anyways, me would NOT leave APT heaven for RPM hell.. To be honest though, the only CentOS server we have here - an Asterisk server - is rock stable. So i'm on the CentOS++ side myself.
>> I set up Ubuntu server as a test. I found it to be a big pain. A lot of packages I wanted where not in the repositories so I spent a lot of time compiling stuff and chasing libraries.
As someone who administers around 80 ubuntu servers, i'd like to hear more on that.. Which packages werent in the repos??
If your organization isn't using some combination of HTML, XML, CSS, Javascript, XSLT, XPath, ActionScript (1, 2, or 3!), SVG, and other web languages, well, WTF??
You call that a list of computer programming languages??
HTML and XML are data formats for christs sakes.. CSS?? LMAO
XSLT, Xpath?? WTF??
Sorry to inform you that languages have variables first of all.. loops.. some implementation of procedures/functions..
Enough with the buzzwords sheeeeshh
Just ask yourselves a question? On what lang would you standardize 2 years ago?? 5 years ago?? 10?? 15?? standardization that changes every couple of years due to vast technological changes isn't standardization after all.. Who would choose C# 5 years ago as the standard?? Java 10 years ago?? It makes no sense..
Since i'm living there, I'll try to give some info as packed as possible... 104 phones of 46 people were targeted for 10-11 months approximately (April 2004 - early March 2005)
the list of these people's name was publiced on Thursday (2nd February 2006).. It includes: the prime minister, minister of defence, major of athens, high officials, an attorney, lawyers of political prisoners, human rights activists, well-known anarchists and radical leftists, one al jazeera journalist, arab businessmen and journalists that covered the war on Iraq.
On 7th March 2005, a high Vodafone executive discovers the suspected software running on certain phone-lines... On 8th March the same man shuts down the suspected software. On 9th March the vice-president of the IT department of Vodafone is found hanged in his house.. It was considered a suicide.. Next day, on 10th March 2005 Vodafone informs the greek government..
On Thursday 2nd February 2006, a newspaper reveals the whole thing.. Some hours later, greek governement confirms what the newspaper writes.. Greek minister of public security gives a 3-hour press conference.. During that conference, he reveals that those who used the suspected software were in an area surrounded by 4 specific antennas in the center of athens.. That area covers around 1 square kilometre.. There are few houses, some hospitals, some schools in that area, but most importantly the US embassy as well as the British embassy..
The Greek public here is certain that the US secret services are the guilty..
That is a tight summary of what has been revealed here, hope it enlightened you in some way
first of all pls define "child"... The majority of societies have defined the 18th year of an individual's life as a threshold... anyone knows how did this come? Because AFAIK nature strongly disagrees and makes females able to reproduce at a much earlier age... Moreover, i don't know about USA with christian-conservatism that has arised there recently, but in Europe the majority of boys and girls start their sexual experiences earlier than this threshold..
furthermore, pornography is NOT a crime by itself.. or else pls convict De Sade, Nabokov (for lolita) and many others.. sadly, US courts are capable of even that..
As for the making=burning debate, i really don't get it.. What is the important difference of downloading ("making" a file on a HDD) and burning ("making" a file on a CD-ROM).. What about USB sticks, Magnetic Tape and other storage media?
It is society's collective hypocrisy to throw a porn-downloader in jail, while flooding Thailand with sex-tourists every damn summer
You risk lower quality and increased maintenance costs
Pardon me sir and nothing personal, but I don't give a SHIT about maintenance costs...
Since when do you people care so much about maintenance costs? That Raymond-dude really got into your brains didn't he?
If it's fun to use and doesn't break other things, put it in the god-damn kernel
And let the blood-sucking companies care or not about costs
Where's your hacker spirits for christ's sakes??
Pentium III 800Mhz 256MB RAM some nvidia-based card with 64MB a Pixelview BTTV-based card Gigabit ethernet a CRT Nokia 19'' a DVD-ROM of course
This is my "media" linux box.
Now why do we call it "media" is beyond me. Gets stuff from the file server and plays it smoothly..
Music, Video, TV, Radio With some nice Logitech speakers
May seem crazy but when i buy a new computer, it becomes a server.. after a while that gets a little outdated hardware-wise it becomes a desktop and finally what the market today calls a "media" PC. Why do the whole planet seems to do it the other way around is once more beyond me..
What the fuck for?? In 40 years time we 'll be able to store stuff in god knows what?? I won't be surprised if the standard storage will be dust on the corner of your mama's basement, USB-35 mobile condomns or the hair of our assholes..
Re:Greylisting cleared this thing away for me

Spam is Dead

· Score: 1
Adding my experience to that... Greylisting and in my case the postfix-oriented implementation of it called postgrey solved the problem 99.9% I was amazed at the ease of configuring it, at the success in stopping almost all spam and more importantly at the fact that it need practically no maintenance after the first week which goes with whitelisting..

PostgreSQL?? solved
Webmin?? hmmm...

are you sure about that?
what if we then parse the file searching for comment using... ahem... PERL and insert them into a MySQL database..
Will apostrophs still be friends?
Don't forget that this year will bring Linux on the desktop
you mean you use it for something else than ASCII-art?? and if yes, i would be really curious to know
Maybe the whole Vista thing should be disabled for security reasons?
Lucky bastard
