Bastille really goes nuts with locking things down. It should be shipped with every release of RedMr.Hat.
RH is good for keeping systems similar, and is the currently favorite for commercial applications. Of course, no solution worth its salt would rely on one level of security, and would definitely not rely on having RH on its most outside layer - that's just asking for trouble!
Deinstall everything that's not needed, and lock down everything else. Then run Bastille. While this isn't the perfect solution, performing these tasks reduce the chance that someone will find a hole..
I specifically have my telephone listing as my first initial and last name, yet these bozos have it fully listed. I wanted some anonymity and they've taken it away. sheesh.
What's the harm and/or difficulty they (and Metallica, as it were) have with people who own copies of the media that want to share it with other owners?
I understand issues of "digital quality", but what's the real problem with that?
I still think that more than a couple of the 300,000 Metallica fans rightfully owned their own copies of the CDs already.
I would definitely look at Exodus for some of this trouble. At times, they have been less than helpful for the service level they claim they will provide.
-They changed their security policy a while ago, and neglected to tell us until after the fact. All visitors to your cage must be announced, and just try to get replacement parts in and out without a whole rigamarole. Previously, one person "on the list" could escort others in and out of the facility, but no more. Granted this makes some sense, but when we showed up the first time after they changed their policy, before informing us, we balked, and complained. The response was (I kid you not) - "Well, we're a big company now, so we can't give the same level of service we used to." WHAT KIND OF ORGANIZATION SHOOTS THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT LIKE THAT?
-Their HVAC is substandard, and they don't truly care what equipment is placed in a cage. I pity the poor sun techs who have to replace the Sun server at the bottom of a stack of 10 other machines (ie, no shelf).
-They continue to abide by their own notification procedures when their "monitoring" software reports trouble. We've gone over their policy several times with them, and verified they had correct contact information for us, and yet they still follow old ways of notification. In this case, it's paging one person instead of using the paging mechanism that contacts the actual people who will do the work - the effort is the same either way.
-The number of times that we've notified them of trouble before their monitors catch it - for example, try working with them to show DNS requests from the outside to their servers aren't being handled.
That's the way I see this - when you encounter something new, is there any harm to see if someone else's already experienced the same situation?
Think of the coding paradigm - if someone's already written a library routine that does what you want, why reinvent it?
If they rely solely on/. for legal advise, god help 'em. If it's yet another resource to make use of, why not put it to use?
Yes, it's a troll, but perhaps for this purpose

Attacking Open Source
·
· Score: 1
someone has to do the research for Jesse "my pic hasn't changed in years" Berst. How else is he going to find out about Open Source if we don't tell him?
The way ZDNet did it was to say Open Source is a failure, so we all chime in with "It's not because of "Apache, Perl...", and BAM, instant research for Jesse.
yes, they will end the series next year. My biggest complaint is that all of the characters are too similar in that they're all unique. As a whole, Star Trek writers rely far too much on this uniqueness factor and end up whacking you over the head with it - Worf is the ONLY Klingon in Starfleet...Data is the ONLY artificial lifeform, Odo was the ONLY shapeshifter with a conscience, Neelix is the ONLY Talaxian, 7 of 9 is the ONLY deborgified crewmember, Chakotay is the ONLY spiritual person, the holodoctor is the ONLY mobile hologram. Sheesh!
For end of Voyager, here's what I propose:
Have the ship return home, post haste.
Execute the entire crew for being a bunch of Whiners. Better yet, have Q force them to redo the journey all over again....and again....and again.
Save the Doctor, or replace him with Andy Dick.
Put 44 of D into a real federation uniform, and have her hook up with Commander Data. Mr. "Fully Functional" meets "assimilated cultures with more variations of the Kama Sutra than you can shake your stick at".
While I agree, it was a great machine in its day (as good as any Mac, minus the software), and I owned an A1000, and an A500 that I threw out last year. The funny thing to note is that Amigas are still used with the "Video Toaster" card on a number of cable TV stations for their ad channels. Why, just the other day I was channel surfing, and came across a "Guru Meditation" exception.
There are better devices on the market now, so I can't help but think this is all a wasted exercise.
I had some real fun playing Amiga games. Remember Impossible Mission, where there were some good digitized voices? Ah, the good old days.
It's like IE 5.0, but 1 louder

Netscape 6

I love how IE jumped versions to be a higher number in much less time - anyone ever use or even remember IE 2.x or 3.x? I don't recall ever seeing these versions...
As far as I'm concerned, *Netscape{owner} just decided to out-Microsoft Microsoft.
I believe it, no problems. And Cloned Monkeys may fly out of my butt. What does hurled, cloned monkey crap smell like, anyway? So whaddya eventually get when you set an infinite number of monkeys banging away at typewriters? The photocopied works of Shakespeare? I'm guessing that Monkeys are closer to some other worthless mammal which are 'impossible' to clone because they're too complex... Any clues? Old news, apparently.
Slashdot Mirror
apparently NCube shifted focus to multimedia streaming, or something else.
Are they still in business? Ah, yes, they still do

I would almost kill for a copy!
My favorite part of the multiplayer experience was the buy/sell screen!

Everyone chasing a silver ball, violence on motorcycles, and more!
He's got an instrumental song that's beat is driven by dot matrix printers.
I can't remember which song, nor which album it's on, but it's definitely worth a listen.
We know it's not the answer to everything.
You should know by now that we shoot the things we don't like, and fsck the things we do. Simple as that!

Of Course, Paul Reubens is the natural choice for Taylor.
For music: None other than Danny Elfman!
Imagine the human hunt scene with PWBA music -
daaa daaa daaa daaa
dadadada daa
dadadada
dadadada
daaa daaa daaa daaaa
AAAAAHHH! MR. MONKEY!!!!!
(there, I now remove the music from my head and download it to someone else's, whosoever may read this!)
Imagine:
In the courtroom scene:
"I know you're a monkey, but what am I?"
Dustin Hoffman as Sewer Urchin!
Leonardo Decraprio as Arthur, just so he can get the ego beaten out of him! Not in the face, Not in the Face!
It'd be great if Sam Raimi produced this. He'd give it the right sort of campiness and such, just like Xena's become.
Before anyone else sez anything, you can't even get LinuxMandrake 6.5 online. The appear to have bypassed it for the online crowd. What gives?
Unless I've not found the proper link, I haven't found any reference to RH-Mandrake diffs other than to say Mandrake's better.
I purchased Mandrake 6.5 recently, and after seeing the Redhat 6.1 distribution's default installation, I'm not so sure it's an improvement
IIRC, they say it's 'enhancements' to RH 6.1, but it doesn't look like it.
What really is different, other than saying it is different, anyway? I'd like to see a written document somewhere that lists why Mandrake is better.
At present, I'm gonna try RH 6.1, and see if I can determine a difference.
I believe it, no problems. And Cloned Monkeys may fly out of my butt. What does hurled, cloned monkey crap smell like, anyway? So whaddya eventually get when you set an infinite number of monkeys banging away at typewriters? The photocopied works of Shakespeare? I'm guessing that Monkeys are closer to some other worthless mammal which are 'impossible' to clone because they're too complex... Any clues? Old news, apparently.
I've used Mandrake 6.5, and it didn't even notice when I changed mice from a normal wheelmousie.
I'll definitely have to try out the USB connector, though.
So much smoother than regular meeses
Champagne at home, baby! Wooo Hoo!
Aside from that, by the time el An~o Nuevo hit our area, The Zealanders and Strailians were still alive and kicking.
No Worries, mate.
