I found Windows Vista RC1 as a torrent. That's one of the ways to get it. Microsoft has removed the download from their website. Then to legally use it, if you got a beta 2 key when MS released it, it will still work. [N]F

I heard about this and google searched it... I never thought it would happen... never.[N]F

It could be a server issue or the individual computer. though I don't think a dual core 2GHz CPU should slow down too much! [N]F

Actually, $40 isn't bad. There's some heavy duty software that costs almost $200+ but it's real professional. For $2,000 (about) you can get a broadcasting server that is like a radio station rolled up into a little box! You can do web casts with it, air wave broadcasts (if you are properly licensed) or even use it on a sound system.When it comes to Internet Radio, you have to know the way you want to go.Paid route: Usually easier to use since the software is more developed because it cost money.Free route: Not usually the best, harder to use, but hey, Apache server is free and popular[N]F

It seemed to have improve a little bit (cache tuned off, never use it as I do a lot of web development and visit frequently updated sites often) but no major difference. I don't know how people can stand Opera... the UI is not very appealing to me. Plus, I've never liked Opera since the days of the advertisements in the free version, back when you had to pay. Plus, it's proprietary software, not open source. I usually never have any problems with open source. As you can probably tell, next to windows and a few (like less than 5) programs I use, everything is open source, unless I'm on my Linux box. [N]F

no no, "Pirate Radio" is an actual broadcasting software/server like shoutcast. See: http://www.pirateradio.com/ Perfectly legal. [N]F

EDIT: My apologies, the title should be "firefox" not "firefo". The X key on my keyboard is tricky and sometimes it takes a while for X to show up. My Firefox just upgraded to Beta 2 and since Beta 1, it has been greatly improved! A new theme has been made to replace the older default theme and it comes with a new security feature where it checks sites you visit against possible known phishing sites and will warn you. One bug I noticed is that it likes to decrease page font size (Ctrl+-) on it's own sometimes. Also, another cool feature is that when you close it, you can have it set to re-open the tabs you had open before you closed it. I like it! Spell Check has had some minor improvements including "add to dictionary" function. Get it! Or let Firefox update for you. If you want to know a little more, here's the Beta 2 start page: http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/index-2.0b2.html [N]F

At home I'm running a Windows network where clients login via the login box where you select the domain. For some reason, logging in on my computer takes 1 minute and 14 seconds (I timed it) but my laptop will take 8 seconds, and the server itself is 3 seconds. Normally, when you first login, the computer has to create the local profile (I gave up on roaming profiles, seeing if that was causing the slow down) so there is slight delay, but 1:14 to login is just absurd. Especially since my computer and the server are basically on the same switch!Any ideas? I thought it may have to do with some setting with active directory, but I didn't find anything.Oh, the operating system is Windows Server 2003.[N]F

Oh, you mean using a proxy to bypass filters? Legal, but admins hate it. Great way to get network services on your back or even lose your network account [N]F

Actually, it usually isn't this difficult.. all over the web, I keep finding "yum install mysql" over and over. Why my server won't do it, who knows... I think I might have to ask around the Fedora site... another option would be re-installing from scratch, but I DO NOT want to do this... there's WAY too much work already put into it. Is there a manual way, perhaps? [N]F

Don't do it unless you're positive you can. Some scripts will not function unless the files and/or folders are CHMODed to 777. Configuration scripts should NEVER be set to 777 unless they're blank and the installer needs to right to them but after that you should set the permissions back. But like you said, "I had given 777 permissions to certain folders since a php script requires it to be that way...." Keywords in bold. It must require it, so don't change the permissions. The script probably needs to write, read and execute to files inside those folders. The script will probably have limited functionality if you did this. Upload folders MUST have 777 permission or else no one could upload stuff. The server would reject all uploads through the browser. Just consult the manual (or installation guide) about file permissions. NEVER give your public_html directory full permissions either. [N]F

I use firefox because it will block automatic software downloading. I found one site that was all blank on firefox except a "loading, please wait" message. I looked at the source and what was in there didn't shock me: VBScript to download some virus. Firefox can't read VBScript so it didn't download. Also, I've run across sites that try to install ActiveX controls without permission. On IE, the same site downloaded about 5 viruses.For those sites that don't work in Firefox (e.g. the way they're displayed, etc) I just use IE tab extension in firefox so I don't have to open an IE window. Click an icon and the page loads in IE right inside Firefox. That's the best method.[N]F

Yeah, I found that site when I was trying to setup my own web server. I remember it took a while to find and it was so information filled that I printed out every part because it is such a great guide. Though I've never really setup a web server on Windows 2000 (I jumped right into a Linux server), I kept the guide for some reason. Best 28 page print job ever! Even if more than half of it is out of date, it's still a trusty guide! I've read it over and over. [N]F

I like banner 3 a lot. It really gets the theme going! [N]F

You're hardly going to find a server that is up for more than two years, let alone one. Why? Software updates require restarts of the actual software (if it's Linux) or the entire server (if it's Windows). Software updates are a MUST for hosting providers to keep the servers safe for everyone. Also, hardware fails as well because NOTHING lasts "forever". What you need to do is ASK around. Some providers that are really terrible may have excellent uptime. You never know. Just my two cents! [N]F

Here's a guide that I've had since early 2005 about running your own web server. It's located here: http://lygo.com/ly/sitemissing.html The guy who wrote it had the same exact problem you appear to be having as well. [N]F EDIT: Page 2 has what you're looking for, link above modified to take you to page 2

I say we launch a nuke at it and blast it out of our solar system... then there'll be no more arguing over it! [N]F

Yeah, something like that happened close to where I live (like 5 miles away) [N]F

IF Microsoft ever makes it open source, there's no doubt it would be the most DANGEROUS operating system to run. Why? When Microsoft opened their big trap flabbing it about a HUGE security hole in Windows 2000 BEFORE they released a patch ring a bell? Yeah, a virus was out before a patch was. That's why it is dangerous. Too many security holes in it and too many people & servers running it. My high school runs a Windows 2003 thin client server for a thin client lab we have and my vocational school where I go for Cisco networking is built off a Windows network (it sucks, but the data center where the servers are hosted also is located in the school and this data center hosts other school's web sites on Windows NT 4 servers, the grade and attendance systems as well for the other schools). So as you can see, it's dangerous. [N]F

I found this thing called "LogMeIn.com" in an advertisement on myspace. Normally, I avoid MySpace ads, but this one is exceptional. Right now, I'm sitting in my living room on my laptop typing this on my computer in my room! :)Using my internet connection, I just go to LogMeIn.com and connect to my computer - ANYWHERE in the world! It's free, and secure (256 bit encryption) and it's great! You can transfer files, and more! This is amazing for free! Since I leave my computer on, I can now easily access my computer from anywhere in the world! It's great!Oh, for those of you who are extreme security freaks like me, here's the layered security:1. Access logmein.com > transfer to 256 bit encryption security as soon as you press <ENTER>2. Login on logmein.com with your username (email) and password (still 256 bit encryption)3. Login using the user account on your computer (still, 256 bit encryption)That's pretty secure. :)It's free, and you get a free pro trial as well. Go check it out! Especially if you require remote access like you're actually sitting at your computer!![N]F

I'm having a problem with my Fedora Core 5 server. I need to install MySQL but it won't. I keep running the command under root: yum install mysql which should install all the clients but it won't. It gives me this: [root@xerge ~]# yum install mysqlLoading "installonlyn" pluginSetting up Install ProcessSetting up repositoriescore [1/3]updates [2/3]extras [3/3]Reading repository metadata in from local filesExcluding Packages in global exclude listFinishedParsing package install argumentsNo Match for argument: mysqlNothing to do[root@xerge ~]# Anyone have any ideas?

Just asking, but do you upload the full resolution photos (the 1-3 MB images, unedited) to your account?? If I share photos (and I do), I'll always size down the originals to 770 width. This takes a 2MB photo down to about 300 some kilobytes. So it's also easy on bandwidth. Then if anyone wants the original, I have them email me the photo file name and I grab the original and email it off to them. [N]F

This is just awesome! Time for some open source cake & ice cream! [N]F (proud Linux user)

I don't think so.. it's VERY old. As for the SSL support, you can get it for $45/month plus a $100 setup fee that really proves how out of date they are! [N]F

MORE HERE/SOURCE: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Update the textbooks! This is very interesting. Based on some new "laws" for classifying a planet as a planet, Pluto doesn't make the mark... actually, it is VERY off! What makes a planet a planet? This "rule" from the article defines a planet: "a celestial body that is in orbit around the sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a ... nearly round shape, and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit." The part that classifies Pluto as, IMO, a useless hunk of ice floating in outer space is "has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit." Since Pluto's orbit overlaps Neptune's, it isn't classified as a planet. What do you guys think about this? [N]F
