bawahahaha, 20GB/month? please tell me this is a high school or something? The guy down the hall from me topped a TB of inet traffic on his server in Feburary, the short month! and that's just one guy. consider yourself lucky if they only filled 1/2 a gig in 4 weeks, I usually do that in an hour using temp space on the school's machines....
You don't open everything and the try and block specific ports..... do it the other way around. Block everything, and then open up just the ports that are needed. you'll have 5 or 6, 10 max. That way when someone complains about something not working, they'll have to come and explain to you exactly what they need a specific port for and how it's work related. 99% chance that past the first few weeks you won't get ANY legitament requests for more ports to be opened.
your analogy is flawed. early car drivers had to be their own mechanics, just like early computer users had to be there own admin. The regular user (driver) shouldn't have to know about the computer (car), that's the admin (mechanic)'s job. If your going to claim to be an admin, take a few minutes every time and tighten your security, read security focus, etc. Technology HAS eveloved past the do it yourself stage, that's why there are people getting paid $60,000+ a year to admin the average users computer, just like the mechanic gets paid an assload of money to fix your car.
Not really more skill per-se, just a fatter pipe, a monster build box, and several days that you can deal w/o your computer. I renamed my -current mirror -8.1, rsync'd, and installed in under an hour after the release. I'm still waiting for my gentoo box to finish download/building 1.2
Simple, because Apple has it's great line of hardware, and can co-exsist easily with open-source software, while (except for mice and keyboards) MS is strictly a software company. They make money by selling software, not giving it away.
On that note, apple sells the big chunks of it's software for $$$, these little widgets like a JavaScript engine do make a good showing to the OS comunity though.
requires a unique key, yes, as does halflife, q3, etc, but they don't require the servers be centralized. they just ask the key server real quick if it's valid, get a yes or no, and move on.
naah, all the CS students have coverted their libraries of music to ogg/vorbis, so they'll only have CS students left in the school. Because we all know as long as it's not in mp3 format it's okay......:-)
I believe you may have mis-interpreted his question. It appears the CVS server itself is on a Unix-type system, but he is having problems checking out with his cvs client (most likely wincvs).
"Maybe now some young Computer Science student can spend more time on developing a good overall program, instead of spending a bunch of time writing simple things like their own sorting routine."
They entire point of those classes is so you know how to write your own sorting algorithm in case you ever had to, and understand how they work! he submittor obviously never took a cs course in they're life. That, or they education at a crackpot school like Mizzou, and ended up changing to a business major cause they got a.5 GPA in anything that required real thought.
Will someone please clue me in as to wtf Microsoft Bob is?

StarOffice 6.0

· Score: 2, Interesting
People don't "think" they need MS Office, it's what comes bundled with their machine along with windoze, so that's what they use and stick with it along the upgrade path. The last machine my parents bought (a 500Mhz el-cheapo e-machine) a few years ago came with star office 5.2. They now uses it exclusively and haven't had any problems. Guess what? now my dad wants to buy star office 6 because, yes, it's an upgrade to what he's got. The real solution is to get more OEM's to bundle something other that MS Office with their machines.
I've got the above that I nabbed off ebay for $200. I got it because I wanted color, but if you insist on monochrome, you can pick those up for even less. The wireless adapter is like $50 and it works great with my school's wireless network.
I used to get sick all the time when I was younger, missing almost a day of school a week. It was like I caught everything under the sun, and had to go to the hospital twice. Then in third grade I stopped getting sick. I haven't missed a single day of school since (I'm now a Junior in College). I've always attributed it to getting EVERYTHING young:-)

dude, I've done that for a couple of years. it's call the superbowl. forget football, it's all about the comercials.
Just to be on topic, I think it's actually airing during the show, not in the comercials, so don't skip to the comercials.

rpm2tgz, then you can cd / ; tar -zxvf packagename.tgz. or if you want to install it rpm wise, use the force and nodeps options of rpm.
that page, and several other pages, are out of date. I've emailed pat a couple of times about it, but I guess he was to busy getting 8.1 out the door.

I'm sorry, what I meant by that was they're CS program is a total joke compared to some other school in the UM system.
