And there should be plenty in here. We all have corporate-sponsored (and backed up) Intranet webdrives on reserved under our Intranet names with sharing ACLs tied to bluepages. I have stored gigs up there. You can also get a GSA drive on the Intranet that starts you off with 10GB of space. All officially supported and useful for storing copies of critical data in case a taxi runs over your Thinkpad.
or more interesting.. get the "snow" steganography program.. it (somehow -- still blows my mind) inserts binary into text using whitespace encoding. you can insert your gpg'd tarballs into spoofed journal entries created with the Sugar Plum junk HTML generator. You even have built-in timestamps!
Of course, they may only keep the last 25 comments... hmm... it still seems like all this could be easily scripted with perl.
My uncle has run his tax preparation business out of his home for the last 30 years. I finally got him to make daily updates to his monthly CD-RW and then dupe that to CD-R at the end of each month. Then he keeps a copy in his fireproof safe, the glove compartment in his car for quick getaways, and he exchanges backups with his best friend and neighbor up the street. By now, he may even mail monthly backups to his daughter in Michigan. He lives on the gulf coast of Florida and has to deal with hurricane season and fire season.
I've sat in his hot tub watching fire copters dunk water buckets in a lake past his treeline.
nah, we can get 'em up with a coupla z800's sometime next week. A few thousand virtual servers in a single 19" rack. They'll get tons of floor space back and maybe this time they'll consider DR to another z800 in another building on campus.
Exactly. I was just talking to a friend who's wrists and arms have to be supported. I explained that I've been typing for 22 years (Commodore - age 10) and I don't have any such feelings in my fingers, wrists and certainly not "burning elbows" like she has. Maybe the 18 year-old poster has split his time between a keyboard and one of those new-fangled joysticks with 50 buttons on it -- something I've never touched. I've got another 30 years in my hands and wrists the way they feel today.
You had me nervous.. my contract just expired a week ago and I bought Nextel phones. When I saw your note, I rushed to the phone to make sure they knew I was cancelling. They said they switched me to a month-to-month once my contract expired and it won't be a problem to cancel at all. No termination fee. Phew!
It's just really too bad you can't take a phone for a test drive
Nextel gives 10 whole minutes over 14 days to try it out. Not much I know. My employer renegotiated with them to give us 30 minutes of trial time before signing. And they bought 7,500 phones for Nextel to give us for free. And when those ran out, they negotiated for a 36% PLUS $140 discount on the phones we ended up buying. I got my i95cl for $115 and the GPS phone for my wife for $20.
notice that you put 89% of homes using cable/dish and 11% using UHF (i.e. broadcast channels 14-83). According to your f'd up numbers, not one single household watches channels 2-13 using rabbit ears or a rooftop antenna. Suuuuuure.
OT, but hey. I started testing Bogofilter this weekend. I preloaded 594 good and 253 bad emails. Had 0 false positives and 2 of 24 false negatives in 24 hours. I had to create a new mail folder called "IsSpam" that I could dump false negatives into. I occasionally have to run "bogofilter -S ~/Mail/IsSpam" to force bogofilter to re-evaluate those emails as spam. My question:
Can I setup a fifo or something such that when I move an email into that file, my system will actually execute "bogofilter -S" with the email as STDIN before sending it to the bit-bucket? TIA
oh please, if you know anything about AT&T's business practices, then you know they've already lifted up the lid.. they don't have THAT far to go..
its bad enough that AT&T's entire range of products are commodity items, but c. michael armstrong proceeded to sell off all the parts that could ever make him a profit. he won't be happy until the only thing AT&T has left is consumer long distance. all that "new fangled" technology is just too much for him.
you should frequently do speed checks at dslreports.com or other places. they store your results so you can see how your bandwidth goes over time. my comcast connection has dropped from well over 2Mb to about 500kb in 2 years. Time for the ole "Finger of God" skript. This pipe is....
You're going to have to wait a very long time before "Bell Atlantic" shows up to install your DSL. Of course, the guys may still be out there in their unpainted trucks completing their orders!
Thanks for the laugh at the end of a long day. I needed it.
I maintain the 802.11 demo kit for my region at work, and have a 60-mile (about 18 inches) and 125-mile (over 2 ft) dish kit for 802.11. The 60 mile dish assembly covers the entire 2.4GHz band, and I've often given thought to using it on AO-40.
I would need to mod my HTX-100 to make it an IF rig and then do the same for downlink to my DX-340 general receiver. I'll also need a 23cm uplink Yagi, though. Still, it would make a nice groundstation suitable for a camera tripod.
What does the old t-shirt say? "It's not DX unless its gone 250,000 miles" (or whatever the round trip distance is for EME work)
Funny, when I took it as an IBM-run public class it covered in 4 days what took me 6 years to teach myself. A lot more than just making "expert installers" out of us. I really enjoyed that class.
Looking back on it, I didn't really learn all that much that I didn't already know, except for some advanced X Windows administration. Over half the class failed the exam, so it was more of a confirmation for me that I was making the kind of progress that I thought I was.
Damn! You took my line! The actual place in the joke is the Champs Elysees which ironically leads directly to the Arc du Triomphe. I've been there 3 of the last 8 weeks on business. I told that joke two weeks ago. Right there. To a German guy. He hissed.
Two hours later, he asked me to repeat it so he can get it right when he returned home.
1) I don't want to have to receive everyone's full calendar by email in order to search for free time (when not using Exchange). Last I checked there was a way to enter the URL of someone else's calendar, but no instructions in the manual on how to format the calendar on the web/ftp site. And certainly nothing about how to put it up there. Put some WebDAV hooks into Evo and let an Apache server act as a "calendar hub".
2) Would be nice to sync my calendar with Yahoo! That's what keeps my wife on Windows.
3) Perhaps a plugin API for syncing to address books on cellphones.
That's all for now. I can't move until those work. Pine and Yahoo! until then.
I still don't know my way around dselect at all, that's a car crash. I'm guessing that you mark desired packages with dselect and then do an apt-get dselect-upgrade to execute those installs. I've tried apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade and still get different results from running dselect, not making any selections, and then running apt-get dselect-upgrade. I think dselect detects some critical packages that really should be installed and marks them for download.
I tried to get a Gnome desktop today. I couldn't do an apt-get install gnome. I got gdm, and I got nautilus and x-window-system installed. I finally get X to start, but all the windows, applications, and terminals were all stacking up at 0,0. So I installed sawfish. Then I added nautilus to/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc but it didn't start. So I added it to the ~/.xinitrc for each user, and that worked. The windows and apps were still coming up without a window manager, so I added sawfish ahead of that, but it still didn't work.
I finally decided that I wasn't even anywhere *near* newbieland anymore for troubleshooting efforts, and just did an apt-get install kde kdm and it worked fine. All that to get a goddamned desktop.
And some burrs in my ass each and every time are having to install less, make, gcc, nano, farking with seventeen different libstdc++-dev, aclocal and whatnot and finally getting pissed off when I still can't run make because a version on some file is backlevel and apt-get reports that its up to date.
I even tried to put together a PHP-Nuke box using Apachetoolbox. What was THAT for?!?
I started with Slackware 7 years ago, and passed my RHCE nearly 18 months ago. Debian *is* a huge f'in pain in the ass. If I had a customer that wanted to do static web pages with Apache or run a bunch of Samba servers to keep costs down, Debian seems great, especially with cron-apt installed. They push stability and maturity. Those are about the two most stable and mature products in the Linux arsenal. Anything else will get RH boxes with Red Carpet. Especially when the first customer wants to pilot Linux on the desktop. Of course Debian doesn't play there.
For those who don't know, Red Carpet makes adds and removals (and dependency checking) worlds easier. It kicks the crap out of dselect, too, unless you're some kind of dselect guru.
This seems like overkill when traditional, cheap, analog wireless would accomplish the same thing.
I have been through no less than 4 wired headsets on my StarTAC in the last year. The wire always wears out near the plug. No wires = no wires to wear out.

Jeez. I guess I was lucky to get my police scanner back the night I was cuffed and stuffed for egging pedestrians on mischief night.

Thus, shouldn't this product be called "iEyeTV"?
But that would lead to too much pirating...

Does anyone know how to get past the 137-139 blocks?
WebDAV is how to do file sharing over HTTP with or without SSL. Works with IE5/Windows 2000's Web Folders function.
I do no that SMURF attacks don't require a powerfull computer, so don't reply calling me a moron.
Okay, you're an illiterate moron.
