  1. Re:"I hate to /. them but..."? on Hosting Problems For distributed.net · · Score: 2

    Glad to hear this. I did feel sort of bad about even submitting the story, but I figured it would bring a lot of attention to you needs.

  2. Fax early and often... on Slashback: Spolsky, Mandrake, Geography · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've got a better idea. I'll e-mail my senator a picture of me in my backyard wacking trees with my chainsaw!

  3. Interland on Verisign Sending Deceptive Domain Renewal Mail? · · Score: 1

    Just got a "renewal notice - do not discard" this morning from Interland trying to get me to add one of those useless ".biz" extensions to my main domain.

    I passed your suggestion on to the administrator. Better now?

  5. Re:Opposite Solution on Ximian Connector 1.0 Available · · Score: 1

    Sorry. As far as I know, the InsightConnector solution would only work with all Windows/Outlook clients.

  6. Re:Opposite Solution on Ximian Connector 1.0 Available · · Score: 2
    Yes, it replicates all normal Outlook folders inside of IMAP. You can create a company IMAP/Outlook account with permissions for everyone to build a company calendar. For free/busy we post the info to an FTP account.

    I will admit that the application is not perfect, but it is pretty damn good and I would guess there will be another release with some bug fixes soon.

  7. NY Times Login on How Much Are You Paying For A Nameplate? · · Score: 1
    You have to register to read NY Times links.

    Anyone have an alternate link?

  8. Opposite Solution on Ximian Connector 1.0 Available · · Score: 5, Informative
    There is a new product called InsightConnecter available from Bynari that allows you to replace MS Exchange with a standard IMAP server. This is a good solution for those who are stuck using Outlook, but have access to a Linux server and don't want to use Exchange. It works as an Outlook Add-In and "tricks" Outlook into thinking that the IMAP server is Exchange Server.

    It is not free, but very reasonably priced.

    You can also find a brief summary of it here.

    Smells like fish....tastes like, crap?

  10. Re:SETI on Science Grid Genesis · · Score: 1

    I want to believe that we are not along, I'm just not sure that SETI is how we're going to make contact.

  11. SETI on Science Grid Genesis · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wonder if they'll run the SETI client on it during non-peak times. We could find nothing that much faster!

  12. How profitable is spam? on Spam Increases Make Things Tough For Companies · · Score: 5, Funny
    I know its cheap, but I'm really curious to see how much spammers really profit from their ads. There has to be a certain profile for the person who really believes that they can enlarge their penis by "clicking here".

    Maybe the spammers should focus on only AOL addresses since their members seem to like daily solicitation, and leave the rest of us alone!

  13. Fermat's Last Theorem on Simpsons Guide to Math · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you're interested in Fermat's Last Theorem, Fermat's Enigma is a fairly interesting and easy read. It covers both history on Fermat and Andrew Wiles who finally proved the theorem in 1993/1994.

  14. CVS Link on Beginning Project Documentation? · · Score: 1

    Transposed letters in the URL. This is the link for CVS.

  15. Some thoughts... on Beginning Project Documentation? · · Score: 1
    In general, we use a hierarchical directory structure for documents (i.e. programming/project_a, programming/project_b, etc.) and place it on a network drive with access privileges for the appropriate people.

    CVS can be a pretty good option for text/html-based documentation. It can work for binary files too, but then you can't see diffs.

    For hand-drawings, etc., you could always use a scanner, but I don't know how practical it would be. It would give you the ability to back stuff up in case of disaster.

    Whatever you do, be consistent and be sure to document your documentation scheme.

  16. Re:Some pictures of our server room on Planning a Small Server Room · · Score: 1
    We actually had some heavy-duty rack caps custom welded for the server room to accomidate the UPS units. I agree that it does create a very high center of gravity, but we're very careful and it is actually more stable than you might think.

    The real pain was lifting the stupid things up there!

  17. Alternate Link on Planning a Small Server Room · · Score: 1

    Upgraded the site today and realized that my article addressing changed. Click here instead.

  18. Just waiting to be hacked... on Census Bureau Wants 500,000 Handhelds in 2010 · · Score: 5, Funny
    Hopefully this goes without saying, but they better have a very good security model.

    Otherwise we might see small rural areas with amazing population booms, their own congressional districts, and lots of federal $$$.

  19. Pretty good resource on Linux Tuning Tricks? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Lots of nice little Linux tidbits can be found on The Linux Pimp. Can't think of a site more ontopic for this post. The intro is pretty funny too.

  20. $50/e-mail! on Class Action Lawsuit Against Spammer · · Score: 2, Funny
    I could retire at $50/spam message!

    The big problem is how can we get at all of the garbage that originates overseas? Half of my spam comes from ".tw"

    While it would be nice to get rid of spam, I will miss the daily opportunity to have my penis enlarged.

  21. Some pictures of our server room on Planning a Small Server Room · · Score: 1
    We recently built a new office and put quite a bit of thought into the server room. You can see some pictures here (server room pics at the bottom).

    Some of our considerations included:
    - LOTS of conduit dropping into the server room
    - separate A/C
    - plenty of 110 & 220 circuits
    - separate electrical panel tied to a generator by-pass switch
    - workbench
    - plywood on all the walls (for mounting equipment, stapling, etc.)

    It is by far my favorite room in the building!

    That wasn't very nice - now you've gone an hurt my feelings.

    I was thinking more along the lines of how the Federal Government regulates the water flow in the Atchafalaya using locks.

  24. Legislation - Argh! on ICANN Board Spurns Democratic Elections · · Score: 1
    Seems there is an underlying flaw with having governing organizations for the Internet. It is like legislating how much water can flow in a river (which , by the way, has actually be done more than you might think).

    Just my two cents of course.
