Surely if you want it for only intranet use, just don't port forward on your router to the server for the IRC.

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.
It just seems like some people are all uptight about stuff and have to make a comment pointing it out. -
well youre forgetting the underclockability as well. clock it to2ghz when i need a little more performance for video or multitasking and underclock it to around 1ghz when i need battery life and or cooler run temps.
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.

I'm really tired of getting flamed on these forums. I came to this community for advice because I trust their knowledge. Yes I could of went out and found the answer myself, but i rather get a few pointers and suggestions from the community that I am a part of. For all the others that helped me with some links and suggestions thank you!
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.

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.

Bought the EEE 1000HE. Might be fun to see if I can overclock it. Really I just want it so I can code when i'm on the bus journey to work.
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.

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.
-
You know if its server side code and they have have their servers configured vaguely correctly you can't get at the code.

Still not going, still working. :(

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.
-
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.

I would be going, but I'm working.

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.

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.

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.

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.

it is possible to sftp into the iphone's storage as you know. if someday, someone steals my iphone, I don't want some files to be seen. I don't really need a full disk encryption thing. but rather some kind of protected storage. thanks
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.
-
one day all you iphone fanboys will see that iphones fail in so many ways. get a proper windows mobile ppc phone. i personally love the htc smartphone/ppc phones. theres more apps than you can even imagine, win mobile is super hackable, theres huge winmobile communities like xda-developers and duttythroy.net (couple of my favs) and things like multitasking, file encryption, cut & paste, and everything else the iphone fails at comes standard. not trying to turn this into an iphone bash thread but i would seriously recommend ditching that overhyped ipod when your contract is up.
I think you just did, which is no doubt what you wanted, hopefully no one will fall for your terrible bait.

Wow, your life must be so awesome to resort to posting stuff like that.

Mine is HotRodLincoln,although it changes regularly.
I also run WPA2 and MAC filtering.
So far this has kept the local skidies at bay. We have a bunch of them here. I do set up a honeypot for them every once in a while, and they aren't smart enough to have figured i out yet.
I'd reduce the signal strength, but I need it to reach out to the garage for when i'm working on the bike.
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.

Plausible deniability will not work if the court can prove that you had the know how, but neglected to take the proper actions to secure you access point. Also they will probably find this post in your history/log, or at least link you to this account, and say, "fuck off, you dled that child porno". Trust me, people use that excuse all the time.
Also doesn't work if its illegal not to secure your AP properly.

I'm surprised by some of the responses here. People seem to think that not broadcasting the SSID helps security, or that MAC filtering is useful.
Encrypt the wifi with WPA2 (not WPA) and use a long, non dictionary encryption key, something like: 1f/3564z^$s5fg-(kd62+;'2^w73n9sg4516 and you are good to go.
WPA2 with non dictionary password has not been hacked yet and can be considered safe. If you want to say I'm wrong here, then you'll need to at least link to the evidence :)
Oh, and for the record:
SSID: wifi
Broadcast: ON
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.

For some 6 years ago i founded a free wifi internetcommunity and till to day this community is still around and up and running.
Free wifi internet for every one.
Gerard
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!

All the 38 accespoints i got online got the same (roaming) SSID named WECc or FON_WECc (WECc= Wireless-EmmerCompascuum)
WEP and WPA - off
Make use of 2 cabel ISP's and 6 ADSL ISP's.
Every one of the ISP's line's are 20 Mb/s down and 1 Mb/s upload.

Thanks for the info Stingray, should have figured it was a unix solution. =PNeinsager now WTF do you need all that for? lmfao
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.
making a IRC server for intranet use only.

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.
