  1. Uh? on Who Has Faster Pipes? Linux, Win2000, WinXP Compared · · Score: 1

    Maybe the bash script just ran faster under linux than windows. why not create a program that is compiled that does the pipe work instead of a bash script. There are still apples and oranges being compared here.

    Likely the word "reich" (sound like rish) is used because frankly it sounds cooler than relm.

    Blah blah blah... Third Relm ...blah blah blah.

    That is lame. Also when I was in school it was always taught to us as "Third Reich".

    Ya no kidding. When I was in Tokyo I got onto the train and I was wondering if they left at exactly the time the said they would. The clock struck 15 after and the train doors started up and took off. Every train every time. I was impressed. Of course here in Seattle people can't make up their stupid minds about getting "light rail" or not.

Many of us have linux in place and running well, replacing the Microsoft dependancy while getting kudos from management and doing thing that are impossible under windows. If we get purchased by one of the Microsoft puppets. (Or the Natzi's at Disney... no facial hair? I will be one that will sue the crap out of the company) Have to do with this entire thread? Also what are you saying you can do under Linux that you can't do under Windows? Please provide a couple of examples so us people who can't read your mind can understand where you are coming from.

  7. Re:because... on Software Transferability? (or the lack of it) · · Score: 1

    Just because you have a cd-rom with a bunch of pits and ridges doesn't mean you have a *tangible* good called software. You can think of an OS as a service. The service it provides is it allows you to use this piece of hardware that you bought. All the OS is is an interface to a number crunch (your cpu and parts). Nothing more nothing less. Even though you purchased a box with a cd-rom in it...it doesn't mean you have anything tangible because you can't feel software. You can't hold software. You can't burn software.

    too bad it wasn't exchange. with exchange it just maintains one copy of that attachement and only gets send to the client when someone actually opens it up.

  9. Re:OO design on When Do You Kiss Backwards Compatibility Goodbye? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yes it may lead to some bloat...but face it. Any backwards compatibility *could* be considered bloat because what you have is code in the binary that isn't being used when the most up-to-date user of the binary is using it.

    In saying that...one of the main purposes of something like COM is to provide backwards compatibility. Like other people say...when you have millions who use your stuff you really don't know what they do with it. So you really don't know what reordering the order of those function calls will do to some older user of your code. Maybe it will cause a race condition and break them. Who knows....that is why maintaining backwards compability on projects that have millions of users is a huge undertakening.

    My current ISP only said that as long as any network activities cause interferance with their other customers (and that the activity wasn't illegal, which included running a smtp that just sends spam ). Hell SpeakEasy.net ENCOURAGES people to run their own game servers and web servers. They actually advertise that they WANT people to run their servers and get the most out of your DSL. They will even POST your game server's IP on their public gaming web sites so all can get to it. So...do you think SpeakEasy.net doesn't want you to run your own servers? Ah...they advertise it as one of the things you can do to get the most out of your DSL.

    Ah..I thought everyone here was a nerd? DHCP has it speced out so that it will try to give you the same IP so long as you are around during the time your IP expires or when the DHCP server tries to do some scavaging. I would recommend a good TCP/IP book for you.

  16. Re:They had better not start switching existing cu on SBC Wants To Switch DSL Format To PPPoE · · Score: 0

    There is a simple solution for ISP's if they are concerned about people abusing DHCP by saying they are only gonna have one system but then plugging in more than 1. (but with DHCP ISP's I have never heard them ask how many system I am hooking up). The solution is too hand out only static IPs. That way they are controlling how many computers are actually being attached to their network. So if someone wants another static they pay for it. So that person may or maynot go out and get some sort of firewall/nat server setup so they can share that 1 static IP. Personally that is what I am doing. To bad some some script kiddies like to pounce on my NAT server. It is sorta funny to watch what the logs produce.

    Maybe you are talking about WindowsXP? You know the one you described as a "version of 2000 that has had it's securities stripped so as to be compatible with ME". Well that is simply fud. The Home Edition of Windows XP which you are refering too is identical to the Professional version in the relm of security except that you can not join it to a domain. Too bad security it built all the way through the OS so yo can't just "strip" it out and hope to have a version that runs like Professional.

    Hey buddy...use the product. Windows XP has two different flavors. Home Edition and Professional. Both of them can create a limited access user account where that user doesn't run as an administrator. Why don't you try to use the product, look it over and figure it out before you ramble on about stuff you don't know about.

    You can create a limited user on the Home Edition. But like every linux distro I have used it creates an Administrator (aka. root) account first so you can actually create those limited user accounts.

  22. Re:How DID they do that? on TCP/MS, We'll Cure What Ails You · · Score: 0

    Because it only effects humans and you are a human. Just as these "email" viruses only effect mail programs which have the ability to run attachments which contains scripts. Wow..lets see...I only know of one email program that can do that (Outlook) but there could be others. Since Unix doesn't have a concept like Ole it couldn't happen on a Unix system (at less currently). So they shouldn't be called "email virii" they should be called "virii that effect mail programs that have the ability to run attachments that contain script"

Person calling "It is set to smoe@slacker.org" Verizon "Well we don't allow that anymore...change it to your own email account or use a different SMTP server.
