Surely if you like the idea of standing on the shoulders of giants, there might be some handy ideas in Solaris. Why ignore it? Because I personally don't think they have anything left worth taking after I've applied the general Unix principles. I really do think Linux is the better system by now, in all the ways that matter. But more importantly, if I'm wrong, that's OK. People who know Solaris better than I do will tell me and other people about the great things they offer. To try to figure it out on my own would be a waste of time.
Just a paragraph below your quote. And it's not like he dictates every move for Linux. If there are (and on Solaris/SPARC there sure are) better things in Solaris than Linux, I'm sure he'd welcome any improvement suggestions.
I've been successfully blocking that kind of popups with Adblock, since they all seem to come from dedicated ad servers, such as Doubleclick. As long as the ad server is different from the page server itself, blocking is just too easy.
And since, with the current business model, they cannot do it in any different way, my guess is that we'll be blocking those popups just as easy for the next one or two years.
Who needs Microsoft endorsing any of these anyway? Security professionals need forensics tools, this one looks nice, and could get nicer even with a small community.
You know, it's not always all about beating microsoft or atking the lead on any market. Sometimes you just need a tool.
Not to nitpick, but, as I need IE to use just a single website (the bank where I have my corporate account), I had to install it as the "second" browser in my Gentoo/Firefox/Thunderbird box.
Running under Wine, zero cost download, works as a charm.
Mind you, however, that I know no legalese about this. Still, I don't think that the EULA says anything about running it without Windows, as long as you make it work. $0.02.
Unless you want to test it, submit bugs or somehow get involved with the project, you shouldn't. According to the MozillaZine announcement:
"Today we have our first Firefox 1.0 candidate builds available for testing. You can get these test builds from FTP. If you've already downloaded 1.0 PR (the "feature complete" preview) and you're not really interested in testing and bug reporting, then you should probably stick with 1.0 PR for a couple more weeks and upgrade when we release the official Firefox 1.0."

Oh yeah, and then we'll find out there's a critical vulnerability in IE's mouse gestures that allows arbitrary code execution if you try to open a link in a new tab. But then again, Joe User doesn't care about current problems, why should he worry about those?;-)
No flamewars please. I just want to post it so I can say "told you so!" in a year or two.
Really, I haven't taken my time to see if any of these below is different. However, there are other ways to access a Hotmail account from an email client.

RAM modules are usually "measured" in bytes. However, RAM chips are, and have always been, measured in bits. Mainly because it used to be common configuration in RAM modules to have 8 chips, and the module's total capacity in bytes would be the same as the chip's capacity in bits.
RAM chips used to be referenced as something like "1x8x1M", which would be eight memory chips, each with one megabit, and accessing one bit of data at once.
A 512MB RAM module usually is 8x8x512M.
I'm sure I didn't get everything right, I'm working out of my memory right now, and work is a bit tight to do heavy fact-checking. Anybody pls correct if necessary.
Actually, it has already been fixed on the 'trunk' (bug 217527 - not linked 'cause bugzilla doesn't like it), but it has not yet made it to the release.
Full Disclosure: I've been a technical instructor in the Linux Sysadmin tracks for lots of vendors out there, and I might have seen the course materials for some others.
I would say IBM Linux tracks are the ones which have the most hands-on time, and the topics are pretty much what you need for administration on a medium-to-large enterprise.
Bad thing is the courses are a bit expensive and RedHat-biased, but they sure are effective.
I wouldn't say exactly your own number, but you could do a search just like that one in the post, but using your first 4 numbers and grep for your number in the results. Just to make sure some shithead didn't post _your_ number anywhere.
Now you know _I_ did it.
Yeah, I know your post was a joke, even made me giggle:) Just wanted to point that out, though.
Not really. Opteron is part of HP's strategy for 64-bit computing everywhere. The roadmap looks something like this:
- Tandem (NSK) will eventually turn to Itanium (as soon as lockstep is deployed and working fine); - Alpha and PA-RISC will evolve into Integrity (Itanium2); - Proliants (IA-32) will evolve into Opteron.
It's just that 32-bit computing is taking its last breath, and it's time to move on.
Maybe I do not have enough knowledge to know shit about this, but it looks to me that this is a standard for encryption, and it obviously would be public key encryption, and transceivers would exchange public keys to talk.
While this clearly means that now no one can sniff the SSID, is this going to be any better for those who leave it at the default? And without any kind of MAC authentication or network protection at upper levels, would knowing the SSID the only difficult imposed against abuse of the network?
Not trolling, I just want to know if stupid admins can still mess this one up.
First, it's not slower anymore... Software RAID user to eat, what, like 5% in CPU usage in the old times, but with today's fast processors, that really becomes a non-issue. Now, about the points you mentioned:
1) Hardware RAID does not NEED all disks to be exactly the same size. Of course, any exceeding size in one drive will be wasted. At least until you replace the other drive with one bigger, in which case you can still build one mmore logical drive. This happens in all modern controllers;
2) As stated above, you wouldn't need all drives to be the same in hardware RAID either. Of course, they all should speak the same protocol, so you couldn't mix and match IDE and SCSI disks. But other than that, you're pretty much doing the same thing you would with SWRAID than otherwise.
3) Hardware RAID isn't all that hard either. Depending on the controller, just pop the configuration diskette, create your logical drives and voila.
One more thing I see on HW RAID (besides hot swap, which you have already mentioned) is that rebuild is automatic and the machine doesn't crash in the event of a disk failure (which, depending on the OS, could happen in SW RAID - it preserves the data, but gives you a little less of availability). 'Course I don't think this guy is desperately nedding 24x7, but a little more avail at a little more money (considering, for example, IDE RAID) could be a plus.
I'm not against software RAID, it's great, but I just thought I would add something more to that info you are supplying.
Please don't forget that, once there is a decent standard inplace anda a widespread enough install base of players, Internet links and hard drives will be a lot more time- and space-efficient.
So yes, it would be fair to assume that someone would wait over a 30GB movie download.
Furthermore, pirates can still re-distribute, and that does not need to be via Internet. HD-DVD-RWs or low-fi rips should be easy to find by then.
Other than that, I really hope ??AA won't mess this one up.

Whoa... that is revealing... anybody else heard of that?
And no, haven't RTFA yet, but c'mon... no need to say it every time we talk about Intel.

For Astalavista, Adblock blocked it just fine. It looks like they are using http://infinite-ads.com, easy to block.
As a last resource, one can always build a custom hosts file that will block this kind of "popup".
I have to say that the embedded flash was an interesting idea, though.

I would go even further: opening a specially crafted image is automatic if it is inside an HTML page.
How easy would it be to make a website about almost anything and containing one of these babies?
On a sidenote, would Firefox on Windows be vulnerable? Does it use Microsoft's JPEG library or does it have libjpeg embedded?
Actually, it has already been fixed on the 'trunk' (bug 217527 - not linked 'cause bugzilla doesn't like it), but it has not yet made it to the release.

Hey, it could have happened!!!
Full Disclosure: I've been a technical instructor in the Linux Sysadmin tracks for lots of vendors out there, and I might have seen the course materials for some others.
I would say IBM Linux tracks are the ones which have the most hands-on time, and the topics are pretty much what you need for administration on a medium-to-large enterprise.

It's just that 32-bit computing is taking its last breath, and it's time to move on.
Now that looks like a smart move.
...dupe.
Nothing new, except for the date he pays up.
I've got another one, maybe just as useful.
I tell everybody "If you didn't write it, I don't need to read it". Works for social email. Which is from where all that crap comes from anyway.
Actually, a little bit deeper into the process, it says clearly:
"Returning Affected Memory Modules
You must return your affected memory module(s) in the prepaid return envelope that is provided with your replacement memory module(s)."
So you get the new one first. And a 32MB flashdrive if you return the old one.
Maybe I do not have enough knowledge to know shit about this, but it looks to me that this is a standard for encryption, and it obviously would be public key encryption, and transceivers would exchange public keys to talk.
While this clearly means that now no one can sniff the SSID, is this going to be any better for those who leave it at the default? And without any kind of MAC authentication or network protection at upper levels, would knowing the SSID the only difficult imposed against abuse of the network?

OK, that makes 4 cents.
Might be Red Hat or SuSE. Those are the distros that IBM sells their xSeries with.
