  1. aeon flux on Machine Gun Sentry Robot Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Now they just need some giant scissors that cut you in half when you try to cross the border like in Aeon Flux (which ironically is really about North and South Korea)...

    30000 DVDs X 5 GB ISO FILES = 150000 GB
    150000 GB / 300 GB = 500 EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES
    500 EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES X $114.99 = $57,495

    that actually works really well but you have to remove the chkdsk line...

    also if anybody knows how to make the chkdsk /f /r
    work without answering yes, it would make the script better.

    after you install clamwin:

    open notepad and paste the below,

    # Save this as C:\Program Files\ClamWin\bin\freshclam.conf
    DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
    MaxAttempts 3
    then do as the first line suggests and save it in the location.

    then open notepad and paste the below,
    echo off
    cls
    echo Clam Scan Open Source Virus Detection and Removal Script
    chkdsk /f /r
    cd C:\Program Files\ClamWin\bin
    freshclam --datadir="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\.clamwin\db" --config-file="C:\Program Files\ClamWin\bin\freshclam.conf"

    defrag c: -v

    save this as tune_up.bat somewhere and click on it when you
    are done with your work everyday.

  8. mba on Misconfigured Webserver, Threats to Call FBI · · Score: 1

    I think when you see mba on someone's resume, it should immediately
    subtract one technical degree from the rest of their resume...

  9. Re:screen on Sysadmin Toolbox Top Ten · · Score: 1

    in fact, i just used it to sudo yum install torsmo on fc4. i forgot how cool torsmo was and the article above reminded me about it.

  10. screen on Sysadmin Toolbox Top Ten · · Score: 1

    I like screen. You can type screen -S screenname and have an installation job run even while you are logged out. Hit Cntrl-A and D to detach. Then just type screen -r to resume a few days later.

  11. nfs on France To Force iTunes to Open to Other Players? · · Score: 1

    I don't understand what the big deal is about this. You can drag a folder full of your own mp3's right into itunes and then put them on your ipod. Why does anyone care what happens in between?

    You can even just keep a big nfs share of stuff on another computer and drag the folder shortcut into i-tunes and it will work the same way...

  12. yum on Should You Pre-Compile Binaries or Roll Your Own? · · Score: 1

  14. remote web cam server on A Webserver on Your Cellphone? · · Score: 1

    how about some application to post snapshots with your phone using webcamrc into your web folder everytime there is motion. you could buy a phone and set it in a secret location and then just log into the web page to observe the goings ons... (bushism?)

  20. simple filters on Kazaa Betamax Defense, Reports From The Courtroom · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I have a simple filter also. If i put a banana in my tailpipe when i drive by some stupid little town on the hiway with a 10 mile per hour speed limit it will keep me from speeding. However, whenever i am not in that stupid little town, MY CAR DOESN'T RUN WORTH A CRAP!

    Just because China doesn't want me to find articles about FALUN GONG doesn't mean that the whole internet or even Kazaa should block it...

    i don't know, i have been re-encoding dvds with dvdshrink using windows xp under virtual pc in mac os x on a powerbook and it is pretty fast. i have also been running pro-engineer from ptc which is pretty intensive app without any problem. the only thing i noticed is that when i first installed it, it was really slow, almost to the point of me giving up on it. after next reboot of the mac it was faster than my work pc...

    i use a g4 power book with virtual pc.
    windows xp runs great.
    windows media center worked okay.
    fedora core 2 runs great.
    i am currently trying out suse on it too.

    i really like os x and that is my new os of choice now. it has all the power of linux and the config gui's are highly polished and idiot proof. if you want more power over anything you can just open the terminal...

    the only problem i had using virtual pc is that to share anything i set up a samba share in os x and then had to transfer files back and forth with the network to my windows installation. i wish there was some way you could just "mount" and see your apple hard drive directly in the virtual pc windows xp environment...

    really? i have had a hard time with: DVD2oneX V1.4.1 (Mac OS-X) which has changed the registration scheme. it is not as publicized like V1.4 is yet on the boards and i cannot find anywhere to download the old legacy V1.4 package... i think i am just going to !gasp! buy it instead of transferring 8G of files back and forth through samba.
