My postfix setup goes even farther. Given your example:
220 mail.somewhere ESMTP Postfix HELO localhost 250 mail.somewhere MAIL FROM:test@somewhere 501 Bad address syntax
Hint: RFC821 states that address must have angle brackets like <test@somewhere>. Legit MTAs always put these in -- I've only seen bulk mailers and people telnetting omit them.
And to continue the example (with a very dumb mailer that ignores error codes):
RCPT TO:invalid@somewhere 503 Error: need MAIL command DATA 503 Error: need RCPT command From: FREE special OFFERS <sdfgo34@hotmail.com> 221 Error: I can break rules, too. Goodbye. (Connection closed)
With a progressively longer pause before the error codes are returned, to help slow down mass mailings:-P
My only gripe at that level is the new MS only MS based student information system. If you want to fully interact with it, you need to be running Windows/IE/Office. No lie! cosmos.arizona.edu.
That does suck! Looks like it uses ActiveX too, so not even Konqueror's "lie about browser type" settings are able to fool it...
Many large colleges have UNIX clusters of some form. ASU has the "general" cluster, on Solaris machines. U of A has the "U" cluster. I don't think that UNIX is going anywhere, these systems have thousands of simultaneous users and seem to be fairly stable considering all of the local accounts.
And Southwest Texas State (or whatever it's being called now) has several VMS servers... Scary.
If you're going to more or less directly quote the "Apple Switch" piss-take video on Red vs Blue then at least be honest about it;)
I was wondering if anyone would notice:) I love that video! Was going to attribute the quote in the original post but it didn't go well with the theme of the joke...
OpenBSD is a great secure server platform if you want to run... uh... OpenSSH...
It's like all the people who want a Mac for gaming. I mean, there's tons of great games on the Mac. Like Warcraft 3. And... Warcraft 3. And the little apple puzzle thingy...... photoshop?
So if you want to run a very secure SSH server, OpenBSD is the way to go! For anything else (i.e. anything not in OpenBSD's "secure by default" install, which is everything besides OpenSSH), it doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of difference what OS you run it on.
Why is Gnucash unpopular? Because 3 out of every 4 people I've talked with who've wanted to try it couldn't satisfy the dependencies for their distribution (most of these people aren't newbies to Linux either.)
Hmm, never had a problem with it on FreeBSD. Maybe you shouldn't be running Linux on the desktop...:-P
That's weird, it always worked fine for me (on about 5 different machines...). Only thing I can think of is to try building from the port with WITH_FAAD=YES (needed for newer quicktime trailers to have audio). I always use WITHOUT_RUNTIME_CPUDETECTION=YES, but that shouldn't make much of a difference. Oh, and if you're using 4.x you'll need "options CPU_ENABLE_SSE" in the kernel or it may crash on sse/mmx2 operations (not necessary for 5.0 or 5.1).
Well, POSIX 1.g defines timeout as a const. I just checked the NetBSD and FreeBSD sources, and while they don't define it as a const, both implementations make a copy to use for their own purposes and don't modify the one that the user passes (though the man pages warn that other OSes do modify it so it shouldn't be depended on for portable programs). So making those POSIX-compliant would only take a simple change to the system header files.
The man page for select on Solaris says that timeout will be modified, but it doesn't say exactly WHAT it's changing it to. I don't have a running Solaris machine right now so I can't test it to see what it does... So it seems to be the Sys-V-derived and work-alike (Linux) systems that treat timeout as non-const.
Aha! So this is the source of all those Linux-isms that cause some apps to not run right on BSD and other Unicies. Open-source ones can be fixed but I believe that this:
134 LSB permits as deprecated behavior, the return value of a successful 135 call to nice() to be 0 (rather than the new nice value). A future version 136 of the LSB is expected to require the new nice value, as specified in 137 the ISO/IEC 9945. Until then, applications need to call the getpriority 138 function, rather than rely on the return value from nice() on LSB systems.
was the source of some of the headaches VMware has been giving people... (as the BSD implementation of nice(3) follows POSIX).

This is simply a case of the brute-force approach being easier. Once confronted with a huge address space, sniffing the traffic to see if anybody's connecting to any "evil" services becomes easier than portscanning, so the ISPs will do that instead.
And since each customer (assuming they stick to the spec) gets their own/64, it's quite easy to pull the plug on a blackhat who simply hops around in his own subnet (block the whole subnet).
Most of "everyone" are windows users. What is the state of their IPv6? If it works, then most of the work is mostly done...
XP or "better". Windows 2000 does have an IPv6 stack from Microsoft Research, but it doesn't support doing DNS lookups over IPv6 so you HAVE to be dual-stacked. On a v6-only network 2k won't work.
The only hope for those of us who hate XP is that somebody will write an open source full-featured IPv6 stack for it, which the odds of are something like 0.
Yes, the 4Ls are awesome printers. Got several of those scattered around our offices. We have a 4si at work (the double-decker version of the 4L) and other than occasionally changing out toner it just works. For our small workgroup I'd take the 4si over the 8000 downstairs any day. The 8000s are nice printers for bigger groups, but seem to have more maintainance problems.
It's a shame that HP seems to be focusing on the cheaper throwaway market now (even changing their name to lowercase "hp", pretty much sums up the difference). Older HP printers are pretty much some of the higest quality machines ever built.
Ugh, I hate mopiers. Always breaking, drivers never work right (sharing off of a 2k box to an NT 4 machine caused a nice Dr. Watson every time), and people don't even use all the features... I've never seen one that all parts of actually work well.

When it gets a version number a little higher than 0.1.

I think it may originally be from here.

Monday is definately a zero.
Then is 0 odd or even?
I'm kind of surprised that the Texas constitution doesn't proscribe foreigners like Bush from being governor.
It probably does. But the Texas constitution is so convoluted that nobody here has any idea what it says anyway.

and it should have a "Reasonably Ostensible Manual" for documentation purposes. It can be distributed in a file called "PACkage-MANagement-ROM.zip"

Time to start using 4,096-bit AES session keys protected by an initial 65,536-bit DSA (or RSA if you still trust it) key exchange for my VPNs...
That ought to eat up a few of their CPU cycles.
And they'll be quite disappointed when they find out all I use it for is playing nethack over ssh.
Oh, and if you're using 4.x you'll need "options CPU_ENABLE_SSE"
Oops, meant to say this is only for P3/P4 processors.

Dude, have you tried the newest version of mplayer? It plays Quicktime better than the Windows QT player does...
You know, that actually does sound like something that would be a Russian aphorism...

His question is really "How much can I do with X box"
Well, you can play Halo... Might be able to get Linux running if you have a little bit of hardware experience.
...but none of those come with free support, nor free dev's.
And MSSQL does? Have you ever dealt with Microsoft support?
