Is this from the server software for serving clients? IMHO it is not a bad idea to have a server dedicated to serving these streams and the use of an older kernel is not that bad for a single purpose machine if it truely is more stable. Now if this server is your all in wonder box answering for a majority of your/etc/services and used for local X sessions it may not be a stable stream provider regardless of what kernel you have.
Actually I was just trying to be funny with the combo deal but you are correct about the consolidation. I've seen quite a few people loose their fax, printer, scanner and copier when those all in one deals crap out..
I actually have a portable VCR/TV combo but the convienence factor outweighs the potential failure for what I use it for.
The exact statement was: Is Linux any different? It seems like I get an email from redhat at least once a week about a patch for something.
No OS is immune from bugs, but to compare RH's errata which encompasses the core OS plus hundreds of other applications is two different things. Linux is the kernel. Not Pine, not Apache, not SSH, not Sendmail, not Fetchmail, not Bind etc. RH, Debian, Suse is the Linux kernel with all the other stuff added. I run Linux from scratch from a floppy for my router and I have only been directly effected by 2 published bugs for well over 2 years, neither of which could be exploited because there are no user accounts on it (well root could exploit it but he could also rm -rf the whole thing too). The Linux kernel can be used in many places for many things. To say it is as buggy as Windows XP is flat out WRONG.
It comes with a 19 inch screen, a magnetic flying head audio/video recorder that has no DRM restrictions, the recordable media is extremely cheap and available everywhere, it is compatible with thousands of other already existing units, a remote control, plugs into standard cable jacks and accepts input from external sources, has a 125 channel cable ready tuner, plays DVD's, MP3's and media from CDRW's, it is self contained and can be used anywhere a 120/240 outlet is.. Sounds like a good but for only $297
Yeah thats the same thing. Like the last one week about Pine being updated? That is Redhat's fault alright. Comparing these is like apples to oranges. People seem to forget that most Linux distibutions come with HUNDREDS of "third party" applications that you may or may not have installed. Redhat provides these emails based on your current system profile they have of your system. When is the last time MS put out an alert for an Eudora, PC Pine, Pegasys, or Norton Antivirus update that all run on Windows?
Or getting over the mental block and old way of doing things by having to hold the picture in your hand to get enjoyment out of it. For 99.9% of pictures that the average person takes and gets developed, viewing them on screen or even printing them on a decent inkjet is more then sufficient. The professional or the experienced novice trying to get the perfect shot will always have to pay a premium as their limited numbers will never amount to "wide spread" adoption.
I've had more then enough problems with older unsupported/uninstalled applications and printed web receipts laying around that I finally broke down and configured a PDF printer on my network. Using Samba, Ghostscript, and a PS print driver in Windows (all completely free), I can "print" any document to my Linux machine and have the output go directly to a PDF file. With the PDF, I have a very high quality permanent copy that I can backup and reprint at any time in the future. It is faster, looks better than, and much more efficient then printing to a regular printer and scanning it. There are many references on setting this up, searching for ps2pdf, ghostscript, samba will turn up a lot, a good start is an article in the Linux Gazzette. With some changes, you can also convert any PS file to jpg, tiff and others if PDF is not something you desire for the final output..
This does not justify what Intuit is trying to do to squeeze every last freaking dime out of you and taking away your first sale rights but it is a solution that will work for this and for many other issues with print only documents.
I have used this also. In fact I was just there today to see if they ready yet for this year. Last year I initially used the free version that you are referring too but broke down and bought the deluxe version that comes with one state and free electronic filing for both. Not bad for $19.99 and no damn rebates to wait for. www.taxslayer.com looks like a decent option also.
IANAL, but I currently work for some.. I've seen Outlook PST files that were over 1GB get sent offsite to be printed for submital in court cases. The result is about 25 cases of paper. I have no idea how they actually review all that information but I'm sure someone attempts it.
Well they must be using some type of targeted ad system here because the ad I saw was looking for a night shift position at Circle K and a part time crossing gaurd. That is about all high tech that is left around here. A cash register and a two way radio are high tech right?
My point has nothing to do with the english language and sorry I worded it that way. It's about being a United States citizen and working in the US for my entire life. There are certain things a US citizen does throughout life in the US that are required by law and some voluntary that help maintain the US as it is. I have paid taxes since I got a job when I was 16 that pay for the schools and the roads (as do H1-B's but not that long). I served in the military for 10+ years to protect this country, I spend my money here and don't send it back to another country (although the place I spend it probably does), I have voted in numerous local and federal elections when I could, I've stood jury duty. I've worked in this country my entire life, I have lived by the rules of this country, I am under the the relatively good protection that we have in the US against enemies and public outbreak. I have contributed to or maintained this for the country? H1-B's have NONE of the obligations that US citizens have to maintain the US as it is but let get all the benefits of being in the US long enough to make some cash with little benefit to the citizens of the US or the US itself. I see it coming over because the grass is greener but having no part in making that grass greener, or helping to make that grass even greener or even maintaining the grass green. It's greener because of the sacrifices that previous and current US citizens have made. How many H1-B's would be drafted to help the US in a time of need? NONE.
My mom is a green card holding citizen of Canada, she came from Canada with my dad and has made this her place of home for over 35 years, she did not come over here to cash in on the bubble and leave when it gets tough.
but bringing up the fact that they don't natively speak english is kind of, well, bigotry.
I do not agree with the bigotry part. I am an American that speaks english. I was in the Gulf War for this country, my dad was in Vietnam for this country (regardless of the actual reason, he was representing the US), my grandfather was in WW2 and my great grandfather was in WW1. I'm sure some of my other relatives before this were equally part of American history in some way shape or form. Americans high standard of living and mere existance is because of the previous Americans sacrifices. I do not believe it is acceptable to allow anyone and everyone to come into this country and milk off our past successes and sacrifices with little or no sacrifice done by themselves. If you want to play, you should have to pay. The situation that makes United States a desired place to work is because of what previous Americans sacrificed for future Americans. I don't consider this viewpoint bigotry or a troll but I doubt it is the popular opinion here on/.
And I thought that all that time reading World Almanacs I was doing was useless. You have inspired me to keep reading them. Someday, somewhere, someone will ask me what % of surfaced mined coal is exported out of southern Peru and what % of their GDP it accounts for or the average January temperature in Tanzania and I will know!
Actually, anyone can solder a joint that will work. To get it to look good and last is another issue that can only come with practice. By saying looking good, I mean if it looks good, you have a 99% chance it will be a long lasting connection. Short of xraying the thing (which is required in some circumstances), looks tell the story. Shiney and smooth not dull and chunky from overheating, concave and not convex which shows good flow and provides the best mechanical holding. Getting good solder joints takes practice. Something you might not care to do if you only have a few simple jobs to do. Cleanliness of the surface, tip, solder and component are the most important factor. Using rubbing alcohol on the components and solder, an eraser on the circuit board, and damp sponge on the iron tip will do wonders. If everything is clean, the correct amount of solder to apply and heating technique are the only thing left to practice.
Here's a couple soldering guides that Goggle turned up: http://www.ee.upenn.edu/rca/funstuff/solderin g/sol dering.html http://www.circuittechctr.com/guides/ 7-1-1.htm
If you ever use United Airlines at one of their larger stations (IAD, ORD, DEN, SFO, LAX, BOS, LGA, JFK and many others) you are checking in at the counter and getting your seat assignment at the gate via 16Mb TR on a Win 3.1 machine with OS/2 servers and bridges that connect to mainframes via a modem sharing device or an embedded Linux Legacy to TCP/IP converter. WAY old but still ticking..
They have redundant conectivity to the mainframes. One is strickly TCP/IP over the network and the other is initially through the local network but exits out via the modem sharing devices through the OS/2 servers. Both can work simutaneously. When I left the pure Legacy was still much faster and more reliable. The fastest systems were the the newer design that were not redundant but worked the best, they are only TCP/IP and were completely rid of all Legacy protocols and equipment. The "redundency" design for these was built into the existing network like 2 routers, 2 switches, 2 frame relays etc (of course probably attached at the same telephone poll that everyone hits right outside the airport).
but in reality I think it's because he'll download anything and everything he can get his hands on (he just loves that Bonzi buddy thing... ugh)
Spyware or take over ware should be classified as virii or viruses. My 11 and 12 year old kids browse the web a lot, the down side is they always get tricked into downloading these things and installing them. Gator, date managers, time syncro apps and the list goes on. I am slowly getting them to the point they are reading the warnings and not reloading what they remember is bad. The point is they default to trusting web sites and do not assume these things are bad until I mention it or show them what it ACTUALLY does. I think that is the problem with these things and an uneducated public. I actually have the problem handled on the W2K machines and Linux machines but the 98 machines are hard to lock down and still give enough of what they want to do from their interactive kids sites.
Also, the majority affected aren't aware that they are even running a web server at all, much less that they're infected (and spreading infection).
I believe this too. I have been blocking port 80 since day one on my CM. I have also been getting port 80 attempts almost daily from the same exact ip addresses for over 6 months. I do not get uptight about probes and assumed Comcast was looking for web servers and such, turns out they are regular run of the mill dhcp'd customer workstations. These people have their computers running all the time and slapping packets out to the world for months and have NO CLUE.. I wonder what % these people fall under in the Wired article?
All I remember is I gave various bodily fluids so often I forget what each was for. I figure I got enough back from so many medical shots that it evened itself out in the end..
Credit card numbers? I do not see the connection between your medical records and credit card numbers. When you are active duty you and your dependents DON'T pay for healthcare, there is no "billing", your military ID card was your payment. No one accepts money or cards at the hospitals or healthcare facilities, you could not pay someone if you wanted to. The only time I'd ever get bills is when one of my dependants went somewhere other then a military facility. I'd get a bill from the specific facility (not the military or their insurance company) of a small % of what was not covered. Maybe things have changed or this story is lacking information. Another question for this contractor.. Why would billing and medical information be in the same area anyway?
I had the same point but obviously did not word it correctly.
My point was that the entrenched cable companies that are trying to justify the the cost increases and poor service are because of their old ways of doing business. They are not very efficent at doing what they do and their business plan relies on the expensive premium services to make money, just as United. Cable being a harder business to start in only makes it better for the old dogs and harder for new guys.
I don't know if the article you read covered it or not but most smaller airlines do a number of things to cut costs, the cost of labor per working person is just one of the factors and not one that is wholly responsible for bunkrupting United and some others.
They use similar aircraft across their fleets and their aircraft are much newer. This is three fold, they need less maintence and training time, allows for massive reduction in costs because all of the planes are the same and use the same parts and maintence schedules, any of the companies flight deck personel can fly them, and allows the baggage loaders to load the planes much quicker because the cargo areas are all the same. I belive Southwest shoots for a 27-30 minute turn around on a 737.
They fly out of smaller less crowded but still well placed airports like Oakland, Chicago Midway, Long Beach, Baltimore etc.. This reduces the fees, reduces the crowds, and often reduces the delays. The use regular airports where the demand can support it.
No seat preferences, you get your seat when you get your boarding pass, this cuts down on the gate time by reducing last minute seat changes and simplifes the reservation process.
No hot food or meals at all, maybe a snack. Another direct cost savings and also reduces the clean up and people load time.
Many have no or very little international operations, greatly reduces the complexity of management and operation costs, plus they don't need planes that are certified for extended overwater flights.
The regionals have the added advantage of smaller jets (~50 passenger) which are faster and cheaper to operate. Many still use puddle jumper prop jobs that carry between 19 (no flight attendant required) and 29 (one flight attendent required)passengers.
I USED to work for United, I am not there now because of all of the above!
Huh? Anyway.. Why not use a fake address and phone number?
I wonder how long it will be before medical insurance companies start purchasing the detailed buying history of perspective applicants from grocery stores.
Beer, cigarettes, and Oreo's.. Three strikes and you're out.
Over age 65 and you start buying Tum's and Depend brand undergarments your account gets flagged as -Do not Renew-.
Just like airplane companies make all their money off of first class full fare passengers, with coach passengers only giving them tiny incentives when the plane is full, cable carriers make their money off of the people who get the whole ball and chain.
Two wrongs don't make a right!
The old dog major airlines run this way. These are also the same major airlines that are now losing millions of dollars a day and going bankrupt fast, United being the biggest loser when last minute business travel declined, one of their goals during reorganization is to get a more rounded profit from all passengers and not have to rely on the top 10% to pay the bills. Wether they can change fast enough is to be determined. Southwest, Jetblue, Airtran (formally ValueJet), Frontier, and small regional feeder carriers do not have they same subsidizing fare system and all are making money and experiencing double digit growth rates, these guys are running lean and mean and built from the ground up with that in mind. They are giving the consumers what they want and efficent enough to provide it. If the airlines were running as near monoplies or under a back scratching business plan like the cable industry, the smaller upcoming airlines would not have adapted and would have been gone long ago.

Plug the "LAN" side of a NAT box into the ISP's pipe and now it's broadcasting itself as a DHCP server. Not good.
What prevents a user firing up a DHCP server or TFTP on a machine that is directly attached to the ISP and does not have NAT running? Nothing..
I don't think your theory is a reason to prevent NAT.
