...try being taken seriously at work when you have the hiccups...
There is a trick to making them go away. It takes some concentration, but you can consciously prevent your muscles from doing that to you. I wish I knew how to explain it - it's like teaching someone to burp on command - I just "know" how to do it, but I'm not sure how to explain what to do.
Every time I think that, I remember back to the time when it took forever to download an ISO
For the $35/month I'd be saving, I could just buy copies from CheapBytes and still come out ahead.
downloading a single fansub off of the usenet wasn't feasable because the parts would expire before I got them downloaded
I'm not familiar with what that is, but I don't download binaries from usenet, anyway.
It really comes down to the fact that I basically only check email and read a handful of websites anymore. I don't download the latest game demos or much else. Sometimes I download Gnome or KDE or something, but I could just let it run for a few days. Wouldn't bother me that much.
I hope I don't get in trouble for saying this. I know Congress is very concerned about the slow adoption of broadband.
I know what your saying about the ease of installing Ximian, but using KDE for comparsion was a really bad example.
I used KDE on purpose. It astounds me that there is no installer for KDE, nor is there a Red Carpet-like tool. Those are what keep me with Ximian. They are easy to use.
Yeah, sure, I can pop open a console and use apt. I don't want to have to. I like clicking on an icon and getting a nice gui with my updates. I have better things to do with my time than to root around looking for information on what to add to my sources file for apt, or to download the ton of RPMS that KDE requires, and then get all the versions right for QT/aRTS. It seems I always have trouble with QT and with aRTS.

I downloaded the Gentoo Live CD yesterday at work, but it failed to boot. I downloaded it again today (file size was 80MB bigger - should've paid more attention yesterday). I'll be trying it again when I get home. I've tried Slack and Debian, and didn't care too much for them. I like Mandrake, somewhat. Never tried Suse.
I like Ximian, and I like KDE. I find it easier to install Ximian, so I tend to use it. I don't want to go messing with all the RPM dependencies to get KDE going on my RedHat system. Ximian does it for my in a GUI wizard. Call me an idiot if you want.
We made them in college. Of course, you could only get off a few shots before you had to put it away. They were very loud, and no one much appreciated having a hole in a stop sign, a hole in their roof, a dent in their door, or destruction of basically anything you hit.
Also, apparently, when the mirror-face PowerMacs' auxiliary fan kicks on, it's described as a "leaf blower." It's a lot louder. (I haven't heard that -- the main fans are bad enough -- and it's possible that the recent firmware upgrade helped keep the leaf-blower fan mostly off.)
I love OS X. I think it is a great OS. I'd really like to have a Mac to run OS X.
But, seriously, why did Apple even release this? It's a joke. For $1499, you can get a single processor 1GHz machine. For $2699, you can get a dual 1.4GHz. They should just wait until they get the new IBM Power4 based processors. Work on laptops until then. Try to make the iMac a worthy purchase for the Average Joe.

The do have one. It's called Konstuct [kde.org].
While that looks simpler than downloading and installing packages, why not a nice GUI installer like Ximian has? I really like their combo of installer + Red Carpet. However, I like the KDE environment better.
I just find it odd that KDE is so easy to use, yet a pain to install.

One thing I have never figured out with KDE is the lack of an installer. I like the installer from Ximian for Gnome. It is simple, and it handles dependencies (moderately well).
With KDE, I have to download a ton of files, and then figure out the aRTS dependencies and whatnot. I also have to figure out how to make Linux use KDE instead of Gnome. I can do it and get it installed, but why not have an installer?
CmdrTaco is too busy to read this site, slashdot [slashdot.org], which you speak of. He and his co-workers are too busy providing the excellent editorial content which we have all become accustomed to. Do you have any idea how much work goes into editing submissions for grammatical and spelling errors? Could you even imagine what this site would look like without Rob's hard work in this area?
I'm curious to know what it is he does get paid for. I've come to the conclusion that I pay more attention to this site than he does.
So the UDP 1434 port is open when the SQL Server is started to listen all the clients with any IP address on this port. SQL Server only receives the packet from the client on this port to determine which instance the client attempts to access and return the related information of the SQL Server to the clients. Then, the clients can create the connection to the SQL Server with the protocol enabled on the server side.
There is a difference between a port being open on the machine the service is on and the port being open to the world. You should not leave this port open to the world. If people outside your firewall need access to your internal MSSQL server, you leave TCP 1433 open to selective hosts.
Because sometimes you need to connect to SQL from somewhere outside the local LAN? For example, we have SQL passed logging services running in Sydney that connect back to a SQL server in London. Of course, inbound connections are limited to the correct address range.
If you limited the IP address range, then you don't have it open. You have controlled access to the resource.
Needless to say I've been working since then to apply appropriate firewall rules accross our network to block port 1434.
What you really need to do is to assess which ports you need to leave open, and to which hosts they correspond. You need to block everything, and then set rules to enable only the ports/hosts that are necessary (open ports 80/443 to webserver, etc).
Otherwise, you'll be doing the same thing for the next worm.
It's only the fact the traffic is all destined for a certain destination port that makes it easy to filter. You are filtering it out on your firewalls, aren't you?/sbin/iptables -I FORWARD -p udp --dport 1434 -j DROP
Exactly. From the MS Security bulletin:
The risk posed by the vulnerability could be mitigated by, if feasible, blocking port 1434 at the firewall.
What the heck was it doing open in the first place?
They need to offer a choice of distro disks when you customize. To make this work, they would have to have a distro already installed, just a base one, perhaps stick redhat on there, with a typical install, just to make their lawyers happy.
I think this is a good solution. However, I think the problem with it is the users. The thing I can' get over is the people that are bothering to complain that it should be Debian instead of RedHat. What the Linux users need to do is buy the damn thing and install their own. They need to recognize that what they are really wanting is a laptop with Linux hardware support and no Microsoft tax.
The whole "I want SuSE instead of RedHat" thing is pathetic. Take a good thing when it is offered.
It would be easy to manipulate what went into your product if you didn't have to trace it all the way back. If 'A' is a bad thing that you don't want to disclose, then combine it with 'B' to make 'C', and only list 'C' as part of what went into your product. Even better, form a subsidiary to buy 'C' from, and you don't even know anything about 'A'!
The point is that they were basically told to stop. They have already done something, and they are getting off without punishment. That's what I don't get with all of these cases. They always get told "You broke the law. Do it again and we'll punish you." Punish them the first time. That will prevent someone else from coming along and doing what they did.
I just don't understand why you get one "free pass".
A producer would be required to put a sort-of "nutirition-information-style" label on all its products detaililng the environmental impact of its manufacture.
Perhaps we should also include a run down of the factories that it was made in, so as to avoid nasty things like child labor. Also, we should include similar information for the materials that went into the product. We should make sure that all information is traced back to the origin of the substance. We wouldn't want to find out that the substance that went into the substance that is used in making CDs was mined by children who get emphysema from the mines.
Now, I hope Best Buy, CompUSA, et al have the shelf space to add a 1000 page tome next to each and every product. I also hope that consumers can get a little more time off work so they can read all of this information about every product they buy. I hope that extra time off work doesn't mean that companies have to employ children in Malaysia to type up and print this new information.
So, based on your comment, am I correct to assume that you think that we should get rid of the drinking age, the law against selling porn to minors, and ratings on movies? This new proposal is basically the same thing. There's nothing wrong with the law. The parent can choose to let their child do it or not do it. That's the way it should be.
4. Novell Zenworks will require an NT server or a Novell server, and the version that I used put all the files in NDS. You couldn't edit them or do much with them after you did a scan. WinInstall blew them out of the water.
It is very customizable. You can edit the contents of the files, change out files, edit the registry/ini settings, etc. I found it to be a PITA to use, but you can manipulate it after the scan.
