If I can't get into a website with firefox I go somewhere else. Within seconds. If your webiste is too garbaged-up with advertising, flash, cookies and IE specific hacks, I don't want my credit card number or personal info sitting at your establishment. If you cannot handle a simple task of coding useable, standardized HTML then I will do business elsewhere. And I do. And you should too.
I don't know that I buy bipedalism as a sign of superior evolution. After all, chimps (monkeys) have evolved an adept adaptation that uses four limbs simultaneously and sometimes even a tail. Most people are not even ambidextrous let alone have enough balance to stand on one foot. Is it wise to say we are superious because we can walk upright, or is dexterity in multiple libs a sign of higer evolution?
Some links here* to get it setup. I just set it up and it's not too bad. steps: 1) edit httpd.conf and configure webdav (uncomment these):
- LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
- LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so
2) add a location under web server root to save the calendars to. Replace parenthesis below with arrowheads per usual apache conriguration. slashdot strips my arrowheads in the post. Define the calendar user authentication as the 'cal' user: (Location/calendar)
Dav On
AuthType basic
AuthName cal
AuthUserFile calendar
(LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS)
require user cal
(/LimitExcept) (/Location)
3) create the calendar directory under the web root with write access for web server. (note: web servers with write access are potential security holes to watch your logs). On fedora, apache is a member of the apache group. I give root ownership of the directory and give write access to the apache group. Adding the sticky bit to the directory assures users can only delete files they own, not someone elses.
- mkdir/var/www/html/calendar
- chown root:apache/var/www/html/calendar
- chmod g+w/var/www/html/calendar
- chmod o+t/var/www/html/calendar
4) create the cal user for httpd and give him a password:
- htpasswd -c/etc/httpd/calendar cal
- New password:
- Re-type new password:
- Adding password for user cal
5) restart httpd and watch httpd message logs for errors or sucess:
-/etc/init.d/httpd restart
- tail -f/var/log/httpd/access_log/var/log/httpd/error_log
6) create new calendar in thunderbird using webdav
- calendars -> new -> on the network
- format == caldav
- location == http://localhost/calendar
- Next
- name == test
- Next
- (Web authorization popup should come up)
- username == cal
- password == see_step_4
You should see something in your apache messages logs similar to this if calendar is working:
I have ipcop running on a pentium 133 laptop as my gateway/firewall. The battery holds enough charge to stay up for a few minutes when the power flickers. With the display built right in I don't need a monitor sitting there. I can turn off the display when I don't need it. I leave it on 24/7. It consumes about 13 watts of power at idle (via Killawatt*). It's a little pokey on the web pages, but uses very little CPU otherwise.
I was using a P266 laptop behind the 133 for a while and stripped down a knoppix install to run: - httpd - sshd - samba - openvpn - fetchmail - dovecot - spamassassin
I adjusted most of the config files to lighten the load on the 256M of ram, but as I added more services it was just too much for it and stuff was getting sniped by OOM killer; nice experiment for a couple years though. Linux is adjustable for old crappy hardware which cant be said for windows (or apple for that matter).
Why not teach students to double-check and triple-check their sources for chissakes? They are going to need to know how to do that in real life. Wikipedia should be used for what it is; a collaborative collection of knowledge which is subject to change. This is just dumb.
Is it wise to use that password ascii values to figure in to the encryption key (but not store the password anywhere)? This way if the entire encryption key is (for instance) 99342183588345923458 + AsciiSum (userpass) you could hack EAX to always return the password is verified, but upon decrypting the data, the AsciiSum () routine would not add up to what was used to encrypt it in the first place; eg you get decrypted gibberish. I'm not a crypto geek, so just asking..
Most of the cops I know feel they are above the law. Think about the cops you know that smoke dope, drive drunk and do illegal shit when their red lights aren't on. They are regular people in an emotionally f-cked job. Doesn't give em the right to play god, but most of em do - on and off the job.

that's just the problem. you haven't a choice. Sounds like AMD is dragging it's customers into something they don't want. This is very unwise, but perhaps the last gasp for air from a company with it's head bobbing under. Maybe they haven't any choice at this point.

You must be new here. Our Hummers weigh in at much more than a measly two tons. Besides, American women with 1 or more children are forbidden to be seen in anything with four doors unless it's an SUV. (It's federal law; kind of like that big cloth bag they have to wear in the mideast). American males with premature balding, premature greying, limpdickosis and/or shortpeckeritis are also required to own at least one SUV and a Harley Davidson. The SUV must have at least 8 cylinders and you get a tax subsidy from Exxon if you upgrade to Hemi-anything. On weekends, most people take their Hummers out and rear-end anything that gets more than 25 mpg.
sfw.. dont forget someone else will be buying *your* kids ipod then. The cost of the ipod will most likely be covered 10 times over by the amount of tax increases the state will gain:
"..tax soda and satellite TV services, among other things, to raise funds."
can't replicate, can't launch automatically and "user has to save the virus to the iPod memory for the device to become infected" Why not just format the ipod and save yourself a lot of dicking around?
