    8 was the first disk drive, 1 was the tape drive.

    I can't remember what the second 1 was (ie 1,1), but I do remember that if you did a directory of a disk and left the second 1 in it carked it...

    You could always have done SHIFT + RUN/STOP and it would do a LOAD and then RUN straight away.

    I think I'll shut up now......

    I don't have any compilers or development tools on my production boxes. You're an idiot if you do. So, to upgrade, I have to install gcc, make, etc., then recompile, then remove all that crap again.

    Why not compile it on one of your non-production boxes, package it up and install onto production?

  7. Re:Yes CmdrTaco on Virus Piggybacks Microsoft Mail Worm · · Score: 1

    nice attempt... but the tech note you linked has nothing to do with the latest Klez/Chernobyl hybrid.

    This note details the Klez virus and the appropriate fixes. And that note talks about this which details the problem of running scripts in the preview pane and the fix for that (IE 5.5 anwyay) supersedes the fix for the vulnerability you mentioned.

    We know that O and OE have huge security problems, and that MS should've have shipped them... but what are they to do now? They release security updates that get installed nicely() via Windows update, but people have to know they are there. So they provide some software that tells you when there are new security updates available.
    the only sure way to get the updates onto people's computers is to force updates down onto people, /. and other geek sites would be up in arms about MS taking over your computer.

    So they shouldn't have released such software, but the "genie is out of the bottle"* and they have to do something, and no matter what they do they get flamed for it...

    So in conclusion MS still sucks etc.... and I think I have just responded to a troll...

    thank you and goodnight [:

    I got around some rendering issues by pointing the blocked sites at my linux internet gateway instead of 127.0.0.1 and set apache's 404 directive to return either a HTML page with a black border, white background and the word 'oops' in centre or a gif/jpg of the same thing.... works a treat

    Why is myth continuing to circulate?

    The iMacs has a fan in them.... between the monitor and the actual 'cage' that holds the computer?

    Has Apple's marketing got everyone brainwashed? Or is it that no one here has used/owned an iMac, let alone taken it apart?

    I hounded the sysadmins until they changed it.

    It is still the MS Proxy using the domain to authenticate, but not it will also accept basic authentication.

    I can now use Opera/Mozilla/Netscape plus the numerous array of other 'internet aware' apps, such as Audiocatalyst (for CDDB access), United Devices (Distributed processing) and of course Lynx on my Linux Box.

    How many apache servers run on windows?

    I got no idea, I admit it.

    ....but, is the attacks on IIS because of the platform? No, it is because IIS has holes to be attacked.

  22. Re:Cluley clueless on Slashback: Snapshots, Amends, Bazaarity · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I believe Apache runs on the same platform as IIS.

    This issue has nothing to do with the platform, it is about the service, ie. web server. IIS and Apache both run on Windows boxes, how many malicious worms have we seen that attack Apache on Windows?
