Does starbucks not charge for its wireless access where you live? Everywhere here it has an authentication page that you have to give a credit card number to before you can get online....

Just thought I'd note if you use a dav cgi script you can potentially utilize that to achieve quotas, depending on how much you trust your script you could make the cgi script setuid root and then authenticate against/etc/shadow (bad idea on non ssl connection btw) and from there immediately setuid to the user you authenticate as. From here standard OS quotas will indeed take effect.
The problem is if someone finds a flaw in your script then they can root your server. You would also need a farely complete WebDAV implementation in perl or whatever your using for cgi (note you can use C if youd like), perhaps the best way to accomplish this is use pam for authentication and once your authenticated (Hopefully within 40-50 lines of code at the max) immediately chroot to your directory your writing to and then setuid to your user, you've potentially increased your security vs the standard mod_dav implementation at this point as users are now within a chroot which they have no way of escaping and they are setuid to a different user so they cannot overwrite other users files.
linux quotas are managed by owner not by location, files created by apache are owned by the user the apache daemon runs as, there is a mod_setuid or something like that that may assist you however.
Just a tip, Winamp was not always free... before aol bought them it was shareware for like 25$. The only thing was it was never crippled so no one really registered it.
I concur, right no I'm sitting next to 7 filing cabinets that are each 7 feet tall and 2 feet wide and about 4 feet long filled with documents printed from a computer.
I'm using firefox right now and do not like tabbed browsing.. while i may be in the minority your statement that everyone will love it is blatantly false.
He never open sourced gnutella, he open sourced WASTE BIIIG difference between the two, thats a misprint in the article sayin that gnutella source was leaked. I personally asked one of the Nullsoft guys to leak the source code and he refused for fear of his job
Furthermore, the Nullsoft-guys already brought us the open Gnutella protocol.
Might want to check yourself on this, Nullsoft brought us the Gnutella protocol but they did not make it open. Other talented individuals reverse-engineered the Gnutella protocol. Nullsoft never released any source-code or specs.
All of this would indicate that the good people at Nullsoft are pretty cool with open source
Might want to check the license on wasabi http://www.wasabidev.org/license.php you can't even distribute the closed source wasabi.dll with what you write using that sdk, ie it is useless and windows only. It is most certainly NOT open source./p
To me it looked like they UK and EU Governments had invented some crazy software that had gone off and patented the public meeting, which is even scarier
Haha, Ya I managed to resist that urge. Instead I left her for someone slightly (although just barely) smarter. Unfortunately I have a knack for picking girls who are slower than the rest.
Let me tell you about one of the bush voters I know... It's my ex girlfriend, who recieved a 419 letter while we were going out... I advised her to delete it as it was a scam, what was her response? "You're just jealous I'm going to sent them the information they request. What do I have to lose?" She sent them her social security number right off the bat.
Local officials said UniLect Corp., the maker of the county's electronic voting system, told them that each storage unit could handle 10,500 votes, but the limit was actually 3,005 votes.
Later in the same article....
In a letter to county officials, he blamed the mistake on confusion over which model of the voting machines was in use in Carteret County. But he also noted that the machines flash a warning message when there is no more room for storing ballots.
Three words.... Digital Rights Management. The company artifically limits its products, they had multiple lines one that could do 3,005 votes and one that did 10,000 votes, they told the people in charge that they were selling them 10,000 vote machines and slipped them the 3,005 models.
I liked the polls where i live, great big poster sized interface that has a bunch of buttons with lights, they blow up the election poll to poster sized put plastic over it and put it over the inteface such that the options line up with the buttons, you push the candidates name an arrow lights up next to it, you want to change your vote press his name again, arrow disappears and you push your new choice. Worked great and was fast and easy to use.
And if you'd read that link you'd see i'm not wrong. Yes closed source modules that do all kinds of weird things with kernel internals are not ok, however porting your binary driver from windows to linux is acceptable... and what is it that we are discussing here? using binary firmware from windows (not even ported but directly from) under linux, not even touching the kernel internals. Those emails are primarily dancing around the issues behind filesystem drivers and the like.
the USA is already on its way out and has been since 2000, between outsourcing and massive spending money is flowing out of the USA instead of in. Il'l be curious to see what the next superpower is. Too bad I myself am stuck in the USA.

My ThinkPad R40 came with both, its very nice. If only it had built in 802.11g though.
They charge in louisiana last I checked. I avoid starbucks though, CC's is better and the internet is free.

See mod_suexec it probably can do what you need.

Apache runs setuid WWW unless its run setuid root then it cant write to files owned by other users, its a basic unix fundemental.

If you have access to your domain and server, in general you can use domainkeys or spf to give your isp permission to relay email for your domain.
100$, I aint buyin it either without a linux port.

You're thinking of WASTE, there never was an official Gnutella source release.

Shhhh... my liquor store is right next to airport, don't want you foiling my plan to get rich off of him now do we?
Nonetheless, I'm not as crazy as I first appear.
