I agree, Ethereal is a godsend. Made it easy to reverse engineer a protocol I needed to replicate in one of my projects.
Only feature I wish it had would be the ability to ARP poison switches. Etherape has this ability and it is nice for listening on unmanaged switches.
Otherwise, ethereal is a great product. Nice filtering and easy to follow streams. It also will do a lot of legwork for you and figure out what higher level protocol is being used over TCP.
I too have updated to the latest Cygwin/X Xorg stuff. I noticed in the release notes that this was included:
Initial version of indirect 3D acceleration by mapping GLX to Win32's OpenGL implementation. (Alexander Gottwald, Harold L Hunt II)
But I can't seem to get accelerated opengl running. glxgears still uses Mesa and gets about 81 FPS. Anyone know how to enable the accelerated OpenGL? I've been waiting for this for a long time and I'm excited it's finally in there, just wish I knew how to make it work properly.
Saw something about linking with "-opengl32", but not sure where that should be done, I'd assume the XWin.exe included in Cygwin/X was built with that.
Pretty amazing considering current graphics cards are pretty much just optimized for rasterizing triangles really frigging fast. The new pixel/fragment shaders are really very cool.
Yeah, but if you have a giant file on disk, you'd rather not have to read the entire thing to find what you're looking for. Much easier to just jump directly into the middle of a large file to get a piece of data than read the whole file into memory and then extract the data.
The problem is that you never know exactly where in an XML file a certain bit of data is located.
Heh, well at least you actually spelled the words out. The original poster apparently is so afraid of saying "fuck" that he self censored his own post! I mean how can we take his opinion as valid if he submits to the very censorship that he is crusading against!
Eh, my current PC won't boot from floppy. It uses a SCSI cdrom hooked up to a non-bootable SCSI card. This is a PIII 566, slot 1 computer. If I had an IDE cdrom it would boot from it I suppose. But don't blindly say that all computers can.
But how about a corporation with many different offices and subdivisions in different parts of the world? Or someone from another country whose server is located in the US. Does the domain reflect where the server is located, or where the company is?
Why must one tie one's website to a particular regeion, be it state or country? If I have a site meant for the entire world's consumption, what would you have us do?.earth?.com is shorter to type and has the added benefit of somewhat identifying it as commercial (although obviously this is not accurate in today's internet).
The only thing I'm really waiting for before launching into building a PVR system is for a windows port of the MythTV frontend. That would kick ass since a lot of my machines happen to run windows.
Yeah, I mean I guess they are trying out of the box advertising, but stuff like this isn't so good. It suckers people who don't know what the state of the art is in robotics and don't know that what is displayed here is all fake. Now I'll have to see how many of my less technically adept (or frankly just gullible) friends send this link to me.
A lot of the time you don't even need the scanner. If you have the shop manual, it tells you which pins on the diagnostic port to short together, then the console light will start blinking in morse code, which can then be referenced in the book to find out what the problem is. Very nice feature.
Of course you need the shop manual, but I buy that with every new car, it's about $100 or so, but it is definately worth it in the long run.

Yeah, I agree, that is a real pain in the ass. Makes you use another machine just to see what is going on.
I'm an idiot, it's Ettercap that does the ARP poisoning, not sure about Etherape.

Ugh, writing code with Nano? Jeez, you might as well have suggested writing code with notepad.exe. Get a real editor like Vim!
He used 20 cm of concrete for the floor that goes over the horns, and 1 ton of marble flooring on top of the access panels. That'll keep things still.
I agree...I've got 512 MB in my P3-560 Mhz system and would add more if the motherboard would accept it.
Definately need as much of that RAM as possible.
He's not talking about vector displays. He means using vector graphics that then get rasterized to a regular pixel based display.
Screw raster displays, I want a ray tracing display!
See this and this.

Yeah, only problem is there are no open bays in my case. Doesn't matter, not like I need to boot from a cdrom much anyway.

Fuck.
Jeez, typo in the first sentence. I meant it can't boot from cdrom. Only from floppy.

Not to be pedantic or anything, but shouldn't that be an RF receiver on your nuts? Unless you broadcast whenever you have sex...

Yeah, I almost bought one of these great swords. They're so high quality!
Nice friends you have. Why don't we all go out, commit crimes and post em on slashdot.

Havn't you seen Mad Max? You've got to roam around the desert wastelands racing and killing people for gas. Duh.
The subject says it all.
