problem is that I'm the sysadmin and try to do this, but I have to battle upper management to refrain from imposing naming schemes one more obscure than the other. I read once that this situation is because management has no idea what "fordprefect" is and want it to be called r1dbsrv2 and this only because management sees those systems only like once a year. Problem is that then it is the sysadmins who have to use that braindead naming every day.
I would prefer that at least some archiving institutions would ignore robots.txt, maybe even by having actual people surfing the site and storing it via wwwoffle proxy. Then, in case the site goes down, the archive could then be made available.
robots.txt is often "misused" either because people don't want it to show up in google or because it's a dynamic site. There should be a new option "archive: no" to be added if you want explicitely to disallow archiving.
Just substituting "<" by "<" in user's input has kept me protected from cross site scripting and other html attacks since years. I did not find a need to check for anything else like ">" or even interpret the whole string for any occurences of html meta tags.
Is this so simple? Why doesn't everyone do it? Intersting: I had to write the subject like "s/</&lt;/g" to get it to appear correctly as "s/</</g" in the slashdot preview.
when I program unix scripts, I don't do it in perl or php or python. But in good old shell. Preferably ksh (or maybe zsh) but not bash (reply here if you wanna start a discussion on braindead pipe handling of bash).
Just doing a command line with lots of pipes one after the other automatically creates as many processes as you have pipes. It's beautifully simple.
In that respect, unix has had the multi core idea since it's beginnings. Then came along the monolythic languages like perl where you have to jump through hoops to get that paralellism back which you have right away in good old shell.
How's that new Windows shell comparing? Monolytic or implicit thread/process creation?
if you can do without a paging/swapping file/parition, then just do it. If at some point your system then crawls to a halt or is refusing to start processes (out of memory) then you know why that paging area is needed.
4GB is enough? Could still be short in some circumstances.
if those informations are generally not stored it's becoming more difficult to just walk/hack in and take millions of cards. That's probably why the TJX hack was done using online sniffing during several months.
you are NOT allowed in any case to store the cardholder verification number. Unfortunately there are still lots of places where you can do transactions only with the CC number and expiration date.
this is just a first... we will get duplicate stories on slashtod on this subject for the next 10 million years. And when it then finally happens, it gets tagged "oldnews"
same to me. Max $300 is the most important one. So mostly all "netbooks" coming after the eeePC got it all wrong. The eee had success because of the price.
I used mine to backup my camera pictures to an external drive (do that with an iPhone, or any other phone, pda, psion...). I also resized pictures and posted them to forums easily.
And do the usual stuff, reading webmail, slashdot, watching youtube. I did not need G3, free wirless is available a lot (at least on my USA vacation). The small screen only got in the way on google maps, but thanks to alt+mouse I could size and move the window as I liked.
every idiot has a network traffic monitor, even if it's only the LED on the router. So if it still shows traffic a long time after the 2 minutes preview has finished you can conclude that there must be the rest of the movie coming down the line.
For me a netbook is also defined by it's pricetag. If it's cheap enough you don't get worried of thieves, you can take it everywhere. If it ever gets lost, there's no $2000 (vaio) gone.
why not include the Atari_ST bombs, which were mimiked after the original Mac bombs. But if the bomb handler crashes too, you get some sort of elongated bombs all over the screen which we nicknamed atomic bombs:-)
I wrote a script which fills up a CD/DVD with par2 files until it's full and then writes the image. So you can still recover your data even if some bits miss.
Why I do this? Well I have had too many occasions where I read a CD and find a couple of bits toggled compared to the original image. Typically you write and then verify and the verify comes back bad. Another bad burn? No just one bit. So I add par2 files and don't care anymore if some bits are faulty:-)
Problem: it takes quite some time for doing par2 on a dvd and of course only works on disks which you don't fill up completely with user data.
waht is very funny is US reality shows in german TV. Example: Orange County Choppers....
The show is full of beeps. The german voice-over does not contain beeps, it's featuring the full collection of german swear words. I bet the translators have fun finding always new meanings for the single english word.
you should panic if it's for weblogic. Your oracle databases are not open to the Internet. But weblogic, or especially this buggy plugin in your apache, is! That means: potentially free access to your webserver!
When I started to do yoga, I rediscovered my body.
Previously it was just a means to transport my brain from point A to point B and to control my fingers as brain-computer interface. Now yoga showed me that there is more.
Choose the right style though, there are from simple meditation to strong aerobic styles. In my opinion Power, Ashtanga, Iyengar are most demanding. In the USA, Power Yoga is well established. In Europe look for Ashtanga Yoga.
I used signum for all my scientific stuff. Now that was kick-ass for wysiwyg. The printout was exactly what was on screen. Freely movable text, you could even write text on top of other. And still very fast on that 8Mhz machine, even compared to what todays word processors accomplish at 3Ghz.
In some parts of europe it is legal to have Zone-1 DVDs in store. Those are often released before the movie makes it to the cinemas here. There is a DVD store at the local theatre.
So it happens that the DVD is in the shop while that same movie is currently playing in the cinema. Does this create less success for the movie? Never happened.
I even find it great you can buy the movie you just saw. Like buying the CD of the rock group after the concert.
do you mean that even by applying some tricks to get 2 different DNS entries directed to the same SSL server (using wildcard SSL certificates) some browsers do not at all like that? I always thought this is a cool feature and wondered why noone uses it.
Would be bad if browsers don't play well with wildcard certs.
we had one machine named by the datacenter location. Then this had to be moved, but keeping it's function. It was a windows server. Renaming the thing messed up as well some windows internals then also monitoring software, backup software etc... etc... Was quite the same workload as if we just reinstalled the server!
So we decided to abandon again location based naming.

and another reply... and even more of the subject is missing. This is quite fun...
Maybe this "feature" in slashcode needs some correction.
and doing a reply on this changes the reply subject ...

well then reject registrations from New Deli :-)
Or combinations: "you are not allowed registering with gmail from New Deli"

TJX was PCI-DSS !

get the admin account back?
Several options:
* boot from the install media
* restore from backup
* mount disk on other system
