The only way he can board a plane is with a written and formal permission to leave from the foreing affairs minister of the UK. With this permission he will be able to board a plane in company of an Ecuadorean diplomat.
sorry but the point, I think, is for microsoft not only to "sting" the servers and finding the infected computers.... what are they doing in order to prevent those computers to become infected? I think the problems should be addressed from several parts.. stinging the command and control will only relief for some time... in a few days or weeks, another virus or trojan will infect pcs again and so on... what is Microsoft doing in order to avoid PCs to be infected.
meeting in a club is no indication of how old is ham radio. There (We) are a lot of hamradio operators with 1/2 of the age you state.. Im 37... and being a ham since 18... but I do not like to go to clubs but investigate about antennas, CW and QRP.. visiting a club to gossip with other members is not my kind
Everybody can talk, but CW is an art. you are invited to join www.skccgroup.com to improve your CW skills step by step.
I learnt CW when I was 12, and got my first Ham license when I was 18, I returned to hamradio last year.. after more than 12 years not using it and after tasting digital modes.. Im back to CW.. it is sooo nice.
besides that, SL-6 is not as close to RHEL as CentOS, for example, I was not able to install SL-6 as a domU into a Xen dom0 2 weeks ago.. right now I easily installed CentOS-6 as a domU in the very same dom0. SL simply forgets several things, CentOS people are much more closer to RHEL-6 in this way.
nope, there are not north korean hams, this is one of the most wanted countries. It is only operated very sporadically by foreign UN workers. Something is not correct in your story.
I have been running a hosting service for 6 years now. We are quite happy with the incomes.. ok, if you only see that you are earning a lot, then you are done.
however it is not easy to:
1- wake up at 2AM because a customer in Spain (we are in latin america) screwed the whole system because of some sort of rabbit process or
2- same.. with databases going wild and crashing
3- customer calling EVERY day with problems with their emails.. emails that are for sure sent but never arrive... you check the logs and mails are there..just that they somehow never readed it. This is the biggest problem.. mails not arriving, customers unable to check themselves or to read what: quota exceeded, or error dest@domain.com> unbalanced >, or user unknown.. it is a royal pain.
4- resellers? A royal pain, we are getting rid of them and hosting or direct customers.. resellers pays little, demands huge and move to another service as soon as they find the other place gives them 50c/mo disscount.
5- invoicing customers? getting payments from them? IT IS HARD. We have a motto: if the customer does not want to pay on time, then he does not consider our job and must be suspended.
We warn the customer 4 times 30,1 5,7 days before expiration and the day of expiration.. We suspend them 1-3 days after the expiry date... hardly any one can pay before the expiry date.
The funny thing comes later: "you are trying to blackmail me because you suspended my site", "I never got the mail (we keep copies of the warning mails)", etc... in any case, most of them pays.. quite upset because of "the blackmail".. and I wonder myself.. did they call the telco and say the same things when they forget to pay for the phone bills? And the electricity company? We have detected that some of the customers ask you "reactivate me and then I will pay" this is the usual phrase(ok, in several flavours) to say you: "I wont pay you, I just want to take my site off you and ran away" it is a pain, actually.
6- spam: oh god.. this is hard... "why Im receiving spam?" "Im getting like 5 spam mails/day, this is unbeareable", etc, etc, etc.. then setup an antispam service (let's say greylisting): "why are my mails delayed for days?" (days, not minutes... they always exagerate the issues).
7- lack of evidence: NONE of the emails accounts from NOBODY of my company works: This is the most useless phrase I have ever seen.. like if exagerating the problem is the right way to solve it.. at the end, when they explain the problem it is something related to point 3 in one account not in every. We then tend to ignore other claims from the same customer as we know it is a false positive.
They never call, except for complaining.. your server could be working 24x7 for, let's say 10 months.. then your server hiccup because of a bastard running an unoptimized sql query... be ready, calls will rain... specially the "Im running a 10000usd/hour business, you do not have idea of how much I have been affected by this 5 minutes of downtime" we wonder, in front of them "why if you are having such a profitable business will you run your website on a 48usd/year shared hosting"? why dont you rent us a dedicated or vps? Some of them have rented it.. other immediatly start whinning: oh, money is so scarce, we actually are almost broke, etc, etc.
profits are nice, in our case... dealing with the technical details are quite nice... we learn a lot, we get in touch with a lot of interesting customers and situations... but dealing with support is a pain in the ass.
sorry for such a long post... but I was actually needing to let all this shit come out...
RHEL 3 is still supported by RedHat, and will continue until Oct 31, 2007, check here:
http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/
Of course, maybe those places/people running rhel3 has chosen not to update it and it is not updated but my opinion is that RHEL3 is not out of date yet.
If Cuba is allowed to trade freely, there would be a possibility that life in Cuba would be better (or not, of course), and that could be perceived as other economical systems (not seen now by cubans) being good, productive, efficient. People will realize how can things be if Cuba becomes a country like "the others".
Another example of how foreing penetration can help: a tourist coming to Cuba from, lets say Spain or Mexico, some of the tourists are not wealthy men, millionaries (like people used to think years ago in Cuba)... some of them are clerks, maybe a taxi driver, etc... so people start thinking: Why me, a cuban, with a masters degree, or maybe Phd, or with college education, can not travel outside and visit foreing countries like this ecuadorean taxi driver? (in fact I met one in Guayaquil who visited Cuba)
As people realize things are not 100% perfect in the cuban paradise, then they try to find their way out.
It is not about being executed, or obeying castro's mandates.. but about some rights or desires you can not fullfil there.
I used to live in Cuba, since day 0 of my life. I have been living outside Cuba for 8 years now. This is what I feel. Embargo, or like they say back in Cuba: Blockade, is not the way... actually. Because people feels like if they are being attacked by the US. And this feeling tends to help gather people against the "aggressor". Easying the sanctions, or lifting will really help to speed up the transition.
It is illegal in almost every south american country.
Here in Ecuador VoIP is considered a Value added service and you should have a permission to operate it. Ciber cafes must pay a monthly/yearly fee to the local telco in order to operate. For example 50usd/month or depending on the amount of calls processed. Oh yes, you can only originate calls. You can not be the end point (that would be considered bypassing and you will be jailed for sure).
The goal? To protect the local telcos.
For example, before the VoIP wave, a call to USA would cost around 1.50 USD/minute. Then the ciber cafes started offering calls at 39c/minute and local telcos saw a danger in it, they had to reduce their enormous profits in order to cope with that rate and attrack customers.
Oh yes bypassing (sending phone calls traffic vía internet and delivering it to the local facilities) is illegal as well and no way to obtain a permission for it.
Local telcos can use and use digital means to distribute their traffic. But only in between them, the authorised telcos.
And why all this? Well, the "national interests are being affected". "Local telcos belong to people and people lost if traffic goes thru voip." What they don't see is that they have their companies employing large quantity of personel (more than the recommended) and of course with very high salarial budgets and of course they cant compete against voip operators, they don't see that they can reduce the cost per minute a lot (they should be paying international carriers less than 5c/minute and earning at the moment more than 35c/minute) and if they reduce it, calls will increase and earnings too. Also, competittion is good. Some VoIP operators have bad quality but at least people will be able to choose from where to call.
The world is changing, this stupid prohibitions will be dropped some day as the governements must understand the internet is here to stay and a lot of laws and things must be conciliated with the way internet works.

I just installed centos-6 as a domU... the kernel package includes xen. But RedHat will support xen only as a domU.
use corosync instead, the alternative to heartbeat, in CentOS-5 it was not included by default, now in CentOS-6 you can install it from base.
besides that, SL-6 is not as close to RHEL as CentOS, for example, I was not able to install SL-6 as a domU into a Xen dom0 2 weeks ago.. right now I easily installed CentOS-6 as a domU in the very same dom0.

a real and maintained multisite wordpress will be more than welcomed for hosting companies, so an easy upgrade can be achieved.
AOL does the same as yahoo... when their customers, instead of unsubscribing, they simply flag the mail as spam.

Ramón Castro is his bigger brother, but he is not .. how to say.. actively involved in politics.
I guess you were trying to say Raúl.
