  1. That just sounds like your trying to prevent all people on the network from being allowed to use any IRC server but the one on the network. Sure it can be done, but thats not what your initial question seemed to be. With all things like, there will be many ways around it for the determined user.
  2. Surely if you want it for only intranet use, just don't port forward on your router to the server for the IRC.
  3. I'll be the first person to admit that I can be harsh in my responses to posts, but if you look through what I have contributed to the forum you'll release that I am a hell of a lot nicer when people take some time to think about, research and write their questions and topics on the forum. When people do this, they improve the quality of the replies and the information on the forum which is better for everyone. Sadly few people do this, which causes a lot of poor quality of content and makes finding the gems even more difficult. There are a lot of good people on this forum and you can and will learn a lot from them if you want, but given the amount of crap that people have to put up with, here and most other places, we really can get really pissed off about it. If we didn't want new members then we would not allow people to join, but that is counter productive in my opinion. I'm still of the opinion that the community here is one of the better ones and that the flaming is quite minimal and fair generally. Your comment below just reminds me of this quote: "For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing." You wouldn't want to live in a country were no one ever told you were wrong, or how to improve, etc. So don't expect it online.
  4. I wouldn't really say I forgot underclockability. The majority of CPUs and other chips now dynamically change their clock speed and power consumption depending on their usage, some allow you to tell it go slow yourself. If it supports it as a feature then I'd use it, but not if your changing settings in the bios to achieve it.
  5. I'm really tired of people putting no effort in before they post. A much better post would have been: "I've been looking around on amazon etc. and reading the reviews of the books on learning PHP, this one (quantify) seems to get good reviews, does anyone here have any thoughts on it, perhaps something better? Are there any good online resources that would go well in helping me learn php? Thanks" I think would have taken you seriously as you would have soon that you don't expect everything handed on a plate in front of you before being spooned into your mouth.
  6. The way I understood it was that Oyster card is just authentication tags as well but I haven't read much in to it really. They are £3 deposit each, so not free, but you can get your money back if you hand it back in. I'd really like to get this rolling again, now that dates have been confirmed for a while.
  7. I really don't understand the point of overclocking laptops and only just get the point in a limited number of cases for the desktop. There are reasons why they are set to the settings they are and no, its not just to do with money.
  8. AAO has a crap trackpad, otherwise it is solid, but there is a better range of kit for the EEE. Mac OS X does run on the AAO, but sleep doesn't work last time I looked and thats a pretty big thing for me. My recommendation would be the Dell Mini 10 with the 'high res' screen. It'll last you much much longer with the better screen, only downside is that it can only take 1GB of memory.
  9. You know if its server side code and they have have their servers configured vaguely correctly you can't get at the code.
  10. Still not going, still working. :(
  11. My personal recommendation is build your own. If you shop around you can get something much more powerful which will give actual performance which will make use of Gigabit ethernet and be less than a standalone NAS box.
  12. I mean, seriously? Can you not do a little research yourself, people write reviews of books and websites. Just so I am actually being helpful, there is a book by the name of your thread title. It is good.
  13. I would be going, but I'm working.
  14. Personally I would save up a little more and get the White MacBook, it is really good value for what you get. The only thing it doesn't meet on your criteria is the 14" screen, personally I think the 14" screen is dead, hardly any manufacturers make them any more, because the 15.4" is a lot cheaper and the 13.3" gives a reasonable step down from the 15.4". Given that all of those screen sizes generally have the same 1280x800 resolution, I don't think it really makes much a of difference between 14" and 13". At $999, I would then save a little, put 4GB of memory in it (dirt cheap) and a 320GB 7,200rpm hard disk in it, again, really cheap. If you can get access to Apple Higher Education discount then you can get about 15% off straight way. This thread will probably turn into a flame war now, knowing some of the people on the forum, hopefully they'll keep to themselves though.
  15. Perl would be the easiest way to do this. Get the list of folder names, apply a regex to it, if it matches, pull the values out of it, create your new foler name and then do the renaming.
  16. Mines the one that is write for the job. I'm not going to write a web application in C and I'm not going to write a GUI in SQL. Personally, my favorite language is Prolog, which is a logic language, there are no return statements really, just truths. Allowing you to ask something like colourOfHats(X), and prolog will resolve X to be say 'Blue' and 'Red' if that is true and specified in the program. You can't be considered a real programmer until you have learnt an imperative, functional, logic and scripting language in my opinion.
  17. Sorry to disappoint, its not an all Mac OSX botnet, about 40% of the machine currently receiving commands a Vista. Its not the same infection, but they are being controlled by the same control server.
  18. But if you encrypt them, you can't use them on your iPhone, so why keep them on the phone to begin with? The sensitive stuff like your contacts you can't encrypt.
  19. I think you just did, which is no doubt what you wanted, hopefully no one will fall for your terrible bait.
  20. Wow, your life must be so awesome to resort to posting stuff like that.
  21. There are some firmwares which will allow you the desired effect but without reducing the signal strength, you also have to remember reducing the signal strength won't help much if they have a high-powered card and a good antenna. The technique is the ap can calculate the distance to the target by timing the travel time of the packets, obviously it is an estimate but it does work, you just work out your maximum desired distance and then add a couple of meters to it. If the person is outside of this range then the router will not service them. Not matter what hardware they have got, they can't speed up the radio waves traveling.
  22. Also doesn't work if its illegal not to secure your AP properly.
  23. Not broadcasting the SSID and MAC filtering are useful, they do also add to security, not much, but given that nearly all security is security in depth, things like that help, things like MAC filtering, may increase the amount of time the attack needs before being able to compromise the network, making them more likely to turn their attentions else where or get caught.
  24. Good for you then, I always like to here about people giving back to the community and doing a good job about it. Keep up the good work!
  25. Sounds like he is operating some sort of WISP solution. I'm tempted to get a copy of Windows server, but I really can't justify the price at the moment.
