You're right, it takes more. Most of it was supplied
by the Universe via the force of gravity
in the creation of higher elements.
Humans just exploit that stored energy.
Using iptables means you know what's going on.
Well, at least you have a better chance.
That can be very helpful if you have Windows
boxen behind your firewall. You never know
when some builtin trojan crap from Redmond
will attempt to suck something off the net
that could be infected. That doesn't mean
it can or will happen, but the less unknown
net traffic going on, the better I say.
Firewalls do work both ways fortunately.
I use AVGuard
because it's free. It caught something once,
which may have been a false positive, and
it is thorough. Otherwise, I don't worry
about virii because I don't use m$ lookout!
I also recommend iptables on a linux firewall.
Never had a virus yet (knocking on wood).
so your job sucks, management sucks,
but hey it's a job, right?
I'm not so sure anymore when it comes to IT.
Thanks to m$, TPTB think that programmers
are a commodity, to be treated as a number.
Since there are so many 'programmers' that
SUCK at programming, I can see why
that attitude exists.
Good managers are few and far between, as I
can honestly say I've only had 3 solid managers
in 25 years. I'll end my rant by saying
'hang in there', as I've been out of work
over 6 months. (Still hacking every day!)
Yes, I experienced the cookie problem
yesterday. Earlier today, I believe slashdot
was/.-ed. So, a site status page would be
nice, but it would need to be separated from
the main site.
I'd rather spend the time loading software and experimenting with whatever-it-is I'm currently
investigating. (Okay, breaking whatever-it-is I'm currently investigating, if you want to be pedantic.)
At least with Linux, if you break it, and then
fix it, you did learn something.
Compare to Windows, you may break it, but you
may not really know how you broke it, quite often because it wasn't really your fault, and the fix then is
to re-install, which means you learn nothing.
Just to see what it was, I just installed
SuSE 7.3 (kernel 2.4.10) on a old Pentium
with a 4 GB harddrive.
Using Yast (non-GUI mode), I picked the
'mimimum system' option. From start to root
prompt was 20 minutes. Not counting the/boot
and swap partitions, used space in / was around
350MB.
Because websites are not permanent enough.
There definitely needs to be multiple
distributed permanent copies made.
Otherwise, down the road, history could
just mysteriously change.
Which means if I have no phone, and
no internet access, I can't use XP.
I'm a hermit living in the boonies,
on solar power.
But I *want* to use XP, is Microsoft
going to supply me with transportation
into the nearest town so I can call
their toll-free number so I can activate XP?

Gives new meaning to the term cluster-fsck.
And therefore it's OK then? My god, people are really getting brainwashed these days.
It doesn't matter if your IP address is static or dynamic, with XP they have your CD-CODE that you installed with!
In other words, I don't fsck'n trust m$.

Would the bug be known as 'F00F F00F'?
Very appropriate. Add "DMCA" as the 'brand name' on pulled down pants.
If this trend of corporate abuse is allowed to continue, eventually your brain will be illegal under the DMCA.

That may be a version specific problem as attaching multiple files simultaneously with Netscape 4.7 under win98 works using the CTRL key.

I don't know about other distros, but SuSE is very close.

It *IS* a benchmark program. Look closely.
It may get some people to try XP, and then actually buy a legit copy.
Of course, some may be disappointed and revert to what they were using before.

Just install Linux on a box so I can fix it!

P.S. Hurry!
Obviously, bad PR on slashdot can help, but does not stop all of the Bad Guys(TM).
See Microsoft.
Java Applets.
Well, that would speed up the bug fixing process.
