  2. I have blocked China two years ago on Blocking a Nation's IP Space · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When I changed some setting to apache to let people from our company access the web via our proxy, I made an error and I also opened the proxy to the outside.

    The next days everything was slow and the log showed that I had a lot of request from outside ip address to other outside ip address. The majority of those address came from China.

    I change the setting in apache but I still had request by the hundred. I finally called my ISP and we have blocked a lot of range from China and right after the traffic went to normal.

    I have talk with my boss and have decided that it was not worth the trouble to enable those ip ranges since we are not doing business with China.

  4. Re:He's right on Van Allen Questions Human Spaceflight · · Score: 1
    Space exploration is a dangerous business, and humans are too valuable to risk. Or at least they should be.
    And it how right as human to take that risk for ourself. Give me a seat on the next shuttle and I'll be there.
  5. Re:Microsoft will Lose on Google Experiments With Local Filesystem Search · · Score: 5, Informative
    3. Google is clean. If I see that damn dog show up one more time I'll kill myself. When I search my file system I don't want to hide the stupid mutt, change my options so that subfolders are searched, then click through three screens to say I want to search my file system. Google will cut through this nonsense because they believe in simple/clean interfaces.
    The dog problem is easy to fix.
    Create HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\CabinetState\Use Search Asst as a new String Value and use the value "no".

    You'll have the old windows 2000 search dialogue.
  6. Big network on SmoothWall 2.0 Linux-Based Firewall Released · · Score: 1

    Does anyone are using smoothwall in mission critical situation. I am thinking of replacing the expensive and complicated Cisco Pix at the office with something more simple (smoothwall or ipcop).

    Is this secure and scalable enough for my 3 transactional web site in the dmz and the 30 workstations?

  7. Re:right. on French Government Bans Term 'E-Mail' · · Score: 1

    Actually. It is called "Plurriel".

    For Pollution and Courriel. No jokes!
    I have done my bachelor degree in a french university and every computer word have a french translation (at least in our text manual). It's only a matters of time before the Office de la Langue Francaise make them official.

  8. Re:solved on Anti-Spam Webforms Leave Out The Blind · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is cheating because .net passport does not use standard html or javascript. It use a software install on your system to know what hardware you are using. Does anyone else find this an invasion on privacy anyway?

  9. Re:They keep missing the point. on Self-Destructing DVD's Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Well, simple, just do like they do for bottles. Charges a extra and give it back for return. Let's say you charge 4$ for a dvd and give 2$ back for the sake of recycling. Then the consumers come back and the tree lovers are happy.
