  1. Re:Like BBSes - the range is too short on Happy World Amateur Radio Day · · Score: 1

    Over here in Australia, the Advanced class has a lot more privileges than the Standard class - compare the frequencies and permitted modes for Advanced versus Standard. Also Advanced are allowed 400W pX for modes C3F, J3E or R3E and 120W pY otherwise, whereas the Standard class only permits 100W for modes J3E and R3E and 30W pY otherwise.

    That's likely to be 50kph, which is close enough to 30mph. The speed limit here in South Australia is 60kph on 'main' roads and 50kph on suburban streets.

    Actually, Xen is not at all similar to a BSD jail, no matter how you look at it. Xen does full OS virtualization from the kernel and drivers on down to userland. A FreeBSD is basically chroot on steroids. The "virtualized" processes run exactly the same as "native" ones, they just have some restrictions on their system calls, that's all.

    Precisely.

    Similar products in the Linux space are Linux Vserver (which I use) and OpenVZ.

    Well, as a licenced amateur, I have a federal licence authorising me to operate up to 120W in the lower part of the 2.4GHz band. As a licenced secondary user, that makes my packets more legitimate than those of the unlicenced device. They must not cause any interference and accept any they receive.

    My first was around the end of '98. Looking at the RH release history it was probably late November '98. One of the guys I chatted to on IRC burned me a copy of RH4 on CD but the computer would not read it. I figured the disc was screwy so I went out and bought a retail copy of RH5.2

    At the time I was using NT4 workstation on an old (even then) 486DX2-66 with 4Mb of RAM as a mail server for myself and parents while I was at uni, on a perm dial-up link. It would take 30 seconds to check the POP account over a 10Mb LAN connection, longer if there was actually any mail. After installing RH5.2 on that machine when I checked my mail the dialog box appeared and disappeared faster than I could see it. I had to press send-and-receive a couple of times and send myself an email to believe it had actually done it!

    Needless to say, I haven't use Windows on any server since.

    You don't have an editor that can show whitespace? You know, the faded out dots for spaces and arrows for tabs?

    And in any event, that as posted should still work as the tab character indents to the next tab stop, which is 8 spaces by default.

    Best experience has been with 10for10.com / Simpli.biz. Small mom-and-pop type business yet they're located in the silicon valley with their equipment in one of the best datacenters on the west coast. Doesn't get any better than that!

    Hmm, 10for10.com redirects to for10.com which seems to be some sort of parking service.

    You're the second person (with only 10 comments) to recommend simpli.biz, but it just gives me a blank page when I try to load it. I'm not sure how it could get much better than that! :/

    You do realise you can copy the .config file from your old config and then run a 'make oldconfig' and it will use that .config file and only prompt you for items that don't exist in the old one?

    Granted, in a 2.4 -> 2.6 change this might be quite a few, but still not as many as doing it from scratch.
