what is your 1-sentence though on awd e_dawg? (e.g. rwd "is only necessary on a racetrack")

cool, tks for the info e_dawg i did read about some owners using low-octane fuel occasionally, but it didn't seem like it was worth the risk (or the 10% performance hit on the vr6 on a dyno). what year is your jetta? regret the purchase at all? if i was to buy one it would be a loaded gli.

i was just looking at jetta vr6 vs bmw 325/330xi and i found all sorts of clear declarations about the use of premium gas on the vw. is this the case w/most modern cars w/nice engines? :(

mmc is a really bad name. i don't actively use any ati cards, and i know 'mmc' to be 'microsoft management console'

i thought they changed the wrangler engine a few years ago

for future reference, the behavior you're talking about is called a CHROOT "-A --chrooteveryone"

proftpd is cheese. one of the worst.

ftpds are a gigantic source of exploits. make sure you're using vsftpd or pure-ftpd. if you want people to be able to connect to you using pasv (typical) mode, you'll need to tell your ftpd to use a fixed port range for it and open those ports on your firewall.

you're entrusting your security to the scripts you're running. php and perl themselves are fine. opening port 21 is only going to allow active ftp, not passive ftp. most of the world is configured to use passive by default. what is the ftpd for? is it really necessary? consider using...

pcp&c seems to have rabid fans that date back to the days when pc magazine actually meant something to people. they bought something, it worked, and they've been rabid ever since. i don't get it really :(

antec truepower, fortron, and fortron-based sparkles

120gxp, not 120g. come on stereo!

i'm glad i never rmad 2 defective 30gb 75gxps :) let's see what i can pull down

because sbc is better! http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/gknot-main2.htm try that and compare to a flask or vdub rip

you guys should really look at nandub again :(

second smartripper and merc, why not nandub?

we only support java 1.3.1 through our api as well because of bugs

the java 'write once, run everywhere' propaganda is bs there are innumerable, crucial parts of the language that are os-specific. you'll notice most actual java APPLICATIONS have multiple versions for different oses. that's why. it goes about as far as 'hello world' in terms of flying...

i think it actually can be as simple as 'it sucks' if two cars cost 30 grand and look the same but one is faster and has better resale value, you can certainly argue that the first one isn't useless - it does get you from point a to point b. in light of the competition, however, it still...

i guess i should make a note not to make a dissenting opinion about anything on this board unless it's a popular-to-rip-on tech company like ecs or microsoft. really, debating against debate? wtf?

my company's clustering software runs on win32, freebsd, and linux and all shares the same c++ codebase. 99% of it is platform independent, and the stuff that isn't is just very light. service vs daemon was the 'biggest' thing.

what is YOUR point? i was mounting a case against java in light of people considering it.

javascript has no relation w/java. none. nada. also, java sucks. see my rants on storagereview's forums for details :)

yay for piracy! :roll:

that's a good point to make too. i think any modern nvidia or ati solution will be better than whatever they're already running in terms of speed/image quality (unless they're using matrox and don't care about speed).

it may also be observed that 3-year old tomatoes taste worse than new tomatoes :( i don't get these comparisons, guys. geforce2/3 are ANCIENT. if you want an image quality reference, use a geforce4.

i believe gentoo is every bit as leading edge

fans die, psu burns up usually. i'd estimate 80% of them have failed over the course of a year. the cpu fans aren't much better.

sv24/sv25 are noisy and have terrible, terrible psus that fail as sure as the sun rises. trust me. i own 16 of them.

it's inifinitely easier to do it during the install, especially for bootable volumes

red hat's installation has very simple raid configuration.

i have the 1stgen 2677

is your imap server going to be accessible via the internet, or just webmail? if the imap can't be seen on the open net, feel free to use GETHACKEDIMAPD or whatever, because it doesn't matter as long as people can't get to it. imap-uw is literally a one-liner setup (if that, depending on...

imap-uw is the easiest. enjoy getting hacked.

if you're that worried about it, the best configuration would probably be to have an internal imap server and a dedicated webmail server. firewall the webmail server so that its only traffic allowed to the lan is to the imap port of the imap server. webmail is just web presentation of email -...

let's begin this simply: why do you need a dmz?

you can accomplish all that by running it on the appropriate interface and using a packet filter

i would do it all on one box because i don't see the need for a dmz. just force ipsec on all your wireless traffic.

macs are broadcast via the arp protocol

ha! i have 2 (out of 2) epias with 'failed ethernet' here too. here's a tip: take it out of the 2677 case, and it will work. it's the case's dc psu that causes it :( yes i used them with freebsd. to wit, compaq's (intel-based) dual adapters weren't too expensive, and they can have a module...

it's a slim (laptop) cdrom only

macs can be spoofed so it's more of a 'deterrent'. packet sniffing can be done without an ip address, only an ip stack. you set the nic to promiscuous mode (where it actually 'listens' to everything it sees, even stuff not directed to it) and you can dump out from it. for more extremely...

i use dual intels and quad adaptecs, both are fine. you really need to save pci space that much?

it will only hold 1 drive

do it all on one box. openbsd is not nearly as friendly as freebsd in terms of version upgrades. buy the oreilly wireless security book.

you WILL NOT regret it. only issue may be the black color if it doesn't match.

2000fps are great if you're not an action gamer, and only $850.

some kind of esoteric dma implementation thing the system will actually fail to boot with it works with linux

also should be noted the black slim cdroms they provide are incompatible with openbsd, but the white ones aren't
