static dhcp = theirs but more or less permanently assigned to you.
My ip is technically dynamic (the word I DIDN"T use) but it never changes. functionally its a static dhcp address.
P.S. you should know that many admins will set static ips in dhcp for myriad reasons. I'll give you 1 good example though.
Jetdirect Print servers: can be set statically (via web/telnet/jetadmin etc). can also use dhcp as would be expected). Many admins will set them statically, and then add a static dhcp entry as well.
Why? because they are flakey (like users). if they reset to defaults (dhcp), it doesn't matter.
Exactly why isps should: 1. use static dhcp. 2. tie the ip address to the modem/account 3. cap the outbound bandwidth (like they already
do) 4. let anyone run a server.
Personal responsibility shouldn't end at your modem.
1. Get fcc to 'advise' isps to block 25. 2. wait for futility among the geeks to set in. 3. set up vpn server for aforementioned geeks.

Unix admins make more than windows admins because "managers" understand pointyclicky pretty pictures.
They "think" that unix is harder (muuuhahahahahh, we'll just keep the secret) and therefore when forced to impliment it, are willing to pay for admins (or perish the thought, training for Windows admins)
Now the truth. Windows is infinitly harder to admin than unix. (think about it carefully for a second)
Windows admins have to deal with what is essentially a large sandbox full of ADD inflicted children and a bunch of diahretic cats. It's a constant struggle to keep yourself from killing children (user applications) while dodging the runny turds (virus/spy/ad ware). Add to this the fact that your manager is probably of the mindset that Microsoft has addressed these problems and it's YOUR fault that those skid and crush incidents keep happening.
Life sucks as a windows admin. Life is f'n glorious for my unix loving brethren (yes that sorta includes tha mac osx people too, but only begrudgingly, you with your fancy pointy clicky front ends to the raw text files)
Slashdot Mirror
ooops.
I guess I should have got the capital before I gave the idea up to any slashdotter worth his/her weight in OpenVPN source.
Oh well, on to the next idea.
actually it's not.
static = yours.

any takers?
If only management could have seen that.
(and understood the implications).
Perhaps then an HR person would finally get fired for THEIR incompetence.
then you pick an easier password, write it on a sticky mote, and tape it to a $20.
Why are you guys making this so hard. It's the obvious solution here.
(still kidding BTW)
Tape it to your cash.
You'll notice it then amigo.

Oh well, I feel better, not bitter.
Please o please o tell me you re based in Canada (anywhere) or are a telecommuting-friendly org.
Please?
I know that last Intel chip I bought was marked Malaysia (Celeron 300A)
agreed.
but remember googlenews was non-customizable for a long time too.
I would imagine that this too will evolve in a good way.
ahem!
gLinux!
Please!?!?!?
Actually I wasn't really playing on the "DOS" part.
I was more trying to get the point across that it isn't only OpenBSD that is limited to this.
Another poster described the boot process very accurately (and as I understand it).
So no OpenBSD CAN boot from any partition. But its BOOTLOADER must reside in a primary partition (dos or otherwise) Same as linux winnt etc.
P.S. I have used OpenBSD in production (firewalls mostly) for years now.
"Primary" beacuse BSD may only boot from a primary DOS partition.
Are you sure about that?
I mean that BSD will only boot from a Primary partition.
As I understand it, That is an i386 problem, not limited to BSD.
If I am wrong please feel free to enlighten (but not ignite) me.
While agree with you entirely on the machinations of the market/legal system, I have to raise another point.
By your reasoning (and mine apparently), Pyramid and Ponzi schemes are legal too.
thoughts?
someone didn't believe the hype (of XP) too.
win2k runs excellent on my TP390 laptop (with 256 MB of ram mind you)
Make a great (wireless + vpn) shoutcast client plugged into the stereo.
no skips, plays well after the screen saver kicks in. Shoot I have a hard time stopping it.
That said, it's the only windows box I have left, and it's days are numbered too.
You, my friend, have missed your calling.
Someone gets paid to write political attacks. I bet it's a lot.
I am sure you could wrestle 7 figures (but only 5 or 6 for tax purposes) for that skill.
Keep up the good work.
(No really, great analogy)

Quick question?
"extending the life of a failing company for another few years so that shareholders have time to sell..."
Don't shareholders sell their shares to other shareholders by definition?
It's not like they are selling them back to Canopy Group.
Someone (a shareholder) is going to get hurt eventually.
Hence SCAM.
I just don't get this.
Theo is just fine to get along with.
Do and Theo not get along?
You are kidding I assume?
TrollTech re-licenced QT to something GPL compatible under duress.
Here's hoping the same for Java.
here here brother.
I like a young chick as much as the rest of us, but I draw the line somewhere.
The olsen twins ? another non starter.
As to Jon-Benet Ramsey (kiddie pageantry), don't LET me get started there.

glad you told me. I was happily using it.
gentoo implimentation of courier-imap in ssl mode.
I have had no problems with it.
NOTE: 3 users, all me. NOT in production environs
Any suggestions for a better replacement?
