Our perception of, and reaction to, events. It doesn't seem to be working. The serious violent crime rate has declined by 60% over the last 20 years. Youth violent crime has fallen even faster. Both are at or near their lowest levels on record. Statistically, the crazies favor knives by a large margin, if I'm not mistaken.

That's an error: it's the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf.

*shrug* No one seems to know what's happening with time.windows.com. The service is hosted by Akamai; it's possible that Microsoft can't fix it.

time.windows.com is broken. Really broken. It's over 100 seconds off. The Windows NTP client should refuse to synchronize with it. time.nist.gov just takes forever to respond. It's probably overloaded. Everyone should be using the pool. The pool is your friend.

It's probably a bug. Zero is a standard representation of an invalid address; Windows traps attempts to reference it to catch errors. It's possible that there's an underlying hardware problem, but it's at least equally likely that the process simply jumped without looking, so to speak.

Hmm. The attachment is space-separated values. Did the board eat the tabs?

The tar commands would be similar to tar -cf KUS-home-${date}.tar --exclude 'public_html' ${dir} tar -cf KUS-web-${date}.tar --exclude 'secure' ${dir}/public_html tar -cf KUS-secure-${date}.tar --exclude 'dke' ${dir}/public_html/secure tar -cf DKE-web-${date}.tar ${dir}/public_html/secure/dke where # sh date=$(date +%F) dir=/home/bsbaker # tcsh set date=`date +%F` set dir=/home/bsbaker except that the --exclude options have to be tweaked.

Questions: When you say "all files", does that include the files that will be in the other tarballs? Frex, does the backup of /home/bsbaker include /home/bsbaker/public_html? Do you really need four tarballs? Could you tar up the whole $HOME and break it apart later if needed? What's the root directory of the tarballs? Frex, should DKE-web expand to /home/bsbaker/public_html/secure/dke/, or public_html/secure/dke/, or dke/, or what? Does your host provide a less stupid way to backup user accounts? rsync or something?

"1.0e-20" or "1e-20" should work. (I don't have the C# spec handy but mcs accepts both.)

It's good publicity for Fedora. The webmin package was orphaned and removed from Debian and Ubuntu a little over a year ago. The last Ubuntu release that included it was Breezy.

According to MS, that's not true. Vista will disable S/PDIF if the content protection requests it, but not on its own initiative. WinME and XP are supposed to have the same feature.

This line if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") { checks if the browser is IE before evaluating the code the add the favorite. It probably wouldn't work anyway; I doubt Opera has the AddFavorite API the script uses.

Summary in case it's moved behind the subscription wall: (The (...) bits are supposed to be in square brackets but IPB munges the formatting if I use those.)

eWeek says it's hype.

That doesn't really make sense to me. Windows isn't the last system I would considered moving to from AIX, but it's toward the end of the list. First choice would be some kind of 'nix. Probably Linux, maybe Solaris. IBM AIX site. The Library seems to have all of the documentation for the current releases. The AIX V1 was released in '86. The latest version, V5.3, was released in 2004. V5.4 was supposed to be a released late last year but it seems to be running late.

That's the second cure for cancer I've heard about this year. We might beat the record last year when there were, IIRC, three announced in one week.

Eh? We're talking about inbound data, aren't we?

Port 80 isn't forwarded by my WRT54GS. The remote admin webapp sits on it when it's enabled. (And possibly when it isn't enabled... )

Yep, me too, a router works well, does the job:-) Same here. When I was running Debian I worked out an elaborate iptables script that served me well. When I switched to Ubuntu I didn't bother bringing it over. Didn't seem worth the trouble.

If it's Firefox remembering the forms it should be a local database[0]. If it's the site autofilling them, yeah, cookies. [0] ~/.mozilla/firefox/$PROFILE/signons.txt? Erk. Is that a Gentoo quirk or is it really Bon Echo?

I wouldn't be surprised. ReiserFS seems to be in maintence-mode and Reiser4 is going nowhere.

Argh! I was going to try to help yesterday but monodoc didn't give me any hits for SOAP and I didn't want to grope around in the dark. Now I see that monodoc's search feature just sucks.

The execute bit on directories control access to -- not just execution of -- the contents of a directory. As for why... you've got to do something with the 'execute' bit on directories and traversal control is sometimes useful.

Uhhhh.......good question:-) I think scsi means scuzzy.......not sure if scsi also means SATA. Maybe iccaros, jcl, or t0c knows this one. It gives me a headache to think about it. SATA is SATA and SCSI is SCSI. SATA is descended from an IBM PC/AT device interface (ATA = AT Attachment) and SCSI is descended from an older peripheral interface invented at one of Xerox's subsidiaries. So, they're different. However, SATA devices can emulate SCSI devices via SCSI-ATA Translation (SAT), Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controllers can be used with SATA drives (by tunneling the SATA protocol through S

Next time this happens, look for, and if you find it, delete, ~/.mozilla/firefox/$PROFILE/lock. You might have to delete .parentlock in the same directory, too. Firefox uses lockfiles to determine what profiles are in use; sometimes they don't get deleted at exit.
