    Sure you can, but Doñana National Park is very well protected and has only some access points wich are somewhat controlled. you cannot get into the park with a car unless you carry a permit.

    The only easy access I know is through the beach, from a tourist town, and it could take you some time as it is a very big park.

    Here you can have a look to a satellite photo of that area. The park, is on the right of the river, in which the photo, by the way, is heading south. Here you can see one which is not upside down.

  5. you mean BIG? on Spanish Internet Provider's SMTP traffic Blocked · · Score: -1, Interesting
    Telefonica connects about 1500000 clients to the internet. You mean 419 spams out of all those clients, if not more, is worth blocking a whole country?
    Then we should block the US too. I receive way too much spam about things I have not ever heard about. What are all those medicines I receive in zillions spam emails? Oh, wait, those are US names for US medicines... right? Does anybody buy any of those?:-P

    Yeah, I should block emails comming from everywhere!!!

  6. intended for non-debian providers on Debian World Domination Plan · · Score: 4, Informative

    IIRC It was originally intended to convert a redhat installation in a server where the provider would only install redhat.

  7. Debian take over on Depenguinator "Upgrades" Linux to BSD · · Score: 1

    Have a look at this: DebianTakeOver, a script that a debian developer is creating to migrate a Colo server from redhat to debian.

  10. What comes first? on Kernel Exploit Cause Of Debian Compromise · · Score: 2, Interesting
    The patch is from 9 weeks ago... I wonder if the exploit writer got the idea from looking at the kernel changelog...
    That's something I've always been thinking about. Do crackers follow security announcements and changelogs and stuff like that to make exploits or are the patches made because of a cracker that discovered a vulnerability and used it to crack a box? Are there any stats about this? Any info?

    Well, the most logical timezone to apply in space, I believe, would be GMT, kind of standard.
    The military people use it when they talk about zulu time, right?, That would be common sense. But, maybe what people at NASA, ESA, or the russian agency think might the other way around!

    Haven't you ever heard of human clonning? Forget Dolly, and the scientists who made that clone possible. Those 3 companies have the key to human clonning...

    You can find a list of sites closed at this link but I suppose many more closed on Ago 27th.

    Of course /. will be down.

    Are they going to make a link to themselves, so they get slashdotted tomorrow?
  17. Re:I see whitespace is still syntactically relevan on Python 2.3 Final Released · · Score: 2, Informative
    Well, It is said in the linux source code documentation. I know, it's C, but it simply says in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/CodingStyle:
    [...]
    Rationale: The whole idea behind indentation is to clearly define where
    a block of control starts and ends. Especially when you've been looking
    at your screen for 20 straight hours, you'll find it a lot easier to see
    how the indentation works if you have large indentations.

    Now, some people will claim that having 8-character indentations makes
    the code move too far to the right, and makes it hard to read on a
    80-character terminal screen. The answer to that is that if you need
    more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway, and should fix
    your program.
    [...]

    So, listen to the masters ;-). I suppose this piece of advice is worth noting in python too, well, at least the force indentation...

    Looks like they are overclocking their own chips. Maybe they should sell them with a bigger fan on them... ;-)

  21. Re:Obvious, but... on The NoCat Wireless Access Point/Night Light · · Score: 1
    A workaround, I suppose would be to have a relay in the unit capable of switching the light on and off via network control, X10, or similar while the actual circut remains operational. That would be a likely needed feature on any commercial unit.

    Or some kind of day light sensor that switchs on and off the light while the AP keeps powered all the time...

    you farted in front of that electronic nose? Would it detect any kind of stomach cancer or would it suggest you to stop eating tasty food?

    I've used OS/2 for nearly 7 years, and believe me, It crashed often (but not as often as win9x though). It had some sort of problem with the message queue that usually ended up in WPS frozen.
