>urr doesn't that make the directory non browseable?
Yes. That's a good thing, for the reasons described in the parent post. It bears repeating that he did NOT say to set/home/* non-executable, but only the/home/ directory itself. This allows users access to subdirectories of/home/, but only the ones they know about independently.
An "ls -l --recursive/home/" will fail to find any world-readable directories, because it won't be able to get a listing of/home/
An "ls -l/home/bob/public_stuffs" will work just fine, however, with the permissions set properly.
AC, that post is completely offtopic. The question asked was how to defend legitimate uses of BitTorrent. The above post just says that rampant, illegal abuse of his old high school network prompted him to impose a strict proxy over the school owned computers and networks.
The university restricting him from using BitTorrent, solely on the grounds that they falsely believe it to be illegal, is a completely different problem.
Gentoo is compiled from source on each install. I don't care enough about how they get the gcc toolchain running to find out, but their installation howto says that it supports some little endian and some big endian systems (see the Cobalt section).
One must wonder why they're not treated as seperate ports, as doing that would seem to necessitate a pre-existing Linux install or some other breed of LiveCD, but both big endian and little endian systems can plainly be made to work in Gentoo.
From the article:
I decided to have an 8GB partition which I would format as FAT32. This allows me to easily and reliably share files between OSX and Linux, both of which have good FAT32 support but, at the time of writing, poor or incomplete support for each other's native filesystems.
I've just bought a Mac, and have been dual-booting between Debian and Panther. Unlike the author, however, I've just been using a large HFS+ partition to move things about. I was under the impression that recent Linux kernels incorporated the supposedly safe HFS+ driver from here: ArdisTech
Was I mistaken? Are there still valid reasons to not to let Linux write to an HFS+ partition?
Should this spread from China to the increasingly energy-hungry South Asian and African nations, will it have to be as heavily controlled as conventional reactors? Is it possible to use a pebble bed reactor to create weapons grade uranium or plutonium?
Where do you live, cause I'll pack up and move tomorrow, if I can afford an appt there. Are there internships and jobs in town for just-graduated-CS/Econ-flackies?
People aren't dicks. They're lazy, selfish bastards, but people aren't dicks. They'll grab the version with commercials and then skip them if that's all it takes to get the producers the money to keep the show on the air.
Plus, the Paramount people don't have to make you pay to use their bt tracker. They can just distribute whole, with internationally oriented ad content. They'd be able to reach markets they don't currently, due to the abscence of UPN affiliates in many US cities (there's me), the absence of Enterprise licensees and timely broadcasts in many nations (me last spring in Sweden), people with satellite+dsl (me again! how'd that happen?) and no local channels, etc, etc.
Can't that just as easily be said of the Newton and the old mice? I don't see how that's grounds to disagree with calling it a failure, assuming they meant in sales and longevity.
>I'm sure his head will be spinning when he sees man pages that document things instead of saying "read the info page".
Aside from the gnuutils (GNU implementations of ls, mv, etc) and bash, is there any major package that says that? And isn't the latter of the two pretty common BSD systems?
>Hell, he might even pass out when he finds out he can read man pages about configuration files.

Perhaps more importantly, using a ~$100 TV-in card on a laptop might allow the guy to use s-video or composite output jacks on the headless boxes. As common as they are nowadays, it's certainly worth considering.
That would be the cheapest option, by far, if he's already got TV-out.
In his books, Michael Flynn had a private space company building a light reusable launch vehicle that salvages a pre-destruction MIR. To expand the space station, they paid NASA to up the amount of fuel in the shuttle fuel tanks, giving the shuttle enough fuel to get even the tanks into orbit. The tanks were then pulled out by the private company's vehicles and attached to the MIR.
Is there any scientific basis for his suggestion, or is it impossible? Can the shuttle tanks be brought into orbit?
About half of my family's in Moscow at the moment, so I'd like to see a straight answer from somebody.
Is there a cheap alternative to calling cards? How well does it work to sign up for US VOIP service and plug the system in in Moscow? What kind of connection do they require?
Not that it matters all that much, but the point I was trying to make was that it might be better to do field trips than work with schools on site, at least initially. That'd give the guy a chance to build relationships with teachers, to get a feel for showing off cool toys to kids, etc, and get everyone on his own turf. It has the side benefit of not having to deal with the "do I do this at the school X, or school Y" problem, too, if there's multiple teachers interested and limited staff.
Damned cool idea to embrace private schools and homeschoolers, although the latter might be a bit of a pain to hunt down (compared to finding the Schools section in the yellow pages).
However, this guy is from the state gov't, and, assuming they're using any resources from their employer, it'd be a big mistake to be exclusive about it. I'd say contact both sorts of schools and have them bus kids to your place for a quick 5 minute tour (preferably over lunch/when they won't get in the way), and then tuck 'em into a conference room and make your presentation there.
It'd almost always be best to start out by roping in the gifted depts, AP classes, etc, just to limit the size of your audience. That'll give the presenters a chance to hone their message to the point where the average/uninterested students might stay awake through it.
Tradition, man. Tradition! When you wants to carry around the symbol of the flag and all the weight it carries here, you really ought to be familiar with the traditions around it.
The tradition of keeping flags properly maintained has been hammered into most of us since childhood for well over a hundred years. Such abuse of the flag was actually made illegal (although not criminalized) in 1923 (a year before Flag Day was created). The guy in the truck is all but certainly in the wrong.
Have you ever seen what happens to a flag after being hung out of a moving vehicle for a couple of weeks or months? If not, come to post-9/11 America and sit by the highway for an hour. You'll see that they start tearing apart at the fringe, the sewn-together bars start sepearating, etc. The colors become faided, and eventually you're left with nothing but three or four non-descript pieces of cloth and a stick.
For those of us who were brought up to respect that image, it is rather disconcerting to see the flag abused. It's quite common for groups like the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and the Boy Scouts to actually give away new flags in exchange for worn out one's. Just think. If people are actually willing to pour money into getting other people new flags, there's gotta be more to it than just one or two pissed off/.ers.
