This software provides an "Active Portal" which basically means any web traffic is redirected from wherever it was supposed to go to some specified machine.
Its not a difficult thing to do manually either with iptables. (from memory its something like: iptables -T nat -I prerouting -P tcp -dport 80 -d ! localnet -j DNAT --dest localbox). Just make sure you have a DNS server running that sends all requests back to your IP or else their browser will give them an error.
From there, you just set up and run apache on 'localbox' and you're off!
For a while I was solely in charge of support and development for a custom steel industry machine that logged thickness and width of steel sheets.
My job involved coding in Fortran-77 (the one that has 7 letter variable name limits) on a PDP-11 (a computer from the 1960's that requires its own air conditioner).
Occasionally some engineer would turn off the air conditioner and permanently destroy part of the computer. We would have to rebuild it from other decommisioned machines lying around the place but even those where getting scarce!
Anyway, try fixing a problem in someone elses code without comments with variable names like "HSMDCTG" (Hot Strip Mill Down Coiler Temperature Gauge) or "DCEXS" (Down Coiler EXit Speed). That was by far the worst job I've had.
A close second was fixing over 15000 compile errors (>2GB of code) as a result of upgrading to the latest Solaris SPARC-64 compiler from a 32-bit version.
In 1995-1996 I got my MP3's via #mp3central on dal.net.
In 1997 I wrote software for my final year at high school that was essentially Napster! It used a simple cryptographic hash challenge/response system to turn an IRC channel into a broadcast channel used to search the MP3 collections of other users. Search results were sent back to the requestor via private messages and DCC file transfers were used to send actual music. The whole system worked extremely well!!
About 12 months after I'd finished, a friend directed me to napster.com!
Unfortunately I can't provide any citations from memory but my girlfriend is doing her Honours year thesis on "The interaction between EEG and ERP wave patterns in ADHD children on and off stimulant medication" and I have read first-hand a couple of papers on biofeedback being used as treatment.
Try searching journal databases like Ovid, ScienceDirect, etc and you should find that a variety of studies have been done on this topic already. From memory, it seems to be reasonablly effective for a number of disorders.
I haven't seen this issue raised anywhere. I presume Intel will have to make some new instructions for their CPU's (and perhaps the DMA controller also) to prevent memory writes to various parts of memory.
AFAIK, the x86 has a non-writable page flag that isn't currently used by Windows but to be truely safe they will have to start using it to protect the code segment. Also, locking the instruction pointer to the code segment (no executing the heap or stack) will be necessary.
Yes, they are scientific but AFAIK they are also just photos.
I saw these about a year ago at a radio telescope receiver station for NASA just south of Canberra (Australia). They are about 1.5m wide and up to about 5m long with a resolution so good I couldn't see any pixels (so > 300dpi I guess).
At 300dpi, that puts them at around
17716x59055 = 1,046,220,472 pixels or approximately 1 Gigapixel!
If I encapsulate voice over IPX and then tunnel that to a remote location, is that VoIP? What if I define my own layer-3 protocol and use GRE tunnelling to connect with the remote party?
How can you form a clear definition of VoIP let alone regulate it? If you don't use a well-known protocol, there aren't even any tell-tale signatures that a sniffer could look for.
That command has worked perfectly for me time after time. You may also need to back up the boot sector (I think its something like dd if=/dev/hda of=bootsector.img bs=512 count=1).
You can boot a linux kernel via CD and use images mounted from remote shares too!
Step 1. Give all vote collecting devices a public/private key pair. Sign all votes and include a timestamp and random number/sequence number to identify replay attacks.
Step 2. Give a list of public-keys to the vote collection server/system that is offline and locked up for the entire voting process (ie. tamper-proof).
Step 3. Ensure that you delete all traces of private keys except for those in the actual devices.
Step 4. Vote (print voter and government paper receipts with timestamp and number for vote verification in case of emergency).
Step 5. Collect PK signed votes electronically.
Step 6. Bring collection system offline, obtain public keys for voting devices, tally votes.
It is no wonder that the rest of the world is coming to resent the arrogance and flamboyance of the American culture. This article is the most one-sided ("American") piece of tripe I've read this week.
I live in a country other than the U.S.A and for the past decade or so, if I've wanted to work on the cutting-edge in computers, I would have to move to the US to do so. How would you, as American's, like to be told that you must move to India to work on the latest technologies? Or maybe that starting up a company in your own country is pointless because you need to be in Korea or Taiwan to organise meetings with manufacturers?
Do American's even realise the degree to which their patriotic tendencies negatively affect other (poorer) nations? You are in a position of power and all you seem to care about is securing that power. Helping other nations and "global trade" seem to be conditional on the fact that dominance be maintained.
It has been a long time coming and I for one am *extremely* happy that the rest of the world gets a cut of the pie.
I have two PC's that were stolen from my Father's school and dumped in a ditch in a park for around 4 months (they were Cyrix 586's - I guess the theifs realised.:).
The police somehow got a hold of them and gave them back (They were engraved with the schools name). It had been raining heavily since they were stolen so there was dirt and grass all through them.
I dried them out in the sun for a few days and fired them up. Power Suppy - Worked. Motherboard - Worked. Speed64 graphics card - Worked. Keyboard - Worked. In fact, everything worked on one of the two machines. The floppy, CDROM, Hard Drive, Sound card, the works! On the other one, corrosion had set in around the CMOS battery and a spider had set up a nest of eggs there (maybe it was warm?) so I couldn't get any CMOS settings to stick. But even so, all of the components worked as I tested them in the other PC!
I couldn't believe it!
