FFS, you're talking about the same network that brought us "Married With Children", a whole lot of steamy "they're teens, sort of" shows, the worst of the reality shows, and *how* many seasons of "The Simpsons".......and you honestly think they're motivated by "Social Message?"
Yep, it's so true. The best OS will clearly win, with no effort on the part of the community or developers to make that happen, simply because the buying public will recognize the 'best product' and force its acceptance by writers of drivers, apps (particularly games) and useful third-party software.
After all, that's why we're all running OS/2 these days, right?
Omnipotence doesn't affect anything. God loves rapidly moving humans less, because they die more often
No no no, He loves them MORE, because He is more likely to "bring them home" !

Bzzt, wrong. The "preferences" in question were questions such as: (paraphrased from market-speak)
--May we give out your phone number to telemarketers?
--May we give out your street address to bulk mailers?
--May we give out your email address to 3rd parties for spamming?
AS WELL AS the options for "you've been outbid," "your auction has ended," etc. ALL of these preferences--both desirable and not--had been set to 'yes'
So the person who sent this in [me] read exactly what the preferences sent them, and reacted accordingly.
(and no, I haven't gotten "spam" from them before either, as I had already set these preferences before. Saying that "an error has occurred" to change them is FUD, pure and simple.)

Paperless voting (except that dot-matrix printer) done by digital equipment would be a good idea--if expensive. How many counties would decide they "didnt need" to upgrade?
Voting from home is also a non-starter. Let's say I'm a fringe-candidate supporter. 7:01 AM we all cast our votes. 7:02 AM the DDoS attack starts. At 8 PM, the announced loser claims to have evidence that those evil hackers have rooted the webserver. [and probably at least *one* of those sore losers would be right] And so on...
The best security--and what would be called for--is no wires at all. Save the results to multiple media, certainly, then hand-carry (single box needed, not a bazillion anymore) that media to the county HQ. [Alternately a dedicated line could be used for transmission, but.not. the 'net]
Standard legalese verbage, I'd say. Yes it does mention the possibility of AMD never haveing "a commerically available multiprocessing solution" but I'd hardly call that part of the fine print something to worry about.
Thank Ghu! I'm using a linux 2.2.5 box (debian) to route my cablemodem as well, and would *like* to play a game or two on the internet. (Yes, compiled with proper options. Nutscrape, Quake, and Roger-Wilco all work fine, ICQ *mostly* works)
Checking documentation for the apps in question, I get these answers : 'open port 47624' and 'open ports 2000-2020'
OK. Hmm, neat. The HOWTOs are all about 2.0.x, ipchains documentation seems kinda minimal. I *have* located the ipmasqadm utility and installed it. Trying to *use* it however...
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 47624 -R 192.168.0.3 47624
...which seems to be the apropo cmdline (off of the top of my head anyway, it's been a few days) throws an error message and dies.
Who has gotten this to work, or is there something better than ipmasqadm?

Tell that to my open positions and total lack of applicants. The local talent pool is drained of anybody *worth* hiring in the first place.

FOXNews != Fox.

A clear case of "it's not a bug, it's a *feature*" if I've ever heard one.
"Waste the Wife" -- its one of the Assassination/payphone missions. She doesn't get out of her car, though, so maybe it doesn't really count.
No no no. Block-IP is a subset of Palladium.

Isn't it a true story that Churchill had to decide whether to protect Coventry from a heavy bombing raid, or keep it secret that we had broken ENIGMA?
(According to the story, he chose to keep the secret...and wept when visiting Coventry after the raid)

I'd be surprised if a lawsuit *didn't* come out of this, if prior art can be demonstrated/the patent actually .is. invalid. Can you say "RAMBUS" ?

Promotional space (ends of aisles, front door displays) is usually .sold. to the distributors, not just apportioned by the whim of the store.
.much. more readily than comp-screw-us-eh getting a clue.
In other words, Corel likely paid for the better placement--something I would believe

This either gets (1) ignored because there's nothing truly useful about them or (2) swamped because they're too useful.
Or (3) barraged with porn. Replace the stickers on the phone booths with multimedia "call-in" ads for personal services instead? The mind boggles.

portfw: setsockopt failed: Invalid argument
Why do I suspect this has not so much to do with the command line as a misconfiguration elsewhere?
