  1. Re:Slowing down dictionary attacks on OpenSSH 4.2 released · · Score: 2, Informative

    no no no no...

    If you want replies for previously accepted requests, do NOT use ! --syn
    Instead you should use the state table (which is what iptables was designed for).

    iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -s 0/0 -d (outer ip/net) -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED

    This is light years more efficient and secure. Also check out the iptstate package so you can actually see what is in the magic state table.

    You should watch more Tex Avery shorts, place tongue firmly in cheek, and make like Frankie and *RELAX*. Sheesh, he was just making a funny ha-ha reference. It's safe to assume we all understand the reality of flying.

    margin: 2px;
    float: left;

    }

    I added 'float:left' and that snapped it into shape. Since 'li' is a block-level tag (it forces a break like 'div', etc), then you can position it. In that case you can leave 'display' set to it's default value.

    Hope that helps.

    Gen Y is the 'gimme' generation. Spoiled brat bitches who've had everything handed to them, and STILL don't care.

    I know many 'solid Gen Y' people. They scare me.

    Yet we still move on somehow. Freaky. But they still scare me.

  9. Re:Umm... vision? on Arizona School Won't Use Textbooks · · Score: 1

    Pure drivel.

    Staring at any screen for any length of any time will not seriously harm anyone's vision barring those with pre-disposed vision issues (MCD, etc). The worst you will do is dry your eyes out. Blink, throw in some basic rewetting drops, and you're set. But you're not gonna claw your eyes out or anything by playing video games and reading e-books.

    Again, this does not count those already having more severe vision issues (legally blind, etc) but rather typical people with the usual near/far-sightedness.

    (pr0n will, however, always cause you to go blind, so that's a separate issue entirely).

    (ps -- you misspelled 'optometrist').

  12. Re:"Linux Finds Its Way to More Handheld Devices" on Linux Finds Its Way to More Handheld Devices · · Score: 1

    "More Handheld Devices" as in "yet another device to add to the growing pile". But I think, maybe, you were expecting the article to to be about "a new pile of devices 'here' 'here' and 'here' to add to the already existing pile".

    Fair assumption on your part, though. So perhaps the headline may have read, instead, "Linux finds its way to another handheld device".

    Citibank already has one of these. I can't use it because the card reader does not work on anything but Microsoft-flavored systems. Not even the MUSCLE card project has support for it (and it has been asked).

    The card reader I have is the USB flavor, too.

    I'm sure the other 80% of the people can use it, but I can make a good guess that very few of those 80% actually DO use it.

  17. Re:prudes on Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals? · · Score: 1

    If it's for you, then that's great. No problem. But when it comes to customer-facing work, folks, image is everything. Regardless of the decade, a clean professional image is the key. Very very very rarely (0.001% of the time) do you get a second chance to make a first impression.

    I sure as hell wouldn't trust $sales_guy if (s?)he showed up with a face full of shrapnel.

    Now once you're "in", then you can start to relax the settings and if it comes up in conversation, then you can "let your hair down" (figuratively and literally in some cases).

    Upon my initial contact with our clients, I dressed business casual, clean cut, and spoke eloquently and with firm knowledge of the matter. This established to the client that not only did I know my shit, I was able to communicate it and present that solid image.

    Shortly afterwards, I wear a nice pair of jeans, a decent polo shirt, tennis shoes, and back-in-the-day I had a beard (which I kept trimmed as best I could). Not too far along came the relaxation of language. Now that we're all comfortable around each other, and I've already established that there's no doubt that I know the subject matter, the rest is auto-pilot and I don't have to work any harder to present my knowledge base.

    If I am scheduled to meet the executive vice president or CEO of the company, then I'm donning my "A game" attire. See above for instilling confidence.

    So yeah, if you're customer-facing, clean your shit up. If you're all internal, talk it over with the peers and seniors. If you're mixed, then prepare to cover it.
