Kernel 2.4.14 is out

· Score: 4, Informative
I don't read freshmeat. I search for things there. It isn't something I really care to see everyday.
you dont have to, you can subscribe to the linux kernel entry on freshmeat and recieve an email when a new version is out.
I don't subscribe to the kernel announce list. I don't care to read a bunch of garbage everday.
so release information is not garbage when its on slashdot but it is garbage when it comes from the actual source?
If they tell us when the release of XP is, or when the release of a new variant of Code Red or the like is out, why not the kernel.
Then by this very logic, CNN should be running stories on the latest Linux kernel release? XP is a bit different from 2.4.13 to 2.4.14 and Code Red made quite an impact on the Internet.
If you don't, tough. It obviously is going to stay no matter how many of you comment on it
That may be so, but dont expect the opposite and rely on slashdot to only run the stories you want. I bet if slashdot wasnt running stories on kernel updates that stories would still be submitted every release.

I made the same observation this morning and I called AT&T about just this, I explained that my TOS states that I can run the software if I take the needed steps to ensure the security of my machine so that it does not interrupt the service of other customers. The lady was tottally clueless about my TOS and said there was nothing that could be done, and no matter whom I talked to about getting 80 unblocked for me it would not happen. So I guess that I cant violoate the TOS but they can do what they want to interrupt my service even if its against the contract...
"Customer should be aware that when using the Service to access the Internet or any other online network or service, there are certain applications, such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server or HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) server, which may be used to allow other Service users and Internet users to gain access to Customer's computer. If Customer chooses to run such applications, Customer should take the appropriate security measures. Neither AT&T nor @Home Network shall have any liability whatsoever for any claims, losses, actions, damages, suits or proceedings resulting from, arising out of or otherwise relating to the use of such applications by Customer, including without limitation, damages resulting from others accessing Customer's computer."
I've taken the security measures, I always have and always will so I want my 80 unblocked...
I keep stats of more than just Code Red, using scanalyze and a small php script. Its sometimes fun to see what kind of activity your machine is getting.
I use the Dell Latitude L400, it weighs 3.4 lbs and its a great machine. I run both linux and windows on it with great stability. I get a lot of battery life out of it and overall its the best laptop I've owned.
Its probably your X config. XF86Setup is still for X version 3.x.x. Use 'xf86config' to make the config file...find the lines that define the modes for your card. It says 'Section "Screen"'. If X complains that it cant find screens its not that it cant physically detect a connected monitor, its that it cant find any of those modes listed that will approprately work with your vid card/monitor combo. It may bee that it cant detect the RAM on your card so it wont support the mode you want, prolly why you only got 320x200. I have an LCD monitor and it works fine, I had to edit my XF86Config myself to get the settting just right tho. Might look something like this:
We have a similar problem (300+ nodes) and its not the broadcasts that kill us its when someone transfers something over windows file sharing it creates about 80% packet loss for everthing on that segment of the network (each segment is about 4 or 5 hubs uplinked to a master switch). Sniffer shows NetBIOS Session Services just blasting all over the place and its with any windows machine, not just a few. Suggestions (other than get rid of the windows;) ?
SMP is a "design" that has to be programed for. For example, Windows 9x does not support more than 1 CPU. Windows NT/2000 does. Even if your OS does support more than 1 cpu (incl linux) the programs have to use the SMP abilities. It would create a huge load on the backs of programmers becuase they would have to include SMP routines in their programs, as well as non SMP. Also, ACPI is not SMP safe under linux, as many things cant be run on SMP computers (various programs are not SMP safe). All in all, programing for 1 cpu is a much more simplified process, and its a good reason as to why it probably doesnt catch on as much.
Just about every comment I see on/. has a sig with "MAKE MONEY SLOWLY" or "want a better job?" or someone with "shameless plugs" for their products.

Its not your IP thats banned...its your computer. You can remove keys from your registry and get back onto napster.
1. run regedit 2. delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\napster 3. delete ALL instances of (search for em): 35D38C13-1434-AB7E-003483943341AA A1AD8C13-1383-5343-DCC38E43FF0AAE CAD8C813-1F34-1B3E-00CEAE43FF0AAD 4. reboot 5. create new login
Simply putting too much trafic on an ethernet card with very poor cooling will blow the chip, in fact today its so hot out that we had one blow in a server. It didnt catch on fire but is seriously malfuntining, we replaced it and presto. The cards most often have a little black mark in the center of the chip looking like someone gave it a ciggarete burn. The smell scares the crap out of you because you think your new hot rod is catching on fire;)
Sounds neat for what I want to do with it...little web browser near my phone to replace win ce device that takes down messages over the web to my machine downstairs...but that 10 hour thing sucks...I only have one line now that I am using cable...someone find a way to beat it please ! heh...that and anyone know for sure that you can get ethernet for the USB?
Yes, heat is one thing in overclocking but ever wonder why some guy can crank is 500E to 750 with the OEM heat sink/fan combo and the guy next to him has to use a peltier? You have to have good quality silicon to get to higher speeds and thats why dedicated overclockers will look for a certain week manufactured intel chip like...week 28 from ireland or something. Its because they have finer silicon. If intel makes these things operate on low power...they also have to have the quality silicon it takes to get higher speeds. If they use a.18 die process then sure...it might look good but to keep the price down to compete it will probably be a.25 or.22 micron. Less power doesnt also mean less heat...sure there is a direct link between more wattage and more heat but this thing may run so hot its not even funny even tho its only at 2 watts! We will see I guess....
Qwest has a really, really fast backbone with many trans-atlantic links. They use an OC-768 link in North America. Check out their network. Our company hosts our web server (needs like yours...it has international audience) with them and its fast but the only problem is that their customer service sucks (well...from our experience). Many trans-atlantic companies have redundancy plans. The canada to iceland link went down last year (severed fibre) and it routes through satalite. Its slow ping wize but it is still fast. There are also many redundant fibre pairs that they can use in times of failure. If you are affraid of your traffic not making it overseas, don't worry because even if some place looses ALL of their connections they will route through another ISP and people can still get to your web site if the involved parties (including you) have a BGP scheme implemented.

IP Over SCSI?
·
· Score: 1
I have never heard of IP over SCSI for macs but what I have seen and done is connect a dead powerbook (old one...520c) to my same powerbook with a scsi cable and it acted like a starter for the other one. It simply mounted the dead pb hard drive onto mine and I could repair it. The dead pb had this graphic on the screen that showed the transfers and stuff. The interesting part is that it is built into the firware...I had to use 2 scsi adapters because power books have this special adapter...one was set to be the host and the other was set to be normal. The dead one was the host.
Is it just me or does Napster have a EULA that states that you can not download or distribute ilegaly obtained mp3s? So, how is Metalica et all able to sue Napster?
I made a simple palm clipping application that I can use to control/monitor my servers via a ksh script/cgi on the server end and a simple form on the palm end of it. I can do things like view processes, run commands, reboot ect..ect... If you want the code, contact me and I will send it to you. Its very handy when someone calls with a problem and you are without access.
