im a french canadian, and if this law is true it only means i will not be buying any more games in local stores.
french version of games are usually nearly close to unplayable due to being badly translated and even when they're properly translated there is inevitably some key concepts that simply don't exist and have to be adapted.
plain and simple, it detracts from the game. nevermind the lumberjacks that refuse to speak english, i demand my games in their native language.
i took one look at the 3d captcha and i can already think of one way they will be cracked. i can't imagine it will take too much effort to bypass these
one of the hp networked printer we tried recently didnt work under linux, brand new printer too. and it's even listed as a paperweight on linuxprinting. but most are fine
ingdirect's picture+phrase actually lowers your security through information disclosure. a hacker can phish for valid accounts by just trying random numbers and recording which one has a picture
i actually moved my banking elsewhere when they installed that, and did the same with my main checking account.
their ESX software is an hypervisor that you must install directly on the hardware to start with. if you want to run linux/win under it, you need to get vmware server.
ESXi seems to be ESX without the "service console" (a linux console that runs virtually that lets you manage stuff on the esx server)
to manage it you need the VI client which you can download on their site. it's the same client for all of their software (except vmware server, because it sucks)
what would have happened if you changed your password, and being an admin, every other admin's password, then took off and hid in the carribeans?
there is no perfect solution to the trust problem. not in today's softwares anyway.
i could see having a "master key" composed of two parts of an rsa key (ive seen a system with something similar, and you're right,a bank software) which encode a master password that can ONLY be used to change the admin password, and cannot be changed by any other means. lock THAT in the safe when the system is installed and never think about it ever again
but really, who would even remember about it if you ever needed it? then you'd need a TPM module to insure it cannot be simply corrupted from the OS and all other sorts of protections...
that's expensive, and no one wants to pay for security
OP here. im 25, young by any standard, and i still find paper has its uses, especially in meetings, or when comparing large amounts of data side by side.
you just try making a large 10' DDL on your computer . not intuitive by any stretch:)
everyone seem to be making fun of these, but i could see them being really useful. a lot of stuff gets printed for short term use and are shredded right after.
say i go to a meeting, i print up a plan, diagram, couple pages of schematics for everyone at the meeting. that's a lot of wasted paper. then you do the presentation and everyone chucks it in the trash.
only the ludittes keeps the paper copies after the meeting, since you're likely to send them the documents by email anyway. it's just more useful to have a hard copy for the presentation
linux-based livecd that will reset any password on your windows partition.
if you have physical access and it's not encrypted, any data is fair game, it doesnt have anything to do with microsoft (in fact, im pretty pissed at ms for making it such a hassle to reset a password)
microsoft was more than happy to play that game, until some governments stepped in and said any documents submitted to them in the coming years has to be an open standard.
so they bought their way to one and voila. their documents still dont conform in practice, but in theory it's an open standard
you're confusing two types of bandwidth. the way bell's infrastructure work is this:
every lines terminate into a DSLAM.
then if the DSLAM is bell's they will either: forward the entire L2TP(or ppp, same thing) tunnel over a dedicated line that they forced teksavvy to install and terminate it on teksavvy's equipment, at which point teksavvy can do whatever the hell they want with the traffic or bell terminates it on their own equipment and then sells "bandwidth" to the outside internet
both of these solutions can be thottled, and you'd still get the "choose your routing" part
there is another option for resellers, which is installing their own DSLAMs in bell's colo centers. it is expensive, and ill defined. any maintenance you might have to do is expensive as hell, bell charges you the full cost for whatever changes are to be made (including plugging in a customer's line into it).
some resellers use this type of colo, but usually they are geographically limited (you need dslams all over the place to physically serve every customer's lines)
uh 30$/mbit/s/month is pretty damned cheap for a "business" connection (ones that are billed as 95th percentile, not the same-dsl-line-that-i-just-gouge-you-on-but-is-otherwise-the-same-as-residential).
the only way you'll get lower is by committing to a few hundred mbits/s/month
that makes a lot of sense. you're right in that we're trying to cater to joe average. and also on the height: we're much lower in a county with lots of trees and hills so that cuts our range. unfortunately, 2.4 is totally unusable, or barely usable in the less dense counties (300-1000 persons). we'd need something like an ap every 2km to overcome the barrage of crap
i certainly wouldn't have picked canopy since it's so expensive, but it was imposed to us by the boss (he had a friend who could get us realllllyy great deals on them! you know how that turned out of course:) and since we're spending so much money on the equipment they want to cut costs elsewhere, even using omni antennas plugged into some of the ap (so the complete opposite of you).
thanks for the offer, we've got it pretty much down now. but it was certainly a head scratcher for a while. we'll probably be getting out of that business soon anyway, someone with 100 times our budget is trying their hand on 2.4 and we're more than happy to let them
12 miles over 5.7? how the hell do you do that? we're lucky to get 4 with the reflector and even then the rssi drops to 600. we've heard of one trick to boost the signal but since it's illegal, no one wants to give it away:)

wouldn't have worked for our purpose. but that's a nice idea

did they ever fix their multithreading issues, where the performance went to shit as soon as you got more than 4 threads going at once?
THAT is what puts me off os x server, not teh pretties

even THAT can be detected. this patent is bullshit anyway, and there's prior art

look at the date... august 2001
it goes the other way too. perl does everything i need, why would i want to clutter it with java and php?
it's faster than java, and has more useful sysadmin modules than php anyway. and as long as you're not a retard, just as easy to maintain
neither is ESX, with its 2000$ pricetag for a starter license
which if you read carefully is exactly what i said.
esx and esxi are bare metal, vmware server needs an underlying os
their ESX software is an hypervisor that you must install directly on the hardware to start with. if you want to run linux/win under it, you need to get vmware server.
ESXi seems to be ESX without the "service console" (a linux console that runs virtually that lets you manage stuff on the esx server)
to manage it you need the VI client which you can download on their site. it's the same client for all of their software (except vmware server, because it sucks)
VI client is, sadly, windows only

it does lose files once in a while. or rather they become unnaccessible and can't be deleted. so far the only fixe i've found is --rebuild-tree
good thing we only use them for backups, thanks to the tail packing (any other fs with that feature?)
indeed it's a password reset, which is what i said, not a recovery. but do you trust a journalist to know the difference? i know i don't
look on google for ntpasswd

iirc, some switches provide more sorts of hashing than just src/dst mac. it's been a while, so i'd have to look it up again
yes, look up "etherchannel" or "bonding"

just leave firefox open for a week, it will happily gobble it all up
