I've got a lot of friends who seem to be losing money on Ebay, regularly.
I honestly don't understand it, the first place they visit is Ebay no matter what kind of purchase they're interested in.
To start with it might seem like a good deal, but I've seen lots of them pay way over retail prices in the "heat" of the auction because they don't know how to stop.
I've used ebay a few times, (only a few - my positive feedback has me listed at 4), but I've always known what my limit was.
I don't understand how somebody can be pleased they won an auction for a book at $10 when it's available from a store, or amazon, at retail for $5.99!
There must be a ton of people losing money like this..
My first thought when I saw the size of it was "Server / Router", but it is a little frustrating to see that it has only one NIC.
I guess it's overkill for a server anyway, but it'd be very sexy sat on my other machines:)
I've already got a KVM but only for PS/2 style connections, I guess that would work OK with PS and USB convertors I think I'll probably get one when they're available in the UK.
To backup MySQL databases run the following command:
mysqldump --user=root --all-databases >foo.sql
All your table definitions and data will be exported as SQL which can be importated again easily.

Debian 3.0r4 Released

The PHP issue was complex due to initially there being a lot of issues reported and ID's given which were later retracted.
All this was muddled by the PHPBB2 worm which the PHPBB people claimed for a long time was a flaw in PHP itself being exploited not a hole in their software.
Few people seemed to care to look into the situation carefully, had they done so they'd have released that woody wasn't vulnerable to several of the isses, eg these two.
My box is fine, thanks! I think it would probably cope with a real front-page link, as not much is dynamic most of the content is static or could be switched to a static version quickly if not.
I've setup a few webservers like Machinima's which have survived a/. attack before.
I'd like to get hired based upon my skills, and that's what an interview is for.
I'm merely suggesting that if somebody were to interview me and come look at my site seeing my piercings/tattoos shouldn't be something I'm worried about.
If my skills are sufficient, as presented in the interview, then if they are sufficiently unhappy with my piercings/tattoos that they wish to ignore my teamworking/programming/admin experience then it is their loss.
Not mine. At the end of the day if I'm desperate for cash I can work for a company doing a job where those things aren't relevent, where the people either don't know or don't care what's on under my clothes.
My website has images of my tattoos, graphic mentions of my body piercings, and a lot of free software.
I'm happy if people rule me out on the ground of piercings/tattoos whatever. At the end of the day the kind of environment where those things are unaceptable (no matter how discriminatory they are) I'm not going to want to work.
I think that my achievements stand on their own technical merits.
Hopefully somebody who's looking for a Debian Administrator would get in touch despite my piercings/tattoos/etc. If not no loss.
We've just saved me and them some time on each side.
Sure you could, if you had access to the firmware source code.
Of course if that were the case you'd probably be doing something else, like port some small videoplayback codec to the device to attack the problem really.
Yes Dos 2.x introduced redirection and directories - only because the '/' was already in use for command line flags they had to use '\' for seperating them.
That decision is probably the single biggest irritation I have with DOS to this day.
(Drive letters vs. mount points I'm ambivilent about - both have their pros and cons).

Amusingly it doesn't recognise it's Shell Hook:
"Microsoft.Antispyware.ShellExecuteHook.1 This is an unknown Excecute Hook.".
That's the original spelling too!
Otherwise the scan seemed to do a decent job, picked up a couple of things, but nothing serious because I'm mostly clean to start with.
Anaconda is good, but it isn't available on all 11 architectures which Debian intends to release against.
Far better to have one installer which works identically across each platform than Anaconda for x86, and other installers for other platforms.

Not if you purge a package instead of removing it.
When you remove a package you remove the binaries, but when you purge it you remove the configuration files too.
For those who like borrowing other sites layouts, or using them for "inspiration" the following site is perfect:
I've used a few of their layouts for different sites and there are a lot of good sites there - sure some dross, but suprisingly little.
Take the time to read the google guide and your searches wlil be a lot more effective in the future.

I contemplated starting something, a while back and am still fairl interested.
There are four parts to a decent anti-spyware suite:
All three parts are trivial and something pretty looking could be hacked together in a week or (much) less to do all those things.
The really hard part is building up and verifying the patterns which can be used to identify spyware - and then removing it.
(Many spyware applications nowadays use "random" keys on install so it's not even a static list).
You'd need to be prepared to have a scratch system to test spyware on - and you'd nee dto accept submissions of malware from users.
If the clamav people can do it then it's certainly possible - but it's not a simple thing to do.
People sponsoring bandwidth / hardware / cash would be a real incentive.
This was covered at The Register earlier today.
I'm suprised nobody mentioned the fake story which was inserted into the SCO homepage.
This screenshot is a mirror of the article on the SCO page.
I can think of many women who'd like a rugged black joystick ..
Perhaps you just move in different circles.
Ahh to be clear I didn't write it, but I hacked my local copy.
As for sanitization, yes. I added a filter to strip out all HTML tags not explicitly allowed, using HTML::Scrubber./p
I had a look at a lot of systems when I was setting up a Debian Administration site.
All I wanted was the ability for some users to post articles, which had to go through a moderator or two - and the ability for comments to be posted.
Slash was too heavy-weight and most of the other systems didn't fit.
I ended up hacking yawns to do the job for me.
I may revisit the choice later, but there's a big gap between slash and the less featureful systems which could be usefully filled.
Jaffa Cakes!
OK the spellings a little bit off, but still.. work with me here!

(Or add Vorbis support ;)
I wonder what this means for people who paid for it?
In the beginning winamp was free, but you could pay for extras or support. Then it went completely freely distributable.
Now I notice that there is the Winamp 5 Pro which again becomes a paid piece of software.
I've not bought it, but I wonder what people paid for. More features? Upgrades? Support?
I'm still using Winamp 2.x which works well on my work desktop - at home I'm xmms all the way - even if there are a few irritations.
That's not much different to other players having issues, apart from being non-skin related.
How on earth did you miss first.post???
That was probably the mono-filament blades used by Simon Green's Deathstalker novels.
From memory these were powered by energry crystals, much like the guns they used. I'm not sure why the power source was necessary though.
Although I'm sure I've seen the idea used elsewhere too.
Because copying CDs and DVDs is a much simpler process than copying a book.
Yes Dos 2.x introduced redirection and directories - only because the '/' was already in use for command line flags they had to use '\' for seperating them.
