    Yes, but ports open on an OS should be optional. It shouldn't **require** certain ports to be open, a la 135-139.

  7. Re:10x as long.. does he type with a straw.. on Critical Eye on SpamAssassin · · Score: 1

    Linux might take slightly longer to set up, but it requires less work to look after it from then on. Still, click your setup.exes, and then patch your boxes for the rest of your life. Up to you.

    gunzip spammassassin.gz && tar -xf spamassassin.tar

    Do people still do this? There's a really handy z option on tar now. (And a j for bzip2)
    Why not go the whole hog and gunzip to stdout, and pipe it through tar, and redirect to a file? :)

    Yep, if I was to mod this, I'd get a spare machine, and spend an hour of so installing Redhat on it to check the version of SA. What do you what, +1 Absolutely-And-Positively-Accurate?

    No, don't turn it off. Moan at the brain dead idiots that run OSs that don't support it. See the notice on www.kernel.org for more info.

  12. Re:Worst Record Keeping on Web Pages Are Weak Links in the Chain of Knowledge · · Score: 1

    When I write something I often simply refer the reader to Google. e.g:

    Jabber is good as an IM technology as it supports SSL, and GPG, it is decentralised, and open.

    This was the reader can peruse all the **current** available info about Jabber, as well as seeing any criticisms that people have written too.

  13. Sign, sign, sign, sign. on Debian Project Servers Compromised · · Score: 4, Insightful

    .debs should be gpg signed, and should fail to install if the verification fails. In fact, so should all packages from distros. Redhat, +1, Already doing it. -1, not failing to install if the packages don't verify.

  14. Re:Rock on! on PostgreSQL 7.4 Released · · Score: 1

    OK, OK :) I did say differently named though, in my defence. I know I should give it a go - I don't do a great deal with SQL that would require Postgres, but I feel I should learn it.

  17. Re:Rock on! on PostgreSQL 7.4 Released · · Score: 1

    I'll try those for sure. I really want to see what I think of postgresql, but I can't be arsed with those long commands to create tables. Also, the variable types are differently named from MySQL ones, so it would be pretty tricky.

  18. PGPFone. on Encrypted Cell Phone Hits the Market · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can download PGPFone for free or do what I did involving cat'ing dsp through the stdin of gpg, and into netcat, and the reverse at the other end. Can't remember the exact switches - man gpg, and man nc.

    And isn't that the sad thing? That guy has soooo much money, and yet he doesn't do anything wild with it, just for the hell of it.

    I'd be buying all kinds of stuff. If I didn't spend 2m a day, I'd be doing something wrong. I'd live a wild lifestyle. I'd give small fortunes to random people for no reason. I'd buy huge lasers cannons, small islands, and lots of "escort" companions. I'd have wild orgies, and massive parties. I'd leave first class tickets at every airport in the world, and just let random people pick them up and fly out to visit me. I'd travel all around the world. Shit, there's so much I would (and will!) do with billions.

  20. Re:Rock on! on PostgreSQL 7.4 Released · · Score: 1

    Yep, I agree completely. I tried installing postgres recently, and just couldn't be bothered to try and work out what it was doing. I prefer to manage my databases and tables with Webmin, which is the only thing I use webmin for, and the Postgres support for that is no-where near good enough.
