True, however what happens when a small wedge shaped robot with self righting capabilities and loads of torque met another small wedge shaped robot with self righting capabilities and loads of torque?
We were offering a linux-firewall, VPN solution to a hospital and turns out one of the machines we sent out had a bad token ring card, that mixed with an obscure bug in the Token ring driver, (Which has since been fixed) it would cause linux to die quite often. To the point where the computer would accept no keyboard input, would cease logging, and for all intents and purposes was a dead box. Yet the machine continued to route traffic and continued to function as a VPN.
Any listening ports were ignored, but the routing still took place. I never thought of it as a way to make the router more secure, but I guess in that way it makes since. It would really suck to have to completely shutdown everything to have to malke routing changes though, so I'm not sure this is the best solution for high availability router use.
Then again, when Be ported their OS off the proprietary platform, and onto a PC, was the best thing that ever happened to them. Now Be Inc., is worth what? 2 trillion USD?
You are joking right? Be recently went through liquidation and is no longer a commercial entity.
Everyone is saying that Ad's are important here, and I agree that they are, but it's not like you are *FORCED* to even look at the ad's. I've used AIM for awhile now because of the ability to talk to just about everyone I know on the internet.
The best part of that, is that when I'm using the AOL client I don't get ad's either. I used to use thier tiktcl version for Unix (Which doesn't serve up ads), and in windows I would always keep AIM minimized to systray and only reply to people, or have my buddy pounce configured to open a message window when someone logs on. No ad's at all.
Of course that is all Moot now, as I'm using Trillian so i don't have to Run ICQ and Aim at the same time, and it gave me a reason to login to the MSN network with my spamcatch hotmail account and talk to the few people I know who use MSN.
Actually, I'm not sure of that. All these chairs are all chairs that Herman miller has already sold. They aren't getting anymore $$$ from the auction of these.
Besides, doesn't change of ownership void any warrenty they have?
I'm planning on watching the Alias Marathon, that is if I can remember which channel it is on. They are doing all the episodes and I'm definately going to TiVo them.
Doing a network sync or logging in does use quote a bit of bandwidth. But perhaps I was too general in my wording above.
When an ISP/Telco/Cable company sells to residential, they are doing that selling based on the fact that *MOST* residential users will be using the service after hours of the business users, and they provision bandwidth and hardware based on that. (I may even be off by saying most, I *KNOW* that the cable company I used to wrk for did just that though)
When a residential user is using the bandwidth during business hours regularly there is less capacity to oversell the bandwidth. (Meaning they sell the business accounts based on the fact that the majority of businesses are 8AM-6PM, and residential based on the fact that the majority of residential use is 5-12PM. This isn't a hard number, just the fact that on all the graphing and business models I've seen this is how it is planned, obviously there is some overlap.
By getting the users who are connected during business hours onto a business rate, and those connected during residential hours on the residential rate allows the company to know exactly what kind of bandwidth they will have available for the businesses and sell that bandwidth/QOS based on that.
It's all a law of averages, and overall a few residential users staying home for the day sick, or working from home won't affect the averages all that much, the users who just have a home office and are sending large files over VPN's for residential rates to deserve to pay the business rates.
Again, it is thier business, they have the freedoms to run it how they see fit so long as they break no laws.
Actually, what they are doing here is to give themselves the out to do just that. Cut you off or force an upgrade (With corrosponding price increase) to business class account.
The easiest way for companies to do this (And I have already seen it as I work for a company who sells and maintains a VPN Solution) is to block UDP port 500, as well as IP Protocol 50/51. If they want to be really anal they also block TCP1443, but that would stop other ssl traffic not just the VPN.
Alot will also block IP Protocol 57 (SKIP) just to be thorough.
Why would they do this? Because business accounts use more bandwidth on average. Lets take your average non-tech, just someone who needs access to the internal server to do thier work. They work from home for a day and use more bandwidth in that day than they normally use in 2 weeks. This makes perfect business sense, and is well within thier rights. Just as it is within your rights to get another ISP.
Well, if your ISP allows use of procmail, you can use procmail to just scan all the mail and flag is with X-Spambouncer: headers which you could filter on in your mail client. Other than that I'm not familiar with any microsoft based spam filters, as I've not needed to use them.
This is actually a pretty good question, perhaps not worded in the best way, but a good question nonetheless.
Does anyone really know what powers he would have if he were given this job? Is this a all 3 must agree to make a ruling type thing? Or just simple majority?
I'd like to know exactly what powers the 3 reps will have when dealing with microsoft.
Do you have any special agenda to get across or have anything for/against Microsoft that would make it so you were not impartial in your oversight of any federal rulings? As much as most people hate them this needs to be done in a fair and impartial way. WIll you be able to be fair and impartial?
If you have the ability to install a mail server of some sort on your local lan, use fetchmail with that, you can use spambouncer on that machine and use your workstation to pop to the mail server and have everything filtered on that end. Granted, you still pay any fees on the download of the spam, but it's a solution that might be workable if you have broadband or even want to setup a linux gateway with diald.
With spambouncer you can just have it add headers that you could filter on, and you would also be able to add headers using procmail to filter any mailing list mail you get.
If you get any significant amount of mail per day I can't stress enough the usefulness of procmail.
Again, might not be worth the effort to setup, but if you are like me and have had the same e-mail address for 6+ years, chances are you've managed to get on many mailing lists. =(
I must say if you are having alot of problems with Spam and have procmail on your mail system you can use Spambouncer. It filters out Chinese, Korean, blacklists, and various other spamhosts easilly. Since November 29 when I rotated my procmail-log It has filtered:
I was in the first couple Zones in luclin and getting the horrid frame rates. While i guess there is a chance it's my system I highly doubt it. Installed Win2K 2 weeks ago and have the latest drivers for my SBLive!, Geforce2GTS 32MB, have 512MB PC133 Ram, Athlon 1100, and over 30GB of free space on my hard drive. Even spent the night defragging my drives to no effect. It takes about 4 hours of non-stop play in an uncrowded zone to crash me, took 3 minutes (literally) in a luclin Zone.
Don't get me wrong, the game is nice, and I'll continue to play, but I just can't play in those zones until the bugs are fixed.
One of the major issues that people are having is that 4 hours before the patch was completed on the Required System specs page they had Win95 and DirectX8.0a. But when the servers went up they had removed that and said that that wouldn't be supported. Now I can understand not supporting it, but giving 4 hours of notice? Thats just not right.
One of the major issues is that under windows XP and windows 2000 there is a major memory leak. After 2-3 minutes of playing on a machine with 512MB of ram I crawl to a 1fps grind before finally just having the machine reboot on me.
It's painful.
I've decided just to hunt in the empty Zones and wait a month before doing any serious Moon hopping.
Enjoy the game everyone, it's pretty. (buggy =)
Check out the Buggy Naked Pictures from the expansion. I guess someone didn't have all the files downloaded or DX wasn't loading properly. Makes for interesting grouping...

I get twice that in spam a day. (Which never reaches my inbox thanks to Spambouncer)
Total e-mail, I get ~1000 a day, only 2-3 of which actually go into my inbox. The rest being filtered by procmail into various mailing list folders to which I subscribe. Out of those 2-3 at least one is a forward from my mother which has 10 pages of AOL addresses and a little poem on the bottom which tells me to forward this to 10 people and my cat will have puppies.
$20 a month to download a few MP3's that I probably wouldn't like? I can get quite a few CD's a month at that price (certainly more than I use KazaA for)
It's great that this is backwards compatable, transitioning from one technology is very difficult in itself, going cold turkey where you have to get rid of your current hardware and migrate completely is even worse.
Being able to use your current stuff in conjunction with the new stuff is what will make technologies like this able to improve and expand.
Above is another example of someone who doesn't read the article in hopes of getting the elusive first post.
The article specifically states the the French court ordered Yahoo! to remove all the auctions from all the sites that were *REACHABLE* by french citizens. This means even servers hosted in other countries. The United States has effectively told Yahoo! that the French courts order violates the first amendment and therefore is not enforcable.
So the servers from Yahoo! hosted in France are still subject to the ruling from the French courts, the servers hosted in the United States are not.
I never had any luck getting windows 3.11 to accept more than 16MB of ram on my P2 450 when i was fooling around with it. How much ram do you have on your machine?

Seems to me this guy has figured out that as well. Only he only lost his "paper" once, and wants a solution to "save" it while working on it.
Hybernation just happens to be the version of saving he wants to implement.

Yep... just like your car speeds up if 500 cars stop are taken off the road in georgia. Well, that is unless you aren't driving those Georgia roads.
