considering MacOS X won't run on most of the older (although still very new) PowerPC machines. None of my personally owned Macs will run OS X but my dual G4/500 on my desk at work will. Since it won't run on those older machines, *nix variants such as NetBSD (which recently released a new PPC version I believe), LinuxPPC, Suse, Yellowdoglinux, Blacklab Linux (although mostly just YD), Debian, and others will never go away.
And in response to the reply by "fridgepimp", yes MacOS X is very much Unix. It may not look it on the nice pretty outside but the guts of it is. Have you actually used it? ? Than you probably shouldn't be hurling you're lack of expertise about it to the world. Maybe you should ask an actual Apple Developer about it (and no I'm not going to bother explaining it myself).
LinuxPPC also runs on a large number of RS/6000's, Amigas, Tivo, and others. You should probably check into it before you starting spouting shit about Macs and LinuxPPC.
I get Pron ads all the time! Maybe I'll just write a simple filter to delete messages that excessivly words like "hot, wet, tight, young, call me, horny". I wouldn't mind it so much if the sites they were advertising were real or if they sent a nice free pict with the e-mail.:-)
Elma School Supt. Bill Myhr, duly noting that the issue was confidential, did say that while some students took the challenge seriously, it wasn't intended that way.
It doesn't make a damn bit of difference if he didn't mean it. He said it and didn't say he was joking. Let's say that I'm a car salesman having a bad day. I'm talking to a customer about how the business is doing and I say that I'll give the next person to come in here 50% off on any car of their choice. Well let's say that the next person that comes in on the lot is that customer's wife and she says I want that car. I advertised that I would sell it for have off (even if I didn't buy a radio spot and tell the world). If I don't honor it, that's false advertising. It doesn't matter if I'm joking or not. Another exmaple: Let's say I'm sitting at a booth in a diner and I tell my buddy that I'm going to knock off President Recount. My buddy laughs cause he knows I'm joking and of course I am joking, but the person sitting in the booth behind me might not realize it. They call the cops, cops call the secret service, and bam I'm in jail. I said it. I can't prove I was joking, they can't prove I wasn't. Legal ass-raping is what it is. They teacher said it and he didn't explicitly say he was joking. You can't say he implied it. He didn't say it at all. Period. End of story.
I know of only one place that actively develops in Java. One! The god damn world DOES NOT center around Java so why the hell are we supposed to be tested on it?! This is absolute bullshit. This 'write once, re-write for every other damn OS you want it to run on' bullshit must stop! Perl! C! C++! Hell Basic and Fortran are more popular and more widely accepted that the crappy resource hog they call Java! Who the hell came up with this brilliant ass idea?!
I bought this book (and a slew of others) from FatBrain a month or so ago. Looks to be a good book. It is over my head though. I'm not a programmer, although I can program. I write things to make my daily sys/netadmin job easier. I just wrote a 300 line perl script to parse and edit the outputted HTML file from MRTG (with my contributed additions too) to get just the content that I need for a hundred or so targets. It archives that by date and saves it for later viewing. That was to make my job easier. I'll write a short shell or perl script to query all the the IP registries, traceroute, and do a name lookup on an IP as an arguement. That's to make my job easier. This is a good book, but not for someone not already familar with Perl. Get Learning Perl for that. Better yet, get the Perl CD Bookshelf. It will help you in the long run.
That won't work on my mirror. It's because of people like you that I have to enforce rate limiting and maximum unique connections. MaxClientsPerHost baby....
I created a bogus company name when I registered my first personal domain with NSI (before I knew they were shit). I have never used that BS company anywhere else. I get 2-3 of BS mail for that BS company a week! I changed it a few weeks ago to see how long it would take before I started getting shit mail with that company name too. The company name was quite literally the Rot13 of "Jenna Jameson has nice tits". "Wraan Wnzrfba unf avpr gvgf" I get BS mail all the damn time for it!
What the fsck are you talking about?! Who the hell said anything about "gay"? Put that back in your pants before you hurt yourself you fscking freak. "Moron".
Sometimes a favorable review really isn't favorable. What they really could be saying is that
they fired the schmuck above you
since you've been there longer than the other schmucks, you're the next schmuck in line for for the head schmuck job
you've been here longer than most of the other schmucks and know how easily you can be replaced with another schmuck so you're less likely to schmuck up
the head boss likes your flabby little schmuck ass and he wants you sitting closer to him so he can ponder schmucking you
I may just be feaning my yout here, but that bird is 14 years older than I am! And to think that I was actually starting to think I was getting old. Man. It's hard to believe that they (NASA) could pull of something that advanced back then. Wow.
We're not talking string and tin cans here. I have yet to see a piece of networking equipment of decent size not have a fan. Hell a little POS D-Link 4 port 10 or 100 (yes, you read that right) hub had a helluva fan in it. The box was 4"x3"x1". A cisco 675 doesn't have one. Neither does most other modems. Most, if not all, routers (in the true sense of the word) have them.
If there is an option to turn this BS "feature" off, what's the default setting?
If I create an installer for common Internet applications for the faculty/staff/students at my University, do I have to send it to M$ for approval?
"We're sorry. You didn't include IE in your installer. We've included it for you, made sure it always installs no matter what the user specifies because we know they'll always want to install it even if they didn't say so, set it's default homepage to www.microsoft.com and search page to our MSN site because they are the best and soon to be the standard, signed up the user (and everyone in their address book) for MSN because it's really where they want to go tomorrow, and removed Netscape because we don't approve of their code. Thank you."
If I update that installer each semester, do I have to send it back to M$ for approval?
What is M$ going to charge me to approve my app?
How can they actually audit my app without me sending them my actual code, part of my IP?
Can I make them sign an NDA so that my code and I are protected from M$ stealing ideas and code?
Am I forced to sign a M$ NDA that says they can do whatever they want with my code?
When do I get to see Tipper in celebration dancing naked on the coffee table in anticpation of getting nailed in the Oval Office, this time by her husband?
Like I've been telling people for years now, popsite.net is about as spam friendly as it gets! I've reported hundreds of pieces of spam to them and never once got a response. I've CCd their domain billing/admin/tech contacts and never once got a response. Heck one time I even CCd the president (president@whitehouse.gov, not com!:) ) and talked about how there should be federal laws against unsolicited commercial email and the providers that support it. Nothing. Nadda. Zilch. Go to their website and read the page. Sure they make it sound like they aren't the bad guys, be you and I both know that's a crock of spam.
Did he actually run for homecoming King? At most of the schools I know of (minus the ones in the movies) you don't actually *run* for homecomgin King or Queen. The student picks them. At my former HS, each class (freshman-senior) picked who they wanted to represent them. Then the entire student picked the king/queen of the ones the seniors choose. Did he actually run?
The subject says it all. I didn't get registered in time, not that there is anyone worth voting for anyhow. If Bush gets it though, I'll claim to not be an American citizen.
Using you mentality, I could write a shitty book and put a EULA on a book that says:
"if you write a review of my book criticizing it, you owe me $1,000,000 in cash on the day of the review's publishing. If the review complements it, you owe me $500,000 in cash on the day of the review's publishing. I reserve the write to review my own books."
I'll use your mentality again in an example that might hit a little closer to home for you. If Natalie Portman put an EULA on her personally autographed glossies that said:
'each time you use this photo while choking you chicken, spanking your monkey, wanking your dog, or playing with Pedro you owe me $1,000,000 before you pass out.'
That mentality of your's doesn't fly very far now does it.
"We are confident that the integrity of Microsoft source coderemains secure."
The funniest phrase in the whole WSJ article is the one above. "integrity" and "Microsoft source code" is something I never thought I'd see in the same sentence, unless of course there was a huge NOT stuck in the middle! Way to go Hemos!
Hey.. I run a consulting business. Does that mean that if someone wants to be my client, but then badmouths me, I have to continue providing him service? I think not.
And you would be wrong. @home entered into a contract with that guy. They are legally bound to fulfill their end of the deal, just as he would be bound to pay them for the service if said service was provided. If there was any mention of not being allowed to voice your opinion in the @home contract, we would have heard about it by now. The clauses about 'if we catch you hacking..." blah blah blah "...we'll terminate your account.." are similar to what they'd have to have in this case. But they don't have said clause so @home just dropped their drawers and bent themselves over a barrel. If you go into business with an attitude like that (thinking you're God and the little people (read clients) beneath you must have your services to survive), than you're running a pretty shitty business. Happy Chapter 13!
If you know the steps to exploit XYZ, that isn't the same as if you've actually used that knowledge to circumvent someone's security measures. Knowing != Doing. It never has and never will be (at least I pray it won't) If someone breaks into my machine, than yes I want them to be flogged with mice and thrown in a Mexican jail. If all I know is that Bind version ABC is vulnerable to an attack, I'm not guilty! I haven't done anything wrong! If I find a problem with ABC and I publish that problem because I know others use it and should fix their copy, than I'm not doing anything wrong again! (BugTraq) I'm sharing information with a remote colleague in a like field. If these cases were true than the "Anarcist's Handbook" should be very illegal. I can think of numerous adventure novels that tell you most of the steps involved in making a bomb. Hell movies practically show you--(No I'm not going off on a "violent movies should be banned" thing. That's BS too!). Where the hell do these people come up with these stupid ideas?
Actually IPv6, labs, and firewalls is a perfect place to use this. We are going to VLAN and firewall all of the dorms soon. I just got out of a meeting that talked about wireless, mentioning the labs and carts of laptops for use in a class. This controlled environment (where we won't be assigning public IP anyhow) would be the perfect place to start working with IPv6! It really can't hurt our network. The only thing I wonder about is NAT. Can a IPv6 network be NATed on a firewall which then routes IPv4 onto our public network? Hmmm...
I keep IPTraf running on my firewall at home. It's in the TCP/UDP port watching mode, whatever it's called. I love coming home and finding screens of port #'s listed as ports that have seen activity. We aren't talking 1-2 packets from a simple TCP connect port scan. I'm talking a couple hundred packets over a meer weekend. Let me see, how many port scans is that... ADSL and Cable modems are the greatest thing since the invention of pron (and you can download a lot of it real fast too!) but it's the worst possible thing for security since the first release of Irix.
