This isn't going to stop you from drinking, right? It'd be a shame to mess that hobby up.

Hey, I was just monkeying around with the Firefox 3.1 betas and today noticed a really bad thing. When using the following search at google: microsoft mvc beta I get a list of link context that looks good, but the links referenced are link farm sites. I do NOT get this in Firefox 3.0, Chrome 1 or IE 7. But 3.1 is doing something bad. No other application seems to be affected so I don't suspect that I've been compromised lower down the stack but... Has anyone else seen it? I thought I was nuts. removed what I had installed and went back and downloaded the freshest Beta 2 directly from Mozilla (anl.gov link mirror) and the same thing happens. This is a bit worrisome!

You are using winrar, right? (I believe 7zip supports it too - but beliefs exist only to be questioned.)

Awesome find! Thanks. More than a few times I've wanted to do that.

I've used it for years. I agree with the diagnosis that the one guy could confuse a router but if you do it at the router it should be a smooth as butter. I'm not a fan of relying on my ISP to provide DNS in my best interest.

The teacher? Could just be that the teacher doesn't know any better. Teachers are human and don't often get enough contact with the outside world. You hang around teenagers all day and watch your knowledge of the world go to pot.

You didn't include the critical part - Mr. Starks wrote back and accused the teacher of parroting the union line - as MS has apparently supported the teachers union to the tune of 10 MILLION bucks. See the whole article here: http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/10/001236

Does anyone else read that as "Free Manual"? No one ever reads them anyway....

It means that your client is old. Steam should have automatically updated your client, you are logged into steam aren't you?

Did anyone else check out the latest Systm episode where they showed building a Chu Moy headphone amp? Yeah, it was a bit thin on details and they didn't push the location of the plans terribly well (but the show notes probably have it). But they did cover the "gotchas" that people would quite likely run into and evens showed how they can be personalized. I have a pair of Chu Moy amps that don't run off of multiple 9v batteries (just a single 9v). They sound awesome and I wouldn't want to go back. Any good headphones just can't be driven by the weak on board amps today. Reminded me of when Wes was on Hak5.... sniff.

I'm with aeturnus.

The problem is that for most people the unix groups concept is just too simplistic. If things are simple, no problem but overlapping groups make things tough. What most people really want are ACLs and THAT is (can be) complex. Unless we know what kinds of usages (both from the user point of view and the file point of view) you're trying to provide we can't provide much help beyond "Read the manual". Standard unix groups might not work for your situation.

But your server config would make for a sweet GTA4 rig. Crossfire's supported where SLI isn't.

Duct tape a 360 to your Original? The CPU in the original XBox is approximately 7 times slower than the 360 and uses an entirely different instruction set. Sorry, without putting 360 hardware in your xbox, it's not going to happen. The 360 can emulate the original XBox as it is significantly faster than the original. This explains why some xbox titles aren't supported. The general rule for emulation is that the host system needs to be about 10x more powerful than the system you want to emulate.

Make sure that the system you're buying it for can boot from SDHC before buying.

Unless you're programming for cell phones the netbook screen will drive you nuts. It's just a tiny bit too small for just a few things. One significant bonus for the netbooks though is awesome battery life. You'll ever touch it with a full size unless you carry around a battery the same size as the laptop.

He's a little slow on the uptake!

Here's another site to check that uses the newest MS stuff. More examples might be out there on codeproject - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WCF/WCFWPFChat.aspx

The only obvious hardware differences are an extra 512M of ram and a hard disk 80-160g for the XP versions (compared to 8-16G SSD on linux). I don't think that there's a linux version with the non-ssd storage. The memory is straightforward to upgrade, but does require pulling everything apart. The HD versions are a bit different using a 2.5" disk that is a bit thicker than the SSDs. There are some great videos out on the net. Check for TankGrl. (I think that's how she spelled it.)

That should have the right Atheros in it. I got one of the 160G (in white) just before Thanksgiving for 280$ on an open box newegg deal. The only real failing is no bluetooth but a micro adapter and it's ready to go. Keyboard is great, screen is right where any smaller would be problematic. Some apps really do want >600 lines but anything normal works just fine.

Hack and Rogue here he comes! Maybe some BZFlag... (well, it's not that bad but at least it will cut down on his gaming)

You guys are aware that all these guys and girls have FULL TIME JOBS on top of Hak5... right? If you really want it, you could always create it and administer it for the Hak5 community like many do with the forums, game servers and other projects. Don't overload them or we'll lose the show! (Given that it takes Darren a WEEK to make a 20$ usb missile launcher work - and even then he has to farm it out to a pinch hitter - maybe he should go Hak5 full time. ) (Forgive me Darren. I was trying to save you and ended up crucifying you. Oh well, there are always casualties.)

I can see it bouncing off the wall constantly.... Until the batteries die.

As it should. QoS doesn't make things faster, it just makes what you want slower, slower. When you have two connections it's easier to share out the load so QoS just might not be necessary in your config.

And know that you're looking through 20 revisions of history and backwards compatibility. And don't be surprised when you read something that says "MS says to do it this way" and then in the next document a totally new way is presented.
