Rather, he is talking about the windows time service, which is Microsoft's implementation of SNTP. This is part of win2k and winxp.
It works well enough for most uses although for something like what's trying to do, I would use ntpd on the master Windows box since it is much, much more flexible and configurabel and just use windows time service to keep the rest synchronized to that.
You could do this, but if their server is supplying a cryptographically signed response then your fake server won't do you much good unless you can crack their secret key.
I use the Outlook plug-in every day at work. We make pretty heavy use of PGP here. I'm the only GPG user in my group and I don't have any problems interoperating. The interface (the GNU Privacy Assistant) has a few quirks but it is entirely functional.
I agree with your points, but if Oracle Corp actually does move their business systems off Sun and onto a Lintel cluster then it's news no matter if Ellison is a dork or not.
Hell, it's news for him to even announce that they are going to try.
If you found this interesting then you really should read the relavent thread from lkml yourself and maybe gain some context around this quote as there was more to it than what you appear to think.
I urge you to read (and think) for yourself instead of relying on choice quotes from Slashdot.
I use them every day at work mostly in combination with Outlook 2002. Importing keys is a little weird, but it only took me about 2 mins to figure it out. The GUI isn't the pretiest but it functions fine.
They exist now. XFS and ACL's work extremely well in combination with SAMBA.
Granted, I think the only major distribution with all of these by default is Mandrake, but the software exists today and is pretty sweet. Even an MCSE would feel comfortable once it was set up.
I bought the Windows version last week and I played so much multiplayer over the weekend that I just about hurled on my monitor.
Yesterday I showed some friends multiplayer RTCW under Linux and for many of them I think it was the first time that they have ever contemplated Linux as a gaming platform.
1. Filed my federal, state, and local taxes
2. Registered my car
3. Paid the bill for my water and trash (city provides these services)
4. Complained about a fallen tree over in the park next to my house.
5. Checked my property tax account balance.
6. My wife applied for college and registered for classes.
I did all of this online. Never spoke to anyone on the telephone or visited an office. I live in Ohio.
I think most people don't realize how much of this stuff is already there or else they are waiting for it to become "free."
The fact is that a national government portal would be helpful only for things that the national government does. I already have a city portal and a state portal and they are quite useful. The private sector fills in the gaps nicely (bill payment)
I had the same freezing problem with my USB mouse also. Once or twice a week it would just lock in place and I'd have to unplug it and plug it back in. I'm pretty sure it went away when I put 2.4.10 on my system. I had been running the Debian 2.4.9-K7 image.
There are definitely more important things than clock speed in a notebook computer. I have a 700Mhz PIII subnotebook and the thing is a scorcher when run at full speed so I almost always leave it at 500Mhz and it is still quite warm, which means the fan runs, draining the battery.
Less power consumption doesn't necessarily mean less performance. It might mean that the power is used more efficiently.
Intel has woken up and they are making the right moves to counter Transmeta by finally recognizing that in a laptop, power and heat do matter!
I do believe in the long run software based chips that do run time optimization and caching will be an effective design for all sorts of uses (desktop, server, and laptops). If it turns out to be true then we'll have Transmeta to thank for pioneering the market.
Point these 2 alias at your Exchange server.
Set up your email client to use IMAP4 for access to the Exchange server email and LDAP to access the Exchange email directory.
If you use Outlook for scheduling, learn how to publish your free/busy times to a URL and how to configure Outlook to check a URL for free/busy information.
After you finish all of this scratch your head and ask yourself why you are using Exchange Server.
And then ask yourself why Microsoft chose to require Outlook to have a set of local folders (local.pst file) when used with IMAP.
The DCMA doesn't say anything about disabling an infringer's account. It says that a network provider must act swiftly to remove the infringing material if they want to qualify for liability protection under the DCMA.
In this case, the material was on a USENET server somewhere. Time Warner made the decision to cut this guy's account. It had nothing to do with the DCMA. It may certainly have had something to do with the fact that Time Warner is also a major content producer.
You seem to be suggesting that since the cable provider is the only high speed option that somehow the public should have control over the network. Unfortunately we the people gave that up when we let our city councils grant exclusive deals to Cable providers without extracting something in return. If you don't like it, run for office or let your representative know that you want them to play hardball when the contract comes up for renewal.

Anybody out there have any success compiling and using OpenBSD's isakmpd on Linux?
I really need to use aggressive mode but the patches for freeswan are ancient/unmaintained.
A pointer would be greatly appreciated.
That's true, but you have to start somewhere.

I can give you more details if you need it.
Who says the firewall and the nat have to be the same box? Just because this is usually one device doesn't mean it must always be that way

The gain is obviously highly dependant on the application.
I tested the Intel compiler against GCC using Robert Hyatt's excellent crafty chess engine and the speedup was only 7%. (Athlon 1.2Ghz)
On a PIII-500Mhz the speedup was only 2.5%
Of course for other application results with vary, but I for me the Intel compiler isn't worth the money or the effort.
Hats off to the GCC team for building one of the greatest tools of all time. You can't beat GCC for sheer usefulness and ubiquity.
This is true, but user testing is supposed to catch this so that it can be rolled back in the next -pre release.
The problem is hardly anybody tests -pre patches but everybody complains when a -final comes out screwed up.

Enjoy Japan. I did a year of high school there near the high point of the bubble (1988) and it was freakin' fantastic!
I still go there once or twice a year and I absolutely love that country.

Brick level backup doesn't destroy single instance storage until you restore something. Then a new instance is created for the restored items.

I didn't say that. I'm on your side on this issue btw - read back a few posts.
Despite the fact that I'm proud to be an American citizen it is embarrasing when people point to US laws as though they govern "the Internet."
I wasn't trying to take issue with what you said, just trying to make a point about common courtesy in a worldwide public forum.
It's nice that US federal law prohibits this, but I don't think Ed cares about that since he sports a UK email address.

Wrong. You right to swing your Nimda ends at my port 80.
Read what he wrote more carefully:
He wasn't replacing access, he was replacing an existing application. The application happened to be written in access.
It's all about the applications. The development environment is important if you are the developer but the users don't give a hoot.
Snort has been picking this up as IDS297 (directory traversal) and 102:1:1 (ISS Unicode attack) at our location since about 9:00am EDT.
We are seeing very heavy activity (not as bad as Code Red) since then.

I've read the DCMA and I suggest you do the same.
