If you can ssh to your home machine from work, look at the -R option on the ssh manpage. It lets you set up reverse port forwarding, using which you can tunnel back in from home. If outgoing port 22 is blocked, run your ssh server on port 80 or something. If you still can't figure it out, reply to this thread and I'll post the script I wrote to do this.
Sure, you can insert whatever layer you want in the network stack, but the point here is, how can you trust the rest of the stack if you don't know what's in it? How can a government/organization/individual be sure that Microsoft didn't put in backdoors into their software?
Use Gotmail, which downloads your hotmail messages to an mbox-style file. Or use hotwayd which appears like a POP3 server running on localhost, and uses WebDAV to get messages from hotmail (like Outlook Express). Either way, no web-bugs will get activated.
The added advantage is that you can pipe these through procmail/spamassassin just like ordinary incoming mail, and not have to manually delete all that spam.
Tridgell says that he recently discovered a certain combination of data which, when sent down the wire to a Windows server, rebooted it.
"Every NT server just completely rebooted. We decided not to emulate that."
It is amazing how confidently people spout wrong information, analogies and all. I wish there were a (-1, wrong) moderation available.
IP has no concept of port numbers - it is a network layer protocol and its job is to deliver packets from one IP address to another. It acts as a "carrier" for other protocols like TCP, UDP, or in this case NVP. To identify this super-protocol, the IP packet has a field for the protocol number. TCP = 6, UDP = 17, NVP = 11. So if an incoming packet says protocol #6, it is passed up to the TCP handler; if it says 17, it is passed to UDP.
Now the TCP/UDP/whatever protocol is free to use whatever means it finds fit to identify the actual process that is the destination of the packet - this is what port numbers are used for. So IP delivers the packet to a certain host, and then the next-level protocol looks at the port number in that packet to figure out which process it should be fed to.
It should be clear now that port numbers have nothing to do with protocol numbers.
I wouldn't know - I am using a Compaq Presario 2700T laptop with a 1GHz Mobile P3 processor and 256 MB memory. I just did a complete recompile, with moderate web-browsing etc going on simultaneously, and the total build time, including download time was:
real 84m41.180s user 49m45.300s sys 10m22.790s
Maybe you have a slow network connection or something?
As always, if you want to give the latest Gnome a whirl without messing up your existing system, try Garnome It takes a while to build (about an hour on my 1.0 GHz PIII), but it doesn't touch your existing install - everything goes into ~/garnome.
Comment from Stewart Brand, the guy the "Information wants to be free" quote is attributed to: On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other.
If you look here, you'll find all the software that Cygwin offers. This includes shells like ash, bash, and yes, tcsh. It also includes all development libraries, so you shouldn't have any trouble compiling something else like zsh either.
My problem is that SMTP has no authentication that I can find that would allow me to let him use our SMTP server from wherever he was
Yes it does. Read
RFC2554, SMTP AUTH. To quote: "SMTP AUTH is "..an SMTP service extension [ESMTP] whereby an SMTP client may indicate an authentication mechanism to the server, perform an authentication protocol exchange, and optionally negotiate a security layer for subsequent protocol interactions."
And people from the US are not called Americans, but Christians, even though not everyone practises Christianity, right? You, sir, are either an idiot, or very misinformed. And worse is the moderator who modded this insightful. Geez.
Booted "Mac OS 9 Install" disk. Used good old-fashioned tools to wipe hard drive and repartition. (Three partitions: 35 gigs, 30 gigs, 10 gigs. Plus a little one at the front, left unformatted -- I hear Linux needs something like that, and I can certainly spare a few megabytes just in case.)
I guess he's talking about the 1024 cylinder limit on older BIOSes, which crippled earlier versions of LILO, so the kernel image had to be on a partition within the first 1024 cylinders (usually 512 MB) of the hard disk.
But I thought that was an x86 platform specific issue. What kind of bootloader do the Macs use?
Whatever happened to "Use the right tool for the job" ? There still isn't a language half as expressive as Perl, for things like text manipulation. Sure Java has a regular expression library, but things like in-place text substitution, and a myriad of other conveniences are built into Perl - that would just be painful to do in Java (which I understand fairly well), or C#/VB (which I know little about, admittedly).
Yes in AI they have been useful - LISP was made for this purpose actually. Although I do like Prolog a lot more.
Which, incidentally, is not a functional language at all, but one of the Declarative programming paradigm. However, it is possible to use it for functional programming.

Why? The compiler seems to be doing the sane, safe thing here. Why are you trying to do a compile as root anyway?

12 vowels and 36 consonants.
Wow. Unlike all the other languages which have the same grammars and idioms.
You are wrong.
Yeah, it's a slow day at work.....why else am I replying to AC's?
If you want to see what this "product" looks like, take a look here. I wouldn't be seen dead with this thing, if you ask me.

Japan wouldn't be too amused at being called a nuclear power.
Except there is no .sp domain. The country code for Spain is .es (for España).

"rtsp://" protocol, something only realnetworks software can understand
Wrong. RTSP is an open protocol. You can read RFC2326 here. Multiple implementations already exist, including an open-source one.
