True. I bet that because this was XP Pro, the option was available with no stateful packet awareness. There was an advanced option to allow thee link to forward internal wired LAN) requests for specific services (http, https, ftp, etc). I bet this option is handeled differently on Win2K Server or another Win server OS.
There was no control list to configure what could be not be forwarded and from what internal hosts it was allowed..... so that is the simple vs complete conundrum.
I have to say, I was blown away by Windows XP last night. This is not a troll, obviously, just check my posting history to see.
Here is my situation...
I have my PC away from the switches in the living room for some UT2K4 LAN action with my roommate. His lets me use his USB wireless connection. He brings out his system, (an Nforce Athlon64 system but running the 32bit WinXP) and we plug a Cat5e between our eth ports for the LAN action.
Then I wonder how hard it woudl be to enable a connectio nsharing of my wireless connection for him. I remember trying this back in the WinMe days with two ethernet cards and it was nearly impossible.
This time I just double clicked the connection, choose tcp/ip and on the advanced tab I noticed there was an "Allow other users to connect through this connection" check box. I select it (it wants to change my ethernet card's IP to a hardcoded value, but that is OK). Then it works.
My roommate changes his LAN IP to match the subnet, and suddenly he can get through to the net.
Tell me it is that easy in Linux and I will be impressed. My roommate is a linux admin/system contractor to local business so he could do it, but not in the 30 seconds it took us.
When linux can do that, with such ease and speed, then you know it has arrived at the usability level of the users.
Jesus was a Jew. The 12 apostles were Jews. The disciples were Jews. The Roman empire viewd Christianity as a sect of Jeudism (because it was not a polytheistic religion like theirs) and hence an allowed religion for quite a while. How can Christianity be labeled under the catch-all phrase of "anti-semetic"?
To say that you believe someon will burn for even (if that is the definition of hell to be used here) does not mean that one wishes for that to happen.
Believing that someone will get a ticket if they speed past a trafic cop does not mean that you want someone to do that and then suffer the consequence.
Taking pleasure in announcing that you believe a specific result will happen to someone would be the problem.
I happen to believe that "Hell" should be described as the absence of God or God's influence, instead of a physical place of high temperature where you cannot die but instead are always consumed by fire and feel the pain of torture.
Hell, again... to me, is a place where there in no good; nothing worthwile; nothing of value; no help; no recourse; no comfort.
Did anybody mention the 500/503 errors lately? Well just in case it has been a while.... um there were these 501/503 errors the other day and they... um... were there and then gone.
I was wondering about the same thing. It doesn't look like either robot has enough of it there to contain the necessary gyros and brains for a self balancing robot.
Ok... In the 30 minutes since I first tried that search on the new MS search, and now, it is suddenly returning results...
Does the MS Search have on demand crawling? If a search tearm is not indexed, does it go out and find that term, then include the results in the search DB?
I don't want to be a slashbot using group think here... but I had to try the following... Search on "Microsoft sucks" for each search page. Here are the results.
For the slightly educated users that have up to date systems but don't want an administration installing spyware (or whatever they want to call it...
I used this in a res-net environment. Buy a SOHO router NAT box and plug in to that.
You get to plug in as many machines as you want, you get a firewall, and virus attack protection.
If you want to swap files vie local LAN, or play IPX LAN games, just set your system to the DMZ or expose it's ports while you play. Close it up when you are done.
But then again... this is for the slightly smarter than the average user subset.
Hey... I'm not bashing. I have had my RedHat system fsk up much more frequently (probably after I try some change and don't know how to reverse out my config changes). That is why I legally bought and use WinXP Pro.
Still doesn't explain why my XP NTFS partition disappeared. Who knows, I could have a virus/trojan. I am behind a rock solid firewall and have no freeware/GAIN apps installed and keep my OS patched on a weekly basis, but that doesn't mean I am safe from virii.
No kidding. I wonke up one morning, turned on my system and found my one an only partition for my storage drive (non-raid) totally gone. WinXp Pro just decided to wipe it clean. I surfed around a while and find a nice Russian (or some other foreign site) that served up a juicy hacked exe for a harddrive recovery app. It did the trick and recovered my data by rebuilding the partition table based on the data (or something like that).
I was even thinking of buying the app until I surfed to the company's site and found it was >$2K US. Screw that. If it happens again, I may not reciver my stuff.
I didn't have anything critical on there, but it woudl have been very time consuming to re-rip my CDs again.
if both motions to dismiss had been granted, then the case would have been dismissed. Each motion was based on a specific part of the case. A part of the case is still in and the other part has been given 30 days to proove itself. That means it, the case, is still alive and kicking.
Hah! That wasn't Barbershop, it was Jazz. Anyone could tell they frequently left off the 7th with the proper chord arrangement and turned it into the Jazz 7th. Not only that but the blatent abuse of chest pounding for percussion revealed their disguise for what it truly was.
jason But it was still cool at the time. And yes, I sing barbershop. How could you tell?
I am putting my money in mortgage lenders (although my stock took a dive when the good consumer reports came out a week or two ago). This company (TMA) gives about 10% per year in dividends, which is hard to beat. They have been doing this for decades. They can do this because of their corporate layout, which is a trust, and not a normal corp. Out of EPS.70 for 1Q, they announced $.65 1Q dividend. That is a lot of money that goes back to the shareholders.
But that is just my plan. I am a long term invester and if the stock drops from $30 to $24 like it did this past month, I don't care too much because it wil go back up and because I have those Divs in a DRIP.
That very well could be true in other locations besides Idaho. However, in Idaho, the AFT is pretty much something that takes your dues and then you don't hear from them until your next dues are supposed to be paid. Except for the usual "We need your support to defeat" such-n-such legislation that oh-so-horrible republican congressmen from some-state-or-other is proposing letters.
I have three close friends that are full teachers, and another about to get certified, so I get to hear alllllll about the No Child Left Behind Act mess, and stuff like that.
What really sucks about the AFT is that if you aren't a member, then the other are pressured to back stab you when peer reviews come up, or when curriculem propositions are submitted... stuff like that. THAT is why this union ranks as useless locally. The national union has done very little for our state. If there was a state union, then the leaders would be a bit closer to the people they represent.
Manyunions today are not healthy. By that I mean they do not represent their workers. They represent their interests. Kind of like a big government tends to represent it's existance instead of the people that pay for its existance.
I look at nation unions as out of touch with the reality of their members on a local level. Why? Because situations differ so greatly because of geography and abuse of the power and money available at a national level.
This is the same way that a national government is not as attuned to the local constituents.

I suppose there are many other PA fans out there linking to the very thing this article alludes to as referenced in an old PA cartoon.

If that is the case then just keep the dick in the pants and not have sex.
I am not a proponent of allowing parents (or anyone) to get away with out the consequences of their actions. How else are people to learn?

I had heard of the silent screem before, not sure how. So I decided to visit the site and see what it is about.
I almost puked sitting right here in my cube. The buckets full of body parts was the deal breaker.
My opinion isn't changed, as I have always been on the side opposing abortions.

An interesting idea if it is...

I don't want to be a slashbot using group think here... but I had to try the following... Search on "Microsoft sucks" for each search page. Here are the results.
Google's "microsoft sucks" page
Microsoft's "Microsoft sucks" page
It looks like it takes a lot less thought to fool MS search into giving you no results than it takes for Google.
Well don't stop now... who else needs a bit of cutting down to "less than diety status"??

At my current job at HP some employees have not taken their vacation for years and have piled up the time because of several reasons...
-Manager won't let them take time off
-Afriad that if the take time off, manager will replace them
-Have no life to vacation to
As a contracter for said company, I understand this side of the equation quite well.
