    Here is a more detailed version:

    1. We will contact you by e-mail within 72 hours to let you know that we have received your application. This is not an automated mailing, it is a real response from a human being.
    2. We will review your application within one week of application and decide if we will invite you to participate. You will again be personally notified, this time by e-mail or telephone, of our decision.
    3. If you are not chosen to participate, we will tell you why, and we will destroy all records of your application and our communications with you. The only information we will keep is a paper list of who applied and was rejected, and why.
    4. If you are chosen to participate, you will be sent more info on the wargame research project.
    5. You will need to prepare yourself by following the instructions, and schedule a time with us to complete your hack. We will send you all of our direct contact information so you can talk to us directly to answer any questions that you might have.
    6. If you intend to use any Windows box(es) during your hack, you will need to download the free demo version of the CamTasia screen recorder program (15.4MB) from our FTP server [ anonymous login to ftp.hackerwargame.org ] or from the author's commercial website if you prefer. Install the program ahead of time, and play with it a bit to ensure that you know how to use it. It's very simple, and the defaults will work, but you can optimize your output and file size by turning off hardware acceleration and setting your desktop resolution to 800x600 at 16bpp color. We don't recommend recording at 24-bit or 32-bit color since this will result in very large files in the Gig range rather than a few MB.
    7. If you intend to use any *nix box(es) during your hack, you will need to start off by running the command "script -a /log.txt" which will pipe everything from STDOUT and STDERR to a plain text file (adjust the logfile path to wherever you want). Hit CTRL+D when you are all done to close the logging. Check man script to learn more.
    8. If you intend to use a Apple/Mac during your hacks, you're kind of on your own regarding how you're going to produce logs for us, but Snaps Pro X works well under OS-X, and a plain text file with a LOT of typing might work.
    9. Prior to the hack, you will need to get your computer(s) ready for the hack. This includes downloading any tools you intend to use, checking your internet connectivity, and letting us know what IP address(es) you will be coming from. If you receive dynamic address(es) you can notify us of your address just before the actual hack time. To make it easier, you can also get a free account with a free dynamic IP tracking service like NO-IP.com (or any other that you prefer) which will give you a domain name that tracks your dynamic IP address, which we can use to set you up in our IP filter.
    10. At your arranged date and time, you will need to synchronize all of your computer's times to our network so that we can match up logs. We will give you a webpage where you can do this easily, or you can use any standard NTP utility since our network is synchronized at Stratum 2 to the US Atomic Clock. You will then begin your hack by sending us an e-mail to a specific address telling us that you are starting. You will be notified of the wargame's IP address prior to your scheduled hack time.
    11. During the hack, you will log which goal you are attempting to accomplish. This can be done quite simply by typing, for example:
    10:21:42.15>echo SQL goal
    SQL goal
    10:21:42.15>
    in a DOS box or on the *nix console. Note that your command prompt needs to show the time so we can synchronize our logs. On *nix this is done by setting PS1=$t> and on Windows boxes by typing prompt $T$G
    It will also be helpful if you kept a notepad or plain text file open in which you can write notes, paste information that you have gathered, etc. The more loggi

  12. Market Approach.. on HP Offers Linux Purchasers Indemnification · · Score: 1

    Thats what it is.. of course its very smart from HP. Look at it, if you were an IT admin, who was planning to install a linux cluster, after SCO's move, ofcorse you would either consider other solutions, or delay your plans, but now you have one more option, get it from HP (ahhm, not IBM)...
    but i like it, its good, and ofcorse it proves to us that SCO is bullshiting.

    Even if you had it to run on RH 6.2-7.3, it was still unstable. I am a great borland fan when it comes to Cbuilder and Delphi, but Kylix is not for the enterprise, it barely passes the individual standards.

My team and i are responsible to get the app.'s on Unix to be up and running on the cluster... BOTTOM LINE he is partially right...but not quite

    And after looking at his website, and skimming through his art work (which he claims is in the game), i cant see a single one of the images that i have seen in the game, or at least remember i have seen. One thing to mention though is that they both have the same approach of drawing, but they are not copied or scanned as he says, the images in GTA are toally different, as i recall.

  24. Linux for simulators..... on Linux And Innovative Simulations · · Score: 1

    I work with a firm that had simulators running on AIX nodes. This company decided to switch and have their simulators run on Linux...took some time, but it was worth the effort. we had them uip and running in about a year tog et them running n a Red hat Linux cluster, but the result was reduced simulation times with almost 30% (never thought that would be result neither.)

    After looking at other companies that provide alike simulators, we found out that all of them are adobting linux actually, which makes me quite comfortable (regarding that SCO hype, the more larger firms adobt linux, the more IBM will fight back i presume)

    they did that, so that they can save their asses before MS invades their market share with its smart phone. They felt threatened, but Nokia ofcorse wouldnt like to have standards being put upon it knowing that its dominating the cellular phone industry. But it had to come up with something to protect it from MS eating up its marketshare.
