The weekend is almost over and still no torrent for the new Knoppix which made its debut at CeBit. Can someone get on this? NTFS write support and the option to use a 2.6 kernel have me drooling.
And no purple bridge to play with! Anybody else breeze through the blue maze area? I must have went through that area a thousand times when I was a kid.
Firebird is good stuff. I just migrated an NT/Interbase server to Linux/Firebird and everyone is extremely happy with the results. The daily administration consists of a single cron to GBAK(up) the database. There wasn't any configuration to speak of. Just install the thing and start talking to it.
I actually had the local bookstore order that one for me. It's the most recent book on the topic. Unfortunaltly, it really is just for Windows admins. After a quick skim I passed. I'm hoping Oreilly has another one in the barrel.
I'd love a new Samba book. There aren't any books on the market that deal with the latest implementation of Samba. None of the books describe in detail the Samba configuration tool SWAT. I'm hoping that a publisher will start work on this moving target.
I couldn't agree more. An ISP's job is to assure quality of service. People that see DSL.net's reaction as heavy-handed, clearly haven't seen the dramatic problems these worms have caused. And isn't this fair? They are only shutting down the hosts causing the problem, leaving everyone else with the full service they paid for. My ISP is blocking port 80 for everyone, with no exceptions. This is effective, but also unfair to diligent customers. This problem needs to be fixed at each infected host, and not bandaided at the routers. What better way is there to both shield our public network and insure that hosts are patched?
I'm alarmed(and worried) by a lot of the current and future privacy issues echoed here at slashdot, but this one seems ok to me. I guess we all have our line to draw in the sand. Moreover, if I've learned anything about tech, it's that it can't be stopped. You can only hope to regulate somehow.
Of all the scary surveillance tech that's coming down the pike, I think this worries me the least. For one thing, they are surveying on their own private property. I also doubt that they will do anything but closely monitor someone they have deemed a shoplifter. Where's the problem?
If the internet is for slandering people anonymously than I think I have a pretty good example. Here you can find one of Kevin's production assistants venting about what an A-hole he is. If you're a fan or not, this is a pretty good read.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) isn't. The protocol's problems are a result of misunderstanding of some cryptographic primitives and therefore combining them in insecure ways. These attacks point to the importance of inviting public review from people with expertise in cryptographic protocol design; had this been done, the problems stated here would have surely been avoided.
After reading/. for awhile you start to get calloused to the idea of throwing linux on everything with a processor. What the author is proposing requires that you think bigger. Corporate development, streamlined interface, bootable CD/DVD.
"grandpa, when you want to check your email put this AOL disk into here and press power, ok?" I suppose they could sell the CD/DVD with a mouse and keyboard. If it's done by some hackers, so be it, it would be Sony's loss.
I don't think you understand the point of the article. The idea is that if AOL & Sony want to combine efforts they can make an idiot-proof version of linux. One with just email, web browser and a link to connect to AOL. That's it. Think kiosk.
So if you want to play a ps2 game just start it up with a ps2 game in the tray. Want to browse or send email? Just pop in that in that AOL CD/DVD. This disk would boot linux, but who would know?

mmm.. supper.
I believe it was misspelled for legal reasons.
Block Windows Update? Replace it with your own? I'd love to learn more but can't seem to find anything. It sounds too crazy to be true.
Those links are old and refer to DivX, not DivX ;) Where have you been for the last 5 years? Remember Circuit City? Sheesh!

Thanks to Assman I sleep at night knowing my daemons are safely locked up.

It's called VIM.
Wrong!
From the ChangleLog
Supported arches on 2.4: ARM, i386, and SH
Supported arches on 2.5: i386 and SPARC64
This patch is for IA32/x86 only.

That's interesting?

What a great summation!

First they ignore you...
Then they laugh at you...
Then they fight you...
Then they become a portal?
This sounds interesting but I'm saving up for IT(codename Ginger). As far as I'm concerned this is too little to late. How will it compete? It won't.
