Man, I'd love a dryer vent style hookup, my room gets hella hot with a 1.33 ghz and a 2.1ghz machine and two big monitors. I just recently switched one monitor to an LCD flat panel, that's helps to a point, but the room still gets hot.
From what I heard also, gov't agencies and other companies wouldn't buy slot styled computers because they were prone to vibrate free. With the socket, you have a big ass metal clip securing the heatsync on the mobo, with the chip underneath. I don't know how many computers you've put together, but slots were always kinda klunky, and sockets are just so much more elegant. Plus the chip is closer to the board now anyway with sockets, where it should be.
Is there any reason you like slot1's better than because it was what you were used to?:) You can buy slot1 to socket and socket to slot1 converters btw, they aren't that much, so your form factor change point is moot.

Ahh, that's it, I only see auto-resolve junk for.net as well,.com wilcards don't resolve yet. I could probably restart my dns server, but that's too much work for something I don't want.:(
Well sure you CAN do it, but that doesn't mean it's to be done. I run reiserfs, so yeah, my filesystem will remain in tact, but there's a chance that the data might not be. I've dealt with enough UPSes to know they give you enough time to totally shut down before the battery dies, it only took all of 10-15 seconds to shutdown properly.
And actually, I don't think Windows XP Pro does scandisk anymore with NTFS5, but I could be wrong, my XP box doesn't crash that much. My linux box actually goes tits up more often than XP, but that's because of a flakey hard drive or something. My secondary IDE interface with the 200 gig hard drive likes to reset occasionally, the drive never comes back, and basically any applications that try to access the drive after that lock up solid, a power cycle brings it back... rather frustrating... But that's ok, the stuff that I'm storing on that 200 gig drive I wouldn't really miss.:) My primary 120 gig drive has a nice safe back up.:)
I live an North Eastern Ohio. I had two CRT monitors on and plugged into normal power. Both of my computers are on a UPS. I specifically remember my monitors dimming and then comming back a few times, all the awhile my UPS is going nuts, supplying extra battery power to keep the voltage up. My lights remained on, but dimmed. Then a few seconds later, maybe 10-15, the power totally went out.
So of course I shut down my Windows machine as fast as I could, as this isn't a beastly UPS by any means, and two computers on it won't last long. I'm skilled in the art of windows keyboard shortcuts, so shuting down was no problem. As far as writing code goes, I probably save the file I'm working on once at least every 60 seconds out of habbit, ctrl-s is your friend.:) So then a few minutes later my UPS starts really going nuts, so I shutdown my linux box, by ctlr-alt-backspacing out of x, and then giving it the three finger salute. Anyway, enough rambling.:)
Kind of odd, when the power came back, the next day my central air conditioner wasn't working after I noticed it being hotter than blazes in my computer room. The circuit breaker for that had been tripped, none of the others were.
This is NVIDIA's Official statement: "The Optimizations for Half-Life 2 shaders are in the 50 series of drivers which we made available to reviewers on Monday [Sept. 8, 2003]. Any Half-Life 2 comparison based on the 45 series driver are invalid. NVIDIA 50 series of drivers will be available well before the release of Half-Life 2".
While I, like everyone else don't like trading off quality for framerate blah blah blah. Who knows what ATI's quality is like? Maybe they optimized their DX9 drivers for the fastest possibly/crappy quality off the bat. I'm going to wait to get the reviews for the Det 50 drivers and get some reviews of what the quality looks like on each card before I'll be making any purchases.
I was actually all set to buy an nv 5600 ulta until this came out. Think I'm gonna wait for them to duke it out a little bit and get to the bottom of things before I decide...
I just set up a procmail filter, drop the message, no bounce, no nothing, just gone, as it should be, I don't want any exe attachments, even if it is only some "cute game". Added this to my.procmailrc file:
#roast all emails with executable attachments:0 B * ^ *Content-Disposition: attachment; * filename=".*\.(pif|exe|com|scr)"/dev/null
I've tried quite a few imaps server, and I'd recommend dovecot handsdown. It's the best that I've used, and I've tried about every one that in Debian/unstable.:)
It's solid, quite a few security options, integrates pretty darn well, etc. And you don't have to mess around with maildir format or anything which is nice. It actually indexes your mbox files so performance is pretty good. It also supports SSL quite nicely, probably the easiest to setup, although I'm running debian, not gentoo... It seems to be one of the fresher ones out there, only started in June 2002, but it's quite stable/mature. Probably written by people who hate Cyrus, UW, etc.
Site that I learned about recently, but have yet to buy anything from em cd baby. Looks to be pretty nice, I listened to some of the samples, but I've been so busy with other junk that I haven't actually decided on what to buy.:)
The term "bug" in the technical sense was used long before that. That's just a famous episode of an actual bug causing a bug. Look at the history of the bug for more information.
I don't know if I remember seeing this on slashdot before, but I definitly remember seeing this quite a long time ago... And it was lame then. Now it's just dumb. OMG if you switch a low current psu wire with a high one on your mobo connector your board will fry, who woulda thunk it?
I just totally fail to see the humor, and I'm usually pretty easy to get to laugh. It's not even clever nor gives you good tips of what to AVOID, which is what you'd expect, oh well.
My road runner is $26.55/mo. But that's only because the city of Wadsworth has their own cable company and internet service. So Time Warner lowers their price to match so they don't get totally forced out of town. If I lived in the next town, I'd be charged $49.99/mo just like everyone else. Lets hear it for competition.
Wadsnet actually offers 3 different rates. Ranging from $16 to $23 to $67/mo. I'd still use them if they didn't put everyone NATed behind a firewall so their tcp connections time out after 15 minutes or so.
And put a big sign above it that says "do not push".
Which actually reminds me of a funny story....
I used to work for a dot com start up until recently. Anyway, at our old office there was a "big red button" on the wall ( a left over from the previous tenants of the building ), that we all always glared at, wondering what it did. I was always a big supporter of the "never push it" philosophy, whilst other people wanted to push it and find out what it did.
Well, one day, a client was in the office, and she jokingly asked what the "big red button" was for. One of the guys says, oh it does nothing because he's sure he remembers someone else pushing it before... He pushed it. Just then about 90% of the power in the building went out, only a few random lights remained on. Keep in mind the building we were in actually houses a few other companies, and their power went out as well.
One can only guess why that button was there. But to this day, I never miss a chance to say "I told you so". Curiosity, indeed, killed the cat.
As someone else suggests. It sounds like you have to ask the right way and be lucky enough to catch the SPEWS guy in a good mood. Damn annoying yes, and I'm glad another spews feed has gone down.
Maybe SPEWS is still ticked off at UUNet and how crappy they were at taking action against spammers in the past. Which is dumb, but very possible...
Probably because we were the new owners of the class c, that why we got removed, any other circumstances it sounds like we would have had a hard time. I hardly a SPEWS supporter, far from it. I relying soley on blacklists to block spam is a bad solution, and causes numerous headaches that I have experienced in the past.
spews listens to usenet for unblock requests, my work's class c was black listed when we got it. I had to post to usenet, eventually I got a response and was unblocked, but ya, it's kind of a pain. I think spam assassin/filtering is a much better method, but I suppose a dual pronged attack is better, SA can use blacklists to rate email as well I think....
It's actually what I use to back things up. It's just my personal data after all. Sure it's not perfect, but it's way better and cheaper than anything else I've found/tried. The original poster meant double hard drives rsync as a means to back up personal data, the just like CDR's are used. No one in their right mind would ever back up their company's data to CDR's. Use tape, or the incremental backups as above.
I'm pretty sure, it's Linus that appoints people. After all, it's HIS kernel. If people don't like that, they're more than welcome to fork.
As far as the process getting involved? Start hacking away, submit patches, maybe eventually you'll get bitkeeper access and Linus will start trusting you and your judgement. You'll fall into you're own little role hacking away on the kernel, adding cool stuff, fixing bugs, etc.. Those are the people that are chosen for stable kernel maintenance.
Same thing happened here, I went over to my Girlfriend's parent's house and hung out with them, grilled some burgers, and preparred to have an ice cream fest if the power didn't come back on (unfortunately it did). It was just starting to get dark enough to see stars, when I said, "wow, how cool, a clear day, all the power is out, maybe we'll be able to see more than a few hundred stars". As if on cue, the power came back on no more than 15 seconds later. Boy was I dissapointed.
No shit, I've gotten 10x more "Your message has a virus" messages than the actual virus itself, probably because these aren't being caught by any of my filters. I just recently bumped MICROSOFT_EXECUTABLE on spamassassin to a score of 4.0. I'm thinking of making it an automatic 5, no one should be sending exe attachments anyway.
