Give you science teacher a copy of OpenOffice then, at least you could then work in that or Microsoft Office.

Monowall.
Download is only 5MB compared to Smoothwalls 40MB, you can run Monowall on a CF card with an IDE to CF adaptor, so you don't have to worry about hard drives, or running it off a CD.
I think a nicer web interface, and is excellent for older systems and embedded hardware.
Another advantage is that Monowall has a sister project called pfSense, which is a bit bigger and needs a slightly more powerful computer but offers a few more interesting features like WAN teaming.
Its also rock stable, i've had smoothwall boxes and have been reseting them every other day almost and now I never turn Monowall off.

Mines a cross between my surname and that wonderful puppet show that was set mainly underwater.
I've had others but I always seem to come back to this one.

Ha, you use works. Theres your problem.

Very nice job. Looks very professional.
Only suggest I would have is do something on the inside. Either paint it another colour than that horrible grey or something else. I hate that grey they use.

As things go in japan thats not to bad. The worst clip I saw was a man went into a phone both and a firework went off. Hopefully it was a stunt and not some poor member of the public.

I joined earlier, but within a minute the server shut down so I really couldn't be bothered.

Most of the Norton stuff is - they get better though like their latest firewall for example because they bought out another company and are using their software as a new base lol
Goback isn't too bad, the best thing about it is that you can run it without actually needing to go into windows, so if things really die in windows you can still run it.
-
System restore is a wonderful thing... unless it has been virused Sad
Generally though Safemode->system restore
First thing I do when ever I install XP is deactivate System Restore, can't be doing with that crap. If you really feel you have to use some software like that then GoBack actually works.

I think he just got hacked because he posted his IP in another thread asking for it.

You must have a problem with either of those to applications or windows (i imagine your are running windows). I have no problems with either of them on my setup.
Unless the page that you are loading has particularly resource hungry plug-ins used, such as flash, which could then cause you are problem.

A Microsoft firewall... Confused
I realy wouldn't trust such a thing to be open to the Internet... might be ok behind a NAT router... but the only thing stopping a flood of misc internet trafic... I think not...
ISA is really good, and quite fun. A lot of large companies as well as the government use it. What it works well at is intergrating with all of Microsofts other products and in large situations. For home use it is impractical, and not just because of its cost.

whats the best firewall money can buy
You don't have to buy the software, you would only have to pay for support if you couldn't use the software. Otherwise you might pay for a hardware firewall which is just normal computer components and software, but you pay for the pretty little box.
For the absalutly paranoid Packet Filter (The OpenBSD Firewall/NAT router) is probably the best.Is what I would say, but I wouldn't say you would have to be paranoid to use it, if you want to learn a good operating system and pf then you should go for this option.
If you simply haven't got the time or the willingness to do that then I would recommend Monowall, mainly because its very light and runs brillantly on old hardware and embedded platforms. I find smoothwall is ok, but find Monowall more stable.

It began with 12 and ended with 94. He probably lives somewhere around Auburn, Indiana.
i have a tripple protection firewall anyway from ZoneLabsFirewall protection from ZoneLabs is not protection, even if they say that you have tripple protectio, its more like putting tissue paper up for the packets to go through rather than a reinforced concrete wall.
Get at least a small little cheap NAT router.
P.S. I have the IP still as you might imagine.
-
Ubuntu server is ok, its quite fun, but the auto LAMP setup is pretty bad, its much better to install the programs yourself, make sure that you only have what you need and you know whats going on.
I would recommend Suse 10.1 for people new to setting up server. Its not the lightest distro at the moment but for people new to linux then Yast makes it very easy for them to administer aspects of the computer with a little knowledge of where all the files are.

If you computer is connected directly to the internet then no.
Plus, this is just a really really stupid idea.

I always thought it was parity based and the Array had to be the same as the one from the time the drive died... time to go read more me thinks thanks stringwray Smile
Edit couldn't you just start writing after the last data point from when the drive died and blahblahblah wow that would be a lot of redirects - compare the modified stamps and only read the latest one maybe and cloan any file changed hmmm reading I shall go
Not all Raid arrays are parity, and Toms Hardware did a long piece on the reliability of arrays under different circumstances and the probabilities of having a more drives fail at different times of before, during and after rebuilding.
Some arrays allow you to continue using them with one drive down with limited performance, so this would be changing the data on the array. Then when you add the replacement hard drive the whole array has to be rebuilt again generally.
Put it this way, its like burning a dvd/cd, if you do something resource intensive while burning you are far more likely to make a coaster than if you turn everything off that you are running and don't use your computer.
-
Most raid cards that are featured on motherboards require a reboot to rebuild if they are hardware, otherwise its in software. In which case you haven't got Windows etc. on the array because its impossible.
You usually have to pay a lot for being able to rebuild a raid array without rebooting because they like to charge extra for it.
Personally I wouldn't like to rebuild an array while still in use ever if I had to, its far more likely to fail if you do so.
-
If you are using a hardware raid solution then it should be available to access in the bios before your computer boots, and there should be a option to rebuild broken arrays, in all likely events it would probably tell you what you need to so.
If you are using a software raid solution then you will need to boot into windows and use the software the you made the array with.

Basically no.
The long answer, when you request a file off the internet it will come up as that extension, even if you rename what you are saving it as to a different extension.
You only hope would be if the server hosting them wasn't using standard extentions so started calling .mp3 to .music or something like that, which is probably not going to happen.
You only option would be to try and see if you could run portaFirefox and tell it to use a different proxy on the internet and hope that your college hasn't blocked direct connections to the internet completely (some don't because they think you have to use IE and in active directory they have made policies which mean you can't change the setting in IE.)

If you having to use the molex version then you can buy molex switches which plug into the drive then the cable and give you a switch for the power. That way you don't have to worry about pulling them apart or together.
Other than that you could always buy a hotswap bay which will easily allow you to remove your harddrive.

portman_road (I didn't name it, british football fans might know where it is from)
My new one is going to be called something else but i'll wait until I have the hardware before I name it.

Suse 10.0 - Main Server
Suse 10.1 - Test Server
FreeBSD (Monowall) - Router/Gateway/Firewall
XP Pro - Desktop
Plus a whole host more on other machines.

Not for me, F1 has become a bit boring is the last couple of years. Although I do hope they don't have a repeat of what happened last year, although I am sure M. Schumacher wouldn't mind.
Make windows reconize two keyboards?
in Everything Else
Posted
You shouldn't have any problems installing two USB keyboards in one computer, XP might get upset if one is PS/2 and the other is USB, i have a feeling the USB kills the PS/2 one.
As for macros, be careful, I know some online mmorpg have policies against people using macros and you could find out self getting banned. Which i'm sure you would agree would not be a fun thing.
