This is news?

/etc/rc.d is the place to look, mate. You can write a little executable #/bin/sh script in there and it will get run on boot. I don't know the format of Linux's rc.d (or rc.sysinit or whatever) or else I'd help further. But a bit of searching around should make it clear.

I'm certainly interested in your results Coug. Is there a 60G/platter version of the JB and a 40G/platter one? How do you tell the difference?

Yep, would you take what you paid for them plus postage, or would you like to make a little profit?

You'd be (un)lucky for hot water to exceed 60C, so it should be just fine. The hole in the concrete is probably there just to take the pipe, concrete will only expand or contract a few mm at most in an apartment building (given the temperature is pretty constant anyway). Silicone will be fine...

Now, if you're looking to sell the sticks...

I'm sure it seems that length sometimes when you're towards the end of a long innings as a batsman, but I think you're exaggerating here.

The thief frozen of the bicycle?

I started naming servers after Egyptian gods, and managed to run out of names long before I ran out of servers. Naming themes for large server farms are a problem.

Tyan boards are very nice indeed, I'll vouch for them. If your budget doesn't extend quite that far, I've been very happy with my Gigabyte GA-8SG667 and a P4 2.4G. The processor, RAM and PCI slots are all independently clocked if you need to push performance in one area over the others. The...

Still seems like your commit charge is very high. Right now I'm only runing MyIE with 1 window open, but then again my commit charge is 89M, which is way less than yours. I have trimmed down my services a bit (not aggressively though!) but then so have you. I've just opened a document in Word...

Well said - arguably even better the second time through ;) - and I wish it was contentious! I strongly agree with nearly all you say. It's a bit late to go into it in depth, but the punchline is basically that for me the mark of a great team is when the only team that can beat them is...

Received yesterday! Thanks mate.

It was unkind in the extreme, but the Daily Telegraph's headline after the first day of the first test was pretty good : "Is there anyone in England who can play cricket?"

Thanks Groltz. At least it's a start...

I liked the previous phpbb skin much better too. I find this one very angular and more stark/confrontational than the previous one.

IMDB is also a good source of info - you would have seen that "Ghost Ship" rates a 5.5 (pretty poor from IMDB users) and also the soundtrack listing : http://us.imdb.com/Soundtracks?0288477

Pradeep still owes Sol one too...

So Tony, how did this all work out?

Is there any way to make the toolbar smaller? The icons are all well and good, but they're way too large. This is my first foray back into Opera since about version 2 or thereabouts.

1 + 1 = 2, so 2 640Gb cables. There's a 7.5Tb cable allegedly under construction too, but one has to wonder if Tyco will go through with it in the current climate.

Indeed you're right, that's the way it should be. The direct route to NY from here is via California, across the Pacific. (The map doesn't show this very well). Going round the other way via Europe is further plus bandwidth between Asia and Europe is limited and expensive (one 5/10Gb cable, one...

Yeah, it's good, isn't it. It's from Cliptin. So, wanna have the president vs. chairman discussion again? :mrgrn:

It's much cheaper than the box here in Australia, and that's all I really care about.

More like the only entry, but you're welcome.

:mrgrn:

If you leave it for 60 seconds you'll probably find it boots anyway - at least it did with me.

Yep, that'd be fine. Paypal okay?

I'll (belatedly) throw my hat into the ring with one stipulation : no pictures of the current US president or the current Australian prime minister. :)

It's even from the right place... (it'll need to be shrunk somewhat) :

Could you tell me how heavy it is packed? I don't need manuals etc. since I have a 7004WBR already. I'll then work it out and let you know.

Will you take USD45 + shipping at my cost?

Nope, never had that problem. Make sure the board is properly grounded and your motherboard standoffs are properly fitted. Also make sure it's not hanging because the CPU/chassis fans aren't fast enough or whatever. You can also try going with the latest released BIOS as opposed to the beta I...

Above port 1024. Outgoing connections to non-firewalled boxes are fine because the connections are initiated by one of the client machines behind your firewall, so the NAT box knows that 10.0.0.x is connecting via port 2000-and-whatever to www.whatever.com at port 80, and to expect a series of...

Glad to hear it! How's the dual CPU goodness?

You're correct. That's also why you can't retrieve files on P2P programs if both clients are behind firewalls - there's no way to initiate a connection (unless you open all the relevant ports from both sides of both firewalls, and put in a permanent port/IP mapping into your NAT box).

I voted "yes" because I'm a sadist.

There's a hilairious Dilbert cartoon on this subject, but it makes fun of Microsoft instead.

Cobgrats! Our announcements are on the 15th...

In fact what up with #s 16, 2, & 9?

I might not have done the most brilliant thermal paste-ing job, Tim. You might want to check. ;)

Looks like my work here is done already (by others, no less). :wink: I too think the Ports collection is one of the highlights of FreeBSD. Just cd to /usr/ports/category/app, type "make all" and it will retrieve the latest source code (and any dependancies), apply the FreeBSD patches, compile...

Maybe, but I cheated to get it working (ie. I don't use encrypted passwords).

I enjoyed that very much, thanks Buck.

I was happy with your post until I came across that last bit. I think I speak on behalf of many when I say, whut?!

Yes, that's my problem - I don't have a spare disk large enough.

I'm a big fan of FreeBSD, Coug - if there's anything I can help you with, let me know.

Hmm. What's the difference between the FreeBSD disk format vs. the Linux norm, ext2 or whatever it is? I can convert Linux partitions to FAT32/NTFS using PM8 I believe.

I have an old 14GB disk formatted under FreeBSD with files on it I would like to migrate to my WinXP system. Is there anything Partition Magic-like that will convert it directly, or do I have to build another FreeBSD box?
