It's just letting you know someone else is playing zork and happens to be in the same location. I didn't write the ability to actually interact with other users yet. I kind of got side tracked by other shiny things.
What? Las Vegas has to be about one of the most technologically backwards cities in the US. A very poor tech market indeed, and as a special bonus, low pay. One of my network engineer friends out here recently had to move to Arkansa because THEY had more of a tech field than Las Vegas.
Take it from a resident.. Las Vegas != Technology.
Perhaps, but the water table is 1000 feet below the planned waste storage location, which is also 1000 feet below the surface. Besides, even if the water table were to rise, there are man made barriers to prevent it from touching the waste.. First the tunnel itself, and if that's comprimised the waste container itself was designed with many layers of corrosion resistant materials to contain the waste safely for ten thousand years..
Besides, even if the water system were contaminated, Nevada gets it's water from Arizona.. It's just the Californian's who have to worry::grin::
Cheap old cisco router?? what are you on drugs? A cisco 2500 doesn't go for cheap and it's older technology.. you could easily buy a new PIII system for the same price range.
Also Cisco IOS 11.3 and above support NAT, etc.. so why bother?
Yes it is a cool idea.. I'll probably try it out just for the hell of it, but you can trust I'll be putting Cisco IOS back on there after the novelty wore off.
Very true... I've heard this one far too many times.. I've given up trying to explain to users that there was no windows 97, and even if there was we didn't install anything but windows 95 (and now NT 4.0) on the users machines.
I think the year based version system is bad, as products do not get updated once a year... hell I've come out with 7 new revisions to my program in the past few months.
This is true. Mailing something has to be one of my least liked things to do. I will put off sending something until the last minute. I have a package for a friend of mine from last christmas which I still have not mailed... He'll be here eventually, screw it.. he can pick it up himself.
However, when it comes to getting a worth while response from someone or some company, you cannot help but beat a actual physical letter. e-mail means nothing and can easily be blown off. However for someone to take the time and write a letter and mail it, they have to take notice.
What we use is a hybrid system which backs everything up to disk quickly, then durring the day moves things off to tape. ADSM by IBM. When you have a dozen large UN*Xen boxes, about 60+ NT servers, and a dozen Novell servers, scattered about on different properties, it's the only way to do things.
We were running into the 16million record database size limitation on Arcserve, and also our backups were not finishing in time. ADSM, while rather expensive, was a job saver.
You could surely do something similar with the available free GNU utilities, and some smart perl scripting.
Awhile back Carver had a Ribbon speaker which was flat... the speakers were pretty cool looking but rather on the expensive side.. Here is a link with several manufactures of ribbon speakers
That makes the task of sending threatening letters, religious panphlets, and nazi hate propaganda to my neighbors that much easier. With the task automated like this I'll have much more time to devote towards gathering memebers for my death cult. Laugh...
Seriously though... I thought there was already an accepted standard for printing via tcp/ip. Just about every device and operating system has direct support for LPR printing. Even the Neoware network computers can emulate an LPR printer for the LPT port they have on the back of them. Isn't that the whole point of RFC1179?
I love MST3K. Unfortunately I rarely get a chance to watch it anymore. I use to work as a technician fixing PCs and junk, and we had cable in the shop. I was there alone on Saturdays and would watch it every week. The show was/is great.
I remember many a time when I was literally crying I was laughing so hard.
I would hate to see the show go, so I for one tend to start making it a point to watch MST3K on Saturdays.
Pretty damn cool. Always knew Samba was cool. Very impressed (though not surprised) on the benchmarks. I'll have to play around with it to see how well it works and how nicely it integrates with NT, for that matter, Netware since I saw the binaries for that as well.
They did ask for donations, but for those who also want to feel they have 'gotten' something for their money they can order some CDs as well. Of course one of the great things about KFMF is that you can download all their music online, and not have to buy anything. The CDs are cool because not only do they look and sound cool, it saves the time to download a gig+ worth of data.
CD's cost about a buck or so to produce in mass, so they are still making some money to put towards server hardware/bandwidth, and $12 for a CD is still a good price considering all the music you get.

someone post the same article under linux, quick!
I thought it was still in beta... has been for well over a year..

Oh great, so that means it likely won't work for Linux, FreeBSD, or one of the many other open source OSes..
Sounds like a great market strategy to me.
Well, for those interested.. it kind of works even.. I hooked up the sacrificial virgin.. an old Cisco 2501 w/ 8MB and here are the results:

I had always planned on making a case out of a milk crate.
Saddly I've seen 100x CDROM drives.. there's another thing where the x multiplier is esentially meaningless. 100x.. come on...
I still have an 8x

I'm goint to start dating my checks January ##, 0 or even 1900 just to see if it causes an issue..
