Software Suspend for Linux. I believe it will be included in the 2.6 kernel, but there's a patch for 2.4. Not only is startup quicker, all your apps are exactly as you left them previously.
This will generate a random email address at a random certified non-existent domain. Spammers should then harvest this address, sending the spam to Verisign's servers. Two for the price of one, slow spammers and cause problems for Verisign.
I work for a company that does a lot of website hosting, and last friday we transferred approx 5000 sites to another host. The TTL was set at 300 and the DNS was changed at 4pm GMT Friday 12th. Yesterday we had 294 hits from Google IP ranges to these sites.
Of course, this doesn't mean they're downloading the whole zone file, in fact I suspect they just cache all DNS records for length of time X, regardless of any of the TTL values.
That depends. Here in the UK GTA: Vice City has a '18' rating, so if the people you're giving the game to are under 18, yes there is something wrong.
Of course, what most people fail to notice or even mention about GTA:VC is that the most often mentioned 'feature' of the game, the ability to sleep with and kill prostitutes, is in no way enforced by the game. You have the freedom to do it if you want, but the game doesn't encourage it in any way.
1) It was called "Linus's Minix" from its first FTP
2) The early people were part of the Minix group
3) They forked off / created new code over control issues.
Actually, it was always called Linux on the FTP, although Linus had intended it to be caleld Freax. Whilst it's true that most of the early Linux discussion took place on comp.os.minix, Linux was written from scratch and was in no way a fork of Minix, nor did it use any Minix code.
Mutt is text-based, can't easily import the messages that I already have, and does not work under Windows -- which is the primary OS that I use personally and professionally. Therefore, it does not meet my needs.
messenger.hotmail.com always sends XFR, but gateway.messenger.hotmail.com never does. Microsoft's other notification servers very rarely send XFR - presumably, they send it when they are overloaded or going down for maintainence.
The firewall blocks all packets to/from messenger.hotmail.com. The XFR packet never gets there.
I'm not sure if you're trolling or just lacking in knowledge, but if all connections to messenger.msn.com are blocked by the firewall (ie all packets to messenger.msn.com are blocked) then DNS doesn't make a blind bit of difference.
I can't disagree more, the Nintendo d-pad is probably the greatest gaming invention of the 80s. The arcade stick you refer to was actually manufactured by ASCII IIRC, although badged as Nintendo.
There have been 0 linux security advisories in the last week. The advisories you mention are in software that can run under Linux. If you're going to count all software that runs under Linux as a Linux vulnerability, then by extension you have to include all software that runs under Windows as a Windows vulnerability.
The reason this is a big issue isn't because it's a whole in a Microsoft product, it's because it's a whole in the core operating system. Note that/. is also making a big deal of the IOS vulnerability (quite rightly). Stop screaming about bias and start looking at the facts.
Is those bloody Aussies practising sports so they can beat us (the British) yet again. Now they've got cricket, tennis, swimming, rugby and even football sorted the next sport they seem to be having a bloody good try at Formula 1. I think we're going to have to invent another sport so we can have at least a couple of years of winning the world championship in something..
Except that this will only work if your router supports proxy arp (most 'home' routers don't). Otherwise, your box just sends out an arp request for every IP you try to connect to, gets nothing back and gives up. Hardly the best Internet connectivity.
Sega's Ferrari F355 Challenge on the Dreamcast has/had this feature. Some of the times set were simply unbelievable, and it really helps to create a 'community' arround the game.
Yes, the configuration of Apache is quite different to many other programs ('wildly different' is somewhat over the top - at heart, configuring almost all Unix programs invloves editing text files).
But is the configuration process for IIS really that similar to Exchange? Not really - they're very different tasks, so in many ways this isn't really surprising.
As for support, IBM and many others will be happy to offer 24-hour help at the right-price - Free software might not cost anything to get, but it's certainly not free to run. Of course, you don't get 24-hour help for Windows by default either.
The major difference between Microsoft solutions and Open Source solutions is in terms of flexibility - instead of getting a 'black box' which you can do little to change, you can adapt the software to your business. There's no way Microsoft can compete with this under the terms of their current licensing, and ultimately this is why Open Souce software will come to dominate computing.
Pah, you Americans and your right-angle turn streets. Come to Britain and experience true street confusion - streets that turn right/left, with 'new' streets that carry on in a straight line, streets that change their name half way along, crazy one way systems and roundabouts. Seriously, non-intuitive names are a piece of cake by comparison.
Of course, I quite *like* the mad streets over here, it's symptomatic of the wealth of history this country has, and grid-layout streets IMO feel very very artificial by comparison. But then, I'm biased.

I think you disqualify yourself from being a 'real' geek by using pico..

Not only did we invent the world wide web, we invented that too, and your Al Gore *still* claims to have invented the Internet!

Trust me, it rocks. There's also Super Monkey Ball 2 out now, which means you can get the first quite cheap..

Whilst I don't know enough about your need to know if mutt meets them, it is available for Windows: http://www.geocities.com/win32mutt/win32.html

I've seen similar results, I suspect that everywhere outside America is grouped together as 'other'..
I agree, I hope they make this available on the National Health Service.

+5 Insightful my arse.
Seconded, I'd watch that show no question. Let's face it, no-one ever watched Buffy because of the deep plots..
The BitTorrent clients I've seen limit each user to 10 peers. Still, 50kb/sec for a 5kb/sec upstream isn't too shabby..

For the avoidance of doubt, the movie shows Mr. Pliskin eating a snake, as in a replite.
If it's a gay game character you're after, there's been much speculation about Ryo Hazuki from the Shenmue series..
