  1. Re:Barracuda - I'll second that. on Exchange Compatible Spam Filters? · · Score: 1

    I installed one almost a year ago & it's worked great.

    There are some features like quarantine & an outlook plugin, but it works well even without those - the user's dont need to know it's there if you dont want them too.

    There have been a few fuel cell cars on the road in Vancouver, BC for a few months already.

    I may not agree with em, but it's not my place to go burn them down if I dont.

    I'll appoligize (as a christian) on behalf of whoever ripped off your fish, as that was a very "un-christian" act.

  7. Re:okay, do they have the $3mil or not? on TrekUnited Reports Mission Successful at Trek Rallies · · Score: 1

    But the campaign claims to be very close to securing $3 million from three anonymous donors who helped fund a commercial space flight venture.

    Sounds like they dont actually have the $3 million in their hands, but that the people who pleged it actually do have it, and would spend it on the show.

  8. Just dont accidently recycle it on Build Your Own MP3 Player · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Might be a danger of confusing it with the empty pack of mints in your pocket and tossing out the wrong one.

  9. Backups! on 100 GB Email Account · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a good place to store backups.

    All you'd need is a script to create & email entire backups to an address there.

    They'll probably just "forget" that ever was mentioned, like they "forgot" Spock saying that WWIII took place in 1997, during TOS episode with the first appearance of KHAAAAAAAAN!!!!

    well you have to forgive them for that one, place any story in the future, and sooner or later we'll actually reach that date.

  12. Might be a good alternative for some. on SimChurch · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "God is present wherever his people gather"

    that (or something very similar) was what my pastor said when i asked him about marring me at my parents house instead of the church building itself. I dont see what that same concept couldnt apply to an online church.

    Im actually quite tempted to "show up" may 11th. I was raised a christian, still consider myself one, however for various reasons I rarely attend services anymore.... (mainly lack of motivation on my part to actully get up, get ready & drive over to the church) I fully realize thats no excuse at all.. but visiting a virtual service or two might be just what the doctor ordered.

  13. Re:Password-encrypted Zips on Best Antivirus Options for a Mailserver? · · Score: 1

    No server based AV solution I know of will stop the latest wave of random password zip viruses. That is because the AV program cannot scan inside the zip file. I've posted a patch to the clamav-users mailing list that marks all password-encrypted zip files as suspect and thus can be quarantined for manual extaction and scanning if desired.

    I just unintentionally discovered a way to block these.

    On our existing server, I have a commercial scanner, which im using with qmail-scanner. I setup qmailscanner's - perlscanner to block zip files.

    if a "normal" zip file comes through, it is unziped & the individual files scanned. (it is not detected as a .zip)

    if a encrypted zip comes across, unzipping it fails, it is detected by qmailscanner as a zip and blocked.

    yeah, thats definately one solution, but imposes limits on users that I'd rather not.

  15. Re:Clam on Best Antivirus Options for a Mailserver? · · Score: 1

    Yep... I had the same thought about mirroring, seems its one per country or something like that, with the mirror for my location already ran by a company my best friend works for.

    looked like the support they wanted was virus signatures, etc as the more of those, the more reliable it is.

    I just wanted to be safe, and not switch to this without checking it out first.

    thanks!

  16. Re:Ummm.... -Yup.. it will be microsoft... on SCO Postpones Lawsuit, Now Threatening Two · · Score: 1

    after all, that would make about as much sence(and headlines) as anything else they've done.

  17. Re:Business reality vs. FOSS idealism. on Running a Business on Open Source Software? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    smoon's got a point - and you might be best of with a mix...

    Use open source wherever you can, but for some of the apps, you might need commercial ones.

    The commercial Accounting/Business management CRM, etc solutions that are out there are still years ahead of anything open source - they might be your best choice - and there are some available that will run on an open source OS (even for the desktop)

    (i work for a company that has such a product...)

  18. rotate the knock on "Port Knocking" For Added Security · · Score: 2, Interesting

    one could also change the sequence of ports that are used to be based on some key/progression/timestamp? so the knock is constantly changing... so even if someone sniffs the knock, it wont help.

  20. Pricing Scheme / Subscription Model. on Ask Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik · · Score: 1

    A question from the "enterprise point of view"

    The company I work for sells redhat servers to run our accounting software. Technically we should be selling the enterprise ES or AS versions, yet the yearly subscription is same price as the initial OS purchase. All we (and alot of others) require is the OS, and security updates. support we can handle in-house, "major upgrades" generally come when the server is replaced and the OS can be purchased again.

    $100 or so per year for updates was fair... how do you justify a jump to $350 for the same thing?

  21. do not spam registry on Senate Passes Anti-Spam Bill · · Score: 1

    their idea of a do not spam registry is interesting, *if* it was respected by spammers (or if there were penaltys imposed on those who ignore it) people who sign up for the resigtry aren't likely to respond to it anyhow.

    Vulcan was named by a Canadian Pacific Railway employee after the roman god of fire. Its mainly an agricultural community, but developed into a bit of a tourist destination as well, wonder if the name had something to do with it :)

    another place, that *i* think would make the must-see-before-you-die list, is Lake Louise in the rocky mountains, not exactly a geek destination, but there is no place more beautifull.
