My set up:
postfix as the MTA.
Courier IMAP to provide IMAP.
I actually tunnel my IMAP connection over an href="http://www.openssh.com">OpenSSH connection, but courier IMAP supports SSL as well.
The guy that writes Courier, also writes SqWebMail,(webmail) and maildrop(pleasent
alternative to procmail) which I have found to
be useful.
FWIW I use mutt as my mail client.
I don't know, it seems like a phase that many go through on the way to geekdom. Personally I fucked around with MUDs. I poked and prodded, 'cheated'. Later I found out that I could come up with better cheats if I looked at the source code and learning C. And finally I decided that actually writing MUD code was the most rewarding.
You see this pattern alot, whether it be writing cheats, cracking systems, defacing webpages.
That is a dangerous assumption. Nowadays with the growth of broadband and always on connections, its important that all machines are secure.
In fact I would say that since desktop machines are administered as well or as closely as server machines, its more necessary to have easy ways to secure it.
Many insecure desktop machines are used to cover the tracks of crackers, as well as to launch DDoS attacks.
Just like to mention that an alternative to copyrights is the Street Performer Protocol by Bruce Schneier. He predicted the advent of systems like this and offers up a partial solution.
I haven't seen anyone really take a stab at setting it up yet though.
Whee! Lets just be an ignorant troll that can't be bothered to read the article! The article says that your trusted Sm@rt Reseller got their unbiased statistics from Netcraft.
Its short enough. Anyway, the article does not mention any suits, contrary to what everyone is posting. It just says there was an attorney general investigation, and nintendo is offering gloves.
Since you don't know what the pad is the encrypted text can 'decrypt' to any given plaintext if you are guessing the pad. So brute forcing will give you all possible plaintexts, not much help.
Everyone has selfish motives. That's what drives the economy and production, in turn making it better for everyone else. Freshman econ, Adam Smith and the invisible hand. Go read about it.
Obviously your server architecture should be driven by your expected load, but you should also design your app for scalability(meaning you can add boxen easily).
For the companies I typically work for its split into a static image server, a couple apache/modperl servers, a big database box, and possibly middleware box(en) for caching data. Add a sendmail box if you expect heavy email traffic. Possibly an admin box on a VNC.
But again this design is for a biggish site. Sometimes just two boxen (apache on one and database on the other) will do just fine. I would try to avoid putting them on the same box just for security.
Colocation seems like the way to go, you get control of your own machines, but won't have to worry about power and pipes. This may be colored by the bad experience I've had with one of those full service type shops.
Backup: What else am I gonna say? Backup to tape daily, with off and onsite redundancy. You may just have to back up your database daily(if all your content lives there), and just be ready to rebuild your web server if it goes south.
Does anyone else think that it would be better either to make a patent section on Slashdot, or start a seperate protest website for this stuff?
It seems like the same stuff gets rehashed on a daily basis with this patent stuff, along with 'i've patented pooping, everyone has to let me watch them poop' posts.
7) Someone claiming to be you starts roaming the Web making wild claims. You want to make sure people know it isn't really you.
By now, most of you have probably seen the incredibly virulent 'I kiss you' page. The interesting thing is that the page was an unauthorized copy of one from Turkey, and it ended up getting over a million hits in 3 days. Mahir's strange story is here .
Take a look at the subject of this news story. 'IDG and 'Trademark Dilution' For Dummies'. And this is alot more like a chat room than the mailing list.
I've always found it odd that people go to search engines looking for other search engines. Apparently yahoo is one of the most common search terms. If you do the monitor what people are asking on Ask Jeeves, you do notice alot of 'How do I get to the Internet site Yahoo!?'
Indexing: granted, but search engines are getting smarter, and the web itself seems to tend to organize itself knowledge centers.
Scope: I actually think this is why I prefer it over an encyclopedia. I like to able to determine how much I want to know about a subject. Sometimes I want just a nice brief summary, sometimes I want to dive in and know everything about it.
Sources: Granted that most of the web is full of crap, rumour and hearsay and I am not stating that everything on the web is as authoritative as an encyclopedia. What I do say is that along with all the crap out there, you can find primary sources, or trusted secondary sources. For instance I just did a google search on ballistics for the hell of it, and I got back some damn good pages on ballistics.
Doesn't it seem like that encylopedia's are an outdated way to store information? I feel that the web as a whole has replaced the encyclopedia as the ultimate compendium of knowledge.
I don't even remember the last time I used the encyclopedia, rather that doing a google(or before that altavista) search.
The 'circle of arts and science' has effectively become a 'network of everthing.'
Actually the 'whole point' of the Nobel prize was so that Nobel could be sure that when he died he would be known as more that the dude that invented dynamite.
Actually, I find this the most annoying thing about the linux/google search. I will almost always get a slashdot thread, an howto reference, or an rpm reference. If I use the regular google search with along with linux as a search term I will usually get what I want(the authoritative homepage). For instance, try: wine, ALSA, NTFS.
What about this? Everyone can 'moderate' all the time, by moderation I mean rank the comment on a 0-5 basis. When slashdot displays the comments it uses collabrative filtering to sort the comments by preferance level.
This means you see posts that other people similar to you liked. Presumably, you would not get the flame posting that noone liked(unless you were the first few people to read it).
Of course the big problems(that I see) with this solution are:
1. You would have to be logged in(and have ranked other comments) to read ranked comments.
2. Ranking burnout, people probably won't want to rank every post they read, but for this to be succesful, that what would have to happen.
3. Not a 'real' solution to the DOS attacks.
Sorry if this was already suggested, but I didn't have enough time to look at all the posts in the 3 topics and the poll.
"transplant" wn "WordNet (r) 1.6" transplant n 1: (surgery) tissue or organ transplanted from a donor to a recipient; in some cases the patient can be both donor and recipient [syn: {graft}] another (the recipient) [syn: {transplantation}] [syn: {transplanting}]
Looks like its what you take from the donor given to the recipient. Since most people would argee that identity resides in the brain, you are really giving a body to the recipient. So I would say body transplant.
I remap caps to ctrl, use ctrl-h. oh and dvorak layout. haven't tried control-[, but it something i'll try. I'm not sure that i'm all that much more efficent, but at least noone can type at my console:)

Notice that jeopardy emphasized the free beer aspect rather than the free speech.
Just a random observation on a random story.
yes i'm a dumbass.
