I do IP MASQUERADING. I get only 1 ip address from my provider. I've got a wireless webcam, a zaurus wireless pda, company assigned laptop, my linux development desktop computer, my Apple G3 running LinuxPPC (my gateway, web, imap server), My oldest son't room with a Linux based AMD 64bit server, a mini mac, a sharp zaurus, my 2 youngest boys room and thier computer and a laptop up in thier room, my hombrew robot, a hacked compaq IA-1 that runs linux that I use to monitor my firewall, email, etc.. All these devices get to the outside world on 1 ip address. I have multiple servers that are accessed by the outside world via port redirection as well.
That was a lovely story, but you could have just said, "I use NAT and port forwarding."
Also, what's the difference between IP masquerading and IP MASQUERADING? Is the latter more l33t?
From my professional experience setting up a "secure" windows environment -- there is a LOT of use of filemon, regmon and other tools...
Damn right. I work at a University and my job every summer is to produce or update the Windows build for the computing labs.
This comprises nearly 200 pieces of software, all of which has to run correctly under a student account, all of which authenticate as a member of the Guests group on the lab machines.
It's a nightmare job to do - I love it though. But, it would be made a hell of a lot easier if I didn't have to piss about with relaxing security on areas of the filesystem and registry when that information could just as easily be stored in the user profile or under HKCU. Grrr.
Oh, and programs that don't work after using sysprep. They suck too...
He's talking about managin IDs on networked systems. Not standalone.
And your point is?
I worked at a facility when they implemented Active Directory, and re-implemented Active Directory, and re-re-implemented Active directory, and re-re-re-implemented Active Directory. Eventually some contractors came around to each system that was dorqued and fixed it, sort of. They had to get help from both us contractors, and the local systems guy.
Then it wasn't implemented correctly in the first place. Just because it's Windows (and therefore largely point-and-click) doesn't mean that it's easy to implement a large infrastructure with it. You have to know what you're doing, and clearly whoever implemented yours didn't - otherwise why did they need the external contractors? As for the contractors needing help - they probably didn't know what they were doing either...
I work at a institution that migrated from a Windows NT4 domain to a Windows 2003 Active Directory last year. We have nearly 30,000 users.
Speaking of the C64, back when I had one I had much more legit software than I do now.
This wasn't because I couldn't get my hands on pirated stuff, there was plenty of it about. It was because the legit software was affordable, and I would have much rather owned a real, boxed piece of software with the manuals etc.
Are you saying that you're routinely visited by guys to check if you have a TV license?!?
No. I have never been visited by the TV Licensing Administration. Nor do I know anyone who has. It's not 'routine'
It's simple - they have a list of addresses which have paid for their TV license. Subtract those from a list of all the properties in the country and there's your list of people who don't have a TV license. Now go and check to see if they have a TV or not.
There is absolutely no risk connecting an unpatched XP box to the Internet provided you firewall it first. And, oh looky, there's a firewall shipped with XP! It's more than adequate to prevent being compromised while you go to Windows Update and download the patches.
That's really interesting. I like the way that * commands get redirected to the host shell like they used to do on the BBC/Archimedes.
I had never thought of the * character as being sort of an escape character to talk to the shell until I tried to do a *fx 0 and got a 'Bad command or file name' back!

I hear you about throwing money away just to have the latest and greatest but when it comes to phones, what you're doing is almost throwing money away in order to *NOT* have the latest and greatest.
From my reckoning, you're going to have had a total of two phones in a ten year period.
Now, I don't know which service provider you're with, but Orange give you a free upgrade each year (from a limited selection of phones). You get to keep your old phone.
So, upgrade for free.
Unlock your old phone so it can be used on any network and then sell it on Ebay.
My house stands on a piece of land owned by a landlord. I own the house, but have to pay rent to the landlord for allowing my house to exist on their land.
My lease renewal period is 99 years, but it is not uncommon to see lease periods of 999 years.
Why? Because it's as good as owning the land for the tenant, but the landlord still keeps ownership.
This is no different. Of course Network Solutions don't expect you or them to be around in 100 years.

Not necessarily, in this context it might mean the one that isn't tighter.
Wow... well done on completely missing the joke by explaining it.

It worked first time, and it still works.
I find it interesting, therefore, that I was able to text my friends in London this morning to make sure they were OK.
And yes, I got replies.

They had better remember to wind the window back up when they're done.
Brilliant
You had to be there
Let me guess - You're not from the UK, and you've never seen the video that this is a spoof of?
well...I've never had a phone line fault...
Neither have I. That must mean that phone line faults are impossible.
I have lived in 8 different houses, all with BT lines and have never experienced a single fault on any of them.
Yep, phone line faults must be a figment of someone's imagination. They don't happen to me, therefore they cannot happen at all.

I loved BBC BASIC. I think it was unique enough to warrant its own mention.
The UNIX History page thankfully included a reference to RISC iX though.
Shouldn't that be:

There is allways ? before error message and
2 spaces between error message and the ERROR word.
That's the first thing that came into my head, too (including the 2 spaces)! Jesus, we're pedantic...

I know many retarded people that would be offended by that statement.
Seriously though, making sweeping statements like that just makes it obvious that you were never good enough for the high school debating team...
