I have yet to be shown anybody running a NT server right out of the box, only doing the www.windowsupdate.com routine
There are tons of illogical steps to be taken during upgrades and fixes, and some 3rd part software even require you to reinstall the whole system, installing theire software before a certaint fix.
It's a complete nightmare to take over a NT server with tons of software loaded, belive me I tried it a few times...
Not meaning this as a NT bach, my point is that it's normally not all that thrilling to take over admin of a server that somebody else set up & tweaked.
>2.Backup Solution There is at least one descent alternative for linux backup, I use Arkeia (www.arkeia.com) massivly parallell, and does most other OSes as well.
The code was published by a Norwegian in Norway, where disassembling code isn't a crime.
When the movie industry in US reacted, the police in Norway asked the kid some qustions (_not_ arresting him in any way).
He was even given awards from his school for his coding.
So from a coders perspective he was given a pat on his head within his country.
2600 reported abot this, what logic is it in the first case to atack 2600 for reporting about something that a Norwegian did in Norway?
US Law as far as I know, doesn't aply here in Scandinavia, so it seems to me abit strange that you guys (as a country) are sueing one-another about a thing done over here???
This is not intended as a flamer, just my inability to understand, what the trial is realy about, but since it's already over, maybe it's a little late to ask this;)
But you should _never_ relay on somebody else for your own security.
It's a bit like skiping looking the door just because there is a police station in town.
Personally I run ipchains on all my (linux)routers and servers and most workstations, if one firewall is cracked, there is at least some security left in the system.
The big win when ISPs start implementing this is that it reduces pointless the trafic on my local connection.
Well 150k is a nice one, but 16 times GSM rate wouldn't be very cost efficient;)
My solution would be to put two CardPhone 2.0 (43k2 a pice) in my laptop, and just use the built in linux feature "Serial Line load balancing"
Then I wouldn't even need that stupid car;)
The nice feature with the CardPhone 2.0 (Nokia) is that it will bundle 3 14k GSM slots but the operator only charges you for the first.
If the operator doesn't supports 14k data, you will only get 28k (3*9)
So this setup would only be 2 times GSM charge
I use mine quit a lot when I'm working, and must say that 43k2 isn't all that bad for a laptop on the road. Now I'll just have to get another one and try;)
IE will (propably) always be as good as Mozilla
on
Mozilla M16 Released
·
· Score: 1
This is not ment as a Moz-bashing, just what I think is happening and will continue, due to the open nature of Moz.
Just don't forget that the Microserfs have the same access to Moz-src as anybody else. It would be absurd to think that they are not actively monitoring features and implementations.
So whenever some new funky stuff is in late Beta for Moz, IE will release a new version delivering this new functionality, so Moz _cant_ beat IE to market on a single feature, unless ofcourse MS acievly decides not to implement this feature, but then they propably will either FUD it, or implement something completly incompatible, just to make sure they limit the user acceptance of the Moz way of handling stuff.
You see, it turns out that a lot of people are still using horses. I'm not saying it's a good thing; I'm pointing out that it's there, it's real... and it's not in any way less relevant just because it's in the Third World.
Well, actually I got a horse myself, and am just about to go riding after I finish this;)
You are right though that the car is far from obtainable for everybody, especially in the poorer countries. My point was maybe not clear but I was more thinking about those happy enough to have the economical means to make a choise. Amongst those the car is a primary item. Just look at Russia & eastern Europe for example, one of the first things people get once they have the economical resources for it, is a car
In many parts of the world a deasent car seems to be even more important than deasent living!
And the horse is deffenitly not extinct, but if you take US or europe, the number of hiways far outnumbers the number of horsetrails (is that the right word for a "horse road"?)
So to sumarize I think that one day suddenly the car will be obsoleted, and people will tell children storys of the "primitive old days" when people had to own and driva a car, but I'm rather sceptical to those that try to predict what this replacement will be.
Well the thing is, basically transportation is being done with the most convinient method, or rather the method belived to be most convinient.
Think back to the beginning of the last century. Almost all general personal transportation was being done using a horse.
True there was trains for long distance and cargo, but basically everybody was riding or wagoning on a daily basis
Allready in the early 1900 the car, the bike and the motorcycle was there, but lack of good roads and cheep veicles made them a marginal phenomena.
Then suddenly cars became cheap and better roads was built.
In a surprisingly short period of time allmost everybody switched from horse to car. This allmost imediate switch could not have been foorseen. If you look at contemporary SF, they fantasized of flying / hoovering transportation. Hardly any SF writer anticipated the explotion of the car.
This shows that we are rather restricted in our imagination by what we have today. So I would guess that whatever the next default individual transport method will be, propably it is allready here, but we just fail to realize that this one is the next big thing.
Just as today we really can't see the car going away, the rider of 1900 wouldn't dream of replacing his horse. But still the car replaced the horse in a (historically seen) surprisingly short time.
No level of car-nostalgia will prevent it from going away once there is a option that is belived to be better. Of cource it propably wont go a way 100%, but it will stop being regarded as the default individual transportation icon.
Problem is. this kind of quantum-leaps in personal preferences is not really predictable, so anybody saying that he can show us the car-killer should be taken with more than a grain of salt
I have installed Ice on several low-end systems. I've tried quite a few VMs and at least I have gotten the impression that Ice is one of the better options on low-end (actually low memory) systems.
We have quite a few public systems (ouch 16 & 32 MB...), mostly used as web-machines, and on those systems it's important to give the users an environment that is fairly similar in basic look & feel to Windows.
On this low-end systems we used all kinds of other VMs, can't remember them all, but most of the ones around bout 18 month ago, and had to put notices beside the systems saying things as "Right-click on desktop for menu" (Nope, it didn't help the clueless little old ladys on going to our local library)
Eventually we removed all alternatives, and just made Ice available, with a verry basic Win95 look. Suddenly all those lost souls actually could use the boxes, most of them propably didn't know they were using a linux workstation.
Similar on my 32MB laptop, KDE & E just bogs me down, the footprint of Ice is quite nice.
Hi, I'm running a 100% linux surfsite, we used to have windows-workstations, but people kept changing things all the time and bypassing any security measure we put up. So we switched all out to linux. Regular users with acounts use a VM of their choise. guests are restricted to a stripped down IceVm with only netscape, and the guest home dir is deleted and recreated between each login - no admin since we installed this in June!
Don't you remember that case in Sweden, a kid that only linked to mp3s on the net, he still ended up in court, although he got of in the end. It seems that "only linking" doesn't count as an excuse...
I have a setup with a few Breexe nodes, and some leased line customers.
My setup is a linux box connected to the net, static routing, so that each MAC is forced to a certain IP, and then shaper, some of the connected people have a few boxes, then I just shape them all through one device, so that they share their own alloted bandwith.
Shaper (as far as I know) only shape outgoing (to the local people) trafic, had some trouble with morons uploading tons, so I use a spare box in between my "Breeze hub" box and my backbone, with lots of virtual IPs, each shaper device uses its own def route to one of the virtuals, so then I can shape both ways. Maybe not the most elegant, but it works;)

Of course it is good if ISPs trap fake ips.
But you should _never_ relay on somebody else for your own security.
It's a bit like skiping looking the door just because there is a police station in town.

Well I agree with you about mail also being "serious netting"
;)
but one thing is sure, this domain isn't used for email, do a
dig mx corinthians.com
;; ANSWER SECTION:
corinthians.com. 4w2d IN MX 5 loomis.vermontel.net.
Thats right - no backup mailserver = not really a domain used for mail.
Of course somebody _could_ have 12.000 users without backup mx, but show me one

You got a point, so just to be mr. NiceGuy, I changed to an uptime script instead
while true; do

This way I don't have to guess, I will actually be able to see the poor system going down :)

>If NT were as stable as *BSD or Linux, do you think that the development community would switch over to NT?
I like and use linux, but can't agree with you on this.
One of the main reasons why peolple make the move NT -> linux is stability.
If that was available in NT - Why would any NT shop bother to do the switch?
It sure costs them a lot of relearning to go to a new OS, not many would do it just on license issues. (At least that's what I think)
