  1. Re:I'm on an iBook now.... on More Switching Stories · · Score: 1
    I like to surf using new windows for links and then close 'em down to go back for more links.

    When you click on the link, use the command key as a modifier... in IE it opens a new window and in Chimera it can be configured to open a new tab or window. Use the shift key at the same time to put the new window behind the page you're reading.

    One desktop.

    There's a few for OS X. I don't use any but you can find them at google.

    Finder won't show .hidden files. THIS is UNIX?

    You mean just like how in my shell I have to type ls -a instead of ls? If it's hidden, there's a probably a good reason. Remember, most Mac users aren't slashdot geeks yet and they need something that works; if you can't see it or accidentally delete it it's not going to unexpectedly break. Nevermind the problem of all those silly dotfiles in everyone's home directories...

    Is it possible to get lpd running...

    Hmmm, I'm not sure. Maybe you can mess around with CUPS and see. http://localhost:631. I don't have my iBook with me, but I'm pretty sure that's the management interface's port. I'm sure there must be something in there somewhere, but I never print so good luck.

    Like you said, I love it. Jaguar is awesome.

    Actually, you could even do that using telnet if you'd like.

  4. Small doc on using stunnel to proxy your own http on Implementing an SSL-Based Network? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This might help a bit if you're already looking toward stunnel but are unsure of how everything links together.

  5. Re:I have the same problem on Learning IPv6? · · Score: 1

    The fe80::... that you see is your local link address. It's automatically created based on your ethernet card's MAC address. You can change it if you'd like but generally the host will propose that as its own address and the router will agree. In this way, DHCP-like functionality is built-in to v6.

    The CIDR notation means the same thing in IPv6, but instead of /32 it's /128. The first half is generally used for routing in the same way the current IPv4 Internet works but the last /64 is generally occupied by the linklocal address.

  6. monster.com on How Do European Techies Go America? · · Score: 1
    http://international.monster.com/ might be of some use... resources for moving to the US or out of the US.

    Other places like CareerBuilder(.com), HeadHunter(.net), and HotJobs(.com) might have more info.

    Of course I'm biased: I'm about fifteen feet from the machines that make monster work.

  7. Re:when will it be rebroadcast? on MTV's Hacker Portrayal · · Score: 2
    I'm sure somewhere on their site they've got a schedule listing. For now though they've got some clips of the guys.

    Wonder if they read /.?

  8. Enforcement is simple... on Ask Slashdot: Securing Systems you don't Manage · · Score: 1

    Or just setup access lists on your routers
    to deny incoming port 23, 25, 80, etc to all
    boxes you don't directly control.
