So, you can connect to the sshd on my 10.0.0.31 box that is behind a public IP attached to a NAT'ing device? (No you can't any neither can anyone else without compromising the device performing the NAT'ing.) It causes packets that don't have a port redirection rule, to a private IP/port tuple, on the public interface to be dropped. It's a very crude version of a "deny all" rule that uses rewrite/redirection where a firewall would use "allow in" rules.

I deny any knowledge of Windows at any job interview. They ask what I run at home and I come back with a snappy "Mac" answer. I even quit a job that insisted that I would need to get an MCSE to climb the promotion ladder. It has worked for me. They don't need to know that I could run rings around the Windows admins if it were necessary. Nor would I ever have even the slightest desire to need to do such a thing.
Over 12 years in the industry, making well over 6 figures for a good part of that and never had to get my hands dirty with anything Microsoft related. It can be done...
Yes, those are unlimited Apple protocol client licenses. You do not need a multi-user license if you're only providing sendmail, httpd, etc. services. You didn't read the fine print carefully.
That price also includes hardware and software technical support. That is something most people buying server systems expect from their vendor. You're not gunna get any support from RedHat unless you pay them a decent chunk of change either.
Not to mention cost was not one of your initial criteria...
I've been a Unix admin for well over a decade. I've done BSDi, SunOS, Solaris, AIX, SCO, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, SlackWare, RedHat and SuSe. I prefer OSX, Solaris and OpenBSD in that order. It's just an opinion based on experience. I try to tell people they don't know what they're missing when they wave off OSX without even trying it. (My PowerBook is my travelling buddy.)
Mac OS X wouldn't be a great option for me, just like Windows isn't. I'm a server guy. Give me a solid OS with Apache, MySQL, and Postfix in a 1U cabinet and I'm happy.
Ah, so you want MacOSX Server and an Xserve G5 kit/box/server/thingy! It has all the stuff you describe and more in one nicely wrapped package.
Everyone knows that expressing greater surface area is more important than size for heat dissipation. Simply making the fins thinner and folding them into crinkles should significantly improve performance of the heatsink. There is no need to make them this big.
I'm thinking a metalic design like currogated cardboard with air blown through the "tubes" between the layers should work very well. This would fit in well with a pass through fan design pushing air from the front of the case to the back right through the tubes. Just align the heatsink properly and go. No more need for seperate, big CPU fans mounted right onto the heatsink. -Rusty
Many schools call that a BSIT (BS in Information Technology). It tends to blend a bit of management/business administration with lots of hands on technology overviews. They cover networking, telecom, databases, programming and operating systems among other topics.
A BSIT is very useful for going into coroporate technology positions that are not R&D related. Office automation support for example... -Rusty
An FTP server is not a website. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're just a newb and not an an AC troll...
So, you're saying if I told one 1337 kiddie to go get some warez at ftp.fbi.gov I'd be promoting a DOS attack? Because that is all I did, just using a name that is a DNS alias to that server. I somehow don't think the FBI would put a server on a public network with an accessible FTP daemon that could not handle an occassional connection from a moron or 2.
I used to give out an address that led to some servers at the FBI. I admin'ed several hundred domain names at the time and made various entries under different domains all pointed at such well watched US government servers.
I rarely saw the results of what happened when men in dark suits came knocking at their door, but my imagination was satisfaction enough.
See, the PalmIIxe (and most older Palm devices) are set to do their synch through either the serial port or via infrared. I simply set the synchronization port to be the infrared port on my Powerbook and it just works.
It sounds like your phone not synching over infrared is the issue. I'm sure if it were capable you could perform that action with iSync. -R
Not everyone. My former bank and my current bank both do not have fees for debit transactions at retail terminals. They do if you use a foreign cash machine, but not for direct retail purchases.
Unless the exchange is actually providing a trading front end client they are not infringing. The patent(s) are on electronic trading applications, their features and functionality. Most exchanges simply supply a connectivity API and don't care what is on the customer's screen as long as their connection is API compliant and the data sent is valid.
I'm (educated) guessing TT will get the one finger salute from any exchange that doesn't provide a customer front end application.
I just use a Dazzle Hollywood DV bridge. I appears to my machine as a DV camcorder. It takes a video input signal and converts it to raw DV. I can do with the result what I wish. I generally use it for recording stuff from my DirecTiVo and burning DVDs from the DV. $DEITY bless iMovie, iDVD and my PowerBook.
I bought it originally to keep using my 8mm video camera instead of buying an $800 (at the time) DV camcorder. I've found tons of other uses for the thing now.
I know it doesn't serve to fluff the author's ego or provide as much legitimacy, but if you MUST say something controversial then BLOG it anonymously.
My primary BLOG has no personally identifiable information in it. I can say what I want as long as it's not slanderous or libelous. Of course, I do it as an outlet for personal expression and not to gain or keep readership. I mostly write reviews of restaurants I eat at...
The sad thing is during th Notes 4.x days there were X11 clients for Notes. Several of us used the Solaris client when I was a contractor and one IBM employee on our team, a Tivoli admin, had an RS6K laptop running AIX with the AIX X11 Notes client.
They dropped support for X11 claiming the web client was just fine for non-Win32 systems. Look where that ended up, eh?
I have a 667Mhz Onyx TiBook and synch my PalmIIIxe via IRDA because I didn't want to spend the money on an OSX compatible USB-> serial adapter. Works great for me.
I block all of: 200. 203. 210. - 222. 61. I have partial blocks in 202. because some of those IPs are in Australia and New Zealand and not spammy.
It has worked well for me. Anyone in those blocks who actually knows anyone who uses mailservers I run has our Gmail addresses if they want to send anything.
When features are the same or similar from vendor to vendor their support organiztion can be a deciding factor. When reviewing big iron break something on purpose and make a call to the support line. The review should definitely include the response from that process.
Testing the support system simulates the "your neck is on the line" environment without much infrastructure cost expenditure. It is definitely very valuable information for those trying to narrow down the field. I know I wouldn't consider buying even the best whirly-gig in the world if I can't get it fixed quickly when it's b0rken.
I thought I covered the differences and wasn't trying to state equivalency. But, as no such animal really existed back then and EMC JBOD was about as close as it gets, I figured showing the dramatic shift was a good point.
Nope, the company was called Telenisus. They were a "Managed Services Provider" trying to push HA with good security. They overcommitted heavily on hardware, bandwidth and cage space without any customers to use it. The few who bought in were easily paying 9 grand a month or more for what can be had for about $900 a month elsewhere without the multi-layer firewall, SAN storage and IDS stuff they had. The market space was WAY smaller than they thought it was.
Verisign bought their managed firewall and managed RSA token business. The rest got sold super cheap as recovered hardware or to a lower costing hosting provider.
They were run into the ground by a former Ameritech Advanced Data Services exec. Big suprise, eh?
Now, granted we did this with EMC storage which has caching SCSI controllers and ports for fibre attachment, but...
About 4 years ago my former* employer bought about 1.5 terabytes in an EMC cabinet for about $3,600,000.00. It was a cabinet of 18Gig 10K rpm drives. Yes, they paid a steep markup, but it's still insane compared to the equivalent quality gear available at over a 100 fold decrease in price. Going cheap, like the device in the article or a LaCie bigdisk, would be about a 1,000 fold decrease.
* They blew through $80 million in VC money in under 3 years. About 10% of that went to EMC for gear that never saw a bit of data stored on it or routed through it. I'll never work for another startup again...
