    Farewell (but perhaps not goodbye)

    Best of luck to you i. I hope you find what you are looking for. FWIW, I can only remember dreaming two or three times in the last five years. I have a friend and she says she is the same way. Feeling tired after waking up is not good however.

    "Natural" keyboard

    Wen I first started using a natural keyboard my typing speed slowed down. Then, once I got used to it, my typing speed increased past my speed on an "unnatural" keyboard. I use both kinds even at home but prefer the natural.

    Firewall question

    Hook a monitor/mouse/keyboard up to Roughie. Login as username:root, password:whatever you picked. Try to ping the gateway address of the segment you are on. During smoothie setup did you tell it to use DHCP on Roughie Red or did you specify the IP/subnet mask and gatway. ping command: ping...

    Firewall question

    When you say you can see Roughie from a client machine I assume you mean from Roughie green. Sounds like roughie red is not working properly. Can you ping SF.net from the smoothie console?

    Machine names on a private network

    i, as far as building wat you need from scratch I cant' help. However, for my smoothwall all I needed to do was add the dns name and internal IP address to the host file and restart the service. Smoothwall will always use the hard coded address before searching. BSD is bound to be similar. And...

    Firewall question

    Richard is no loger a part of the Smoothwall project. Tannin you might just post a message to the newsgroup/messageboards. You will want to make sure that orange is indeed closed to green by default. Alternatively, anybody with iptable experience and time should be able to help you.

    Wag the Dog

    You can't even get your insinuations straight. The term "wag the dog" existed long before the movie was made. And, by the way, the movie is widely viewed as a caricature of Pres. CLINTON.

    Sechs, had there been explicit rules regarding exactly how to count mis-votes there would have been no need for the court to get involved.

    Vday

    If I were dating someone I would institute a special day sometime else in the year and ignore Feb 14th. OTOH, cheap roses are around for maybe a week after. Maybe I'd just offset it by a week. No, I'd buy a dozen, refrigerate them and then give one every two days or something.

    I dislike it as a concept, too much focus on one day. Besides, this year may be harder than others. We'll see. :(

    Hope nobody minds if I also answer the question also but slightly rephrased? If I were to choose a D candidate on the basis of ease of running against them and winning, the choice would be either Dean or Clark. They are so far out in left field that the race would not be a race. However, that...

    6500K (Daylight) CFLs......

    In addition, it would be rare for all of the LEDs to fail at once. They could plan to replace the array after 2/3 of the LEDs fail. This would help with the man-power scheduling as this scenario is not an emergency situation. And then there is the safety aspect for the motorists who can still...

    Most ignorant thing I've ever heard in my life

    Arrrgh, and I would have learned it too if I had only known it was there. When I transfered away I stepped down to programming on a teletype. And there were only three terminals. IM is to email as Nextel two-way is to the cell phone.

    Most ignorant thing I've ever heard in my life

    Should have been there four years earlier Merc. I'm not sure if they actually expected all of us freshmen to just know how to "slip" into the computer system and intuit vi circa '92 but few of us did. I think of the 12 guys I hung out with only 3 had computers and 2 of those guys were ubergeek...

    From what I've been hearing, Dean's demeanor is such that if Dean only had a youth movement he could be the leader of european country. The late night shows seem to be making hay with him.

    Beef

    Perhaps "basicly". But only in the most basic of terms. It's only entirely carb free for the first two weeks. Maybe one week. IMO, the three biggest contributors to US obesity is 1) large portion sizes, 2) eating foods high in sugars immediately after a meal, 3) intake of too many carbs.

    I know what you meant but this image is awfully disturbing. Personal Responsibility. Why does the government get the right to tell me how to invest my resources? Beyond if I thought they could do it better than I is the philosophical idea that I get to make those decisions.
