine. It's great because of the USE variable; I can for instance compile gcc with or without java (gcj) support by setting 'java' or '-java' in my/etc/make.conf. I use gentoo on one machine only, my personal web server.
Red Hat enterprise is great for creating a standard base install and using standard packages with very fast bugfix support. redhat's management website only works because all the packages are standardised. The recent OpenSSL DoS issues were fixed on all 12 of my servers by using a couple of clicks on redhat's website. I couldn't imagine compiling 12 source packages on different machines (we use a combo of x86 and opteron servers).
If you're going to be running one or two boxes, choose gentoo. Otherwise choose Red Hat.

well, I had thought moving to the US would've let me escape pervasive closed circuit cameras, ah well...
The problem with blanket-covering an area with cameras is that after a while, the criminals simply go elsewhere...
Maybe it's like Go; we place our cameras around the country and slowly force the criminals into one little area and take it over?
About as absurd as thinking cameras will solve crime problems...
support this assertion. Provide links. Don't just simply toss that out there without backing it up.
It's simple, really. /. is a privately owned site. It isn't the BBC with some kind of public charter that specifically says 'we are unbiased'.

instead pick up a bunch of old PCs in the local papers' classified adverts. Then cluster those together, if you must cluster something.
It's not so much that everything2 went it's that wikipedia arrived...

E2 is mostly OK. It had some performance, downtime and community issues that took time to resolve. It's sitting under my desk at the moment
Please tell me that this thing can't scan for wifi networks other than itself...
I'd be more worried about spammers than DOSers. Once these things roll out, I guess it'll be time to blacklist comcast.net?
yeah I know offtopic and all. damn. Caron Keating died. I loved her so much when I was 12 to 14.
That's what I get for emigrating to the US, I guess. damn.

Answer to this is the same argument that I've heard sometimes applied to open source:
If we all contribute a little, then the cost to all of us is that much less.

I use both Gentoo and Red Hat Enterprise;
