Happens frequently. Line workers just tap right onto your loop... Central office folks can do the same.. or they can use the functions in the switch. They often do so...
Apple is still a major pick of mine... at least, with the PowerPC. I'm kind of skeptical about the Intel bit, butI guess I'll have to wait and see it. Apple however won't let me do anything fancy with the wireless in my powerbook, nor can I let it run while closed.... there was a kernel patch for it, but apple changed the kernel to shut down after 5 minutes with the patch applied. Thanks a lot guys...
Apple's most of the way there, but not all the way...
Skin absorbs caffiene... I think it might also do the same for alchohol. It wouldn't make you drunk if that were the case, but your localized blood alcohol level would be up there in your hands, eh?
Almost a very good point. The benefit you get out of the USPS is that they do door to door, every single day. While this is in part by law (e.g. they're the only ones who are allowed to), you can imagine the cost of running a parallel network -- twice the expenses if two organizations are doing such. I'm pretty sure at.37 / letter, the profit margin doesn't exist for that to really work....
If it were a system resolver library issue, then simple services such as ping and telnet should also be affected, right? Or any other higher level application... e-mail, ftp, etc. No, I think it's a browser code selection that doesn't default. Not to say I'm certain... but I consider it a more likely possibility.
It's definitely a browser problem. The resolver doesn't do that... the browser makes the other requests after being told NXDOMAIN by the resolver. So, while the issue comes from getting the wrong DNS response, it's because the browser asked the wrong questions thereafter. This also doesn't have to do with search directives. I'm sure there's something you're saying that I'm calling differently than you mean, but it's still an issue of the browser in this case.
Why should I be demanded to have an account to read material that is available to the public at large? Anybody can get an account regardless of any circumstance, so there is no value to the user in being distinguished by that account. It's worthless, and if there's a way for me to get around it that brings about no moral qualms to me -- or what I believe would be any reasonable person... well, I'm going to do it every time, even if it takes me a bit more work.
You're just not supposed to feel old at my age... somebody please come along and talk acoustic couplers... I know I've never used those. I have whislted to a modem before, though.
No, this is one of the old classics -- it actually happened. The "payload" is a series of characters... usually meaningless. Whatever is recieved is echoed back by the other machine, data included. You could use ping the same as you use UDP... except you'd get everything back.
As for application level traffic being handled by the modem, remember this: modems worked as serial devices. Everything was sent to them as lines of text. Their control channels are in-line. A ping packet with +++ATH gets sent back right through that control channel, and then it's offlin[NO CARRIER]
You're probably spot-on. I don't really care to verify figures, but yes, radio waves travel the same speed; wavelength and other minute details aside (does that have an effect? whatever.. short response). Latency is Rount Trip Time, though... so value * 2 (after all, ping is time between sending packet and getting packet reply BACK). Roughly 40 minutes.
Everywhere around here, lights are strung above the intersections. Sometime last year in Portland, ME, I ran a red light that was obscured by a tree... instead of being strung above the road, it was on a veritcal pole on the side of the street. I only caught it because I saw the cross traffic in my rear-view mirror.
WHOA... slow down buddy. 128 bits of a secure algorithm is definitley stable. The problem is wep has more holes than swiss cheese. They took advantage of weak keys, known plaintext, expected responses... they had all the advantages in the world.
Cracking WEP is still far from cracking AES or TwoFish.
I remember reading Slashdot at a point in time when april fool's stories were mixed in with real stories, and you couldn't really tell -- and it was good.
I can kind of see this happening if George Orwell won a bet with God, but that's about it. Try harder next year.. PLEASE!
I once bought an HP ZE1115 laptop... same kind of shit... so I bought a Powerbook. Greatest thing ever. Battery lasts over 4 hours, and it's a net admin's dream machine. Also survives the abuse it gets from me quite nicely.
The moral? Stories like this seem to be rare.. see the other reply to this thread.

It was a fluke. None of us are reading your post. You didn't see anything...

Previously featured on Slashdot, I think. It's basically the old Screen Savers crowd. Very good stuff.

I blame your 'net connection for that... I have 10mbit and I'm not getting touched.

Nah.. has to be real... have you seen the foil gag? Momentary appearance just wouldn't provide enough justice...
I justs going to post a comment for the sake of noting what my .sig is...

Maybe ought to change that.
