Does anyone know of a hardrive that has ethernet that runs NFS? I need some dumb little drive that I can put on the network and configure either through telnet or www.
Ever since I can remember my geek friends and I were blocking out the sun with pizza boxes. I realize there is glare, but we did it even when there was none. It was a cave, and more so when we moved into the basement. To this day I like it dark, but with enough light to see the keys. (After 10 years, I still can't touch type =))
On an almost related subject, I find sex by lone monitor light is better then in front of the fireplace case nothing gets burned =)
Or maybe since geeks are the brightest people on the planet, maybe they look to offset thier brightness with dark... just look at the pengiun. Black and white. =)
Oh, I forgot.. Section 10 is to what I'm referring for the most part, plus some stuff from other sections. Why the distribitions don't do this out of the box, I do not know.
Have fun. That should keep you busy the rest of the week =)
Those aren't prohibited. I refer you to section 9, A-C but specifically B. They acknowlege and allow it.
They tend to ignore linux until a machine gets broken into and is used to abuse the network. They won't let you back on until you say you've fixed the problem. Follow the TrinityOS document as much as possible to prevent that.
Yes, yes they do port scans. I've logged them many times doing it to me. I highly suggest people read the TrinityOS document and implement as much as possible. I've known 2 out of 2 people who have their linux boxes hacked into. Since I trinified my box, I see about 3 hack attempts or scans a week by people, including @Home. And it's not @home customers, it's actually @home.
Couldn't it be construed that packet encapsulation all together is a VPN and HEAT and MPlayer will be fuct? If that is allowed then can they stop IPv6? And... drum roll please... IPv6 features encryption, even user defined encryption. So in thoery you could do IPv6 under the same principals that HEAT and MPlayer are allowed.
I've written (email) the following letter to @home to see if they have a clue:
------------------------------------
I am a current @Home subscriber. The future of you providing my service
rests on the following questions:
Pertaining to section 6 d:
'OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH A VPN (VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK) OR A VPN TUNNELING PROTOCOL'
I wish to clarify that you do indeed mean VPN and not NAT.
Question 1a) Do you really mean VPN?
1b) How does @home define a VPN?
A VPN may be implemented over HTTP or other already allowed protocols.
Question 1c) Does this also deny such a VPN?
Question 2) Do you really mean NAT?
While a NAT (Network Address Translation) computer would cut into the $6.95 it costs for additional IP address, it us unclear why you would ban use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN), because it would not cut into profits. These two items are not related, but may be used in conjunction (but usually are not.) A VPN provides secure networking between computers over the Internet.
Question 3) Why would @home ban VPN? Note: 'Because' is not sufficient. Please explain in detail why this restriction was chosen to
be amended to the agreement. Please include any examples or relevant material.
Section 9 A: You cover eavesdropping and how it is a risk. A VPN is the solution to such risk.
Question 4) Do you still wish to ban VPN?
My friends an I (All @home subscribers (for now)) wish to run a VPN. Provided that the VPN is in accordance with US and local authorities:
Question 5a) Is this permitted by @home?
5b) If so, are there any restrictions? 5c) what are those restrictions?
Question 6) What measures will @home take to prevent/and/or detect VPNs?
Question 7) If a VPN is discovered, through legal means, what measures
will @home take?
Question 8a) Is packet encapsulation considered VPN? If so it will dis-allow services like heat.net and mplayer.com to not function, since
these services encapsulate IPX over IP. What about for IPv6? Also, AOL ould be affected.
Question 8b) Are you aware of these ramifications?
Please note that an answer such as 'whatever is deemed necessary' is vague. Please elaborate as much as possible. Answers will be taken with consideration as to the notion of 'progress' and 'advancement' of the service. Also please place the answer to each question below that
question. Please answer each question. If answer is 'unknown', then please state 'unknown' and refer me to the appropriate person inside @home who would know.
My favorite channel MTV (#include sarcasm.h) looks like it's rubbing off on/. MTV has taken itself from the music TV that it was and now is an icon for popculture TV. It disturbs me that/. is heading in this same direction. Is/. tring to be the one-stop geek culture center of the net? Should they? As you probably have guessed, my feeling is No./. is a NEWS site not a CULTURE site. While they come close in implementation, the purpose is quite different. I'm wondering how much the Andoverizing of/. has effected content, or is/. just getting lame?

One of the biggest requirements for a database is having a references tbl.field constrint. MySQL does not do this. Postgres does. To any real database person, this is a nessasary feature. Sure MySQL will let you type it in, but it is ignored. Try it for yourself. I'd rather have a slower but more feature-full database than the hunk of junk that MySQL is (from a technical standpoint) It may be just fine for 90% of the websites out there, but I bet 90% of those are not implemented properly and could really stand to be re-written. What MySQL is is fast tables. Not a 'database' in any true sense of the word. You might as well use MS Access, it's just as crappy, but at least it supports references contraints. I think the non-inclusion of this fact is a grevious mistake for the review.
The advantages are that the user gets to use and tweak the code. (Don't some people want access to window's source code?? to make things run better?)
Now in return, the software company should either condisder the OSDeveloper as an employee, payting for the hours spent on it, or my favorite, the company should give them a lifeime subscription to use of the software and derivities (sp?) that the company or other OSD develops
Isn't odd how the Next link at the bottom takes you to a page on how to use GNUtella and Napster, and tells you all about mp3s and what software you should use?
You don't need randomness at all. Just select several www documents (static) or like in Johny Nmumonic (sp?) use images. Then in the file format list out: http://images.slashdot.org/title.gif http://images.slashdot.org/topics/topicapache.gi f http://images.slashdot.org/topics/topicmusic.gif And use them to pad the data. Also, you could use a script to check that the a+b+c+d+z=original, and adjust the z as nessasary. Sure anyone can reconstruct it, but now the blame is distributed, which was the goal. Also you could use http auth protected documents so only a select few can do it. Unfortuneately, this requires more bandwidth and time. Therefore you can use each pad in succession, rather than layering them. This would require only 2*L bytes to be transmitted.
Oh, and truely random data is easy: 1) get a radio 2) get a sound card 3) get a microphone 4) tune radio to a non-existant channel 5) take raw bytes from soundcard's mic line (0-256) 6) repeat as nessasary Static is the only 'truly' random thing. And if it's not, it's close enough.
Right right. I've used perl/tk, and python is just another scripting language. But as for compiled programs in C++, how is that done? Let's say I don't want to deliver source code because it's going on an embeded device where space is a a premium, so comilation is nessasary.
Well, linux would be nice to program in because nearly everything is a file or filesystem, including processes.
Secondly, lower system reqs make it better for embeded systems. No worry of is this NT function supported under CE and/or 98.
Third, stability. I've crashed my windows machine 30 times in one day cause I had a pad pointer. It was fun running the program and guessing where the error was (even in the debugger).
I've been using linux since 1994, and in that time I've only written text console apps, with a smattering of perl/tk. My job requires me to to MSVC++, but on a personal note, HOW THE HELL DO YOU MAKE 'windows' APPS on linux??? Is there an anology to MFC? Or does it depend on the IDE?Do KDE and GNOME have thier own libraries? Do I have to develop for each seperately?
Please help me get started. I'm a VB programmer learning MFC and VC++.
Offer a basic service for free, then offer an extended service for a fee. That way everyone can be a light user and get worth out of the service. Then those who can find value in extened service are willing to pay. Everyone is happy. Just make user the free service is adequate.

Even better yet, have a filter that makes you keystrokes fit a pattern.... find someone's pattern and you have thier identity... no need to practice at all.
I'm behind a IIS4.0 Proxy. Problem is that it wants NTLM (NT Lan Manager) authentication. Only the basics of this are documented. This royally sucks for me because I write socket apps, and can't get though unless I use Visual Studio and MFC's http classes. I've tried http tunnel and a bunch of other things to no avail.
If you figure something out, I'd appreciate hearing it too.
Why not create your own label, like everyone else?=) Seriously though, why isn't there (or why can't there be) an independent music label for the unsigned bands? I guess dues would be a must, so that they have funding to take on such legal battles.... but I don't see why it can't be done.

Mozilla (16+ i know from personal exp) allows cookie refusal like that, except you have to tell it what cookies to ban.
