What are you talking about, 2400 baud modem?? The way to do it was to save (by hand) each part of each picture you were interested to your VM account (mainframe with fat pipe to the internet). Then (by hand) cut and paste them into a single file and then run uudecode on them, and then download them to floppy.
Later on I found some VM based newsreaders that did all the cutting and pasting for me:)
I just took a look and did a search on myself. Found a bunch of stuff I posted back in 1992, 1993, when I was still 'surfing' using Penn State's Mainframe!
I haven't used a microsoft product since 1993, when I started using OS/2. I stopped using OS/2 a few years ago when I discovered linux (But OS/2 is still stronger at many tasks...I wish that bozo had never stolen my install cd!) I also have sought out jobs where I would not be forced to use microsoft crap as well. Difficult, but possible. Today I just got a new job. Guess what. I don't have to use microsoft there either.
I do admit to booting to windows for awhile last year just so I could play through half life (and that's not even necessary nowadays with the ability to run it under wine, from what I understand)
It's possible. But you have to try. Being so disgusted with the stuff that you can't stand using it at all helps too:)
Why would anybody willingly actually *PAY* to use that crap at HOME when there are better alternatives for much less money?
expn = expand in sendmail. Basically, if it is enabled, somebody can telnet to your mail server on port 25 and if you have an alias that is a list of email addresses, they will get the entire list of addresses back (ie, on my mail server, they would 'expn mtb' and learn about 60 email addresses!).
Disabling expn and vrfy on sendmail is common security practice. On my Redhat 7.0 box, they were ENABLED by default. Not good.
Disable expn (especially if you run mailing lists as aliases for somebody!!!) and vrfy.
Make an alias for every service that requires a mail address
write procmail filters that only allow mail to the above aliases if they are from the service you signed up for. If they spam you themselves, just remove the alias (I get a lot of third party spam from slashdot, believe it or not)
Forward mail from the account on my ISP to my real mail server
Delete everything that was forwarded by my ISP unless it came from the ISP themselves, or from the dyndns service (who obviously need a server other than your own to contact you through)
Filter other specific spams as needed in.procmailrc (stuff with no from address, stuff with no '@' in the address unless it came from your own domain, etc)
I hadn't been forwarding my ISP mail to my account for awhile. I was AMAZED at the amount of crap that came into it when I decided to check it the other day! SHEESH! 60+ mails a day on that account, ALL SPAM. MOSTLY PORNO. This on an account that I have NEVER used, let alone advertised! Of course the lack of security of the ISP probably didn't help (default web pages as the user's account id, for example)!
Those of us sick of the crap simply start running our own servers. I used EFNet to hang out on a single channel. When everything started going to shit, and since I had cablemodem access (now DSL), I simply put up my own small server, and notified everyone where the channel's new home would be. Problem solved.
I really do miss the early days of IRC though. Before the 'net became flooded by the damned AOL kiddies. #flirt and #ircbar on EFNet were a riot. Oh well. We've lost this culture just as we've lost ascii art, since email clients all have HTML now. Usenet will be next, I fear. You even have people in the mozilla group posting shit with HTML. *sigh*
On that note, you may also want to have a circuit on each of those drops routed as UPS. Then just put as many UPS's as you want in the garage/basement, and not worry about losing power on things like computer servers, alarm clocks, vcr, etc. Beats putting 9V batteries in everything.
Not an engineering student, I see. Engineering students do NOT memorize things. They learn how to think and solve problems. We weren't all liberal arts students, my friend.
typical test is 2-1/2 hours. 6 problems. Choose and solve 3-4.
No problem is ever like the stuff you've seen in the homework, other than the principals. You figure out what you can assume, then start deriving equations and systems weeee!
So, if I just took some cough medicine, so that I can stop coughing long enough to drive, I probably wouldn't be able to drive the car? I'm not sure how much a breathalyzer needs to detect, but I would wager this scenario could possibly trip it.
Let me rephrase that. I want a *portable* mp3 jukebox that has those two things. I've already written my own daemon for here at home that accomplishes the task. It uses your choice of named pipe (great for web interface on the same box) or sockets (remote control...is there anybody out there who would like to help write a palm-pilot interface?)
Is a jukebox that has ethernet, and uses something like smb, or tftp to put stuff on/delete from it. I'd like the artist/album/song data to simply come from the filenames (ie, directory structure). Nothing else. Just a KISS mp3 player that is easy to put stuff on, remove stuff from, and organize.
I totally disagree. If he created a program that allowed you to convert the installer you would have an arguement, however he is merely pointing out how it could be done, e.g. if I tell you how to pick a lock, that is perfectly legal, but I am not allowed to sell you a lock pick.
Are there any anonymizing proxies that the police can't force to give out logs? This shit is scary:
Other USA Patriot Act sections mean that police can obtain an Internet Protocol address, which identifies a cable modem subscriber, as readily as they can learn someone's telephone number.
Of course it doesn't really matter, since they will still be able to sniff at the ISP. How about anonymizers that use SSL or a VPN? That would be ideal.
I will *NOT* buy any windoze games. I *DO* however own linux games from Loki. If they don't want my money, fine. Games aren't such a necessary part of my life that I'm willing to bother with having windoze on any of my machines. Too bad.
I'm sure there are others who won't buy it until it is linux native either. What's the point of having wolf if you don't get to play singleplayer? Network will just be another quake. yay.
comcast took over the local cable company, and is forcing my ISP to stop providing cablemodem access. Choices are to stay with cable, and get comcast's crappy service which won't allow me any servers, go with sprint/earthlink dsl (yeah, right!), or stay with current ISP, but pay more, but still run all my servers. Any way I go, I end up with PPPoE and a 128K upstream cap (I have 512 both directions now).
I just asked this of my ISP, since they have been put out of the cable modem business due to comcast buying our local cable company. So now I am being forced to ADSL with PPPOE. Blech. Anyhow...I asked them...and they don't care what I do with my bandwidth, so long as I don't RESELL it. So sharing with my neighbor is legit.
Now to the PPPOE rant...I am paying for bandwidth. I *WAS* getting 512K/s both directions. NOw I'm being capped at 128K up, 512K down. Ok, fair enough (although I'm being charged the same, bastards!). But if they are using PPPOE, I'm not really getting to use all of that because of the damned wrapped protocol. Pisses me off. I'm really worried how my mail/web servers are going to perform when I switch over.
And don't forget salaries for good educators. Schools do NOT need computers. As for books, unless they are worn and in need of replacement, grammar doesn't change too often, and math doesn't really at all, especially at that level. Pay for good teachers so the kids learn something. The only place computers should be used is in a lab for report writing, and in a computer lab for learning to write software. No internet access, except perhaps a few terminals clearly in view, unfiltered, in the library.
Now I can have a slideshow running in the foreground, but still see through it to the stuff I'm working on. That's about the only cool use I can think of for this, but it's a good one, no?
Stardock's Object Desktop does this, IIRC. I wouldn't have any first-hand experience, since I don't use Microsoft products, and haven't for a very long time.

Just wait till the day we have satellites in the sky blinking obnoxious ads at us as we try to look at the stars.

And here I am having a hard time finding a job. If getting one easy means working as a 'consultant' with clowns like this, no thanks.

No wonder america's kids get dumber with every generation. Our education system is braindead as hell.
Just be sure to use the '-o' option, or you'll get all your pinboard icons in your window list.
Thanks for playing :)
Tell that to Dmitry.
