    I clicked the link to see what you were talking about, but just got Ben Browder (John Crichton). I was like, "huh?". Then I refreshed and got Claudia. Cool, the page has different people on it each time you load.

    Maybe they are profit sharing.

    I've only seen the comercial once, but doesn't someone have a Apple laptop in the commercial? If so, why? MSN only works on Windows, right? Is Apple paying for product placement in other ads now, not just movies and TV?

    Of course I could just be seeing things.

    allow-recursion doesn't lock the name server down quite as well. It still allows queries to data that is in the server's cache.

    You can list the zones that need the allow-query any, in an included file. Then you can generate that include file with a script that just needs a list of hosted domains. So you don't have to add anything extra.

    Something like:
    #!/bin/bash

    rm named.domain-hosting

    for foo in $(cat hosted-domains | sort); do
    cat << EOF >> named.domain-hosting
    zone "$foo" {
    type master;
    allow-query { any; };
    file "zone/domain-hosting";
    };

    EOF
    done
  8. Re:And... on Internet Backbone DDOS "Largest Ever" · · Score: 5, Informative
    Ahh, in that case you'll want to add something like this:
    zone "xxx.tld" {
    type master;
    allow-query { any; };
    file "zone/domain-hosting";
    };
    The "allow-query { any; };" being the key. That overrides the more restrictive ACL for the primary use of the name server. You'll have to add that line to any zone you want to be able to be queried by the world.

    You mean like
    acl XXX {
    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/20;

    allow-query { localhost; XXX; };
    ...
    };

    That's what I do with BIND9.
  10. Re:MAC Adress and Cable Modems on Using MAC Address to Uniquely Identify Computers · · Score: 2

    Some cable modems lock their ethernet side to 1 MAC address and only talk to that one.

    My broadband fixed wireless does almost the same, but it will forget what address it is locked onto when powering off, if you want it to talk to a different machine you just power cycle.

    Of course I want multiple machines online, so I just set my main one up as a router and make sure it is the only MAC the radio sees.

  11. Re:Antec Power Supply on Tom's Hardware Compares Power Supplies · · Score: 3, Informative

    I believe that the SLs don't have ATX12V and the Trues do. Since I deal mostly with dual CPU motherboards the ATX12V is what I need.

    The TruePower series also have "bling-bling gold grills" as my co-worker put it.

  12. Re:Fireworks on Tom's Hardware Compares Power Supplies · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yeah, the new ATX specs have power going to the board as long as the cord is in the wall. I was from the AT crowd too, I had actually been taught that a power supply plugged into a grounded socket was a good thing to leave when working inside the computer.

    Luckly my surprise with the new ATX stuff wasn't as bad, I just had a machine power up when inserting a video card. No damage done.

    To keep this a bit more on topic too, most good power supplies have a hard switch (as opposed to the soft one that the ATX power button triggers) on the back that will keep all current out of the motherboard.

  13. Re:Antec Power Supply on Tom's Hardware Compares Power Supplies · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I was wondering why Tom didn't review any Antec PSes. That is all I use these days, and have been very happy with them.

    Not only do they have varible speed fans in them, but they have a 2 wire lead to run 3 case fans (I only have 2) at varible speed.

    With the front fans of the Lian-Li case that blow over the hard drives that are variable on their own, my machine is pretty quiet when doing nothing, but comes up to a nice wurr when compiling the newest glibc with "make -j2" (yes, I know it isn't parallel safe, but you only have to do it twice to catch the one file that hangs things up).

  14. Re:Atom smashers, the new hobby on Build Your Own Cyclotron · · Score: 2

    I was going to say, how is this a big deal. I too remember a friend building a particle accelerator in high school. I didn't understand that much about it, or I guess the difference between a cyclotron and a betatron. I just wanted him to build it into a backpack for me.

    One of my other friends made super conductors that operated only 2 degrees colder than the warmest ones at that time.

    Funny you didn't mention .cx. But I guess they aren't as popular as when they were free to people other than Christmas Island residents.

    Also .ws, not "web site", or "world site", Western Somoa. Oh and the newest of the bunch, .bz, has become popular because of .biz, which I'm sure makes Belize happy.

    You can find all this at http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm.

    Oh, and .io is much like .tk, but you have to pay for it.

  16. Re:Vacum Tubes on THG Looks at ClawHammer Mobo · · Score: 2

    I liked the threaded posts on the metal plate over the core on the Alpha CPUs. That served to do exactly what you want, to fasten the heat sink to the CPU, not the socket or the motherboard. But this probally will be better than the socket clip.

  17. Re:Vacum Tubes on THG Looks at ClawHammer Mobo · · Score: 2

    You mention the pressure of the heat sink on the CPU. It seems AMD has changed the heat sink mounting. I wonder if that has to do with the cracking of CPUs?

  18. Re:obvious on Tom's Investigates Hard Drive Warranty Changes · · Score: 2

    Search for "Sony TV tuner snowy picture", it is not quality you are paying for when buying Sony products. It is just the Sony name these days. For TVs go with Mitsubishi. (I own a 36" Sony Wega, the tuner went just out of warenty, luckly I use DishNetwork now and don't have cable.)

    On the other hand I do like SCSI drives (the SCA kind). I like being able to hang 15 devices off of one controller, and the ability to hotswap drives as needed.

    Typical /. thinking, you forgot the sexual partner.

    Really, though, if both people were BR then what you said would be true, same goes for RR. But if you have a BR and an RR, then you have a 75% chance of RR and 25% of BR offspring.

    But as one of the parent (did I intend that pun?) posts pointed out hair color isn't just determined by one gene, but that is a good simplification of how things work.
