    I would recommend looking in phpgroupware/phpgwapi/inc/class.db_*.inc.php and phpgroupware/phpgwapi/inc/class.Template.inc.php

    If it took him 5 hours to install Linux, OpenBSD is NOT the answer for him. I think OpenBSD has the worst installation program I have ever seen.
    I belive FreeBSD has a Sparc port, that would be my preference for BSD land. I have not tried NetBSD, so I can't comment on it.

  10. Re:my exp with reiser on XFS 1.0 is Released · · Score: 1

    Thats pretty odd. I have a Mandrake 7.2 install using rfs, when I upgraded to Mandrake 8.0. I didn't have to reformat or anything like that. Worked like a charm.

    But, on the other hand. I tried recompleing the kernel on my laptop (Mandrake 7.2, rfs) from the stock 2.2 kernel -> 2.4.3. I never did get it to boot, after recomplieing a few times, I gave up. I had more important things to do.

    On my workstation, I can switch from 2.2 and 2.4 only by selecting it at lilo. No changes are required.

    Well, if you have one of those rare internal models you maybe able to contribute it to someone making drivers for Linux for it.

    Since there probley external, search the net for hacks on them. Maybe do some blind reverse eng. on it.

    Last but not least, you could also take out your frustration on DSL providers, and use it for target practise. I think its safe to say, a 12 gague sluge would rip it apart nicely :)

  17. Filtering the wrong end on Napster Judge Groks Filename Variation · · Score: 2
    I think what they are tring to do is impossiable. Think about how many fscking songs are out there. I think a more possiable solution would be to only add approved content.

    But, this brings up the next problem. Who gets to decied ? I know of someone who is tring to get into the music bussiness and wants his music distributed via napster. He owns the copyrights, he can make that dession. Since his name is fairly close to some other well known artists, how do you correctly filter it ?

    What happens when everything is filtered and napster turns to be worthless. Everyone will move on. Honestly, people are not intrested in non-name music (some are, but not many).

    No matter how you look at it - "Put a spork in it, your done son." ... urrr, fork :)

  18. Re:Flawed concept. on Using Webcams as Remote Security? · · Score: 1
    Ever seen the security-cam footage from a corner-store robbery?

    Yes! I worked for a gas station a few years back. A one point, we had one of the employees stealing money and what not. So, the police where called in and shown the videos. The police where completly shocked with the quilty. They said if there was more banks that would spend the money on cameras, there would be more people caught.

    Its not always the camera, a lot of times its the VCR. Remeber, they need to capture over 16 hours of video, so most places cut the quailty down for more video time.

    Better yet, ever seen some semi-random motion web cam footage (ie non-staged) that wasn't crap?

    Sure, why not ? I have seen some pretty amazing webcams comming on the seen. There fairly cheap as well.

    Your best bet is to get a bunch of stickers from a reputable security company and plaster them everywhere. Most security systems work best as deterrents not as evidence collectors.

    Oh please, where the hell did you come up with this idea ? This is the worlds worst idea. Why ? Becuase, 16 year old drunk punks out to have "fun" don't care!

    Now, in response to this topic. I would recommend looking into some x10 cameras, they are geared towards security. Plus, rember, you will need a good ammount of light to be able to see there faces and what not.

    The best idea for finding the right stuff, is to experiment. Make sure you can exchange what ya buy.

    As far as software to power this, hehehe. I am still tring to get my webcam working on Linux :)

    I did an upgrade from rh 6.2 -> lm 7.2 a few weeks ago. It worked fine for the most part, but it didn't upgrade the librarys 100% correctly. If I run /sbin/ldconfig, there are tons of broken sym links. My voodoo 3 wouldn't work and there was a few other smaller problems.

    I am coming over to your house and installing a camera to watch everything you do every minute of the day. Will you mind ? After all, your not doing anything illegal, are you ?

    The point is, people don't like being watched when ever they go into public. I want to go out and do what I gotta do. Not have to have someone looking over my shoulder watching every move I make.

    When your driving to work in the morning, a cop pulls up behind you. Follows you for about 5 miles. What do you start thinking ? After he drives away you relize there are only 2 things that could have happened.
    - The cop was bored and want to catch you doing something. Happens everyday all day long.
    - Rarley its mistaken identity. Cop runs your plates, whats a while for the results from the DMV. Relizes everything is good, and goes on his marry way.

    Sure, I don't break the law. But, that doesn't mean that you need to follow me around all day waiting for something to happen.
