  1. Funny Story on Blackboard and WebCT merge · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The university I went to decided to use blackboard as part of there student-teacher interactions. They (being the university administration) decided however that whatever material was put onto blackboard became property of the university, not the lecturers. Needless to say the adoption and use of blackboard by the faculty is almost zero.

  2. Re:Stupid on Protothreads and Other Wicked C Tricks · · Score: 1

    my current development target has no OS, runs at 8MHz, and has 4kbytes of memory

    Sounds like damn luxury to me. My current project has 2kbytes ram, 4.9MHz clock. And they need it to do math(add, multiply, divide) on 30 odd 64-bit variables.

    Young people these days just don't know how good they've got it.

  3. Re:Slowing down dictionary attacks on OpenSSH 4.2 released · · Score: 4, Informative

    I personally use the following to limit the number of connection attempts on my SSH server. The limit is set for only 3-connections in a minute, the first 2 exhaust the limit-burst, which then takes a minute to refill, effectively limiting the connection attempt rate to 1/minute.

    iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -m limit --limit 3/minute --limit-burst 2 -j ACCEPT

  4. Paladins on Ask Questions of the World of Warcraft Team · · Score: 1

    Are paldin's ever going to get the love they deserve from the Dev's. Reading, only briefly from http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/board.aspx?fn=wo w-paladin it's easy to see that they really do need some attention now.

  5. Real-time on Google Offers Hybrid Satellite and Map View · · Score: 1

    They can provide us with satellite overlay but where is my real-time video feed with traffic overlay so I can decide what route to take that isn't blocked.

    Microsoft is paying everybody to stay on Windows

    No, we pay microsoft for the privilege of staying on Windows - fact.

  7. Re:When I was your age... on DECnet Isn't Dead · · Score: 1

    Why, when I was your age, we had to walk ten miles to school, program in BASIC, and the games we played were based on revolutionary 8 bit technology! We didn't have an "internet." Internet schminternet, give me a text based BBS for my Hayes 3 Baud modem, and I can download over pixilated porn till the cows come home. And we liked it!

    The sad thing is if you make the modem 2400 baud, and maybe a walk of 2 miles to school, that is pretty much what I can remember it being like. In fact I remember when BBS's started sending the ANSI color codes and that was a big thing, especially having the color monitor to see them.
