Its a matter of proof. The only people that seen it happen are on the same side as Amazon because they do not want to loose their jobs or get in trouble. None of the lawyers that we have contacted will take the case. Its really retarded. We tried for 6 months to do something, and now we have given up. a) We do not have the money to fight them. b) No free lawyer will go against Amazon. We are sueing the attacker though . I didn't want her to work there anyway.
My wife used to work for Amazon. She was attacked by a coworker and forced to quit because the management would not do anything about it. She had to visit the doctor for months after the attack that gave her whiplash and nerve damage. In my mind, Amazon is a very bad company and should be punished.
Thats a lot of work. I would just boot from floppy, run my script to zero the passwd, reboot the box, login and put the old root pw back, search the system while its on and running like nothing's wrong.
Same here. I used to use IRC a lot. Many years. It just seems like the people taking over are just retarted. I left about a year ago. It's nothing but a waste of time. I don't miss it at all.
I was going to buy my wife a iPOD for Christmas. It will hold our whole collection. She has the Sony NW-E3 right now (but its software is messed up and it does not work on a Mac). She uses her MP3 player while she skateboards. I don't think that a iPOD will take that type of abuse. It would be trashed in a day. This player would be perfect. No more stupid Sony software. I wonder if it will work on a Mac?
Same thing happened to me. I moved to a new home in Silver Springs, Nevada. I broke down and got ISDN, but that is running $400 a month right now. Its crazy. I check on the T1, and it will be $1313 a month with a $1200 setup fee. I setup a WISP from my home. I have to charge $40 per month with 30 people on to pay for the T1. Right now I'm hosting it off of my ISDN for free until I can get 30 people signed up. Then it will be $40 per month with a one year contract. Currently I have three people and a lot of interest. I'm building a repeater to get the others that want to sign up. I figure by next year I will have the T1 and quite a few people online.
Are you talking about Oakland? I used to ride my bike down that street every day. I worked at MicroProse in Alameda and lived in Berkeley. I never had a problem with anyone there. It does get kinda freaky at night though. Me and my $1000 bike was just fine. Mabye I'm just lucky.
You get a photo? I just get a blank dark grey screen. Not even a link or broken image or anything. I view source and its some javascript with a flash movie below it. What kind of web site is this?
Yes I am a Mac OS X user. I have a Apple Cube to use it on. I love it to death. NFS has a few problems though. There are a few other things that really bug me. Like if I put the system to sleep while PhotoShop is running, then when I wake it, it seems locked up. I wait for about 10 or 15 minutes and PhotoShop will crash and the system will come up. If I transfer a very large file, 100mb, to a NFS drive then my Mac looses its ethernet. I have found that if I turn on my wireless the ethernet will come back. Little stuff like that. I dual boot to Debian Linux and do not have a single problem with my ethernet or lockups. I'm running 10.2.1.
I love my OS X, except the lock-up and crashes. I never used MS windows, so I did not get the experience the contstant crashes. Now that I have a Mac, I can join in with the fun.
When I used Debian Linux on my desktop, I never had one crash. Not one crash in the 8 years that I used it. I have used OS X since June. I installed Debian on it just so I could have a stable system when OS X crashed. Jagwire is much better, but still as I was writing this the DVD movie in the background crashed my system. I had to hit the reset switch.
I know what his secret is. He found a way to end SPAM. It involves Lasers, GPS, and Traceroute. He uses traceroute to find where the SPAM came from then uses a laser with GPS to destroy the whole city. He wants to warn people that if they live next to a SPAMmer then they will be in danger of being vaporized.
This is kinda cool because I run a wireless ISP at my home and provide internet to people that are off the grid. My father-in-law is using wireless from my feed right now and he is off the grid running on batteries.
I have Linux boxes setup right now using Host_AP drivers. I have the LMC T1 Card for the T1. It has a built in CSU/DSU. Also has Linux drivers.
I'm using Debian Linux because its very easy to maintain. FreeBSD still takes a bit to do things. Its much easier with a T1 though, so maybe I'll switch.
I finally found a how-to for setting up PPPoE, and I'm getting ready to do that now. I sure hope it works.
Thanks for the info though. It has confirmed that I'm on the right path.
I ended up using 12dBi omni at my house and my Linksys is set for 15dBm. I can get three miles at 5mb/sec. I have Pac-Wireless grid dishes at the other ends, 15dBi ($45-50). Its working really well . I'm getting my business license this week and I'll start signing up customers as soon as I get it.
Oh yes, the projector is the way to go with DVD's. I have the Plus 1100 and its great. I get a 20 foot screen. Its just like being at the movies.
Your right about the light. I can only use it at night. We have "Movie Night" about three times a week. For the rest of the time I have a TV that someone gave me. Next year I'm going to build a theater in my back yard. No windows.

I called them for a quote once. They told me that FreeBSD is insecure and if I run it I will be hacked. They never did give me that quote....
Yeah, I spent a lot of time on that network. Its the same thing. Bad Brain Food.
I just upgraded my Mac Cube from a 450MHz to a 800MHz and also upgraded the video card.

Damm, that Preview button is too close to the Submit button. I didn't want to post it, I wanted to preview it.
Are you talking about Tinderbox? It sounds like your talking about Tinderbox.

Wow.
I run Debian Linux on my Mac Cube with the cute one button mouse.
Hell, Register.com just goes and charges my CC without telling me first. I am now moving over to Dotster.com.
They website sez the best line....THIS IS BMX??? I think not! It's trash.
Boy, you don't know anything about BMXers. This is BMX.
Personally I think the most BMXers are idiots, but this truly represents the BMX community.

He said that he got it fixed. I would love to fix mine. It drives me crazy. Anyone know how?

Thats what this whole thing is about.
