  1. Re:Great review on Firewalls and Internet Security, Second Edition · · Score: 3, Insightful

    what i've found in the past is very similar to tevenson: techincal depth is lacking...all of the "concept" in the world won't help you build your own firewall...however, sample script files usually do...

    if only the books would include samples, if nothing else, of an iptables based firewall, or even ipchains....some go indepth to talk about what the rules mean, but leave the rest for the reader to decipher -- and by this, i mean why the types of rules are being implemented, and why...

    hopefully this rejuvenated title will help in this regard.

  7. the humour here is... on Government Information Awareness · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the humour is this: in the US, or any "democratic" state these days, the people ARE the government. An elected official should *in theory* be there for the people who elected him/her. So, because the official represents the people, the people, again *in theory* should make sure the official has full reports of his/her doing. Ie - no hidden secrets....

    why then, are there secrets in Government?

    i think it has something to do with money, business, and money....(and maybe money)
    what do the US citizens feel about this, seeing as how they are the pentultimate of Democracy?

  8. Re:Why 9 months? on Linus Says Pre-2.6 is Coming · · Score: 3, Funny

    You might think that this was due to the birth of Linus' daughter Patricia. However, Linus actually spent those nine months cutting and pasting our code into the Linux kernel (there's so much of it, which is why it took him so long). Also, I am Patricia's real father.

    after reading the article, posting, then re-reading the article, i still ask the same question: don't we already have these? I mean, its only 11km an hour, and hell, if its 3km/hour in the airport, is it worth it for the speed jump?

    The world isn't exactly in a boom economy right now.

    don't you mean - " The US isn't exactly in a boom economy right now."

    I am not a macro economist, but from my count, it is apparent that the only ones falling on hard times are the Iraqis, and the Americans....(okay, I may have left a few others off the list, purely for focus)

    Up here in Canada, we have had steady growth and progress, even as a slight decline is 'predicted'in the near future. This goes without saying that many other nations are also in the same 'up and up'. (I believe China is one of them)

    just my silly cents.

  19. Re:possible answers? on ATI's Radeon Linux drivers no longer supported? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    the humour here is that every post above this level has a story about crappy ATI drivers/products...my story is no different, except that I had problems with an Xpert@play card about 5 or 6 years ago -- and they did the same thing to me then. I have yet to buy another card from ATI, and probably never will. It appears, from your posts, that some things never change.

    Good Luck to those who need it.

    To the rest, I say - go buy Nvidia, and save yourself the hassle.

  20. Re:So let me get this straight on Microsoft Pulls Plug for Support on NT4 · · Score: 1

    it is very clear from your comments that you are what you seem to hate: "a windows bigot".

    It is a clear cut case with a Windows product - how can someone even consider using a Windows product in a large production environment? Chances are, your outfit is a small place, and if I knew 'where to click', I'd be able to administer a Windows network. There is nothing to "know" with Windows, except "how to use a Wizard" to help me configure something.

    It would be best to understand technology that happens on an OS to effectively troubleshoot and fix, and foremost, to keep 5 nines. Aswell, if I mentioned 5 nines, I'd probably know what 5 nines meant, but thanks for the lesson anyway.

    On top of this, Uptime IS synonymous with availability -- that means if it is UP - it is available. I run an on-line E-tailor's site, which, in order to make money, has to work 24/7, or, 5 nines. Taking down apache IS NOT an option. Rebooting because I installed 70 new security patches for my crappy IIS module, is not an option.

    So, if I call Windows, Windoze, or Winblows, you can see why. I would never want to work for someone that insisted that Windows was the answer to all the questions. And infact, I have yet to see any reason why I would use Windows for anything, except for Active Directory, and even then, don't find much use for it (Novell's NDS is much easier, and much more effective)

    Everything else can be accomplished with Secure apps on a linux, BSD, Apple or *nix box.

    i'd say that i'm very open minded. I see what is good, and I use it...

    Windows is great for the masses, ON THE DESKTOP.

    well, chances are the server is running Exchange 5.5, which means it is time for an upgrade anyway. THis means the company would be spending the money, so why not look to a solution, especially one that supports LDAP, so as to offer a simple migration of users...and seeing how Novell AND Domino both run on Linux, you can couple it with your brand new Samba Server!!

    No money spent, except for what you would have spent anyway...
