I don't know what DVD player you have, but my DVD-RAM media won't work anywhere else
My DVD-RAM uses a square plastic caddy like old CDROM drives. The difference is that every DVD-RAM media has it's own caddie and the caddie is supposed to be permenant... it contains the read-write tab like floppy disks have, etc.
You can sorta get around this...
Take a DVD RAM cartridge and *carefully* crack it open. You can take out the DVD disc and if you wrote a disc with a digital movie some DVD set tops will work with it. There are not many though (more sets will read the DVD+RW or -RW than a cracked DVD-RAM). This is probably why you don't see them... you can't exactly put the disc+cartridge in a DVD player and most people then turn away from them, and cracked discs don't ever work real well. And as the article said, mor ppl are expected to use them in set tops than for data
I don't know if you can put a standard DVD-/+R(W) in the cartridge and use it. If you look at the DVD-RAM disc, the coding is much different in appearence from the other standard disc's
I have a Creative DVD-RAM, which I have been pretty pissed at. Looking on the data side, of the backups I have done, I have always had files lost during the backup write. The only advantage it had was I got it pretty cheap (about $250 2 years ago)
As a person who works with energy trading systems for a living and who gets to spend time on the trading floor for IT stuff, I feel entitled to respond.
If you are referring to power brokerage, the answer is that you are mostly incorrect. A few trading systems support IP trading brokerage between similar systems, but not many. Most trades are done by telephone or (and I shit-you-not) AIM/Yahoo Messenger. we have had people actaully ask us to not let people enter deals into the trading system if the deals was wrong for some reason. (Umm, sir, if the deals has already been made, what good will it do to keep it out of the system if you don't like it? cough cough enron cough)
Now, if you are referring to power generation assets in the field communicating to a central point as to their status, I wouldn't know, because IT has kept me from using my engineering degree for a while...
I'm a ChE, but i've been out of practice for some time....
My guess would be that the compressor needed to cause a drop in temperature from the NH4OH would cause enough power loss from the engine to make it undesireable. Remember, the power for everything onboard has to come from somewhere. That's why small cars get such bad acceleration when the AC is on. Plus, the engine runs hotter than the outside air, so you would have more heat to pump. The only other option would be to increase the size of the heat dissapation area so the compressor has to do less work... but the raidator in most cars is as big as it's going to get without being mounted outside the body (and thus exposed to solar heating).
I had some issues with late-version PPC linux. I have come to rest on Debian with some help from LinuxPPC CDROM. If you are new to Linux, you may want to just use LinuxPPC 2K. Their CD installer makes getting linux working (not optimized, but just working) on PPC easy...it's by far the best in terms of user friendly for PPC that I have seen. My basic directions would go something like this
(This assumes BootX to boot to Linux)
1) Get a LinuxPPC 2000 CDROM. Boot the cdrom (no OpenFirmware crap needed, etc.... just stick it in and hold down c while you boot). You can also start from MacOS if you want (and install BootX, which you will need later)
2) Install LinuxPPC 2000. Leave yourself one partition of about 1GB that isn't mounted if you want newer system packages(i.e. Debian). Also leave yourself one partition that will keep a MacOS bootable fileset on it, if you destroyed it or want to make it a smaller partition
3) Get networking working. LinPPC 2k does this on it own for most everything, incl mac-internal or external PCI cards (remember, Macs never had ISA slots...)
And if you want the lates and greatest (LinuxPPC hasn't been really upgraded since late 2000)
4) mount the extra partition from #2 above and unzip the Debian PPC base to that folder
5) mount the MacOS boot partition. If you destroyed it installing LinuxPPC, you'll need to reinstall it. I think MacOS 7.6.1 and up will work fine. Have not tested it with MacOS X
6) Copy the kernel from/boot on the Debian base partition to the MacOS boot partition.
7) Write down the partition that holds the debian base system
8) Reboot to MacOS. Install BootX from network or LinuxPPC 2K CDROM. Place the kernel file from #6 in "System Folder"
9) Reboot. Select the kernel in System Folder as the boot kernel for Linux and put in the Debian partition into the "boot device" field in BootX
10) Hit OK, You hsould be in debian, where you can finish according to the online Debian install instructions
This is why Mac users can use Localtalk to get IP's... The Mac layers the IP packet in Localtalk (as opposed to ethernet) and then a Cayman
Gatorbox or something (Linux can do this too, i think) accepts the Localtalk packet, unwraps the IP packet and rewraps it in ethernet. Or ARP. Or X.25. Whatever
Meant ATM instead of ARP in that last line, my bad
I've seen people bitch and moan about this, so i'd just like to leave my 2 cents.
You are right that IP packet contains no info about MAC. MAC is an ethernet frame thing. BUT that IP packet is encapsulated in an ethernet frame.
You see, ethernet is a point to point protocol. I can communicate with everyone 1 hop away from me via direct ethernet (so to speak..this is oversimplified). However I cannot go farther than that. IP allows us to reach destinations beyond that and so the IP packet is layered in an ethernet frame as the data the frame is carrying.
This is why Mac users can use Localtalk to get IP's... The Mac layers the IP packet in Localtalk (as opposed to ethernet) and then a Cayman Gatorbox or something (Linux can do this too, i think) accepts the Localtalk packet, unwraps the IP packet and rewraps it in ethernet. Or ARP. Or X.25. Whatever
It's also why ARP exists. keeps track of what MAC is connected to which IP in that one-hop area.
since ethernet is a point-to-point (one-hop), the router applies it's own Mac address when it MASQ-forwardes the IP insides on to the next router in line (your ISP's). Thus, it should still never see how many unique MAC's are coming from inside your LAN (there are some cases where they can, like using a virtual interface to fwd packets...you should assume the ISP can listen to ethernet frames promiscusly at the broadband modem...)
just my thoughts, please let me know if I am wrong

a)Hello?
b)We're with Comcast. We found that you are using multiple computer over your connection via NAT. Comcast is fining you for TOS violation and your new rate is now $150/mo
c) But i'm not
d) We have blah blah blah proof that you are
e) No, I just run virtual machines on my one system. It the same computer, just running different operating systems at the same time. I was running my completely-approved MacOS with Virtual-PC open to Win98 which was running VMWare with Linux as a kind of side project to see how running a virtual machine in an emulator affects performance.
f) oh

They can't differentiate if you have multiple machines or one machine with multiple OS's unless you NAT a LOT of machines....
I did a google search for PLERT10 and PLEBR10. The first guy is the standard router described here, the second is the bridge that "everything else" needs to participate as a client.
One of the articles had speculative prices. The router was $179 (decent price), and the bridge was $149(!!!)
The router price is a tad expensive, but I'm not paying $150 for everything else that needs to participate on the network....
You are right on all accounts. but in a way, I think this is good.
Science has shown that genetic diversity leads to more prosperous life. The last great development here was sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction, which obviously, in terms of creating a diversity of life succeeded quite remarkibly. Do you think the first sexual species sat around and went
Do you think we should have sex? It's not our place to play god!
What's wrong with assexual reproduction? It's worked so far, and we're still here!
etc...
Now, humans have the ability to be the next species that ascends the genetic diversity barrier. Because we can go beyond a mix of genetics of two orgnasims. We create whatever we want genitically. Yes, there will be downsides and failures, but this is nature. How many species have become extinct since life began? How many stillbirths due to genetic issues since life began? How many died because they had not enough toes, lack of camoflauge pigmentation, etc.
With exponentially greater variances in genetic diversity we'll have to be prepared for exponentially greater errors. But what will matter most is the exponentially greater advancement of all life.
I'm saying that if, in order to get the credit card vendor to let you charge a customer for a hot dog you need to get their SSN, then that SSN will be recorded with the other information.
It doesn't matter how many pieces of information are required to confirm a credit sale, all those pieces have to be stored so they can be passed on to MasterCard or whoever. And since they are stored, they can be accessed.
Does _all_ the information for the sale need to be stored? probably not, but merchants tend to do it anyway in case there is an issue with the billing or for one-clikc shopping (or, in Disney's case, room-card-swipe shopping)
Any information needed to make a purchase is stored. Typically up until now it has been CC# and exp date. As you mentioned, more information is being required now to make the same purchase.
However, for one click shopping, etc. that many online retailers have (where no signature is required or signature is on a digital pad), they still have to store all that extra information, because it's needed to authenticate the purchase. So when anyone stumbles across your database, they still have the access to the information they need, they just need to grab 5 columns instead of 2.
The only method you mentioned that would solve this is faxing the signatures. And if the signature is digital (UPS, MicroCenter, etc), it's probably stored as a LOB in the database in a picture format anyway, and the Hacker now has a printable version of your signature. Also, most e-tailers don't have your signature because it's impracticle to get it from you. Remember, just because your CC was stolen from somewhere that needs a signature, it can still be used somewhere that doesn't
If someone was attempting to break into a wireless network, should you be able to find the access point they are using and triangulate the signal they are broadcasting with based on what channel they are communication to the base station with? This is how the FCC finds unlicenced raido stations, etc...
Granted the signal is weaker, but you can really narrow the search by inly examining the area around the base station the person is using..
Strange as this may sound, I actually don't know much about them. I grew up with Macs and started using *nix in college. I don't know a lot of the DOS commands and items like that that they had me run.
ifconfig? no prob! OpenAccess/MacTCP? sure! winipconfig.. uhhhhh...never heard of it
I do know some stuff on NT but I don't have an NT based OS at home. The TCP guts setup is different (and, quite frankly, the only reason it's there is for RR and some games). I'm not going to change it to an NT based OS either because it also serves as my WINE environment (unless WINE supports 2K).
I don't reboot the MacOS machine because that computer serves public FTP, mail, and security logging for my domain. The only reason it has MacOS on it is for BootX (Old-world machine).
No, I used to let my modem pull down a DHCP and then set it to static so I can host a domain name from it, but RR changed someting in the way they serve DHCP so I get dropped of the network much more quickly (hours) that I used to (3-4 months)
I have noticed that if you leave a tcp connection open when renew time comes up it will automagically renew your old IP address if you have had it for about 3-4 days (which is nice, SWB DSL would change anyway and kill any open connections in the process ever 3 hours or so).
Just find a box you can telnet into and run a simple program on it, like:
#!bin/sh
while [ "Rome" != "built_in_a_day ]; do
sleep 240
echo.\c
echo \b\c
done
in the background and leave the telnet session open. On linux you may need echo -e, but it seems to work.
But yeah, for awhile my IP was listed as 0.0.0.0 until just before I went to work this morning.
I have fought with RR over support for a while, and I actually don't think this makes a bit of difference on the network working on a technical level, but based on the QoS I personally have received from them, you need something supported:
Behind my RR cable modem are 3 computers (sometimes 4, all linux, one can boot MacOS and one can boot Win95), a printer, a hub, and a Linksys BEFR**** 4 pt routerette. Whenever I have the link light go out on my modem (which in an apt complex can be anything from lightning to the cable dude disconnecting the wrong lines) I have to call in. The FIRST thing RR does is make you take everything off the network that isn't supported. For me, this is EVERYTHING. RR will not support:
the hub
the Linksys router
Any of the computers save one, which can't be
running Linux, so it has to be one of the
dual-boots
the printer.
It's pretty obvious what's wrong when the link light is dead for the cable side. I still have to disconnect all this stuff before they go "yeah, we had happen and there was work in the area (as in they knew about it all along) so will just reset your line...
plink, link light syncs up.
So yes, you DO need to have something supported by RoadRunner to run otherwise you can't fix what they screw up for you. At least not in Houston...
I'd like to hear others experiences with RR and unsupported items if you have any to know if im alone or what not.
Kycera 6035. It's a PalmOS 3.5 based dude. The sweet part is that it can function as a full wireless modem for itself standing alone or for another computer connected via serial cable to it's palm cradle. Verison let's you use CDMA calling at not extra fee (your minuets are used like it's a normal call). Plus, since it's a PalmOS based device, you don't have to deal with watered down, propriatarily controlled HDML sites..you have a full HTML browser (well, as full as it is on the Palm V) with an independent modem link to whatever dialup ISP you have.
Cons are that you now have a cell phone that is prone to crashes and it's a tad bulky (yet smaller than a full-sized Palm Pilot).
Xenon gas is a very heavy element, and if Big Bang theory is correct, then there should be very little Xenon gas around, much less a big concentrated source of it from something around at the beginning of the solar system that probably began its life in the outer reaches of the gas disk that became our solar system.
Even if there was, since the Xenon isn't passing through the engine core I bet whatever is doing the ionizing can't ionize the Xenon gas.
AS far as I know, Oracle doesn't compile for LinuxPPC. I have a StarMax that I have not been able to get anything running on as of yet. The best you would probably be able to do is use some AIX 32bit Oracle items (IBM RS6000's use PPC chips, sorta) and hope they work under Linux...
If anyone has even had success here, please let me know
I can tell you Oracle runs fairly well under Linux-Intel. I have a dev copy of 8.1.7.0.1 that ran smoothly as long as I used the distro & version Oracle said the product was compiled under. Otherwise there were issues during install or runtime.
This way they can also maintain the lines of cars trying to get through downtown without losing a wheel or engine by falling in a pothole. So they get more than just one line and an excuse to keep the streets under repair.

I wonder if you can slow down the worm by stalling the worm's thread process. If you added a default.ida file that, essentially, took forever to return data/download (or at least caused a timeout while waiting to load a file), would the worm slow down?
Pros: We know the worm only creates 99 threads at a time. This could theoretically stop it spreading
Cons: Bandwith limit (stalled download) needs to be used to avoid DDOS-ing yourself.
Need to kill the connection to keep from memory busting the TCP stack or occupying all available TCP ports.
You'd basically be playing TCP firewall games based on a request on httpd for hitting a specific file in the website file tree. Scripting that may be difficult or impossible.
It works pretty simply. Genetics are DNA/RNA. DNA/RNA are blueprints for protiens. No matter how big/small/complex the protien is it will have to be made out of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. Perhaps a few metals, but these will be non polluting.
So How can I so blatenly assume this? Because what the genitically altered life form is eating is the same thing. The atoms that are the building blocks of life are the same. And these break down to the same things when oxidized: carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen gas. A life form is a system. You put stuff in, you get stuff out. The stuff you get out is made of the same stuff you get out.
Now, I over generalized a bit. In the case of things made to deal with nasties (bacteria for oil spill remediation comes to mind), it's possible that they may turn it into benzine or something like that. But that defeats the purpose of remediation (since benzine is something we try to clean up) so we avoid that situation; keep working until we get carbon dioxide and water (essentially what we would have if the oil would have not spilled and made it to the SUV's of the world...). Howecer in this case we actually _changed_ what the bacteria was eating, so we changed the input to the system. Thus the output must be monitored much mre heavily, and in these cases I think your sekptisim is much more just. But please don't generalize that all GM items are polluting in ways we can't calcualte, because in many ways we can.
I agree. To put it in another context, if you shoot me with your gun, and the bullet is lodged in my body, can you then sue me for stealing your bullet (or plead innocense by saying you were "not using it in a way intended by the shooter")?

Behind my RR cable modem are 3 computers (sometimes 4, all linux, one can boot MacOS and one can boot Win95), a printer, a hub, and a Linksys BEFR**** 4 pt routerette. Whenever I have the link light go out on my modem (which in an apt complex can be anything from lightning to the cable dude disconnecting the wrong lines) I have to call in. The FIRST thing RR does is make you take everything off the network that isn't supported. For me, this is EVERYTHING. RR will not support:
the hub
the Linksys router
Any of the computers save one, which can't be
running Linux, so it has to be one of the
dual-boots
the printer.
It's pretty obvious what's wrong when the link light is dead for the cable side. I still have to disconnect all this stuff before they go "yeah, we had happen and there was work in the area (as in they knew about it all along) so will just reset your line...
plink, link light syncs up.
So yes, you DO need to have something supported by RoadRunner to run otherwise you can't fix what they screw up for you. At least not in Houston...
I'd like to hear others experiences with RR and unsupported items if you have any to know if im alone or what not.
Kycera 6035. It's a PalmOS 3.5 based dude. The sweet part is that it can function as a full wireless modem for itself standing alone or for another computer connected via serial cable to it's palm cradle. Verison let's you use CDMA calling at not extra fee (your minuets are used like it's a normal call). Plus, since it's a PalmOS based device, you don't have to deal with watered down, propriatarily controlled HDML sites..you have a full HTML browser (well, as full as it is on the Palm V) with an independent modem link to whatever dialup ISP you have.
a q.htm
Cons are that you now have a cell phone that is prone to crashes and it's a tad bulky (yet smaller than a full-sized Palm Pilot).

Xenon gas is a very heavy element, and if Big Bang theory is correct, then there should be very little Xenon gas around, much less a big concentrated source of it from something around at the beginning of the solar system that probably began its life in the outer reaches of the gas disk that became our solar system.
Even if there was, since the Xenon isn't passing through the engine core I bet whatever is doing the ionizing can't ionize the Xenon gas.
AS far as I know, Oracle doesn't compile for LinuxPPC. I have a StarMax that I have not been able to get anything running on as of yet. The best you would probably be able to do is use some AIX 32bit Oracle items (IBM RS6000's use PPC chips, sorta) and hope they work under Linux...
If anyone has even had success here, please let me know
I can tell you Oracle runs fairly well under Linux-Intel. I have a dev copy of 8.1.7.0.1 that ran smoothly as long as I used the distro & version Oracle said the product was compiled under. Otherwise there were issues during install or runtime.
This way they can also maintain the lines of cars trying to get through downtown without losing a wheel or engine by falling in a pothole. So they get more than just one line and an excuse to keep the streets under repair.

If you have driven through Houston downtown (or Med Center?), you know what i'm referring to...
I wonder if you can slow down the worm by stalling the worm's thread process. If you added a default.ida file that, essentially, took forever to return data/download (or at least caused a timeout while waiting to load a file), would the worm slow down?
Pros: We know the worm only creates 99 threads at a time. This could theoretically stop it spreading
Cons: Bandwith limit (stalled download) needs to be used to avoid DDOS-ing yourself.
Need to kill the connection to keep from memory busting the TCP stack or occupying all available TCP ports.
You'd basically be playing TCP firewall games based on a request on httpd for hitting a specific file in the website file tree. Scripting that may be difficult or impossible.
Anyone have any other thoughts?
It works pretty simply. Genetics are DNA/RNA. DNA/RNA are blueprints for protiens. No matter how big/small/complex the protien is it will have to be made out of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. Perhaps a few metals, but these will be non polluting.
So How can I so blatenly assume this? Because what the genitically altered life form is eating is the same thing. The atoms that are the building blocks of life are the same. And these break down to the same things when oxidized: carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen gas. A life form is a system. You put stuff in, you get stuff out. The stuff you get out is made of the same stuff you get out.
Now, I over generalized a bit. In the case of things made to deal with nasties (bacteria for oil spill remediation comes to mind), it's possible that they may turn it into benzine or something like that. But that defeats the purpose of remediation (since benzine is something we try to clean up) so we avoid that situation; keep working until we get carbon dioxide and water (essentially what we would have if the oil would have not spilled and made it to the SUV's of the world...). Howecer in this case we actually _changed_ what the bacteria was eating, so we changed the input to the system. Thus the output must be monitored much mre heavily, and in these cases I think your sekptisim is much more just. But please don't generalize that all GM items are polluting in ways we can't calcualte, because in many ways we can.
I agree. To put it in another context, if you shoot me with your gun, and the bullet is lodged in my body, can you then sue me for stealing your bullet (or plead innocense by saying you were "not using it in a way intended by the shooter")?
