  1. Re:formmail.pl on Microsoft Instant Messenger Virus Sweeps Net · · Score: 2

    I've had the same problem with a FormMail.pl installed around here. IT already had the referer check etc in it but that wasn't enough as you've stated above. What I ended up doing was putting in a recipient check, the script is only meant to be used by local (to the domain) people so they can get feedback from their webpages so I just made sure that the recipient was in the format of *@. Spammers would only be likely to able to use the script in the tiny percentage of cases where their spam victims' addressess happen to be in this domain.

    Yeah I noticed, my squid acl rules that were blocking it were timing out in dns and making the proxy take ages to start. But never fear you can still get at goatse.cx with the Way Back Machine!

    Or how many of us have never watched Futurama or Family Guy on TV and only ever seen it from copies downloaded from somewhere?...

  4. Re:Looking for a good internal search engine on Google's Search Appliance · · Score: 2

    Also if you run a university internet website you can have it indexed and searchable by google via their University Search Feature a free version of their sitesearch service for educational institutions. Which are both really just a site-restricted internet search, but you can use you own templates in the search results which is cool.

    Hey its fine if its on the inside or the outside of the case, but not both.

    At an angle? As the previous poster said, go and read the article and look at the photos. The drives (and internals) are quite clearly visible up against the side of the case window.

    Did you mean orange the fruit, orange the color, orange the tree, or orange the river"
    Great idea but how is the search engine going to tell which meaning of the word its looking for in context? Now that would be a very useful step if you can find a nice way to do it.

    Uh no, the only way it works is because of the interaction of the players with the real world, ie real money etc to buy/sell the items.

  13. Re:Rosaviakosmos, anyone? on Apollo 1 · · Score: 2

    Well 200 isn't a very far out figure to come to when for example the Nedelin Disastor alone killed 74 personnel. Though it wasn't really part of the space program, though it was definantly involving Russian rocktetry development.

    > > Nobody informed them that launch pressure was sea level.

    > And this is an excuse why? Really, where else would you launch a space capsule from? Space?

    I think in that case he actually means the pressure inside the capsule during launch is kept the same pressure as outside at sea level.

  15. Re:Adelphia on Comcast Gunning for NAT Users · · Score: 2

    (k) Home networking: The ability to connect more than one computer system to your Residential Power Link Service is available at an additional charge over and above the basic subscription fee. This additional service allows You to connect up to 4 individual machines to your Residential Power Link Service. This service does not permit the operation of a server of any type from your Residential Power Link Service.

    By that wording it reads to me that they sell you the ability to do it at an additional cost, but do not prohibit you from setting it up yourself if you know how.

  16. Maybe it should be called Jackster on News Media Scammed by 'Free Energy' Hoax · · Score: 1, Troll

    The MPAA and the RIAA will slap down on this one bigtime with some help of whatever cabal controls power. Energy shouldn't be distributed for free, you have to pay royalties to the people responsible for its creation! If this takes off what will happen to those poor starving energy monopolies of the developed world? Why they would lose their only source of income and be unable to finance their lobby groups and buy senators by the dozen. Why, Governments might actually start do things for people rather than big industry, we can't let that happen! It will destroy the world as we know it.

    It doesn't matter the description of Star Wars: Return of The Jedi: Ewok Adventure still made it all worthwhile,

    You take the role of an EWOK in this thrilling game based on scenes from RETURN OF THE JEDI. Now a member of the Rebel cause, you must hang glide over dangerous territory in order to reach the imperial shield generator. Your mission: to blow it apart! But as you swoop through the forest, IMPERIAL STORMTROOPERS, AT-ST's amd BIKER SCOUTS will try to shoot you down. Hurl rocks at the enemy as you avoid their fire and close in on the shield generator. 1 or 2 players.

    And if that wasn't enough go visit the correct link and take a look at the McDonalds game on the opposite side of the page.

    The Lightning can still outclimb an F16...

    Are you refering to the P-38 from the previous post? I went and google that fact and it doesn't seem quite true:

    P-38J: Rate of Climb: 3,800 ft./min
    F-16: Initial climb rate 62,000 feet per minute.

    Unless Initial Climb Rate and Rate of Climb mean different things, that factoid of your is not _quite_ correct...
