  1. This is why on Interoperability Tests of Draft 802.11n Routers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is why you wait for it to be a standard.. and not a draft.... anyone buying 802.11n stuff should realize that they are paying to be beta testers

    oh no doubt .. nothing can replace the real one... but somethings can come damn close

  3. Re:Finally, contracts ... on Xerox Reveals Transient Documents · · Score: 1

    that is why you do a dual printing.. do the contract on one printer and then the sig on another printer with a diffrent toner makeup and then go over the sig with a ballpoint that is out of ink..

    might take you a few tries to get it right but it works..

  6. Re:RBLs and not getting your mail on How To Fight Spam Using Your Postfix Configuration · · Score: 1

    I agree with the spamassassin box in front of the exchange server.

    for my work domain. I have two virtual slackware boxes running that do nothing but take mail clamav and spamassassin and then forward it to exchange.. we get about 1-2 messages a second per box and most of them are spam - exchange is a very nice work group server and the integration between outlook - mobile devices and OWA is quite nice - it has it's issues and security holes but I find that using linux spam filters and having exchange only except inbound connections from them removes most of the exploitable issues.

    i feel that neither linux nor ms have the best solution but for us a soulution of both works Quite well

  7. Re:Solution to the WRONG problem! on Will Solve Captcha for Money? · · Score: 1

    the only way to completely stop the money is to stop idiots from using computers..

    public stonings come to mind.. but some would feel it is harsh.. and am sure would send some chain mail about it, so we would lose some types.. and gain another.

    personaly. screw backwards compatability.. we need a new type of mail system.. one where you can be sure of the source..

    i could see it if it was something related to the message board,,,

    something that has the topic about electronics could have somethign like that.. it might also help keep idiots off..

    "a Biometric Encryption USB Flash Drive" && " device has highest level of encryption in the world" != sence

    you realize that USB is nothing but a huge unsecured network.. all someone would have to do is place their own device on the USB network on the computer that is using it.. listen and get the key and after that just repeate it for access without the person.. i am sorry but no... if someone wanted to get the data all it would take is alittle planning..

    also the Idea of highest level of encryption.. the nubmer of bits and shit don't matter if they are predictable.. look at blowfish.. >400 bits.. and cracked faster than i can make lunch..

    i had that issue with dvd's once..

    i went and bought a box set.. 3 of the 5 discs wouldn't play. i take them back and they had the policy of no refunds so i exchanged it.. same thing same discs that didnt' work.. again they wouldn't let me return it at all..

    after fighting my way to a district manager they findly put the damn dvd's in there players and realized - they didn't work.. he got worried because he realized he had a larger problem than i did.. i got my refund

    on top of that most schools don't have an admin at all the district will have one or two that are responsiable for the head office and all the schools.. they get sucked up in the head office and never make it out to the schools who are left to fend for them selves and no money

  20. Re:Yeah but... on 16GB Flash USB Dongle · · Score: 1

    flash memory has a limited number of writes and unlimited reads.. most flash memory has it's own way of moving the writes around so that you ware it out evenly

    but the chance that you will hit that is low.. personaly i find that usb flash drives die due to the usb controler cip on the drive and not the flash memory..

    since you decied to post that comment as your own i will assume that you agree with it..

    winrar is far from free but so is the 10 cent cup of coffee you can get. 20/0 = .10/0

    and as for the whole rar being a data wrapper.. it is far better than propritary dats and bkf as well more than one thing can read them and it is documentted.. it is no diffrent than zip.. or is that also not an option.. how about tar.. or hell the file system.. that is norhing more than a data wraper in the sence.

    i am sorry but if the orginal poster of the question isn't even willing to shell out even the littlest bit for some ones time then let him feel free to make it him self - i see too many people that want free tools to do this and that and look endlessly because they don't want to pay for anything and yet they have never given back.....

    7zip is free but 20-30$ for winrar isn't bad considering what you get.. i never liked 7zip so much as it feels like it was someones attempt at making an all in one but not excelling at any of them..

    winrar is very clean - stable - fast and is quite good at handling croupt archives, but each to their own.
