Well, I use plain old vanilla PPPD and all I had to do was add a line to/etc/ppp/options: +ua/etc/ppp/login And then create a file called/etc/ppp/login which contained 2 lines. First was the username, second the password.
I can't think of any system that isn't potentially trackable.

And anyway, what if they do get my details? They know I eat pizza, so they give me pizza.. If I get cheaper/free pizza, I win..
The brits don't have a say in this. This is a referrendum put to the people of australia, voting whether or not to amend the constitution. By amending the constitution, we would infact be removing any power that the brits had, no longer recognising that we are a monarchy. If anything is going to be done about it, it better be done soon, the referendum is in 48 days, and if a yes vote is passed, that will be it for the brits. PS. Vote YES to a republic! http://www.republic.org.au/ PPS. If her royal highness has a problem with us becoming a republic (its inevitable), she can feel free to drop into my house, I'll kick her geriatric ass for ghandi and canada too.
Buffer Overflows are a result of a lack of bounds checking. This is a logic error. Logic errors are the one hardest error to detect in programming. The reason there are so many buffer overflows are because when you program, you dont necessarily take into account that there is one million ways someone could try to create a security hole with your code. You could audit software once, but it's not going to stay secure, because with updates comes more holes. And that's why companies like redhat keep releasing updates. Software gets updated periodically, and with that comes new holes to be found. If distributions were to check all the code pre-release rather than relying on the author(s), they would all be released with considerably dated software. Unfortunately, its a way of life.
Neither could Solaris.. that is why the hotmail server architecture is distributed. There's a large chance that this is true.. MS would love for it to run on a system they created (and understand).. and it would be great advertising.
Other way around. Satan sold out to MS like everyone else. But why not? he gets his own homepage and free copy of win2k.. and best of all, he gets to change his name to SatanMSN
I have never heard of the scheme you just mentioned. AOL communications between the client and the AOL gateway (that provides the information for the AOL online service client) do not use TCP/IP, but rather their own protocol, which is why you are required in windows to install the fancy drivers for it. Connections to the 'real world' from there go from client -> gateway -> destination server. The gateway addresses are indeed random and issued on a one per connection basis. These are, however, not IPs assigned to the individual clients, but proxies which deliver the information to the client. The distinction here is that the client does not 'own' the address, rather it makes a request to it. This would be quite simple to log, as you would assume the proxy would know and record the username.
On the other hand, there is also a large chance that the AOL user established a PPP connection. This is a popular way for AOL users to connect, because it gives them an exclusive IP address. This allows full access, rather than having to use proxy servers, and limited on the services that may be used. In this case, the IP remains the same throughout the session, and could also easily be logged.
I don't understand his replies at all. I am a bit shady on whether or not X is the GUI, and KDE, etc the window managers, or whether the window managers themselves should be termed GUI, but regardless, there is a hell of a lot more out there than just KDE and GNOME. When he says that 'we' are releasing those with linux, he must be referring to a distribution. In which case, which? Sounds extremely biased to me, unless it was a reporting error (the rest of the interview was unimpressive too..)
I do the DJing for a show on a christian community radio station ( Fish FM) here in Australia. While I don't see that any FCC decision will affect me in any way, I have had first-hand experience with quite amateurish radio equipment. Fish FM shares a community band (currently has no license, but is expecting to be awarded one in the next few weeks) and transmits 70 watts. For this, Fish has to host a transmitter on a ridge (extremely expensive), transmit from the studio to it with a link transmitter (another expensive device). Not to mention the cost of the board, the compressor, the equipment, etc etc etc.
I don't see how, without experience and money, the average joe public could create a successful radio station, especially considering every other interested joe p. would be attempting the same thing.
I personally am interested in using the technology for wireless communication. The lack of discussion on this point has made me wonder whether it is somehow unrelated to the FCC business (not the impression I got). I would like to walk around the house with my laptop, and stay connected to my network. In fact, I would like to also take it outside, maybe down to the lake (a few hundred metres from my house).
Any comments on why licensing for broadcasting for lower power transmitters is particularly useful?
I got an ISO of an 'evaluation' S.u.S.E distribution from their FTP site. I assume it means it is a selection of software from their commercial product, fitting on one CD.. it seems to be good stuff, and most of the rest can just be downloaded and burned onto other CDs, I believe.
I thought (at least here in Australia, anyway) that GE was either bought out, or bought a heap of companies out, and is now known as LG? On the other hand, I probabely have no idea what im talking about.
I am paying ~$2,000 a year ($170/month) for their cable service. It delivers well over 1Mbps and I get 500mb free a month. After that it is around 21c per megabyte. I only pay downstream, as well. I have no bitches whatsoever about that.
I'm not entirely sure, but if you install a line these days, I think you can either pay $11 per month and have 25c calls, or a bit more for 20c calls (thats minus phone rental).
It's nice to see all these graphical representations of SETI, but to the ordinary person, these frequencies, waves, gaussians(sp?), spikes, etc etc etc mean little. I'm more interested in project stats rather than an analysis of the data being crunched. One thing I especially like about rc5 is the amount of information about the project available. This is the sort of stuff I understand.
OzEmail has had IP@T (Internet Public Access Terminals) in clubs, centres, and coach 'interchanges' for years. The price is pretty high though. Been at least a year since I used one, I don't know what the price is like nowadays.
Not necessarily. For starters, the traffic light IP idea is a concept, to illustrate their point about how many IP addresses will be available, and their usefulness. A coke machine could dial into a coke dialup, be given an IP address, and submit stock information. This doesn't mean it can necessarily be hacked, as it would probabely be firewalled, and just because it has an IP address doesn't mean it can do anything but, say, transmit this information across the network.
Much in the same way, a traffic light could be assigned an IP address, and have a chip which is powered by the same supply as the traffic lights, which responds to ICMP ping requests on the network. That way, the traffic lights can be monitored, while the chip does not interface directly with the lights. The chip could also read the state of the lights, without being able to modify it.
I don't use Redhat, but thats just as irrelevant as people who whinge that they don't like Redhat. How could you possibly complain about a company that gives OSS coders incentives to continue work? Redhat is doing an awful lot for the Linux community, and putting their money where their mouth is.. they support the OSS movement, Linux, and at the same time, are building a strong company to back it (and not control it, as some say - their source is still as free as everyone else's).

That statement is totally false.
Why is the web so popular? because its the most marketable part of the internet (along with email).
The people who want to make money from the internet are the ones who influence people to believe what you just said.
