Some @home providers don't give a flying fsck what you run, but block SMB by default (a Good Thing to help prevent stupid people). Some won't cap uploads appreciably. A couple of the @home affiliates (mostly major telcos with more clout than Excite) let you run servers without problems.
Telnet can, in fact, be replaced with ssh. More than that, I think it should and must be replaced with ssh.
I can hear it already..."But I can't get at my shell using SSH from my Windows box." You shouldn't have said that. Just go get some window putty. Put it in c:\windows\ for best results. It does raw connections and ssh connections, along with telnet connections. And it does it better than that piece of shit telnet client that comes with Windows.
Umm, no. This would not be Torvalds 2.0, rather, it would be Linus 3.0. If you go to his homepage, you can see Linus 2.0. No pictures of 3.0 yet, or the source photos. 8;o)
Ask your local college student how they study in public spaces. Bonus points if they're also a geek looking for good ergonomics.
You've probably heard my other suggestion a few thousand times by now: Flex every once in a while, move around. If some part of your body starts to hurt, stop doing that for a while, or change positions.
I use Debian on my machine and have exim as my MTA. It configures in about 15 seconds from the.deb, complete with MAPS RBL support. Its extremely fast and reliable.
You say this all now, but this is an important issue to me. My father is abusive and doesn't pay child support. Support orders are damn near unenforcable over state lines.
Personally, I'm quite happy that my folks got divorced, my father really never acted like it. I am not speaking by my mother's influence here, this is a real problem. Child support collection my father's five-figure debt accrued over the last decade will mean the difference between whether or not I will be able to complete my CIS degree or not.
I'm quite amazed how little consideration for the kids you apparently have here. Are you an interstate deadbeat?
Of course, if you live in Oregon, you can stay home and vote at the same time. All elections are vote by mail. When you do business at the DMV, they're required by law to ask if you'd like to register to vote. Ballots are mailed out today in Oregon, expect yours by Monday.
You really have to make a dedicated effort to *not* vote in Oregon. There's no excuse for giving your government your opinion, if only to piss off Sizemore and Mabon.
What do the candidates have to say about child support collection? As the laws stand right now, its nearly entirely impossible to collect child support across state lines. I'm vastly interested in what they think.
I often hear people saying that its best to drain Ni-Cd's completely before recharging or they'll develop problem areas. To me, this indicates that they have the wrong charger. They're using a charger meant for Nickel Metal Hydride or other cheaper charger.
Ni-Cds require digital chargers to charge properly. With one, you really don't have to think about draining them, just slap them in there overnight and you're good to go.
I have been using the same Ni-Cd laptop battery with very little change in lifespan since 1994 because I use the right charger.
Often times the manufacturer will give you a shitty charger that doesn't charge Ni-Cds properly. Its best to go get a third-party charger, from my experiance.
This also applies to other kinds of rechargable Ni-Cd batteries.
Lockard ridicules the "trickle-down technology" theorem which holds that digital machinery will eventually become cheap enough for everybody, just like phones, electricity and cars.
Cars? Those are cheap enough for everybody? I don't think so. After insurance, licencing, gas and maintenance, cars, for many people, are a financial burden greater than housing.
I can afford to drive a car, but I really prefer having money to do other things. I don't see a need to drive to work and work to drive.
Yes, but you do realise that the biggest potential market is going to pretty much collapse within my lifetime? The Chinese prefer male children, and they're only allowed to have one.
As a Canadian stuck in the United States, I've always wondered just what it is Americans are compensating for. I'm starting to think that the larger/faster the vehicle is that the guy's driving, the smaller the penis they're compensating for.
At my old school's Students Recycling Used Technology program (Hey, Hammy!), desktop boxen were always positioned sideways, usually with cables on the left and front panel on the right, tower boxen usually placed backwards in more easily accessible locations. The only drawback to these solutions is that they're somewhat inelegant.
A geek is someone with heavy interest in a specific field. There are band geeks, computer geeks, unix geeks, etc. Geek by itself connotes a technical field (unix, networking, computer).
Nerd is a geek, but none of the socially redeeming properties.
Geek can be a compliment, but nerd is immediately an insult. Usage of geek is similar to nigger. Only people who it applies to can call someone one. Geeks can call other people geeks without problem, but someone who's not a geek calls someone a geek, its an insult.

The people have spoken nationwide, and it has been in favor of Gore.
The only honorable thing for Bush to do is politely step down and awknowledge what the people want.
Either way, I've got mine in writing.

We get pain feedback for a reason. 8:o)
OK, now the irony in this is the Republicans badgered our Secratary of State here in Oregon, threatening a recount in Oregon.
It didn't happen, yet, thankfully. Although some random can still throw Oregon into a recount by filing the right papers and paying $8,000 by Dec 12.
Its not much, and its computer hardware only, but here's a few hardware easter eggs.
Wait...don't we have the closest thing reasonably feasable right now? Isn't it called Ground Control? And isn't it at thesync?
We all love Debian here.
Great...now we cross Pokemon with Sonic the Hedgehog...Mortal Kombat with Super Mario Brothers...this will get interesting! 8:o)
So you're the one who invented all that stupid WinHardware! Bastard!

Still, China's in for a population implosion.

Alright then, if you use bash, add this to your .bashrc
alias quake2='/usr/local/bin/quake2/quake2'
Now you don't have to do that path every time.
Uhh, you say you need to type the entire path, why not just do this: /usr/local/bin/quake2
./quake2
$ cd
$
Its really not hard. And it helps keep everything organised and relatively findable.
And not to nitpick, but we call them directories.
I commute by bike.
