What I wound up doing is similar. The services that I run at home, are things I use from my office. (ssh in to a machine at my house, to test things from off my office network, stream my mp3s to my office, from mer server at home) so I slapped together a rule in my firewall so that only my office firewalls IP can connect to any ports I have mapped. I'd prefer port knocking though, so I could access everything from anywhere, and not have to worry about paying attention to what IPs comcast is hitting me from.
I'm a debian man myself, so I could be completely wrong, but the Mandrake zealot at my work claims urpmi will upgrade everything to the most current stuffs very very easily. I don't know the syntax or anything, but I'm sure someone here will post it..
Along the same lines, it would be useful to us non-warez folk that run servers at home that are for personal use, but have broadband that disallows servers in the AUP.
One thing I've noticed a lot recently, is spammers including a big list of domains that have nothing to do with them in the text of thier junk mail. In the past 2 weeks, i've probally got about 10 spamcop reports for my customers, and in every case, my customer has had nothing to do with the junk mail, except for being listed in a list of about 15 URLs, that are not associated with the spammer. This system here says it has a whitelist for paces like ebay, paypal etc, but what about smaller people. They'd get blocked, and potentially lose business, due to something that they had absolutley nothing to do with.
Totally off topic, but "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" Is from A Tale of Two Cities.
The first line of War and Peace is
'Well, Prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now just family estates of the Buonapartes.[...]'
Kinda sorta. Alienware and Sager both sell Clevo laptops. Sager sells a better variety of Clevos though. The one in particular that I'm looking at has a 256mb Radeon in it, and can be had with a RAID 0 array. In a freakin laptop!!
Here's a link
T3s aren't much better for the extra price you pay?! At least here outside of Philadelphia, wholsale, a T3 will run you about 3 - 4x the price of a T1, but it's nearly *30* times faster.. that sure sounds *MUCH* better to me.
this is kind of stupid, but shouldn't have been modded as offtopic. It's a hosts file entry pointing www.com.com (cnet.. the subject of the article) back to localhost. Presumably because the poster disaproves of this outsourcing.
I bought a replaytv about 4 months ago, and am damn glad that I did. I'm actually looking at a second one now. There are already people that have a way to add your own XMLtv listings to it if you're somewhere that replaytv doesn't provide listings for, so, if the ReplayTV service got shut down, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take too much to rig it to not even need the replaytv "mothership" at all. I'm pretty sure some of the people over at planetreplay already know how to make it do this, but aren't sharing because they thing people ought to pay ReplayTV for the service, since they're still around (and for the record, I agree)
The summary (of course I didn't read the article) says that the +R folk say this won't affect them. Well, hasn't something similar already hit them? I know the last pack of 4x DVD+Rs I got said on them that they wouldn't work with 2.4 without a firmware update to the drive..
How hard is it to make a MB that is "overspeced" so that you can stick the fastest processor and ram in it for a couple of years?
Pretty hard.. technology changes, and without knowing what's going to happen several years down the line, how can you possibly build a motherboard to support stuff that isn't out yet?
I believe the his point was that since this just showed up in the mail, you have no way of knowing if it's really legit. What if someone had trojaned a copy of office and started sending it out to people saying it was from Microsoft?
Why is India even coming up? Where the job was outsourced to doesn't really affect this at all. Us folk here in America can screw up too, you know. Also, the article names the person that posted the database as a "Mark Dennis". Though it's possible that there is a "Mark Dennis" in India working on this project, I'd say it's a safe bet to say that this was someone here in the US.
As this is slashdot, I haven't read the article, however, I find it very hard to believe that a mainstream news outlet would really describe this accurately. I mean, look at how bad the press tends to botch up tech stories on things that aren't "underground". Why would I trust that they know about things that aren't common knowledge, when they can't even get stories on simple tech issues correct?
I haven't seen the movie, but if I'm reading the post correctly, the OP is saying that sometime during the course of the movie 'Pi' they touch on the concept of 'Phi'. Not that Pi=Phi, but I could be wrong..

just so long as his next words weren't going to be "license, registration and proof of insurance"

Well, most new burners support both formats, which isn't going to help either side really.

if so, we know that he wasn't using Nmap 3.50
Yes, but Vancouver is in Canada, and would therefore not be one of the top 2 locations for US game development..

Eh. It was an attempt at humor. Apparently it was unsuccessful.
but why read the article when I could just read the post that you made that explains it all to me ;)

Once. That's waaay more then enough ;)

I think the inventor of this has been watching Time Cop way way too much
