    No this is a bunch of entrepreneurs working with federal regulators. Regulations are there for your safety, or would you prefer we let anyone shot stuff upto orbit with the high chance of blowing up around us.

  6. What about of the shelf AP's? on Community Mesh Networking OSS · · Score: 1

    Almost everyone I know has moved from having a dedicated box to an off-the-shelf AP these days.. so what about them?

    The way it works here with me as an example is I allow anyone access in my building if they ask, and make my presence known by setting my essid to "Flat 2, ask if you wish to use". Works..

    Maybe in your particular distros packaging of it.

    I really do NOT want to get into an argument with you, but seriously read up on what a loopback is, it applies to OS's across the board that "network". It's a standard, no shit.

    more complicated because you need to know about these sort of issues

    I've always believed in learning.. nuff said.

    No configuration of your firewall? No port configuration? Granting *all* privledges to the web user?!

    Well no, localhost mysql has nothing more than the loopback to contend with, and if you stick chains on that then your just nuts, really though that would BE funny.

    All pivileges was just a fricking example.

    Eh? No. "connecting" in SQLite is managed by passing it a filename. It's orders of magnitudes simpler than installing, configuring, and connecting to a client/server RDBMs.

    Maybe I've grown resilient to the ease of my own intellect in my young age.

    Seriously though..

    $ pacman -S mysql
    $ /etc/rc.d/mysql start
    $ mysqladmin -u root password 'newpassword'
    $ mysql -u root -p
    >create database somedb;
    >grant all privileges on somedb to somedewd@somehost identified by 'somepassword';

  14. Re:SQLlite on Build a Database Driven Site -- Quick · · Score: 2, Insightful

    SQLite needs to connect to a db in the fs anyway, in much the same way as mysql, pgsql, mssql etc etc client needs a socket connection. Don't get me wrong SQLite owns your socks, but it's no easier to use than *the real* dbms's.

  15. Sub Contracting on So You Want To Be A Consultant · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've always found it much easier to take on sub contract work, this way you never have to worry about facing the non-techy clients and what needs doing is very clear. Granted you don't make as much but if you have a full time job already it is an easyish extra income.

    But aside from the joking, being a brit and having used BT for ADSL; yes I would say they are moronic enough to have done something as stupid as this.

    There is a danger of a large company stealing a small companies software idea though...

    Yesterday I presented my current work of 2years as normal to yet another crowd, however our main competitor was presenting before us and decided to stay.. while I was presenting I noticed him scribbling away like mad... they are a pretty big company.. I'm me and and one other person, and I bet when there next release comes out it will have "borrowed" ideas from mine.

    Not a thing I could do though. It's just a classic case of big guy about to shit on the little guy. Hell maybe there find something I've done infringes on there work and sue me.
