lz/sz modem rock for multiple hopes. I have to jump thru 4 boxes to get to our network. Transfering core files and logs are much easier with I can "sz core" and have it on my laptop. Still use UUENCODE and UUDECODE. Sucks when your on a Xterm that cant save files, Just cut, paste, boom the file is moved.
On WWIV BBs's, you could include an Ansi signiture. I put a fake "SysOp Chat mode Enabled" then pretrended to hang up them and pause. I dont Remember exact WWIV chat, but it was something like. And I put pauses between keystrokes, to fake a real person.:)

Ahh the good ole days. God a few nasty emails about that.

And who says SACD-roms for PC's wont be made? Every CD I buy plays on my PC. In fact a good portion of the consumer public uses computers to play CDs. Expect to see Dell/Gateway or Apple to start selling SACD compat units if the technology is popular.
BTW, They moved Region coding from software to firmware on DVD units, still hasnt stopped people from reading and ripping regional and macrovision from DVDs. Most of the mainstream movies floating around the gnutella network seem to be bad analog camcorder copies. Hell they still sell LPs of popular music for DJs, ANALOG is still here.
True, I started looking at where the spam is coming from, and I noticed alot of webservers for the opt-out pages are names like, cs-1.foo.bar, h341lp.foo.bar, blblb.cs02.bar, lots of names that are just setup for spam. I think some of them, at least 20% are from the same company, just different domains. The websites for opt-out have the same look too.
I think Ill write a spam tracker, some kind of spam database, track the headers, do an ISP search, state search, and find a nice pattern. Wonder if any of the larger spam black lists do this already. A hit list of spammers ISP.
Older computer DVD's had software on the OS, where you could switch as many times. Now its in the firmware on the drive itself. Seems the hardware vendors buckled under the political pressure. Try to find a RPC-1 (software/os) locked, if you upgrade to a RPC-2 drive, you can only change a 2 times.
BTW, I hear the Imac's are RPC-1, I dont have one, True?
My spam has been going up over the years, using the same email for 5+ years, seems to do it. And Im a busy Internet poster, and active on mailing lists and online BBS boards, so it compounds matters.
Topics lately that have passed my spam filters, "Your Bill", My Name correctly(most spam dont use names, just email addresses), Actual products that I use, (someone must of sold my email address), Mailing list type headers (vnc/linux kernel/etc).
Funny thing, some mailing lists are tagged as spam, like IGN computer news, which I had to tag as good. Spam takes way more of my time than it should. I know for sure, I havnt opt'ed in for anything, and "Opt-Out" is a fucking joke.
We do the same thing, 1 Large multi-TB oracle database, ldap front ends. Of course this is for Voice Mail(encoded), SMS and Email. Not cheap, but its pretty standard, all the vendors seems to offer the same configuration.
I think the sweetest thing is how 1 object(voicemail/etc) can go be tagged for a select group of people. Theres Garbage Collection, extra storage, all kinds of handy features. Just a well thought out, easy to manage, solution. Thou it costs:)

Binary packages only. Src packages have too many problems. Theres an effort over at OpenBSD to audit all the ports tree due to the compile errors on a large percentage of the ports.
RPM is a damn good idea, but it falls short when you get hit with dependancy hell. On Solaris pkg is another good example, and a little easier to manage, and no compile problems.
Slackeware.tgz is easy to use, and contains the binaries. You just install and go.
Theres a time and place for source, and not everyone needs to compile for third party options, or try to milk 5% extra speed out of a program. A generic install base has advantages. I can setup a nat server with internal dns, port forwarding, and services in 20 minutes with packages. If I had to use src, it would take me much longer to compile everything. Slackware has been one truely small, efficent distro. I dont use it much anymore except when space is a premium. I'm using *.rpms mostly, so I use suse or mandrake for my workstations, I can get a computer up and running in minutes. Tweak time shouldnt take hours, even thou its enjoyable. (-;

I couldnt use 2.4ghz remote video (computer display in livingroom), because of all the 2.4ghz interferance. Thou my 2.4ghz phone seems to work perfectly. Neighbors have X11 stuff too. Good luck.
Northpoint wireless wants to offer wireless broadband (tv/music/inet) but the FCC wants to charge for the spectrum, which northpoint owns the copyright for. They believe they should have it for free, its their technology that makes it work. And they cant afford the outrageous prices the FCC wants for the spectrum. They say they can deploy to 90% of the USA.
Who knows, sounds interesting. Maybe someone on slashdot is testing it?
We tried to buy a site license at work. We needed something that would plug into Outlook Exchange and work with everyone inside and outside the company. But after NAI killed PGP, we tried GPG but there was no plugin for Outlook Exchange (client).
Good product, lots of people wanting to buy it, and no alternative program. If someone came out with a windows office plugin, maybe they could make/start a software company.
Ever had to datamine just to understand someones database? Nothing like that nice 100gig DB turning into a few TBs over a few years, lots work to be done.
Thats the BAD part about BSD releases, alot of people dont have high speed Internet access, and an update ISO is needed. The ports tree alone should be on a seperate cd set, and updated monthly. The ports need audited badly, alot of stuff that wont compile, leaving a bad taste on people new to BSD.
The non-offical OpenBSD ISOs are trustworthy. Cheapbytes offers an ISO for 4.99.
People say you grow cynical as you grow older, I think you just lived long enough to see enough bullshit, and understand its bullshit.
1. War on drugs. (96 thousand people are in jail for only using drugs, Private companies earning money off drug seizures. Ads saying Drugs promote terrorism) 2. Campaign reform. (Bush just had a nice dinner that made 30 million dollars for the republicans, You wont see the Libertarian, Green or Natural parties raise this kind of money) 3. Personal Rights. (The right to die, The right to sell your body, The right to marry same sex, im sure there are others.) 4. Men's rights (Men are held at a higher standards for raising children, child support, alimony, divorce settlements are in favor of women) 5. Racial Issues in the workplace (Businesses around the US are still showing race issues, Walmart, Dennys, etc..) 6. Property rights (You don't own that dvd, its encrypted!, everything is licensed, EULA is a forced contract) 7. Religion in Government (In the USA we have the have the separation of church and state. Religion seems to be the driving force for most political issues.) 8. American Values (Your either with US or against US, The moral majority doesn't have time for any degree of separation of values.) 9. Tax reform (The federal tax burden is 20.7 percent of gross domestic product. The surplus tax money does not belong to politicians.) 10. Voters Rights (Recount of the Florida showed that if the entire state did a recount, Gore won the state. Jed Bush (Governor of Florida) stepped up and was against a recount of the entire state. The state started to burn all voter records at the request of Jed Bush.)
The list goes on, you can loose count of all the special interest groups in the USA.. Judges that are elected, backed by corporations. Kick backs, pay off, political pork, honesty is bought and sold.
Well, enough of this shit, Im off to listen to some Mp3's, and surf porn. While its still legal.

Even thou we have a license's for Netscape, we went to apache on Solaris for most of our servers. We do buy Allaire java jrun, but they are very stable with over hundreds of hits per second.
Some of the open source products I can think off, are Apache, Bind, Sendmail, Mysql, Postfix, perl, mrtg, etc. We also have commercial equivalents for most, which do think is the most stable? Theres alot of push to go with the multi-million dollar companies, and high profile software. Many times I look at a billing server and shake my head in disgust.
If you're a sys-admin for your college, then yes, its worth it. But if your taking a CS degree, unless they are teaching you perl, sendmail/postfix, bind, apache/php etc, your going to have to learn these skills to acquire the job. If you are in college, Get an apprenticeship FAST.
Colleges didn't offer the skill I needed when I first started an ISP, I had to build Unix boxes, mail servers, configure routers and learn how to do it myself. Reading books, living on Usenet, and drinking coffee till 5am to fix problems before customers got up in the morning.
Lets not even talk about all the 3rd party hardware that you will have to learn, Cisco, Nortel, Eriksson, lucent, nokia, etc.. This stuff is upgraded so fast, features you learned on 2.0 will not exist in 3.0.
Its hard to be a master of everything, knowledge about Unix and protocols will help learning any new software application. There are tech schools that will help with this, and might be a better bang for the buck than college. College was about relationships, a lifestyle, your father went to the same college, etc.. Today, Education is a commodity, your paying for your future, get your moneys worth. Treat your life like a business, and plan, and purchase correctly.
BTW, most CEOs/CFOs/etc have Masters or Doctorates. There is part time college like Phoenix university that might help.
