Mark Crispin, is that you? This sounds just like comments that were littered all over comp.sys.next.advocacy years ago. Yah yah, we know you hate NetInfo just because you weren't the one to invent it.
Oh, come on. This solution is so obvious even my mother thought of it. She had never even heard that anyone was actually doing it, and not long ago she emailed me asking me if I could set it up for her. She had the whole idea down, and was certain it was something that she had just come up with.
I keep one of those hermetically sealed AOL floppies in my glove compartment. Unfortunately I can't get them anymore. So far I haven't yet had to use up the last one I have.
It's amazing the number of times I've been at someone's house and I need to make a boot floppy and of course they don't have any blank floppies available. I've had to unseal quite a few of those blank floppies to save someone's computer.
Agreed. At least since the 2.4 kernels I've had a real problem with it. I use NFS to mount to OPENSTEP and Liberace, and I've had nothing but problems. A 2.2 kernel works fine, but the 2.4 kernels have problems with UDP packets larger than 1k (and often even that large) and it causes SEVERE timeouts when trying to write to a file.
No, it's "Dude, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm afraid you've been hacked -- the FTP server at 127.0.0.1 has all your personal files. See for yourself; just log in with your normal id..."
Ok, I just IM'd my friend with that one thinking he'd get a laugh out of it. Not quite I think:
[20:03] Diabolik: damnit [20:04] Diabolik: I get connection refused [20:04] Diabolik: how are you ftp'ing in to my computer [20:04] FozzTexx: I'm not [20:05] FozzTexx: I pasted it from a slashdot thread about spam [20:05] FozzTexx: It was in an article about having fun with newbies [20:05] Diabolik: you need quotes [20:05] Diabolik: don't give me heart attacks
And a couple of variations that came to mind:
"Check it out by right clicking Network Neighborhood, choosing Find Computer and enter 127.0.0.1. Double click a share and log in with your normal id..."
"Check it out by going to Finder and Connect to Server 127.0.0.1. Log in with your normal id..."
Send it to my friend! He's got a//e and 5.25" drives but NO SOFTWARE! I've been trying for ages to get him to do something with that thing!

i seem to recall something about logic gates or some sort of logic being built out of matchboxes and beans. it played tictactoe, deciding the best move by plopping out a bean of a certain colour? i can remember neither the details nor the source.
I've seen it in a book by Martin Gardner, the game was called Hexapawn. A quick search on google should turn up more details.
There's a better sockets wrapper at http://fozztexx.com/FZBase/. It's multi-threaded which allows your program to receive data while it's interacting with the GUI, and also doesn't require you to mutilate your stock system just to compile it.
NeXTSTEP 3.1 and above was on four architectures. When they went to OPENSTEP they dropped the HPPA support.
I always compiled all the stuff I released for every architecture, because it was so easy. There were a couple of times there were bugs in gcc which caused different behavior on different architectures, but 99.9% of the time if you tested it on one, it was tested on all.
The real need for testing comes when you're recompiling the same sources for different variants of OPENSTEP. Fixx'm, an irc client runs on OPENSTEP, OpenStep Enterprise (Win32), and several versions of Liberace (OS X). They are all built from the same sources checked out from the same CVS repository, but there are a few #ifdefs here and there to deal with different quirks in each OS.
While OpenStep made it pretty easy to cross compile, there were always apps that just weren't available for your platform (particularly NEXTSTEP for HP Apollo machines.)
Yes, but in most cases this was because the developer (<cough>Frame<cough>) was too stupid to click the little check box in PB next to the other architectures when doing a build.
You're confusing terms. You want NFS. NFS is what you use to export the files from the server and have them automatically mounted on the client when the computer boots up.
Whenever you see a lack of continuity, it's because in one of the time travel episodes (pick one) they went back and changed their history, and now all that stuff never happened.
You mean it's my software that's decaying? And all this time I thought it was logs filling up that I hadn't gotten around to adding to the automatic pruning mechanism...

Your firewall would block address spoofing from the inside, but not from the outside like in this case.
Um, that's what my firewall does do. If a packet arrives on my external interface that claims to be from an IP on the internal LAN, it's gonna drop it. It's clearly spoofed.
Webcasters will be charged at a rate that amounts to 70 cents per song for each one thousand listeners, the U.S. Copyright Office announced on its Web site.
So why not just adjust the server code like so? Change:
No kidding. I run a network of Win2k machines (served by a Samba PDC), and I have all the machines locked down tight. Unfortunately, everytime the boss-man says "I want my users to run this app" that app is one that thinks all users are Administrator.
I just had to hassle with QuickBooks last week. I spent an hour on the phone with them trying to figure out why it would only half run. The "support" guy kept telling me to try it as Administrator instead of a regular user. Sure enough, it ran fine. So I told him then it has a serious bug because it expects the user to be an Administrator. His response was "Our program requires Administrator capability and it's not a bug." WTF?!?!? Why the hell does a stupid accounting program think it needs Administrator capability?
This seems to be an unbelievably common problem: lazy ass programmers that are used to DOS and Win9x just merrily go out and fuck with things they shouldn't, and don't even bother to make note of what they're doing. They're completely clueless that the user may not be an Administrator and may be logging into a network.
What you need is something known as a "server." A server is where you can store all your files, and in some cases, account information.
With the right kind of server, it can do AppleShare, NFS, and SMB, allowing all your other machines to mount the shares and make them appear as local drives. This keeps all your data in one place, allowing for easy backups, and also makes it easy to get at the same files from any computer.
My personal preference is a Linux computer with several cheap IDE drives each on their own IDE controller (no slave drives). The drives are configured as software RAID 5 and ext3. Regular backups are setup through cron to a tape drive. Samba handles file sharing, printing, roaming profile, and PDC duties for Windoze. Netatalk 1.6cvs handles file sharing duties for pre-OSX systems. NFS is used for file sharing to *nix systems. The only thing I'm missing is a NetInfo daemon for Linux so it can act as a complete configuration server for NeXTSTEP, OPENSTEP, and MacOS X systems.

Now how am I going to be able to use the KNE110TX in my Beige G3? Kingston only made drivers for OS9, and OSX doesn't see it for some reason.
