If you want to encrypt or hide or transport all your passwords it's easy in safari but hard in firefox since how it's done changes.
A very nifty solution for this is 1Password which has a plugin to handle the Firefox integration. That way I can have a very secure password on every web site all stored in secure place.
I'm sure I'm not going to remember something like negeuvnipakwok off the top of my head, but it sure makes for a more secure password.
IIRC, I couldn't use this to the full power because slashdot had an upper limit to the password size. Too bad, I kind of like voahedvujkovramcagpywrojrynantyatyagyewpyeacbugfak
That misunderstanding is why so many people fear the GPL.
The GPL can not force you to relicense your code.
Or to put it another way, they shouldn't fear the GPL... they *should* fear the repercussions of stealing other people's code. GPL code simply means, you cannot use this code unless you are willing to share yours too.
I disagree. I think you should estimate as best you can for larger projects, but quote a per-hour rate as your binding price. Try to stay as close within your estimate as possible, of course,
And be open and honest with the client wrt how well you are meeting your goal. If I grossly underestimate my time, I will usually indicate it to the client, and offer to discount some of the time.
There are bigger things to think about, like whether you or someone else will be able to comprehend or reuse your code in six months.
Which of course is possible in any language, even in perl. I gave python a try once upon a time, and the thing that killed me was that at the time, the language supported a push operation on an array, but had no pop function (or was it the other way around). I kid you not, the function was missing. I found out that it was added in the next dot release... but I've never been able to really like python, partly due to the whitespace, and partly due to the frustration that insued due to that past omission.
I also have to agree with LaskoVortex: having something *unseen* have the ability to change the behaviour of code is just scary.
but it would certainly nice to see all computer come with anti-virus software that checks for the virii of other platforms, to reduce overall infection rates.
You mean like all those Linux and BSD mail servers out there that constantly scan email for Windows viruses and malware?
It's not that morbid, though it probably would give a spacewalker a bit of a scare. But in the event that they lose both tethers and float off, they also have the SAFER packs to get them back.
Not me... I finally feel like my internal clock is in sync now that the DST is over. It's nice to have the sky getting light when it's time to get up... (or go to work, depending on your schedule)
"echo ProtocolKeepAlives 120 >>/.ssh/config" No more dropped ssh sessions because of stupid nat boxes.
Nice, I have wondered for some time why one site kept disconnecting me. However, it might be good to use the right option, "ProtocolKeepAlives" didn't work for me:
ServerAliveInterval
Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has
been received from the server, ssh will send a message through
the encrypted channel to request a response from the server. The
default is 0, indicating that these messages will not be sent to
the server, or 300 if the BatchMode option is set.
ProtocolKeepAlives is a Debian-specific compatibility alias for
this option.
As for "working great on your OEM Machine" - frankly, that's weird. That it worked better on the more unusual hardware, but didn't work on the commodity hardware you bought later, tells me that what you bought later was crap. It's that simple.
Indeed, that's what I thought too. Most of the time I build computers myself, and though I don't research every part to verify compatibility, I've never really had much trouble. Ubuntu also ran just fine on the one OEM system I bought, a Dell.
My brother just had to return a printer because the drivers for Win2k would freeze during installation. OTOH, the Linux support for HP printers is awesome.
I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience, but I really find stories like this to be odd. I haven't had an install of any distro fail to recognize hardware since... oh I think about 1998. Maybe 2000. And that was due to a buggy 3com card that had problems in windows too.
The last version or two of ubuntu have even gone beyond what I expected - my HP 7310 network printer even works with the scanner and card reader features - Ubuntu just found it automatically.
If we're going to be putting anecdotal evidence out here, I have to toss in a vote for "I had no driver problems at all"
OTOH, I have had quite a few instances of windows drivers not working, particularly printers and video card drivers.

I prefer BackupPC due to the web interface to restore files. I only wish they had the VSS option fully working.

gah, I looked up when I should look down. I meant to agree with 19thNervousBreakdown on that last point. I should go to bed now.

The student has to enter their userid, password, pin, and RSA Token. Once this is done
... the student withdraws from the university and looks for a campus that is less draconian. Oops, the Uni is out of business.
Man, and I forgot worst case scenario, they *can* undock the shuttle quickly if they have to and chase the astronaut down.
*Jack Nicholson voice*
Is there any other kind????

And it seems these type of threads are always started newbs who think 6 digit uid's are old. ;)
Funny, but the grammar is too good to be a Nigerian scam...

My ISP, Cable One, does in fact block outbound port 25. Makes it hard to test remote mail servers. :(
But they do allow inbound port 25, so I can run my own mail server and just set their SMTP server as a smarthost in my own postfix config.
(insert juvenile jokes here :-)).
Isn't there an emacs command for that?
Looking at my waistline, it's been more than 3 forks... more like 10 years worth of forks (meals).

Seriously? You must not use it much.
My coffee pot is on a timer so it's already brewing as I take care of other business. next?

tumble it in a laundry dryer,
This got modded insightful???
I've heard a lot of unusual ways to clean electronics, but I've never heard "tumble dry, low" before. LOL
