I explained it badly. Like I said to another person who replied me, it just takes down the one workstation who went on google maps. We can still ssh, gaim connections are still working, etc etc. Only things "web" related stop working. wget times out, browser times out, etc etc. Really strange yes, but it really only happens when we browse to google maps which is a bugger as we really love their interface.
Yep sorry, it really just mess up http request for the affected workstation, not the whole network and not every services.
And it doesn't mess up he whole company network, just the workstation who went on google maps. It just happen to do this whith any of our workstation (well, they all run SuSE 9.2, same konqueror, same firefox).
But for this reason, I can't suspect the browser or our routers/firewall. A quick reboot of the workstation also fixes the probem everytime so it is really a problem on the workstation.
What is strange is that when this occurs, I can still ssh to other boxes, I can still ping google.com etc etc, my kopete connections are still working, etc etc. I just can't do anything "web" related. wget times out, browser times out, etc, etc. I will try it at home tonight using my Mandrake installation to see if I can reproduce it there.
I should submit this to them, and I will, but there is a really strange bug occuring to us at work when using google maps. We are all using SuSE 9.2 and whenever someone goes on google maps, it can no longer make http request anywhere. It litterally kill our net connection.
It does this for every workstation, using firefox or konqueror so it really is a bug with their website, but I fail to understand what is causing this. Anyone else noticed this?
I come from Abitibi in Quebec, which is kind of up north. You are right when you say that it is not the same as Antartica but I'll tell you what. If it's the conditions which gets you in Antartica, well in northern canada it's the f*cking moskitos!
For those who did not get it, a "whis" would be the sound of the wheel of the phone rotating and the "k-k-k..." would be the pulse made by the phone. So "Whis" = dude turned the phone wheel "k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k" = a nine has been dialed, etc etc...
Yes, I am a french speaking canadian from Montréal and we would say "j'vais prendre le char ce soir". "J'vais" is just a diminutive for "je vais", just like "I'm" is a diminutive for "I am".
By definition : fair = good and unfair = bad, right?
We could say that fair tend to be good to the infinite and that unfair tends to bad minus infinite, right?
So if I understand your sig, you say that the trick is to do anything possible so your life tends to be infinitly bad? Wouldn't the trick be to make it more unfair towards other, so to make it fair for you (assuming that there is a finite suply of fairness that is).
I was just wondering... I was trying to take a break from my calculus homeworks;)
Maybe because you disabled cookies, so it keep on redirecting you between each pages... Did the same thing to me on MSN using Moz with cookie disabled. Enabling them for session only corrected the problem.
Ain't this what we usually call drivers or am I misunderstanding your idea?
Because right now the problem isn't really (or only) that we do not have proper gui to support hardware (or should I say to support users) but really that not all hardware have linux drivers.
Your idea sounds ok, but when you say "Their drivers are just modules in this control center." you forget that this is only the visual part of the story. On the other part, the system need to know how to talk to said hardware, what feature it can use etc etc, and this is really what a driver do.
For example, there is many sound card out there, but everyone of them has different set of features. In order to be able to use my Audiophile 2496 I need and interface (a driver) which will "route" my date thru it and let me access its fonctionality.
I think that a universal control center may be a nice thing to have in the future, maybe not, but for now I would really like to just have drivers for all the hardware I have.
Sorry if this sounded pedantic, I don't know how much you already know about all this!:-)
That was the point I was trying to make. I did not realized they had said square meters but you are rigth that it is a bogus claim.
But anyway, the point is that althougth Chernobyl was a very sad event, there had been worse nuclear "events" and things worse then that happens daily on a large scale. I was just trying to expose a valid comparison for those scared of nuclear power (dispite the square meter thing;) ).
I just read this and here is the paragraph for those interested :
"The accident released about as much radiation as one atmospheric nuclear test," Jackson notes. "Think of Chernobyl, which exuded hundreds of thousands of square meters of radioactive gas into the atmosphere. Think of all the hundreds of atmospheric tests, and think about the next breath you inhale. How many bits of Hiroshima, and Chernobyl, and Nagasaki you are inhaling each time you breathe in."
I think it speaks for itself...
P.S.: Is it ok to copy a paragraph from a copyrighted article if I reference it?
I live in Quebec and my father lives up north in abitibi. He is a river kayak enthusiast and has been looking for a while for a software which could help him trace route (no pun) that he could navigate on acros the province (and north Ontario also).
Is there any software or gadget which does the same thing as an in car gps unit (displaying roads on it or printing maps) but for lakes and rivers? Anf if something like this exist, do maps exists to feed to it also?
Im not really into those things, thats why I ask... Thanks!
That's an opinion and it's ok. But I personally prefer to live with the annoying side effects of billions of years of evolution then to live with the annoying side effects of a couple of years of "research" on my brain.

Even with its current state, it does have some uses.

Because they don't just suck, also swallow...

Hardware makers could develop modules
:-)

When the dot com bubble was very inflated, it was "The Internet". Since the burst, the name has deflated and is now known only as "the internet".
I am canadian, could you enumerate me which freedom you have in the US that I do not have please?
