I will be working in a remote area without access to the internet so im looking into buying a cellphone with unlimited access then just plug that puppy into my laptop maybe avoiding the use of an aircard. I did some looking yesterday and AT&T would basically charge 60 a mo for that and its a 5gig limit. Which is extremely unlikely to go over even if you used it as a home connection. I dont have access to At&T's broadband (only edge) in that area so im not going with it.
Verizon has the same thing except you can't get calls while browsing the web. they also are under a 5 gig limit. I have a sprint booklet here saying unlimited data for $60 a mo too. looks like they all have unlimited services if you want it. I just need to know which is fastest/best coverage.
I've only heard ludicrous two times in my life.
Once from Spaceballs and once from Mike Tyson.
my keen intuition tells me you'd be an interesting character.
That just means that you need to have a large TCP window to compensate the large bandwidth-delay product. No real problem. The connection sucks for anything interactive, but bulk is just fine. I've got satellite. Latency effects more than you think. Yes for big files its fine but p2p, web surfing, voip, if you voice chat. Sometimes my latency is 2-3000ms. id rather have a 384kb dsl line at home and just grab my.iso's at work.
probably too late to get a response but I dont understand. Right now I pay $80 for wildblue satellite at 1.5mb speed. Would using my cellphone's wireless be less expensive or better latency wise? i ping at over 1000ms most of the time. Id certainly rather have a wireless i can use anywhere if the speeds are roughly the same im going to have bad latency either way cause cable/dsl dont run out here.
I dont know if It's the "best" way to secure a web browser but I read a few days ago on a Red Hat employee's blog about how Fedora 9 is going to have the browser confined by SElinux, the way its done is kinda clever in my opinion cause it confines the wrapper. Making plugins only allowed to write to.mozilla or.adobe, etc. I dont think it will protect against mozilla (yet) flaws itself but plugins are certainly more than half the battle. the URL is http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/15700.html#cutid1 if you're curious.
You might also want to point out that this would turn the ISPs into police and give them some of the powers of police. Policing should stay in the hands of government. If the government really wants to police this they can follow proper legal procedures for establishing a wire tap, proving guilt, etc. It is a very slippery slope allowing ISPs to monitor traffic and make decisions based on what they see in the traffic. What if they decide to start monitoring MP's email and publish interesting tidbits?
Finally, I'm halfway down the page before someone stops to ask is this okay? instead of how to get around it. When this stuff happens in the states were like wtf! but in the EU it appears they are maybe not OKAY with it but appear desensitized to it. I hope this isn't the direction the US is headed towards with our new president and house. Where they peer into our life and we "expect it" atleast when they do it now our alarms go off.
I think they should replace airline security with the option of drawing a picture of Mohamed and then pissing on it, then eating pork, denounce any existence in god. Maybe watch 12 minutes of two men kissing. Id love to piss on someones god, I love bacon. You change that to two women kissing and you got yourself one hell of an airline. I mean two women is just as bad to them as two men, except most westerners (hi france!) would sure enjoy the two women more.
a wise man once told me in simple terms if you want to win a war against the muslims you bury them in pigs blood and pig shit. You'll notice they'll stop being so happy to die.
Kinda extreme but It would work i think.
if they're going to use our freedoms against us maybe it should be okay to use thier weakness (religon) against them.
Moderate Muslims have no particular objection to these images. It's the crazy fundamentalist Muslims that kill people over stuff like this and try to get laws passed requiring women to wear burquas all the time
so you're saying the 75,000-100,000 people that signed this petition are not moderates? well either you're wrong or there is 100,000 extremists on that paper. getting that many people to sign anything other than a lottery ticket is not easy.
I hope you're wrong and they are moderates cause thats alot of religious fanatics.
Police state anyone? Things are getting worse and worse.
Last October this happened to me when flying to Canada, but they're really free right?
and on the way home i had to hear two Canadian ladies talk about how Americans do searches at the border and go on speels about 9/11 and Bush while im on my way home from Canada where they asked questions like "are you taking canadian jobs" i said no you ass, im training Canadians to do my job. then the proceeded to turn me back because of a 12 year old DUI when i was 16. Since then having a spotless record. but Canada is utopia and the US is satan.
It was humiliating watching them go through my laptop and copying files from my cd burner. they wouldn't even let me see what they were copying or looking at. I had recently reformatted but still how the hell do I know if they were using undelete tools or whatever. Complete b.s. man
Guess who's behind the smear campaign? That's right, Mike Huc
Why are you blaming the smear campaign on the republicans? any proof?
If they were going to do this smear wouldn't they wait till AFTER he was nominated.
All this does is push Hillary out in front and make the smear pointless from a republican point of view. This is obviously Clinton camp.
I read about this the other day on fox so although you didn't see it on CNN other news sites apparently did.
People on slashdot haven't mentioned yet the reason for the gag order apparently is cause they want to investigate the officials and see whats going on.
I know its a good knee jerk reaction to yell conspiracy but if you caught a spy in your midst wouldn't you want to counter intel back instead of just firing him and posting the paperwork? This whistle blower might have blown an investigation for all we know.
I just wanted to know whether he'd switch Redhat to apt and.deb in the near future
Why would he do that? RPM has many more features, more of an industry standard, etc and yum has just as many features as apt including some apt doesn't have. There is a yum is faster and uses cache just like apt and even has plugins like fast mirror. A yum update takes me 3 seconds across several different repositories. like adobe, livna, updates and kernel mods so the speed is not a problem either like 90% of other distro users still believe.
I really hope that people get with the new decade and see RPM's are just fine since 10 years ago when you tried installing gimp.suse.rpm on a redhat box.
yes yum has a fast mirror plugin
you can do a yum update in 3 seconds. Is apt-get on ubuntu 2.8 seconds or something?
yum install yum-fastestmirror
yum -C (cache)
but hey rpm t3h sux
Nothing hidden here I dont think. profits are up 12% this quarter per usual
This company really has its stuff together IMO i hope it continues to without Szulik who was a big reason for the companys direction.
Thanks for the headsup. I'm on 1.5mb so i've got about 17gigs a month cap. i dont d/l that much but i like to d/l my linux iso's from torrents. I hope anyway
Which other ISP's are involved in this phuckery?
I'm a new Satellite customer (wildblue) and bit torrent appears to have
similar issues. Mainly with keeping a connection. Once BT starts to pick up speed
its like it gets disconnected and starts scraping again. Does this sound like a RST aswell?
I'm not sure if my issues are with the ISP messing with me or Satellite just having horrible latency and packet loss. Anyone know?
but MACs? Although Linux has them, I'm not sure if Fedora 8 has MAC on memory, packets, etc, but Linux in general does.
I was under the impression "general" linux does not have MAC, it is a DAC system and SeLinux is adding that MAC ability. Atleast as a true system ie trusted Solaris.
7.4. USB Booting
Another way to use these Live images is to put them on a USB stick. To do this, install the livecd-tools package from the development repository. Then, run the livecd-iso-to-disk script:
Replace/dev/sdb1 with the partition where you want to put the image.
This is not a destructive process; any data you currently have on your USB stick is preserved.

2.2.1. Spins
Fedora includes several different spins, which are variations of Fedora built from a specific set of software packages. Each spin has a combination of software to meet the requirements of a specific kind of end user. In addition to a very small boot.iso image for network installation, users have the following spin choices:
* A regular Fedora image for desktops, workstations, and server users. This spin provides a good upgrade path and similar environment for users of previous releases of Fedora.
* One of four Live images that can be run from a disc or USB flash device, and can be installed to hard disk as desired. See the "Live" section for more information about the Live images.
More custom spins are available at http://spins.fedoraproject.org./ Remember that these Live images can be used on USB media via the livecd-iso-to-disk utility available in the livecd-tools package.

* codecbuddy
* yum improvements (yes it's fast)
* packagemanagement improvements (change repos and more)
* gui for firewall
* online desktop
* the whole fedoraproject.org website and associated projects
* Network Manager suppose to have seamless capabilities
* New Syslog demon
* seamless bluetooth integration and laptop improvments
I can go on. I'm very excited about this release you kidding?
Forgive me but haven't they won when our women are property and they've converted us all to wahhabiism or killed us? I could have sworn they had a different goal than us getting passports.
