This is an example of where you bite the bullet, pay for the lawyer, and proceed to file a counter suit for personal damages, ie, the cost fo hiring a lawyer to defend yourself from a baseless lawsuit. You get your money back, and then some.
But most people will just back down, Am Greets is counting on it. Hope the PA guys get some backbone.
I would care about the server getting slashdotted, but since its microsoft's bandwidth, and this is slashdot, I feel compelled to be a dick and not volunteer a mirror.
except the is space is considered classless now, class a,b,c, and the rest of those weird ones are now considered obsolete terms. because other netmasks exist other than/8,/16, and/24.

Might I also mention this movie has Ron Jeremy, of all people in it? he plays a perverse Italian mob underboss. One of the coolest movies I have ever seen.
Saw HP at a trade show a few months back, IBM was also present. They both were doing blade servers, and let me tell you, HP's look like crap compared to what IBM offers for a similar price. IBM's will share the console fully digitally, whereas HP's comes with a piece of hardware that has to be snapped into place on the front of the blade, and moved around to share the console. And its too big to just buy a ton of them and put one on each blade, so you can't even go buy a phat kvm to save your sanity.
Did I mention that IBM brought a full rack of working blades with redhat, windows 2k, openbsd, freebsd, suse, and a few other linux distros, and showed off the awesome power? HP brought two broken blade servers and pointed at the Xeon's inside and said, "Intel! Intel!"
Not saying its bad to see Red Hat get exposure, but HP doesn't rate high in my book, and I know a lot of other people who feel the same way. This might give Red Hat a bad name.
If my HP sales rep is reading, this is why everytime you send me a new offer, I go right to my customers and say, "IBM! Pro Micro!"
Yeah, except that you have to spend a lot of time slowing back down again. Not as big an issue wioth a probe, you can rivet all the stuff down, it doesn't need to maintain an atmosphere, and it has no soft fleshy inhabitents that tend to die if you make them go from 500,000 to 0 in 2 seconds flat.
So basically, ya spend years accelerating, run at some ridiculous, or maybe even ludicrous speed for a while, and yes, to land on something, Colonel Sanders was write, "we've got to slow down first."
Anything that looks like an iMac can go to hell in my book. I appreciate the tip, but I loathe apple's consumer level desktops, they all look so friggin dumb. besides, I have a kvm, I want something that'll play nice with it, not insist on taking up extra real estate space on my desk with its built in crt.
Their desktops are probably loosing tons of market, but they still make the best laptops on the planet.
Only place I know that sells their laptops for cheaper than their desktops. Can you even buy a desktop that isn't an uber overpowered maniac machine? I can't afford the price tag, don't want a laptop.
No, not at all, any OS is gonna get owned if you don't patch it. trust a strock Linux/Win2k/FreebSd install? NEVER!
A lot fo people go with what they know, making it a more secure choice for them, than going with uber secure OpenBSD, and being forced to run it unpatched cause you either don't know how to fix holes, or don't think it needs it.
Its not really so much more dofficult per se, as it is harder to learn, and a less common skill ammoung sysadmins.
2. I'll give ya that one, when Open gets smp.... I'll have a lot fo fomer linux boxes switched over.
3. Well, I never said ti didn't, but it gets the job done for a techy was my real point. I also have a windows, and Linux box on the same KVM, use whatever for my particular mood really. I'll use Open a lot more once I can compile Galeon on it without pulling out my own wisdom teeth and consulting them for advice.
4. Well, I have only had the Free patch system explained to me, and I heard it was completely different than Open's, I could 180 dgrees off though, and I am probabkly am. The only difference would be, I imagine, that the freebsd documentation on it has a little more detail. I'll put money on that.
1. That's actually all the openBSD installer really is, except it makes sure ya do it in one particular order. And it does no network setup for you, just a little.
2. Never noticed that, but I am a big Open nut, and I honestly don't even have a free box right now.
3. Well, your sort of right, Open on thre desk, is sort of a niche tool for cerytaoin tasks, like a weed whacker, its why I also have a Linux desktop, and my game box, err... I mean, WinXP, all on a KVM.
4. You probably had 3.1 boxes, which were the ultimate low point for OpenBSD in a way. But 3.2 fixes all of that, and I thinbk its better than ever, with my favorite part being privalage escalation. Makes sshd much stronger.
Thanks, I liked my sig too, and I am now 24.... another grey hair.
Ohio's govener at the time wanted some ridiculous ammount of cash for it, like 10 dollars a barrel of water ro something for everything they pumped out fo lake erie. Wish they would have done it, Ohio's economy is shot right now. Seem worse off than any other place I have been recently.
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on several points here.
1. I have found Open is actually easier to install than Free. Granted, this could be due to my love of purely simple methods, which the Open installer is. net is, in my mind, the hardest of the three, with free being very much in the middle.
2. I fail to see how Open is slwoer and more limited. It is true that Free has the most amazing tcp stack in production today, but Open's is pretty tight, and is plenty efficient in disk I/O and CPU usage. Its also not limited in any way. The stock install has a lot less "stuff" in it than most other OS's, but I consider that a definate bonus. "Ports" in a few extras, and you have an awesome, httpd, ftp, mail, dns, whatever server. In my company, we have dual purpose dns/mx backup OpenBSD machines.
3. While it is true that OpenBSD makes a dandy firewall, and quite frankly, I would use nothing else but OpenBSD for said purpose, that's not all its good for, and this "typecasting" has to stop. Does just fine in any other role too, hell, I have an OpenBSD DESKTOP. DESKTOP!
4. As for an Open box getting owned, not surprising. The final step in a secure OS, is knowing how to maintain it, and miantaining Open is no picnic, once free is up and running it is far easier to lean to patch it. Both are fairly simple once ya get the hang of it, but the free learning curve is much faster. And quite frankly, a lot of businesses deploy tons of freebsd machines, lots of admins know it. Open is a newer project, with a smaller real world footprint.
Just my unspellchecked thoughts. Its almost my birthday, I no longer feel compelled to check my typos out.
Maybe even the game will be worth watching.
I guess not, this has been the most boring superbowl I have ever watched. Can I order the condensed version? Nothing but beer commercials please.
Man, even the half time show sucked this year.
Couldn't something be added to file sharing programs to check against user run databases of checksums, such a song, at such a bitrate should sha1 or md5 to this, and red flag files that don't fit the bill, yellow flag files that are unknown to the database. It would up to users to make sure new stuff got added, and admins ot watch out for bad checksums. Users in the gnutella software, or whatever, could define which checksum servers they trust, and which they don't.
If your not careful, it would just add another level they would have to "infiltrate." But I think a little thought could make something along these lines work.
Anyone got anything to add to this? Its not perfect by any means, but checksumming files is one way to spot even minor changes.
My, aren't you reading between lines that aren't meant to read between, I just said I outright hate radio. maybe I like to be in total control fo what I will hear next, or maybe that whole, let's play the same 25 songs all day long gets a bit too repetative for me to handle, but I do listen to my stereo quite often, or I tune it out and jab with the person int he car with me, whatever the time warrents.
My point was, XM is going to fall into the same trap FM does, and variety is going to go out the door in favor of the maximising profits. No, if I want variety, I'll burn a pile of mix cd's, as I do very often.
And no, the world does not revolve around me, the universe revolves around me.
This article is a bit long winded, and for someone who hates radio as much as I do, its inanely boring. But, I read most of it anyways.
here's what the article says in so few words: 1. FM tries to fit people into one of 6 categories. 2. We will try to fit people into 2 or 3 of 100 categories. 3. Hopefully, we won't end up sounding like Sterns and Bob and Tom in the morning.
I have one station that I listen to, its 91.3, NPR, northwest ohio. If I can, I'd rather have a cd in most of the day, because as much as I love classical and Jazz, even NPR doesn't speak to me, but their talk stuff is good.
I feel that I fit the mold of, Radio is for filler background noise in the car when, on a long trip, we have listened to every cd we have three times over. Sorry, but I refuse to pay for what is essentially high quality elevator music.
I'll discover my music the cool way, download mp3's, buy the cd's if I like them. And I have friends, we all share our musical tastes. Radio has never done a thing for me, XM is gonna flop.

Microsoft has more bandwidth than god anyways.
cool, but I said 129/8, specifically, I go to whoever it is that lives in 129.1/17. I think they have a full /17, not sure.
except the is space is considered classless now, class a,b,c, and the rest of those weird ones are now considered obsolete terms. because other netmasks exist other than /8, /16, and /24.
wow, 129/8 is where I go to school, that's pretty funny.
Oh, and whoever set up your network is a moron.

So I decided to wait for publically available iso's, and then this hit. I'll hit it up, heck yeah. I tried to send RH money, they have a cgi app problem that rejects a perfectly good CC which is plenty under the max out limit, they deserve to lose my money.
I thought even that was funny man.

No, I'm just greedy, resigned to there never being enough cpu time to spell check me in my lifetime years ago.
So sue me, I can't type or spell, I don't pretend that I can, cause I don't give a shit.
