It is a bridge between samba and webdav. You run it on your webserver and it connects to shares/machines that have samba shares on your LAN. It uses smbclient to access the LNA shares, converts it in WebDav. It lets me mount samba network shares on a Win7 as a driveletter, without the need to make a VPN connection.
- CD/DVD writers could be used to burn copyrighted content? - USB stick could house copyrighted content?
Or to make it broader, supplying tools to do unlawful actions.. - Gun can kill people! Outlaw guns? (That could be good) - Cars can kill people - Baseballbats can kill people, lets forbid those tools too!

The main message translates to something like this: "in 2011 the ten most visited movies have net resulted in EUR 73 milion. This is higher than the previous year when the top ten only grossed EUR 64,47 milion"
So what is the problem? About 10% increase doesn't look too bad to me?
Give it up on tech solutions; Math is best done with pen ad paper. It's cheap, fast and accurate to the same extend as you are..
During my years in university, it was recommended you take notes, and work out your own notes afterwards. That was half the learning of it. (They even gave timescore points for it on my university if you did it or not)
Copying it from the bord and not doing it yourself will not teach you anything.
Learning Math (we are talking real Math here, not calculus) is getting into a routine, learning and doing it again and again, on paper, yourself..
I'd stongly advise AGAINST using a tool to learn Math.. (Like using a calculator destroys ones ability to do even the simplest sums)
Get over it, nothing in life is for free. No pain, no gain..
How to recover, depends on the state of the device you want to recover things from..
Most people that come to me to recover stuff from a hd.. We ask what type of recovery they want... Corrupt device, corrupt tape, corrupt tapedrive etc..
Corrupt hd -> Is it a software (filesystem issues) -> recover4all does the undelete actions quite well on MS type fs-esses -> Partition recovery (any fs) -> UFS explorer (linux fs and much more)
Corrupt HD hardware (board) -> Be sure to never junk old HD's.. swapping a HD PCB can fix tons of problems !
Corrupt HD mechanics: -> Try a Linuxrescue/Knoppix CD.. and use dd_rescue... Goes a long way
If the HD mechanics problem does not work... Try: -> Beers, fridge, rubberhammer, ziplock-bag:
Cool down the HD quite a bit in a fridge, in a zip-locked bag (keeping it dry). Reconnect, keep it cool. Hit it with a rubber hammer fron the side... use dd_rescue.. Then if you can copy it to a working device then use the fs/software tools..
Over the last 10 years, on about 50 disks like that, I got a 70% ratio. On tons of different disks.. Novell Netware, EXT3, XFS etc formated disks..
Be sure.. If a customers asks about pricing.. It ain't cheap !! Sometimes it took me 10 hours for a single disk.. (from a no-RAID Netware server, without backups, that was easily over 2000 euro !!) only 4 files out of 50.000 were corrupt... But had to do the whole thing.. (hd replacement board, in frigde , hit it with rubber hammer, dd_rescue etc)
Tsss. Well, another survey learned that 57% of all statistics is made up on the spot... Don't trust the numbers just like that because someone quotes a number/percentage/survey...
1) Virusscanner on outbound mail, detect a virus -> Quarantine VLAN 2) Scanner for logfiles, for suspecious activies, if so -> Quarantine VLAN
The VLAN holds in NO INTERNET ACCESS at all. The users get IP through DHCP, redirecting request to a DNS that answers to every request with the same IP. The IP runs a webserver with a page explaining the problem.
Takes a day or so to put it all together, but will save you a LOT of time.
Also, from time to time there are 'vunerability' scans on the network for detecting people not having patched. Run those when available. Put all ports of the people to lazy to patch to the VLAN to. But put on the webserver a download option for the updates, and a form for questing to remove them from the VLAN.
I've lived in a 'cardboard' box for quite a while. Images here show the houses. Quite cheap, really cold in winter, and really hot in summer. In a couple of weeks these will be torn down, or actually, the screws taken out of them, put on the back of a lorry and driven out.
Yes, I totally agree on that. The article is very very 'tainted'.
There are more factual errors:
"SCO's case is built on its copyright to UNIX, the operating system from which Linux was derived in the early '90s" Oh, is it ? I thought that's exactly what one the SCO court cases is about ?
"unpaid volunteers who collaborate to develop open source code" Really ? Unpaid ? Lots (most?) of them ARE paid, because they work for a company that requires features added or something. Where else does the $1 billion investment go ?
The 'correction' at the bottom, it also states a couple of weird facts. Why not get the acticle fixed. As a lot of/.-ers never seem to RT-whole-FA, it's like planting a bad seed.. U guess most readers stop before the end, never getting to the 'corrections' part. So, in most people's memories it is putting a negative ring to OpenSource. (Yes, that one is from me wearing a tinfoil-hat)
Seems like MS-NBC is more of an advertisement channel than a real news reporting channel.
I'm quite sure Novell has been doing it in the past. At least with the older versions of Netware (3.x and 4.x versions).
You had the whole Novell NOS + couple of services in, lets say 100Mb or so, and you needed to update tons of NLM's. Just needed to download a quite small patch file (over a POTS line) that usually could fit on a floppy or so) and then it updated the loose NLM's.

One that page, the part convering the speedup thing:
2) more importantly though, MSVC just generates better code. take a look at codesize totals for example: linux seamonkey went from 21148 to 20196, and win32 seamonkey went from 13101 to 12821. so, that's a 4.5% savings on linux and a 2.1% savings on win32.
Yes, I know a bit down the text 2-3% is mentioned, I do RTFA, but it shows as much 'substantial' evidence as todays 'Java faster than C++' article.
In my opinion, they should use more of their 'in-house capital'. I'm sure they have business and IT related corses there.
By having graduate students have as a final project something like that, they can save lots of bucks on things like that.
Why shouldn't they ? I know my university does. It also shows in a way that if you prepare students in those fields, you are confident of their capabilities, e.g. the level of 'education' your own university provides is good enough for they big companies you are training them for to work later.
In this build-up of patents lately, to me it looks more and more the way they will be going is the way SCO has been going for a while now. And as by now everyone knows the lawsuit against IBM is payed by MS in the end, it's of use to keep things so indirect, just get down it directly is more easy.
We all know development at microsoft has stopped for IE, Longhorn is not comming along, we know MS market-share is falling, and recent./ articles have hinted that it's not the way for the future.
With all that cash lying around, and 'doing business' gets you problems in the EU, it might be better to change from a 'software' business to a 'investment'-business... Less hassle, less employees, less lawsuits..
To keep it in a./ fashion
Make lots of cash
Use cash to patent everything that exists
Fire all programmers, and become a legal firm
Sue anyone that has cash or can loan money to pay settlements
Result: Even a better profit/ROI, to make even more cash !
I think it was about 20 years back or so. I had a digital watch, extremely cheap. It had 'buttons' you could press.
Usually it showed time. Pressing it once made it swap day/month and time. Pressing it twice show the amount of seconds. Pressing it long it got it to 'setup'.
I bet most/. readers once owned a limited computing device like that, with exactly the same or close to the same functions.
Well my company only has a single smart car but I can tell you they are not a lot better in doing personaly maintaning them. Most parts are closed, you can't really do anything on the car yourself that gets your hands greasy. It even has not got a spare tire (that's optional and there's not too much space for it). It does save a bundle on road taxes though. (In my country we have road taxes based on the weight, age and fuell type of your car)
Same sort of recurring problem we had with a diesel Citroen Berlingo car. Engine light kept comming back up, but the place we bought it checked it out a couple of times for free, and the last time they replaced some coil or something not sure, was a two digit price.
Another option would be to stay away from those new type of cars with all the problems you have, and be quite independant of where you get it fixed. Before the berlingo we had a C15 and for instance now I drive a 1967 Citroen DS Pallas, and sure, it does have it's own sort of problems, I have plenty of choice where to get those fixed. (Even so, the Citroen dealerships/stealerships do not know anything about those anymore)
I work as IT guy at some company. I do the hardware, software, the whole lot.
Quite recently we had to get a couple of laptops, cheap ones. The previous time we needed them, we got NEC laptops with FreeDOS, as we have an abbundance of M$ Liscenses lying around; the actual number of machine does not change, it's only hardware upgrades and replacements of broken machines (We still use 98, you only need the number of uses to be correct; you can transfer a license from one machine to another if you replace the machine)
At the NEC-online site they used to also offer Machines with FreeDos installed, compared to the ones with Windows 2000 or XP installed
The last time I looked into the prices, exactly the same machines with FreeDOS installed in stead of some MS-OS were actually MORE expensive than the FreeDOS ones !
So, As FreeDOS is 'free', MS must be even less than free ?:)
I called those guys and asked them how it could be so. They said that is because it was a non standard product, they had to take special attention to it, and that special attention had a special price...
Strange stuff, but a real world example of pricing...

With Ultrasurf it is possible to bypass the proxy and the visits are not logged..

Wow, that's really extra terrestial, as I thought that ther are only 192 international recognised countries !
From the article, the specs:
Fréquence : 20Hz ~ 20Hz
I'm quite sure that will provide pretty lousy audio...
