Alternatively use rsync's checksum feature! here are rsyncs best options to get an exact copy of your data:
rsync -Ppogrtlhc *old location* *new loation*
the options are permissions, progress, owners, groups, recursive, cant remember t, soft links, hard links, checksum.
Not really for the overly paranoid but its always worked fine for me and i still have a functioning OS, just one with slightly better partitions!
-p does pretend and shows a list of all the packages portage woud install if the command really executed.
really you should do emerge -pv [package name] to see the options for it and set the appropriate use flags. Its all fun and produces proper packages but not for general use. But then gentoo is a fringe geek's os, an os for "us" if linux becomes mainstream and we need something more complicated than the rest fo the world to remain geeky
The iPod would be akin to the "PC"; the iTunes Music Store would be "Windows". (Remember: Microsoft never made computers). But for Apple, the iTunes Music Store is a break even proposition
wouldnt your analagy be more suited as The Ipod "being Windows" and iTunes "being internet explorer"?
that way you could have real "as netscape" and you have a situation where a company in a strong position tries to stop their opposition. What if microsoft made this statement?
"in the future we may release updates so as to add functionality to windows, may break other browsers and that makes us look bad and hurts our sales, so they should be banned from making it"
This real thing is a hack, it should have remained one and should not have become an opportunity for a company to capitalise. if they had kept this quiet and released this on P2P networks it could have boosted their sales as people could apply the hack themselves and then accpet its not apple's fault.
people should be allowed to hack their hardware any way they like but it looks like its going to become illegal to fiddle with your own stuff soon.
***I know the DMCA doesnt apply to my example as the MS APIs are published but i just wanted to show you a different perspective. As long as ive done that then this comment worked!
I did this on my old Athlon 1GHz, very expensivve and flash when i got it, I went to make a dring and when i came back inot hte room there was a plume of somke coming out of the open case!! SHIT!! i pulled out the power and had a look. This small component on the motherboard had burnt off its plastic cover, and had left a massive heat mark on the motherboard. I bought a new Athlon and pluggeed in the fan this time and that motherboard still worked! still working now to post this actually!:D
Thats using username@host.com.
That was an internet explorer vunerability in which it didnt display anything after the @ in the status bar if you used a certian symbol in the username part of the link. it was a while back, but the slashdot story search isnt working properly so i cant find the link...
the point is the link says earthlink.net but really its just the same as your hyperlink "this". it doensnt make my broswer try and resolve the word "this". Its this trick that catches people the most. If a company really does need details off you they will give you steps like
do this to reconfirm your data:
1)go to ebay's website
2) sign in
3) etc....
Unless they had the local DNS entry spoofed somehow (using activeX in OE to edit hosts file??... o u c h!!) then thats o.k.
nah, you see, what you have to do is go insert>hyperlink and paste something like shell:c:\windows\explorer.exe in the hyperlink box and then click ok. It will then pass the unknown protocal off to windows like mozilla did and windows will answer. Only works on windows NT,2000, and XP though.
i've been having a lot of grief from that box and it installed SP1 twice for some reason so it might have something to do with it... i only skimmed the newsforge article. cheers for the info:)
I just tried it on XP and the shell links worked in a worse way to the windows 2000 system. At the same time IE also was affected by this in the same ways as mozilla, apart from the DoS style attack.
The mozilla guys are being slated for what is blatantly a windows bug and i woulodnt be surprised if this link technique also worked in word and excel.
if you look at his UK pictures, they're all in london and if you put them on a map most of them are within 2 or 3 square miles of each other. I havent been to london much but i spotted a few he missed too like the one practically on the LSE campus and another round the back streets of the southbank near the tate modern. i hope his job pays well!!
I thought the main reasons to be open source was so that
1)you can get help from developers across the world and
2)so that the code can be scrutinised by many eyes and bugs can be very quickly patched.
without a myriad of good guys being able to scrutinise the genetic structure of the plants the badguys are more likely to find an unpatched weakness, opposed to having to disassemble and map the plants genetic structure first.
This raises the question: is open source only effective when there are more good guy than bad guys?
less than 256MB and the latest Linux distros are pretty un-responsive as a desktop. Blame the newer KDE/GNOME.
This is what i dont get. I run a TERMINAL SERVER which usually has 2 simultaneous clients on a 550Mhz AMD k62 with a meager 192MB of RAM. I have Mandrake 10 installed and evryone uses KDE it also runs fine. Im using it right now. infact the more i use the machine KDE seems to get faster and faster and the computer hardly ever swaps. I also have Apache running in the background and occaisionally a samba server. Performance is great.
i wonder if the Distro people intentionally bloat the minimum specs as they are common in modern PCs and it allows for the most optimum performance? They are not out to make money so quoting bare minimun sepcs to try to appeal to evryone isnt really in the Distros interest. If the user tries the distro on bare minimum specs and thinks its slow theyll try something else.
Linux suits my needs and it runs ok on my hardware. If it doesnt run on your 486 dont be so surprised as the slowest processors you can buy today are the early athlon XPs and the going modern system is essentially who distributions are aiming at. Why else does mandrake compile its distro for i586?
What would Scotland use were it to become independent
why of course they would move onto 3 letters and have.sco
im guessing that with an inevitable licence fee that a certian company would try to impose, domains for scotland would be around, say 379.69 GBP per year?
it is my impression that recently all these amendments were voted out of the law and that now the origional law on software patents is going to be passed. This is a bad day in the fight for freedom to innovate and create in software.
I think the biggest obstacles have been things like multimedia, peripheral access, software compatibility (some of it Windows' fault, some of it the software's fault), cost, and scalability. And then there's *laptops*, which breaks the whole model.
USB devices can be mapped to the server. Im not sure how but dedicated thin clients ive seen have had this option and it has been backed up on #ltsp. Laptops can be set to boot from network then progress to the hdd if no DHCP server sending a kernel location can be found.
where a stub PC running a stub OS can interact with USB/1394 peripherals as well as process multimedia streams locally
LTSP does this. It runs
a barebones linux filesystem over NFS, as mensioned earlier USB mapping (not sure of firewire) and it can send some apps to be processed locally with NFS swap to back it up:)
But then we'd need a real, multi-user based Windows OS
somehow, i havent figured it out yet, my college has one using netware and wondows server 2003... go figure!:)

so it's almost like importing a windows IE/Web insecurity into Moz.
:)
It is in fact an IE insecurity too as i just tested it with internet explorer and windows 2000 at this link: http://www.mccanless.us/mozilla/mozilla_bugs.htm
so it is infact an OS vunerability and not browser specific. Infact, we have a patch and IE doesnt. That makes me feel good

id love one if you get one! email dark_shadowz at tiscali dot co dot uk
ummm, it actually is :) problem sorted
file>import
and as for the different profile directories, their listed on the release notes page under "changes you should be aware of"
Give current port 25 users 2 or 3 weeks to apply before blocking it so you dont annoy them and your sorted, really.

it must add RAM too as there are no DIMMs in the motherboard in any of the shots!
absolutely splendifferous! i want one!

did you notice the clever editing of the vidoes?
The part where after folding the first wing the paper is magically moved over to the other side in a split second?
how precise do you reckon the initial starting position of the paper will be though?
sorry to spoil it for you all but cant it wait until morning? its like 11:26PM over here. there will be no one in that office!!
D'OH!

in this one a subdirectory of their home directory is wine-20040408.
they could at least have made an effort.
How is LTSP different from a diskless machine + a boot CD/Flash Drive/USB Drive with XDMCP query in the startup scripts?
:)
it loads what would be on the CD/whatever into RAM over a network and allows setup of X settings etc from the server
I think the biggest obstacles have been things like multimedia, peripheral access, software compatibility (some of it Windows' fault, some of it the software's fault), cost, and scalability. And then there's *laptops*, which breaks the whole model.

He's saying X forwarding uses more bandwidth than an Rdesktop connection. Can make the difference between having to use 100mbps and 1000mbps networks
