  1. Re:Use Apache! on Apache Cookbook · · Score: 1

    mod_mono is an apache (1.3, 2) module that lets you run asp.net applications (aspx pages, http modules, web services, etc.) using mono.

  2. Re:RSS is largely useless. on Content Syndication With RSS · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try magpierss.
    Easy as heck to use: Just drop it in the source directory, add 3 lines of php code to the html and you're good to go.

  3. Re:Potential feature? on Mozilla 1.2.1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Check out the mycroft project at mozdev. Goes waay beyond the Google toolbar. If you really want the GOogle toolbar, get it from here.

  4. Re:encrypted proxy on Browse All You Want At Work · · Score: 3, Informative

    Sure. Set up squid on your home box, and do

    ssh -L 3128:localhost:3128

    set localhost:3128 as your proxy address.

  5. Essay by Moshe Bar on the subject on Is Mac OS X Slow? · · Score: 1

    There's an essay at byte.com written by Moshe bar comparing the performance of Linux and MacOSX from a server point of view. Very interesting read.

  6. Re:Come get some karma... on Root Zone Changed · · Score: 3, Informative

    The root zone corresponds to the '.' at the very end of the domain names. The root name servers have records for .com,.org, and the national (.uk,.dk etc.) etc. DNS servers. If you ping cr.yp.to (DJB's domain), for example, and your DNS server has never seen a .to domain before, it'll query one of the root name servers for a name server authoritative for .to.

  7. Re:grsecurity on Additional Security in the Linux Kernel? · · Score: 1

    Other apps that need to be chpax -p 'ed:

    soffice.bin,spadmin.bin in openoffice
    all sun jdk binaries (java, javac etc.) (1.4.0 is working perfectly for me on grsec 1.9.5)

    I figure that most apps that fail mysteriously with a 'Killed' message usually need to be chpaxed.

  8. Re:OT: PBUH?? on Copy That Floppy? Go To Jahannum (Hell) · · Score: 1

    Close. It means 'may Peace be upon him'.

  9. Re:Mozilla just keeps getting cooler. on Xft Support For Mozilla · · Score: 3, Informative

    Check out http://www.mozilla.org/projects/ui/accessibility/m ozkeyplan.html. It's got the exaustive list of keyboard shortcuts for Mozilla. (Works with mozilla, though).

  10. Check out Microsoft's tools on LDAP Tools - Where are they? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I know I'll get flamed like hell for writing this, but I suggest that you check out Microsoft's LDAP tools. I'm not sure about their interoperability with slapd etc, but they play along amazingly with Microsoft LDAP server.

    Also, check out gq , which is a pretty nice GTK+ based LDAP client. It's still very barebone, but it's better than the commandline tools for a lot of tasks.

  11. the thing that bugs me most... on Mozilla 0.9.3 Released · · Score: 1

    and should have been present from the very beginning is the lack of addressbook export support. Even though I use mozilla regularly, I maintain my addressbook in squirrelmail and import it into Mozilla. I wonder why they didn't put it in mozilla. Importing CSV files works just fine.

  12. Do what Bruce Schneier says... on The Psychology of Passwords · · Score: 1

    in his book 'Secrets and Lies'. Use random password, write them down on a piece of paper, and keep it securely in your pocket.

    I kinda agree with him. For those who're saying 'what about people looking over your shoulder?', I think you'll automatically memorize the password after you've typed it 3-4 times.

  13. Re:Is an ISO available? on OpenBSD 2.9 Released · · Score: 1

    ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/openbsd

  14. That's just perfect on Some Demote Pluto To Non-Planet · · Score: 1

    First they have Pluto living outside in a dog house while Goofy, who's a dog too, gets to sit in a cozy living room. Now this?

    Seems there's no respect for Plutos any more.

  15. wonder if on Vulnerability Assessment Scanners Comparison · · Score: 2

    nessus-update-plugins would've helped. My guess is that these people used the stock nessus installation without retrieving the latest scans.

    The two vulnerability missed by nessus are at

    http://cgi.nessus.org/plugins/dump.php3?id=10318 and

    http://cgi.nessus.org/plugins/dump.php3?id=10260

    Again, I'm no security expert, but these people should've at least updated the list.
