I always ATH0'd my modem when it saw that someone dropped. Sometimes your fossil would not play well with your OS, BBS, Frontdoor, etc, etc. The easiest way to deal with a modem hanging for any odd reason was to bring it back to default and to then re-init it as the BBS shuttles back out to frontdoor.
Some of my USR init strings were HUGE. They made me feel hellacool.
I have built an online web portal for just these things (In perl). BTW, for Windbloze, use cygwin.
It is an administrative interface that lets you enter the name or ip of an ssh server, a username, and password. From there, you login and it gives you a directory listing of the home dir of the user (on the remote system) via a web based file manager. It has editting capabilities, delete, copy, archive, mail, etc, etc, etc, and runs without any java, javascript, frames, or cookies. Just straight HTML 3.0.....
It's really great, but I have not finished it yet, the major parts are done, but I don't want to let it out till it's 100%.
Also, it has a webterm that I made, and will let you travel the tree easily (in file view mode). It will be up in a couple of months and I will post it on freshmeat.net
The site that hosts most of my stuff is
http://www.fixyoursink.net
One of the coolest web apps that I have made is popdot. It's an emailer that was built off of ATDOT, and is a simple emailer front end for your apached web server. You specify the pop server and your pop users can login and check mail, send mail, send attachements etc etc... All of this once again without java junk or any of the other "web pitfalls" that the major corps have "devised".
I like how the gov sets this up as a "help service" for people. Created by the CIA, NSA, and "Private Corporations". Must be really good software.
Hmmm... Isn't a Trojan Horse supposed to look appealing?
Then they prattle about how they want the "Vendors" to be responsible. Who pays?
We make the bugs, they ship them. They don't need a bill for this either I bet. No wrangling around in a senate because it is a good for them thing.
Nice manuevering by the gov and corps. Doens't anyone understand why they get to take the money? Because they are "Smoove" enough to be able to get at it. And we are all sheep.
Are you all so shallow as to not understand why they are doing this? They don't want FREE lans everywhere so they would of course want to enforce who uses it when etc etc... $$$$ is the bottom line but they need to be able to say to the gov, "hey, we have these here, they should pay us $$$ for access charges because we have already invested $$$$ in this.."
Something maybe like those charges on my phone bill. They call them "Long distance access charges". I don't even have long distance but still get nailed for it. They understand that there is a limited amount of time in hand to "claim this" (Wireless freenet grid).
The money that we invest in it, we can kiss goodbye because we won't legally be able to share (like cable, do you pay for the tap or for a "family household").
Fuck them. My thinkpad that I bought is my first and last (The mouse constantly moves 6 cm to the right under linux anways, even in software mode. They don't have an answer but say they "back linux". Bullshit.)
I'll be going out to get my new netgear 802.11a access point tomorrow (heres to happy drive by hacking on my anonymous network hehe, and to a free neighborhood of IP).
BTW, you COULD recoup the cost of your high speed connection by having a charity fund in the neighborhood. Until the time that everyone is wireless of course (Which is what they are afraid of).
And what's with saying it's like switching from Windows to Linux? First, what the fook is wrong with linux bitch?
There are far fewer applications currently available for Linux, and hence you are limited in what you can do with it. If you can't see the parallels to the DRM scenario, and the problems potentially created, I'm afraid you really aren't looking very hard.
You have him on a lot of points, but when you say that there are fewer apps currently available for linux, you are dead wrong....
Remember, this is a variation of UNIX (The ultimate free version, freebsd bitches go home, you know who you are;-) )
I have been using GNU/Linux for over 6 years now and have had NO problem finding applications for Linux, they have matured very well over the years. In fact, goto freshmeat.net and see the postings of all the new software that they list. You will find mine under "popdot", a non-java, non-javascript, non cookie, pop-3 email gateway for isps et al.
Really, when I do a search for linux apps, I find tons of them, and 90% are free. Besides, all the windows software that there is sucks. I'm an MCSE (a REAL one) and I got so sick of OUTLOOK dying on me on send that I started to write in notepad first so that I could save it, then cut and past it into outlook to send it. I can't tell you how much more productive I became after I finally loaded lin on my work machine (4 years ago). After that it was just a matter of manhandling my NT servers from my linux workstation (samba, telnet, etc, etc, etc)
I did re-install Windows once at home withing that 6 years, but after I installed it I just sat there and looked at the screen dumbfounded. I didn't know what to do with the machine since I couldnt name one windows application that I wanted to run. Funny thing is that when you are an MCSE and work for a company that is a partner with ms, you get ALL of their software fore FREE. I had practically every piece of m$ software at my fingertips (Server and workstation) and didnt want to use any of it, not to mention all the other software that I had accumulated in my previous life as a sysop.
Visio? Pahh. Try xfig. IE? Try Mozilla. WIMP? Try GTV. Winamp? Try xmms. Adobe? Try XPDF. The list goes on an on.
Oh, another thing. My cdrom ejects in, not just out. eject -l:-) Why doesnt yours? Your supported right? Well, now I'm starting to rant so I better shut up since I have nothing against you and you probably hate DRM as much or more than I do.
You should try linux one day. We have the way out.
You said it all. They ARE a company and their first priority is to the shareholders, NOT the consumers.... Since this is the case, why would I want to use their software when there is software that has been created by real world professionals?
Their time is coming to a close. Shit like this only hastens it. I have a choice and I will exercise it.
The only reason that they are this far ahead in the game is because of SHEEP like you. No spine except for a big yellow line down the back.
I'll do it because it is "convienent". Putz. You are all just a bunch of fucking sheep. Losers. You WILL get what you deserve and that is to be treated like the little bitch whores that you are.
Fuck the "Linux Advocacy HOWTO". I cant you take you patsys anymore.
(Sorry but I watched Jay and Silent Bob last night, awesome film, and yes, it was bought.)
Why go thru all the bullshit? Just install linux instead..... I've run it as my servers and desktops for five plus years. Works great.
Does video and audio better than the other guys. I use video for linux for encoding and it works very well. I tried that really expensive video software for windows (I think it was adobe something or other) and it just sucked....
This is why I ran my OWN bbs (for free), and why I run my own site (free)....
A turd starts out small, but then gets bigger. If you were REALLY having problems, you would have someone with some bandswidth host it for you (possibly a university? I know, blah blah, but that is what they are for and that is where it started damnit). How about IBM?
It's time to take back the bullshit, I am soooooo close to installing frontdoor for linux hehehee..
What? MPEG-1 rocks!:-) I use it still and want more people to use it. I have setup a video/audio jukebox and it uses 1 and looks great (Sure the files are huge, but the quality is there).
Are you sure your not using a WINDOWS mpeg encoder? They all suck balls. Use linux with mp1e and you have it licked.
? Who the hell says that anyone should be able to advertise in a "PUBLIC" place? I PAY for that fucking building.... I don't want to see anyone advertising in it! Why should they advertise? I pay taxes so that they get salaries (The mailman).
How about us putting in "Drink Pepsi" signs in our pre-schools then...... Maybe Pepsi will pay for pencils eh?!
This class brought to you by Pepsi (Troy Mclure ?)
Hmmm... If you think about it, how hard would it be to plant a person at a company to intentionally code bad code as a (spy) programmer. It would be simple, and would probably be easy to do if you were that low and could pull of the charade for a bit.
Look at the M$ netscape weenie bug, that went completely by peer review (supposedly). I am glad that they came out with it right away. It gives you the chance to stop the service if you had it running.
S thru O is bull to me though, although the other poster was right, passwords are obscure, but you need to have a solid foundation that is realible so that the simple obscure password can be relied upon.
If you are stupid enough to not be sure that you have taken other precautions to ensure that you know when a person has rooted you, you shouldn't be in charge of anything that is that important anyway.(if networking is your job).
People need to realize that their systems might one day be compromised. A networking engineer makes their doe by insuring that if one machine in the cluster gets popped, it won't be able to attack other machines in the domain. The admin of course will have an immediate alert (tripwire clone, syslog, etc, etc) to their cell phone, etc, etc, etc.
I would like to see them try! In fact, I wouldn't mind this going into effect at all, just as long as it goes both ways....
Create a few icons that are "copyrighted", hack the shit out of their network, delete ALL their files, then say that you are a copyright holder... I would LOVE to tell them that I hacked them right to their fat ugly faces:-)
Pantywastes that they are.....
Thanks,
Steve
Bring on the noise Helen Keller!
What a suckup article...
>>> The company contends that its software is targeted by virus writers and malicious hackers because it is so ubiquitous.
What about an answer like "Everybody hates Bill and wants to mess with his street kred"? The guys
a knee-biter.
>>> In addition, the company also said it would continue addressing security issues during the development of its software to minimize the number of bugs and holes in its new products.
Is it just me, or does this just take up room like
gas?
Linux IS better though, and it sounds like you are wasting 3 out of 4 of your machines. OUCH
Seriously though, I had a really nice P120 at one time that ran Linux and E dr7?(about what? 5 years ago?) that I would hammer with process, and all it would do was forge on. 25 xscreensavers in windows on one desktop, 30 pictures using gimp on another, xeyes on another, netscape, xedit, etc, etc, etc and it ran great! I even had the lightning screensaver going over my background which was cool as hell.
Hands down, that is performance.... It just keeps getting better though.
The time is prime for gnu/linux. I have been running it for over five years as my desktop and people keep saying that it isn't ready for desktop yet... That's bullshit.

Download an ISO of gnu/linux and go nuts. That would seem to be the better alternative to all that nasty typing of numbers :-)
I will marry you, you are such a smooth operator.

Damn right! It pisses me off that they use OUR money for this shit also.
Hey, look on the bright side, we just legally got our 1st industrial hemp plant planted in hawii!

Use APMD.... It can be used on regula machines also.
It features the "sleep" mode and "suspend" mode and will swap all the system info to the HD.
I'm sure it has already be said, but I like to be redundant P-)

Heh, I was thinking the same thing. Looks cool, but hows it taste?
I run it and am trying to get other people to use it. I have set it up for demo and have a few people looking at it right now.
:-P
As with most web apps that are clean and small, it flies.
Way to go people that created sql-ledger. You have filled a hole that has been needing attention for a long time.
If I had a nickel everytime solomon or nt crashed, I'd be as rich as bill. Don't forget that they offer documentation and support for $100!
I'll try to get my own business going first though
now, wher'ed I put that startup money?
Garden Gnomes rock.
