This will slow down your surfing to a crawl as your browser will sometimes try to connect to adserver repeatedly first before loading the actual page. A better solution is just to drop all outgoing packets to adserver, works really well for me.
How much of current network traffic (data/voice) are really just protocol? I mean all the way down to physical layer (yes, the 1 and 0's). Seems like every layer of abstraction tags a protocol header on to the real payload. Is there any study done in this? I won't be surprised if more than 50% of network traffic are just protocols (IP headers, TCP signals, SONET header or even CRC bits).
Well, I'm going back to university this fall and recently reactivated my dormant e-mail account. To my horror, the email address must have been listed on every known spam list. Hey, the internet was much more innocent when I was in university, so I didn't take any precaution during those good ol' days.
Usually, I don't mind getting spam on my (insert your favourite free web-mail here), but my university email account is something personal. So, armed with whois command, I started complaining up and down, around the world's ISPs. My question is: Has anyone done this? Any success/dismay stories?
I know I can install a spam filter on my email client, but I prefer to have the email stored on university's mail server. That way I can ssh from anywhere and read my email (pine) and newsgroup(tin), ah.. the nostalgia..
If they have no resale value, they you could buy a used diamond very cheaply and get a jeweler to put it in a new setting for you, and that would kill the market for new diamonds. They don't wear out, of course. "Diamonds are forever" and all that.
Actually, diamonds aren't forever. They're unstable form of graphite. Under normal room temperature and pressure, they'll turn into graphite. Sure, the process will take millions of years but technically they aren't forever. That's what I remember from first year chemistry class, any chemistry major cares to back this up?
RH does install the drivers, but if you don't cofigure it with DHCP you have to enter IP addresses for you machine, your network, your broadcast and your DNS.
Not true, at least not with RH 7.3. It comes with dhcp setup if you so desired.
On this issue, does anyone have success using xmame? Is there any support/forum out there? I've downloaded the rpm and installed it on my RH7.3 system. When I run it, everything runs OK but there is no display, nothing pops up.. any suggestion?
Just a quick question: I've been trying to get kvirc to run on my rh7.3 and it seems to require older kdelibs. How do you get around this, since you mentioned you're also using KDE 3.
This reminds me of the pool we used to have in my University. At the beginning of every fall semester, one of the campus newspaper will have this Dead Celebrity pool. If the person you pick died during the school year, you get some points. Of course there are some rules for this pool such as:
- If you kill the person you listed, you will not get any points, but everyone else will.
- Elvis is dead for the purpose of this pool.
- If you want to list Elvis, you have to prove that the king is alive and then subsequently died during the school year.
Of course some (used to be) favourites are:
Queen's mother, Dave Thomas, Mother Theresa, etc..
It happened to me a few months ago as well. My
power supply went out with a loud POOP sound. funny thing is my computer isn't even turned on at that time.
My RAM somehow survived, everything else was toasted (MB, Video, Floppy, CD, CD-RW, eth, etc..)
A little bit off topic here, but does anyone know if OO support printing to envelope. I've found that OO does support printing label, but can't seem to find printing to envelope.
A little bit from personal experience using OO, when I tried to open my resume from Word2K format, it barfs. Abiword and Koffice managed to open the document, albeit not looking "right". So I tried to save my resume as Word97 format, and this time OO managed to open it and looks closest as it is when opened with MS Word. Now if there is a way to get rid of the "header" at the beginning of the document, I'll be very happy. My other question is whether there is a common document format between Abiword, Koffice and OO? I know there is RTF, but i'm looking for something with more "features".

Why, M$ of course.
As a side note, I believe RedHat broke even as well.

Where's the Maniac Mansion sequel or Zak Mckraken and the Alien Mindbenders part deux? Now, those are classics ..
