I remember having problems installing a CD burner in my home PC because the CD Burner was longer than conventional CDRoms. THis had the effect of shorting out the mobo mounting screw against the side of the excess length of the CD Burner.
Sometimes the machine would boot, sometimes it wouldn't. Some electric tape between the mounting screw and the side of the cd burner, and voila, problem solved
Actually I believe there must be some connection between any mention of the word Microsoft in an article, and the running of a Microsoft add on that articles post.
It makes sense. MS is trying to provide the negatice news it always seems to be receiving on slashdot with its standard PR machine diversion/balance.
Wonder if it is actually working on some slashdotters.
On the other I managed to rip a cd, and every song had an extra second of time on it and a noticable ticking artifact in the music every half second or so all the way through the song.
I run two machines at home, one which I compile everything for and test new kernels on, and one that I do dev and personal work one.
The dev/personal machine runs redhat 7.2 and uses up2date (i.e. redhat rpm's) to update all software on the system. Its the easiest way for me to have up to date, stable apps with which to run my system and get my work done. The down side is, I cant compile any extras if I want to change the kernel.
That is a limitation I accept as a consequence of my wanting an easily updatable stable system. And if I need to run anything from compile I use my other machine. Here is the problem though....
Both linux machines dual boot into win2k (I use for games). How do I mount the ntfs partition with my redhat box? I need to re-compile kernel with the ntfs read-only driver to beable to mount it, but that would mean I don't get to use the redhat up2date to update my kernel.
An answer to that one would really make me happy in "userland" on my red hat machine.
I once had to write some Delphi code to call into a VC++ dll that worked as a data only smart card driver.
Basically this smart card had something like 8Kbit addressable space (it was the early days of smart cards as storage devices).
I had to write code to detect card insertion, then detec card version, talk to the smart card reader (on the serial port) and read/write data to the smart card.
Got it all to work fine, except for one thing. The first letter of any string written to the smart card always got hosed.
The cause? The manufacture of the smart card used the first 2 bits of the addressable space on the card as some form of control bits. (this was burried in a foot note somewhere in the documentation). Anyways after finally finding this problem I figured out that I would always write a space char infront of any string going into the card, and always discarded the first char coming out of the card.
However, isn't the higher point of the conversation the fact that licensing like the GPL wouldn't cause this issue in the firstplace.
It is the licensing behind these commercial software titles that restricts learning. The GPL, therfore, in this case can be used for both sides of the argument. Since it seeks to open the use, and sharing (hence learning) of software.
Some would argue that porting these functions to other languages (PHP namely) is a redundant exercise. PHP already has a wealth of string manipulation functions that go above and beyond what VB script in ASP can do.
Why not just use the superior functions in PHP?
Or better yet, why not start using the superior ones in php, whil at the same time writing wrapper calls which translate the VB calls to actual PHP calls?

The technique is called "Boxing" and it is how.NET enables the use of value native data types (i.e. ints, floats, bools etc) as actual objects. see example below
int testInt;
testInt.Parse("600");
testInt is a value type so theoretically isn't handled as an object (its placed on the stack, not the heap). But in order for us to use the Static methods of the int class we need to "Box" the int, so we can treat it like an object. THis is basically placing an object wrapper around a value type (i.e. dereferencing it in the heap etc).

I'm currently in the middle of implementing a large scale, customized CRM system for a global company.
They insisted on using MS technologies (server maintenace would be easier they said).
So we decided to use.Net because we needed a system wide platform to build all the customisations on. I would rather have used a more mature technology (Enterprise Java anyone) but MS was insisted upon us.
When I first started to get into.Net all the right ups and books about it got me excited. It really does bring everything you need to build a web application into one platform. The problem...
There are far too many cracks that things fall through. All the little nitty gritty things that you don't want to become intimately involved with when building an enterprise system, do exactly that, force you to get intimately involved with the low level stuff.
If I wanted to do low level work I woulda used a custom built platform (combo of server scripting, php or asp, and my own server side binaries with all the funky stuff in it). But no, we chose to go.Net because it "did everything".
Yeah it did everything alright, just not completely.
For example, anyone tried printing the contents of a rich text box control? Why use a prepackage rich text box control if you have to right your own low level rtf parser to print? how furked up is that?
Since "brute force attack" means trying every possible value, at the end of the day it doesn't matter how many different levels of techniques and algorithms you use to encrypt something. You still have to end up with a key that has a finite length.
That finite bit length determines the time it would take to brute force attack the system. So I don't think your uses of inderiction would help.
The only way to stay ahead of brute force attack is to pile on the bit length and so increase the number of values to be tried.
Can't seem to think about any reason you would possibly want to automate this. Surely the whole point to summaries is that they are a shortened version of human-generated english (or whatever human language) that embodies the general context of the document. This just seems like one of those things that:

Now I like to instal PHP from source personally, but most people i know that use PHP, do so on a default redhat 7.2 rpm install. i.e. they are running ver 4.0.6.
So my question is: Is there a way to patch the major distro versions (i.e. rh, suse, mandrake...) from there default versions to the secure version?
Because if there isn't then there are still gonna be alot of webservers out there running insecure versions of php. And, if there isn't a way, then why isn't there?
I seem to recall having issues with shared memory mappings and the like, cause some of the POSIX functions not yet being supported in linux. This was some time ago, though.
Needless to say, lowering software costs by violating proprietary license conditions is not an option. Happily, there are often legal alternatives to proprietary software: non-proprietary "open software". (emphasis by me)
Sounds like their saying that they could just steal proprietry software, but it makes them sad.
Using open source is not only good for these people monetarily, it's good for them emotionally, since it makes them happy. - lol
I just hope they fully understand the prinicpal behind releasing any code that uses GPL code in it, i.e. using GPL software components as opposed to just using GPL software applications.
I generally do all my dev stuff in linux, and only boot windows to play counter-strike.
To be able to use my hotmail.com account to download small files and attachments onto my home machine, I need to use Opera in linux, because msn always fucks up downloads for mozilla. I think it has something to do with operal impersonating IE5.
Problem with Opera is that it has issues understanding complex (i.e. nested table) page structures and dosn't render them the same as moz or IE. At least thats what i experienced from the linux adware version.
So I use mozilla all the time for my website development in linux, use opera to check some complex page structures and get hotmail attachments, and use IE6 to make sure stuff i design for viewing in mozilla, looks good in IE.
IIC, last time I checked Linux was not 100% (i.e. fully) POSIX compliant. It's close, but not quite there yet.
And another thing, not all applications actually make use of the POSIX infrastructre for programming. Sometimes its more feasible to them to roll their own implementations of the POSIX features.
Luke had to turn himself in, so that he could keep the emperor and vader busy long enough that the Leia and Solo could destroy the shield generator on the moon.
Had Luke remained with them on the moon then they would have surely been occupied with a great deal more storm troopers, as well as vader (and perhaps them emporer) himself on the moon.

Installed it on two Win2k machines at work....
Couldn't get either to connect to freedb.

it doesn't seem to support upgrading versions of software.
It still seems to be a pain in the us to upgrafe rpms of applications from one major version to another.
anyone know how to upgrade (not just update - as in bug fixes and patches) rpms using up2date?
That's the whole point.
The "spooky interaction" postulate was based on the fact that these things seem to be interacting at faster than the speed of light.
