  1. Re:Live Jounal? Hah... on LiveJournal Servers Go Down · · Score: 1

    Thats why you have redundancy in your payment gateways. Use two or more. Use anet and plugnpay.

    Anet was hosed a few months ago due to DoS attacks. But all was good because we had a backup provider.

  2. Re:paying for wireless? on Is WiFi Access Worth $10/hour? · · Score: 1

    So like I'm going to go down the block and sit in some coffee shop with my laptop to send out all my spam?

    That seems unlikely to me. And it's not hard to have even the cheapest access point block outgoing port 25 access.

    As for bandwidth hogs, if I'm in a small coffee shop which has 1Mbit DSL or 1.5Mbit, cable.... Right now I'm only going to see 4 - 6 people using laptops. Are all of them sitting on Kazaa downloading porn? That takes too long. I don't want to sit in a coffee shop doing that for 18 hours.

    I think most of them are just reading email and browsing the web.

    For free access (where free != steeling) we are talking termporary access, which is not condusive to high voulume bandwidth hoging and spamming.

  3. Re:Pay? It's free nearly everywhere in Seattle on Is WiFi Access Worth $10/hour? · · Score: 1

    I fogot to add that even the grocery store/deli across the street from where I work has free wireless access.

    It's very easy to find free and legal wireless access in Seattle. $10/hour is just crazy.

  4. Pay? It's free nearly everywhere in Seattle on Is WiFi Access Worth $10/hour? · · Score: 1

    Almost every independant coffee shop in my area offers free and open wireless. Just bring your laptop in, open it up, and you are on.

    I live in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood and there are 2 places I know off within 2 blocks that offer this. And I've only lived in my current apartment for 2 weeks. I'm sure there are more that I haven't found yet.

    Fortunatly they used the same naming scheme for their html files as they had for previous change logs :)

  6. Re:University of Alberta on Ask Theo de Raadt about OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    Probably because Bob Beck, who is a big OpenBSD developer, works there. And check out where www.openbsd.org is hosted. Thats not a coincidence either.

  7. Re:Results of OpenBSD's code audit on Ask Theo de Raadt about OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    I already have a pretty good idea of what his answer will be to this one. Read bugtraq long enough, (and talk to theo a few times in person) and it becomes pretty obvious.

    Their CVS repository is public, and they have a commit logs mailing list. You can also look at http://www.OpenBSD.org/plus.html for really important changes, and ones for which patches were made. The other BSDs (and anyone else for that matter) are free to check these resources as often as they want for the results of the OpenBSD source audit.

  8. Go2Net Does! on UNIX Internship Programs? · · Score: 1

    Go2Net often has unix interns. Just yesterday we
    hired one of them on full time.

    Check out http://www.go2netjobs.com

    We are a web company, that does a bit of everything. metacrawler is us, hypermart is us, we also own dogpile and several other sites.

  9. Re:More often BSD, sometimes GPL.. on Feature:GPL vs BSD · · Score: 1

    Take a look at the BSD license again. It clearly says:

    "1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer, verbatim and that no modifications are made prior to this point in the file.
    2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution."

    So you have to give credit to the author when ever you redistribute source our binaries.

  10. Re:Ms took BSD code! We do live in a GPL world! on Feature:GPL vs BSD · · Score: 1

    Microsoft actualy *bought* their BSD tcp/ip stack from BSDi for something like $10Million. They did not steal it.

    And the BSD license does not permit companies like Microsoft from stealing code and not giving credit. Read the BSD license some time and look really closely at clause 2, which states:

    "Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution."

    So they have to say where they got the code from. They can't just steal it and not give any one credit.
    And if the BSD license "drain developers from the BSD space" why are the *BSD projects still around? I don't see a mass exodus of develpers taking off to go work for Microsoft.
