But nobody can tell me where I can find a DECENT console calendar app. Eg upto Evolution\Outlooks standards. Closest I found were uncomplete and left for dead projects on sf.net:(
I ran windows update 12 hours ago, and there was nothing to update. I read this article, and then ran windows update, and there is now 5 critical updates (4 security, 1 bug). Who here is gullible enough to belive that microsoft has found these 4 security updates in lets say the past 24 hours? some 2600 member felt like burning some bridges with his old chums at microsoft so he sent them his exploit list? Not likely. This seems to me like they are sitting on security problems like they sit on feature upgrades to bundle them all together. This makes them look to the media in general as if they are the hero's making large security improvements when the truth is there is a metric fuckload of exploits out there for windows that all the ultra clued in people have thier hands on, and if any one of those exploits where to land in the hands of microsoft it would just put put in the next SRP (security rollup package) or on windowsupdate.com when it has a few more buddies to join it there
The only way microsoft ever release a security update in a timely fashion is when somebody releases a public proof of concept or something simmilar. Oh then they get pissed off, they have to act immediatly (try 24-28 hours later) to have a patch there. In the open source comunity, and a fair chunk of the closed source comunity if a security leak is pointed out to the vendor and not the public, a patch is released to the public in a timely fashion. Microsoft do themselves alot of damage because if they dont fix thier software before it goes public, all the crackers have thier exploits for a long ass time, and if somebody goes public with an exploit thats where the script kiddies step up to the plate, they have thier 1-2 days to use thier new toy untill something is done about it.
Get him drunk. Not stoned, drunk. Half of unsocial people's problems is thierselves, the other half is other people, right? If you get him drunk, take him to a party half late, and dont just leave him there but watch him, involve him in conversations. he will be on the same level as everybody else, stupid:P his inhibitions will be lifted, so theres himself taken care of. taking him to a drunken party entails he will be like everybody else there, drunk and stupid, so theres everybody else taken care of. the rest falls into place.
Im constantly loosing my pens. Im always being yelled at for constantly loosing other peoples pens. Im also loosing my mobile phone too but I can ring that to find out where it is. Sure, one of these pens can be located, but what about the other 4?:)
and what happens when somebody asks you for a pen? do you lie and say "no sorry I dont have one", do you hand them your cpu and fixate your stare on them untill they hand it back, or do you avoid the entire situation in the first place by not having a 5 pen computer, but having a palm with a stylus? hand them the stylus, and what could be funnier then seeing a person trying to use a piece of plastic to jot down a phone number? hahahah
Is already in knoppix, check out the "cheat-codes" file, its a boot param which obviously isnt enabled by default so knoppix can run on systems with low memory
If they did it for simple mistypes, fine, I can deal with that. But if they non existant domains, it makes network testing a hell of a lot harder. For example, say im connecting to an IRC network thats having DNS problems, I dont want it trying to connect to verisigns webservers. And why let one company have a monopoly on that anyway even if it was going ahead, yea sure the.cx and.tk TLD's have crap like that, but not for.com please
I got 12 in total, but I thought it was somebody posing as Microsoft judging by where the mails came from, but by time the 11th came round I got pissed off enough to email abuse@exodus.com and abuse@register.com telling them to get thier customer to quit it or they will be hearing from me. Now here I was thinking I had scared them, but in the end they were only going to send 12:(
OpenBSD have done this. They set up a team of dev's who went through the entire code fixing up buffer overflows\underflows, and all that jazz. I hope for the worlds sake (because it seems that the whole world is using Microsoft products) that they do a good job, but in my mind it wont make me feel like Windows or IIS or any other networkable piece of Microsoft written software is secure.
Instead of painting a wall, you could just place paper thin LCD on it, use the wall as a TV or whatever floats your boat. I'd patent the idea but im a poor boy in a rich mans world.
I nearly pissed my pants after playing some of the levels in Max Payne. Having a drug dream where you are killing another person that is you because some other dudes killed your wife and baby is scary.
Not trying to troll or anything, but the Xbox's DVD playback kit has had this feature since it was out. At my work we tend to sell more PS\2's then Xboxes but if somebody has a decent TV and wants a DVD playback and gaming solution all in one we push the Xbox thier way.
At home I run the chrooted version under 3.2, and it would be good for doing a standalone, non cgi single site delio. when you start to add more vhosts and what not, you have to make sure that they are in the chroot as well. this isnt allways desireable, especially from an ISP point of view for customers sites, most ISP's I know keep thier customers sites in ~/public_html/ . But it just goes to show that openbsd's whole secure by default persona is in effect.
Its finnaly great that big companies like IBM are not only getting into the swing of writing thier own free software, but also funding other projects (like jabber). The world needs less market grabbers like Microsoft and more sharing and careing.
not many places noadays are still running NT 4.0 in that role unfortunatly. But your right, and the good thing is samba pretty much beats NT 4.0's performance on exactly the same hardware, so its nothing but gain there:P
Same way most game servers do I suppose, by employing anti-cheat technology into the game. Such things include checking for files that cheats might use, detecting how quickly it takes the clients to get a direct lock on another player, ect

I can't afford a sig!
Well atleast we now know why you cant afford one, You wasted your money on a WineX subscription
If the guy is still running a TNT2, what kinda cpu you think he has? ;)
So, does this mean that Caller-ID block now illegal, as well?
Whats the world comming to?

Thats a pretty nifty trick :) Spose it could be applied to a lot of simmilar situations couldnt it?
