    I have several cf-to-ide adapters by pc engines and they all work with dma. Of course, these are also the same guys that make the "WRAP" boards, so maybe they know what they are doing.

  4. Mikrotik's RouterOS on Firewall Recommendations? · · Score: 2, Informative

    RouterOS is linux based with a very nice console interface as well as a windows client.

    It does all the usual linux fw stuff, as well as traffic shaping, connection rate limiting, traffic identification, rip/ospf/bgp, vpns, lots more.

    Unique features include a scripting host and cron-jobs. Very cool, indeed.

    They also make their own hardware (expandable sbc's, wifi) with their routeros embedded in flash.

  5. Re:ZABBIX on Best OSS Systems Mgmt App You Never Heard Of · · Score: 2, Informative

    it's also not a huge gob of python like zenoss which requires at least 512 megs of ram to run and do something useful.

    zabbix server and clients are written in C, with php for the web front-end. It has it's quirks and shortcomings, but I'll take simple and lightweight over bloaty probably-can't-scale-worth-a-damn any day.

  8. railroad diagrams ... on IT Reference Posters? · · Score: 1

    anyone know where to get sql (oracle, pgsql, mysql, etc) railroad diagrams?

    having to jump between db's can be a pain in the arse, but something like a rr diag would make this a lot easier.

    although in a ms access kind of world, i guess these wouldn't be too popular anymore.

  9. clear epoxy on Replacing the Housing on Your Flash Drive? · · Score: 4, Informative

    the casing on one of my flash/thumb/pen/whatever drives was just stupidly big for no good reason, so I took it off. To protect it I just got some clear 5 minute epoxy and layered it on there and just kept turning the the drive while it cured.

    You can also put a lanyard hole in a dead space on the board or epoxy something in there and hang it on your keychange. It's working quite well for me.

  10. Re:Why do you put up with this shit? on Microsoft Deal Limits Verizon MP3 Phones · · Score: 3, Informative

    "It's not that one system is better - ours works well for the US consumer based on their phone use habits."

    no, more like the phone companies here know how far they can turn the screws on their customers before too many customers will leave. And they're always looking for more screws to turn. Verizon is probably the most notorious. /me glances at his moto v710 with crippled bluetooth

  11. Re:huh? on XGL Development Opens Up · · Score: 1

    quote:
    I googled around for it. It seems to be an openGL based X server. I know of a large HMI development project running at the moment which may wind up deploying on windows (as opposed to Linux) due to the faster OpenGL implementation under windows.

    Something like this could tip the balance. /quote

    Well then, dare I say those considering Windows should take a look at what Vista does with OpenGL. Namely, how it does away with it and emulates it by converting OGL to Direct3d.

    Now, seeing as how nvidia drivers for linux are on par with their windows counterparts I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions.

  15. Re:No way on Is Zigbee the Next Bluetooth? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    interesting. i'm involved with a project right now which is based around moving "tags", if you will. We are fairly sure zigbee (or something quite similar) is the way to go, and have spoken with multiple companies whose engineers think this is doable with a little coding.

    we're not in need of realtime data, a few minutes between samplings will do, but we do have a rather high tag number (thousands) requirement.

  16. Re:Naturally? on Is Zigbee the Next Bluetooth? · · Score: 1

    then again, existing protocols have things like existing code, libraries, api's, references, and oh yes, people that already know them.

    and not all zigbee stacks are monolithic. it is possible to use just what you need. if your vendor says it can't be done, look for another.

  17. Am I the only one that sees the irony here? on Students Banned from Blogging · · Score: 2, Insightful
    let's see. A Catholic institution makes a big hurrah about 'saving the children' from external (internet) predators.

    The last time I checked, the catholic church is far more interested protecting it's predatory clergy than any children. And when confronted about such abuses and the ensuing coverups, the catholic church does what any major corrupt organisation would do: deny it, call them isolated incidents, white wash it, boldly lie about it, and most of all, refuse to do anything about it (not necessarily in that order).

  18. Not just for school chums on Note-taking Software for Unix? · · Score: 1
    I'm not in school anymore, but I'm always in need of such a program, as I do not posses a photographic memory.

    I build and maintain networks, and whatever else happens to need doing network or computer wise. I don't do the same thing day in, day out. A good part of my working hours are spent just-in-time learning, so I can finish the job at hand. And tomorrow, it'll be something else. Notes for me are a necessity.

    As such, my laptop goes where ever I go. It's also been my experience that paper doesn't travel well via email, it's a bitch to backup, handwriting styles and quality vary greatly, and it's very imprecise ( hmmn, is that a dot, a comma, or just a glob of ink? )

    i ran across these guys http://laplocker.com/ on the mac hardware site a week or two ago. supposedly, you can lock a laptop down with it without having to drill holes and such.
