Time for them to switch to FreeBSD. With mirrors all over the world I don't have to worry about where to go for the source.
However, any fire destroying the building is a *bad* thing and if it's arson I hope they pin his nuts to the wall. I hope the data in the NOC is restored quickly.
I'll stick with FreeBSD thanks. And then there's OpenBSD and NetBSD for fully implemented IPSec and IPv6.
FreeSWAN barely talks to anything but itself, yet I can get FreeBSD's IPSec to talk to Cisco routers and do other things. Other things that are well-documented too, and there are no physical tussles over the code and where it goes.
For FreeBSD, I add IPSEC, IPSEC_DEBUG, and IPSEC_ESP to the kernel, recompile and install the kernel, and I'm ready to go. Adding IPv6 support is equally simple.
Plus, most of the applications that I use (mail, irc, ssh, etc...) already use both tcp4 and tcp6 sockets.
You linux guys are still lagging (IMO) with IPSec.
I had scheduled for the cable modem install the day before I was to leave town for a business trip. They called the afternoon of the install and tried to back out... the next install date they had open was something like a week later when I was gonna be out and I wasn't about to let anyone install anything on my computers.
So I begged and pleaded and threatened (in no particular order) and they agreed to come out the next day.
The next day arrived, and one guy was there to climb the pole and the other was there to do the networking stuff. Immediately they notice I had the wrong cable in my house and rewired it. They did it fast and cleanly, too. Nice job.
I gave the keyboard jockey my temporary win95 partition to play on, he did his thing, rebooted, verified access and was pleased. So was I.
As a gesture of gratitude I offered them a beer. The keyboard jockey agreed and all was well. The pole climber politely declined. Both were good guys and professional.
After they left, I rebooted in linux and set up lunix. Ran great. Now I run FreeBSD. Runs better.
The rate of heat transfer from the flame to the paper is less than the rate of heat transfer from the paper to the water. This is why the water boils before the paper burns.
If you boil off too much water then the water cannot absorb the heat, then paper heats to combustion, then the paper burns.
I used to make nylon for demonstration when I was in school years ago. Hellifi could do it again. It required two liquid monomers creating a phase boundary where the reaction occured.
But the gist was this: Pour the denser of the monomers in a flask (30ml is sufficient) and pour the other monomer on top (use equal amount). The two will mix at the phase boundary. With tweezers, reach in and pick up the center of the polymer created at the phase boundary and pull straight up and spool around a pencil or cylinder. Since the reaction occurs at room temperature and at where the two liquids meet, the two will make nylon.
IIRC one of the monomers was a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).
NAME
fold - fold long lines for finite width output device
SYNOPSIS
fold [-bs] [-w width] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
The fold utility is a filter which folds the contents of the specified files, or the standard input if no files are specified, breaking the lines to have a maximum of 80 columns.
The options are as follows:
-b Count width in bytes rather than column positions.
-s Fold line after the last blank character within the
first width column positions (or bytes).
-w width
Specify a line width to use instead of the default 80
columns. Width should be a multiple of 8 if tabs are
present, or the tabs should be expanded using expand(1)
before using fold.
Read about natd... and you could prolly use the fwd command to forward rules, doing transproxy stuff.
As far as your rules above, to track usage, you do need to specify inbound and outbound...
ipfw add tcp from ${ip} to any 80
ipfw add tcp from any 80 to ${ip}...should do it.
I only started doing it as a way to learn how to do it.
I began with a working ipfw/natd firewall script and added in the dummynet stuff... Funny how if the wife is holding out, I can restrict her bandwidth with a few clicks. Netsurfing at 14400bps is the pits... but it worked... that's another story.
Then I saw queues... and what kind of power they had. I realize I'm only scratching the surface of using queues with DUMMYNET, but I wanted some flexibility of which ports I could prioritize and I didn't want to rewrite a fixed script every time.
The result is at http://bsdvault.net. The beauty of my script is that it doesn't limit the user to a fixed number of queues. Luigi Rizzo seems to think thousands of queues are possible with a very minimal performance hit.
potentially I could modify the script to limit certain ports at certain bandwidths... I am only scratching the surface.
I don't have the problem of the photographer charging me for prints. As a part of his service he didn't make an album of proofs, he just handed me the proofs.
If i want a print of them i can scan them at hi-res and have them printed by an online-digiphoto printer for much less.
Since *NIX supports postscript right out of the box I bought an HP 1200 laserjet for $390. The printing is very good and i had it printing in ten minutes with FreeBSD.
I've also used ghostscript to print to my color Epson 400 inkjet (now retired) without any problems.
And we all know that. Technical solutions will curb spam. Solutions for users and consumers like Brightmail ans spamcop are steps in the right direction.
Now if only all the mail server admins (corporate and private) of the world get their collective brains together and start blocking all the spame using any combination and permutation of RBL possible, spam might not make it into our mailboxes.
SPEWS blocks ISPs. I like that. I don't receive crap from certain domains anymore since using SPEWS. I also don't accept mail from hotmai, yahoo, lycos, and many other free web-based email services except from whitelisted users.
At work I get about 15-20 spam emails daily from an old work email address when the company changed named two years ago. If only the HMFIC of email would block off that domain i'd receive none. Laws won't help in this case because the email server is located in another country. Only a technical solution.
I'm so sick of spam I run my own mail servers and filter the crap out of all mail. I receive on average 1 spam per week in my inbox. All the rest gets rejected or filtered into a spam filter that i oly perue occasionally, but I don't see it in my inbox.

Subject says it all. I block so much spam by using spews.
I bet it doesn't have a winmodem.
It's crap like that I don't buy from certain vendors.

You need FreeBSD to get you out of RPM hell. It takes far less effort to upgrade software on FreeBSD than it does with any RPM-based lunix distro.
Getting out of RPM hell was the main reason I chose FreeBSD over lunix.
See the photos here!

I even took some screenshots of the movie I was watching at the time: Planet of the Apes. Ogle worked great and included chapter support.
Unfortunately, there was a kernel bug and depending on the DVD, the kernel would panic.
However, I'm tempted to try Ogle again sometime soon.
Sounds like the Stamp Act of 1765 I was referring to here.
I can't wait for someone to submit this story in a week and it gets posted again.

Of course, you get what you pay for.
I bought the same printer for those same reasons. Excellent printing capabilities at a reasonable price.
Since *NIX supports postscript right out of the box I bought an HP 1200 laserjet for $390. The printing is very good and i had it printing in ten minutes with FreeBSD.

Meg Ryan has nano-hooters anyway.
Like Linuxgruven?
I learned that you're also supposed to put spaces in the elipses. . . like that.
I wish you programming fucknuts figure out how to use units... we've lost a lot of expensive space equipment because dumb software engineers.
km^2 (square kilometers) != sq/km (square/kilometer)
And if only the slashdot editors would... shit, i'm preaching to the choir, aren't I.
The solution? Post everything to Google!

Keep going SPEWS - it's a great system.
